Lyrics

These certainly are the signs
Many men left to their own devices
Tell the story, leaving out the cries, it's
"Say me, say me"
Uh
Quite sucks to be the boss
The hunter should be licking at my balls
I'm lion
I'm king, mahn
Applause, I'm feelin' it
But, of course, at what is the cost?
I'm healing
I'm dealing with my heroes always shitting on my flaws
When I was younger you was all my goals
Now it's "Replace this"
There will never be another me, ****
So I figure I could carve my own path
Soaring
I'm an exhibit of my name
I'm Sammy, I'm Tembo, I'm Eve, I'm Sampa, I'm great
Remember when there's doubt, fear
You will have your voice in a song, in your ear
You can time travel, any month, any year
You're the greatest, yeah, I told you 'cause it's what you need to hear
Young Tembo be great
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Huh
Forever ever
And ever ever
And ever ever
And ever
I'ma be great
Huh
And you can never fail
Well, even when you fall you prevail
And you can never lessen with a lesson
And I've been pressing, sahn
It's not about impressing, I'm expressing
And every path I pave still stressing
Well, Simon said, "Stay in your lane"
If I stayed, I'd be playin' with them little rhyme books
Singing Tupac hooks
Still ignoring the fact that a queen named Lauryn
Said that you can conquer any hill
That's how I feel
That's how I feel
My vision, I'm impeccable
Every strength gained, every stage detectable
Looking to the future full vision, no spectacle
It's legacy, it's what I see, huh
Remember when there's doubt, fear
You will have your voice in a song, in your ear
You can time travel, any month, any year
You're the greatest, yeah, I told you 'cause it's what you need to hear
Yeah, I'm gonna be great
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Ah yeah, let me, let me
Mmm ahh yeah yeah
Mmm ahh yeah-ay
Let me, let me be great
Let me, let me be great
Mmm ahh yeah yeah
Mmm ahh yeah-ay
Let me, let me be great
Let me, let me be great
Mmm ahh yeah yeah
Mmm ahh yeah-ay
Let me, let me be great
Let me, let me be great
