Greatness - Intellectual

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

Everywhere I go I get a standing ovation

Speaking in code, my game got no imitation

It's an innovation, we taking off like we in a space ship

You are now experiencing greatness

You are now experiencing

One-two, this the sure shot

So high, I keep it cracking like it's the dope spot

Fuck the evil corporation, this Mr. Robot type

Music gotta move it, now this is your shot

To lose your constitution, get loose as a wet noodle

Got 'em dancing on Delancy, he as fancy as pet poodles

Got 'em downtown swinging like Danze and Lil' Fame

Send my enemies back to the essence from which you came

What inspire you? What is it you trynna do?

Somebody told you, "You should probably give it up," they lied to you

Never aspire to the average or the mediocre

Let the greatness inside of you take over

Stock broker or an activist, a soldier or a pacifist

Life a chain reaction, you a link or you a catalyst?

Walk in the house of God, your house of cards starts collapsing

Fashion killa higher than villas in Aspen

Fuck titles, you provoking a reaction

Are you slow or are you fast, man, are you smoking, are you passing?

Are you wishing, are you hoping, are you hoping for some action?

As serious as heart attacks, man, am I joking, am I laughing?

If you see me crack a smile, then I got paid tonight

I'm with my A-alikes or mama made a plate of rice

You say, "You need to dumb it down," like that's some great advice

Nah, I'm way too busy showing them what greatness like

Everywhere I go I get a standing ovation

Speaking in code, my game got no imitation

It's an innovation, you are now experiencing greatness

You are now experiencing greatness

You are now experiencing

I'm prepared for the greatness, spit a flow that'll strip your soul

Bare and naked, I ain't scared to say shit (Yeah)

God is the greatest, no joke

I have my foes going through spiritual anguish, cause I'm clearly His favorite

Never here for the fake shit, staring at the so-called gangsters

We OGs nothing to play with

This is much more than entertainment

Still get on my Marlo, walk through the hood on some my name is my name shit
