[Chorus]

I say there ain't nothin' wrong with tryin' to be great

I pray everybody gets to find a way

We can fight about expectations

Or spread the wings and get high like a spaceship

But I was only tryin' to be great

And even though it seem like nobody relates

I got a smile on my face when I talk to angels

I'm not afraid of your greatness, I'm grateful

[Verse 1]

I gotta say I feel great today

The sunshine sharp like a razor blade

It cuts through the negative space

And there ain't no shame in the shadе that was made

When you light the flamе and brighten up the mundane

Got you on the front page of my systems update

I'm tryin' to get my heel on the breaks

Let me stay with you because it feels kinda great

At the least you can keep me on the wait list

I stay patient, no complaints

I'm gonna stay creative until I get cremated

Even then y'all can mix my ashes up in the paint

This ain't no mistake, I'm familiar with greatness

I love it, I wanna stand close enough to taste it

Nothin' less than adjacent

Save me a place at your next celebration

[Chorus]

I say there ain't nothin' wrong with tryin' to be great

I pray everybody gets to find a way

We can fight about expectations

Or spread the wings and get high like a spaceship

But I was only tryin' to be great

And even though it seem like nobody relates

I got a smile on my face when I talk to angels

I’m not afraid of your greatness, I'm grateful

[Verse 2]

I used to walk through the rainstorm

Just so I could call you from a pay phone

I would hold the umbrella over your halo

Boilin' up a pot full of gold at end of the rainbow

We're just one staple away from unstable

Try to put some elasticity in the queso

Can you spare a lil change in the tone

It’s engraved in stone, we're just lookin' for a way home

Pop the monitor off your ankle

Computer in your pocket, it’s all the same though

The planet is a prison and we stuck til we die or escape

So try not to act like an a-hole

I'm thankful, embrace the time tables

Naturally aged flavor, dried mango

Ain't no space for excuses or scapegoats

Yeah I guess if you say so

[Chorus]

I say there ain't nothin' wrong with tryin' to be great

I pray everybody gets to find a way

We can fight about expectations

Or spread the wings and get high like a spaceship

But I was only tryin' to be great

And even though it seem like nobody relates

I got a smile on my face when I talk to angels

I'm not afraid of your greatness, I'm grateful

[Verse 3]

It's just you and I, ain't nobody else player

I mean aside from all the spectators

Let's take a ride on the elevator

Go outside and tell your neighbors

I felt like I fell face first

Realize a hater ain't nothin' but a self hater

She said "Hell's full of saviors"

There's nothin' left to say, I‘ll smell later

[Outro]

Let’s be grateful, we could be greater

You could be greater, I could be greater

Let’s be grateful, we could be greater

You could be greater, I could be greater
