Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Motherfuckers talkin' crazy
Sayin' I should quit
I fuckin' tell 'em "Make me
Eat a fuckin' dick"
I'm feelin like the greatest
On the beat whoever did it
Mike WiLL, the one who made it
It's Shady on the lyrics
[Verse 2]
I'm somewhat outlandish, they say
You say we're cut from the same cloth
But I guess you fabricate, eh?
You better bring more men than the Latter Day Saints
Manic states, Stephen Paddock with automatic stay sprayin'
At anything that may stand in their way
As I stand at the bay window with a hand grenade and a tre eight
At the Mandalay Bay
Common sense, I'm a dollar short and a day late
James Holmes at the Saturday Batman matinée
Must have missed my CAT scan that day
I just threw a Tampax at Dre
Trashcan, Tascam and ashtray
I'm turning back to a madman, can't take anymore
But I try to get away from the anger and rage
My basal ganglia is an A to the K
Get your ass spayed like bidets breakin' your legs
Ain't givin' ways ankle the race
You chumps don't even know how to do somethin' to give goosebumps
A day when you say that somethin' you heard gave someone
A lump in their throat if you had 'em choked up, you'd be yankin' my chain
Feel like I'm headed for the padded cell, the
Bar for me, what I rap isn't fair, but
Guess that's the standard I'm held to
But if something like that doesn't tell ya
You set a mark too high when platinum sales are looked at as a failure
Then you better take it back to the shelter
And Hamburger Helper, 'cause damn it, I'm still the
[Verse 3]
Greatest in the world, greatest in the world
Greatest in the world, no lie, I might be
Best to ever do it, best to ever do it
Best to ever do it, I feel like the
Greatest, woke up to honkys soundin' like me
Never be as good, never be as good
Packet of wife-beaters, white t-shirts
What? But, I'm the
Greatest
[Verse 4]
So you sold ten million albums then? (What?)
Only problem is
You put out ten million albums, eh?
Wait, what was I just about to say?
Oh yeah, let me get this out the way
I know there's people that are pissed about
The way I mispronounce the name "Die Antwoord"
Fuck, I still can't say this shit, but how quickly they forget
Who the fuck I was, now ninja try to duck my slugs
To let your girl get fucked by Muggs
I'd like to give a shout to Cypress
This can't be real, you dissed me
And I was just tryin' to give you a shout
Now get the fuck out my rhyme book
No more shiners, already too much time talkin'
Rappers, I hear you talkin' shit
I'm just too big to respond to it
God forbid I forget though and jump out the window
Somebody better childproof it
'Cause if I lose it, we could rewind to some old Ja Rule shit
And I could remind motherfuckers I'll do shit
You don't got the tools, I got my tool kit (Bitch)
I bullshit you not
[Verse 5]
Y'all fools just forgot that I'm so fuckin' awful with the thoughts
And when I'm hostile and impossible to stop
So you can call it a nostril
'Cause it's not gonna ever
I'll never let up on the pedal, might as well get the mop
'Cause I'm wipin' up everyone in this genre
'Cause on the mic, I feel like I'm the
[Verse 6]
Greatest in the world, greatest in the world
Greatest in the world, no lie, I might be
Best to ever do it, best to ever do it
Best to ever do it, I feel like the
Greatest, woke up to honkys soundin' like me
Never be as good, never be as good
Packet of wife-beaters, white t-shirts
What? But, I'm the
Greatest
[Verse 7]
Oh yeah, and one more thing I want to mention (What?)
Is you're one dimension
I'm a monkey wrench and I can flunk detention
And I love contingents
So welcome to the gun convention
Muscles flexin', gotta strut like a front suspension
And you just stuck the key up in the ignition
And gave me enough gas to flood my engine (Yeah)
Psychopath, Michael Jack's blowin' up like a raft
I just slapped Vlad with a ISIS flag
Bet you I come back twice as bad (Uh)
Revival didn't go viral
[Verse 8]
Denaun and Royce tell me that I should take the high road
Fuck that, I'm finna hit back till I run outta gunpowder
And split the scene
Hold the mic, similar to pistol squeeze
And I shoot from the hip when I grip them things
And my lips are the clips
Got the Sig lit like it's nicotine
Trigger me and Slim gets mean
Bars are like bullets when I spit them schemes
That's why I call them motherfuckers M-16's
Float like a butterfly, I'm gonna sting like a a bee
You ain't harmin' a thing
I get a day hard as I'm gonna swing
I'm gonna need to put my arm in a sling
But like a wedding band, you gotta be diamond to even climb in the ring
Anomaly, I'm Muhammad Ali
'Cause I knew one day, I'm gonna be the
[Verse 9]
Greatest in the world, greatest in the world
Greatest in the world, no lie, I might be
Best to ever do it, best to ever do it
Best to ever do it, I feel like the
Greatest, woke up to honkys soundin' like me
Never be as good, never be as good
Packet of wife-beaters, white t-shirts
What? But, I'm the
Greatest
