Текст песни Be Great - Mel

And I ain't playing

I told them, don't get too comfy
They didn't listen
You against me is a joke
It's no winning
If the connect is bad
Some niggas start roaming
Instead of being yourself
These niggas, out cloning
And these snakes hold tighter
Than your true love
So keep a grip, plus a mask
And a Nike glove
I say a prayer, every night
Before I rest my head
Another prayer when I awake
Before I move ahead
That sleep, hit different
When your health is up
When your credit and your bread
Steady stacking up
The pieces to your puzzle
Ain't matching up
And the stories niggas tell
Ain't adding up
As long as I'm alive
I'm a stand my ground
And whatever life throws
I ain't backing down
It's always checkmate
While I'm above ground
And I ain't lacking
Cause I'm always ten toes down

I'm just tryna survive
And be great, be great
Stay on top of my grind
And elevate, elevate
You gotta hustle to survive
I'm tryna be great
I'll do whatever to survive
I'm tryna be great

I'm just tryna survive
And be great, be great
Stay on top of my grind
And elevate, elevate
You gotta hustle to survive
I'm tryna be great
I'll do whatever to survive
I'm tryna be great

Fuck all the negative vibes
And bad energy
Had to clip a few niggas off
They ain't to real to me
Dap it up, wit my bros
I consider loyal
The foundation, it was all
Built from the soil
When niggas do favors
We don't talk about it
We don't throw it in your face
Or make post about it
And the truth, is in his jokes
But he laugh about it
Your day one wasn't loyal
He never cared about it
We need more real men
Exclude the actors
Men guiding their sons
Is a major factor
You still stuck on that page
I'm on a different chapter
Some of y'all in a daze
I'm on another stature
I'm Pescatarian now
But still will cook beef
Lay these animals down
And bring your fam grief
I was that nigga then
And I'm that nigga now
If it's about getting money
I'm fucking hound

I'm just tryna survive
And be great, be great
Stay on top of my grind
And elevate, elevate
You gotta hustle to survive
I'm tryna be great
I'll do whatever to survive
I'm tryna be great

I'm just tryna survive
And be great, be great
Stay on top of my grind
And elevate, elevate
You gotta hustle to survive
I'm tryna be great
I'll do whatever to survive
I'm tryna be great
