Lyrics Greater Than I - Michael Nuguid

Under the surface carries more weight than you think
That's how it be
I know me some things just ain't how it seems
I seen me some things that I wish I'd delete (That's life)
Offers us things it don't matter if we like it or not
No matter how many breaks we gon take
The reality's life is not gonna stop
Yeah life won't stop woo!
Been spewin' from the chest like an alien's gon pop out
Been chasin' for a while yeah it's obvious that my doubts
Come around once in a while but askin' myself
Why would I stop now uh? (Why would I stop!)
Off of the media it's either productive or toxic
Good time or costs ya
So many look like the lobster
But easily cooked with the mind of a fetus
Where is your logic? (Aye)

Mindin' my business but stay aware I got eyes in the back of my head
A lot of y'all would jack it to women who'd prolly be cold
If you met her in bed then use you
Instantly move on to the next congrats it's checked off your list
But wonder what's next the cycle remains
Then you're back to square one down bad again
An issue we face as men (Yeah)
Hurt those I love it might be the last day you have
Fam came from nothing it's up to me to achieve
I don't expect you to understand
They pushed me high to get over
Parents worked two jobs keepin' a roof, over my head
And helped fulfill any dream that I had
Meanwhile a lot of y'all in the world don't know how to act (For real)
Haven't been smacked enough
Much more beyond than I was
Focused on my future relyin' on me catchin' up
I ain't backin' up I know the hate is inside this package the
Truth is, there is no way I can be ready for it
But keep my head down like Cena in '06 a champion treat it like ambiance
And walk out the same or even stronger

Check it
False claims and false reports that spread like disease through word of mouth
These reporters fly like a seagull and give us a scoop for the clout
The variety in the fake is insane what a shame about lies
That they place in our brain and we off the bait
But it's poison they gave it continues to spread the more that we eat off the plate
Powdered up lyrics they sell you can chew on
But in the future it tax you
Some of you call 'em the greatest based off their looks
More than their raps do
Some of you don't pay attention
But easily blinded by the women throwin' it back (Yo did you catch that?)
You use 'em or they use you that by itself is what I call a cash grab
Prolly how labels do see some only see some to fill up their pockets
Top of the chain sometimes got a deceitful plan if I'm bein' honest
Some of 'em see you as dollar signs and in my mind it's hectic
Money talks I know but I'd rather
Put my true value and worth right next to it, beside it

So much to prove so much to earn
So many careers to turn into urns
So much to lose so much to learn
So many things to learn than just words
I feed off the hurt but relay it right back to these tracks when I work
I feed off the energy into my energy
Don't test me when I feel like Ima go beserk
Follow my heart more than my head
Trust in my gut than opinions instead
I, wasn't supposed to be alive
Almost in a miscarriage 20 years later I'm doin' just fine
Doin' just fine if that doesn't say anything as to why
I'm meant to be the one as to why
I'm here to do somethin', greater than I (Yeah)
Yeah
Greater than I
Here to do somethin', greater than I woo!
Yeah
Meant to be the one
As to why I'm here to do somethin', greater than I!
