Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just let me be great
Let me be great
Uh, I feel like motherfuckin' Cassius Clay right now
Genius
[Verse 2]
Don't be good, my ****, be great
After that government cheese, we eating steak
After them projects, now we on estates
I'm from the bottom, I know you can relate
[Verse 3]
Fuck up the world
Let's fuck up this world
Fuck up the world
Me and destiny got a date
[Verse 4]
Martin had a dream, HOV got a team
My chain already heavy, don't let me get a ring
Parades down Flatbush, confetti on my fur
Turn right in Red Hook, **** heavy on the curb
See, most of my **** died early twenties or late teens
I'm just trying to come from under the thumb of this regime
One percent of a billion more than **** ever seen
Still they wanna act like it's an everyday thing, clean
[Verse 5]
Fuck up this world
Fuck up this world
Fuck up this world
Fuck up the, uh
[Verse 6]
High yellow sky dweller and the rose gold
Legend of the summer and the Rose Bowl
Came through Pasadena in the low-low
Just to show respect to the cholos
Feeling like a stranger in my own land
Got me feelin' like Brody in Homeland
I just want a shot to show my genius
Standing on the top, hold my penis
America tried to emasculate the greats
Murdered Malcolm, gave Cassius the shakes
Wait, tell 'em, "Rumble, young man, rumble"
Try to dim your lights 'til you be humble
You know I'm gon' shine like a trillion watts
You know a **** trill as Michael Jackson's socks
Sending light out to Compton and the hundred blocks
Little bastard boy, basking on tops
[Verse 7]
Ah, fuck up this world
Let's fuck up this world (Uh)
Let's fuck up the world
Let's fuck up this world
Fuck up the, uh
[Verse 8]
Sippin' D'usse, boy, this ain't your Daddy's 'nac
He in the Cadillac, me I'm in the Maybach
This ain't grey sweat suits and white tube socks
This is black leather pants and a pair of Stance
Socks is my synopsis, it's clear
Got strip clubs feelin' like Oxford, I swear
Teacher, teacher, I'm tryin' to un-teach ya
All that shit they taught you that got you all in the bleachers
When you front row at the Knick game, those the Spike Lee's
You front row everywhere, you in the H.O.V.'s
Jordan 1's and Dungarees, and that's just the half of my warpath
Make a million, 'nother million
Let my **** make a million
Till we all check a billion, shit, it's just the way I'm feeling
We have yet to see a ceiling, we just top what we top
'Cause the bars don't struggle when the struggle don't stop, uh
[Verse 9]
Let's fuck up this world
Let's fuck up this world
Let's fuck up the world
Let's fuck up the world
It's our time now
Let's fuck up the world
Fuck up this world
