Greatness Lyrics - Derek Minor

I came from the bottom of the bottom of the bottom 

Southside Yaytown, they used to move work next to mi casa 

Mama met the Lord and deep inside she started changing 

Moved us to the South so we would have a chance to make it out 

I grew up watching her break her back to put food on our table 

Worked herself until she almost died, was barely able 

It's where I get my work ethic from 

She said, "I see what you been building, please be humble son" 

She know just where we came from 

They not on tv where we came from 

They don't win no trophies where we came from 

From the bottom of the bottom 

From the bottom of the bottom 

I can't let my self be blinded by these stage lights 

Scared I'll lose myself in all the hype, call that stage fright 

Flying coast to coast and eating things that I can't pronounce 

The homes I grew up in combined fit in where I'm sleeping now 

That ain't why I started, this was passion on the page 

Told the Lord, I do this till I die, just for his name 

Maybe, that's why I'm so focused I don't play no games 

If we made off in his image, that must mean we great 

If you know where I came from 

Said we ain't have no value where I came from 

God was right there where we came from 

Even on the bottom of the bottom 

On the bottom of the bottom 

This is greatness

They wanna know where I be at, my bad, sorry for the wait 

I had to re-up with E-1 and make sure the paperwork is straight 

Signed the dotted line, got a check, now everything is great 

Now, it's time to get back talking 

God in everything you saying 

D-boys moving work, and I'm praying for em' cuz' they kin to me 

I know ex-goons preach now, but they still rocking they gold teeth 

People telling me to change up 

I'm too real, they can bite me 

With content like da-da, probably never fit in this industry 

Okay, I reflect greatness 

RMG the movement, I ain't gotta say this 

You've been patient, now it's time to break out the cage 

We can all get back to the basics 

When they know the reason that I'm preaching is Jesus 

Alive for him and I'm still killing the beat 

It's the glory up inside of us that I'm affecting 

That's the reason what you're witnessing is excellence 

It's greatness

Okay, while we here and I got the mic 

Let me go ahead and get some things straight 

Reach Records, that's they business, don't ask me for no update 

Crae' still my dawg, wish him well 

I just talked to him last Monday 

But, it's RMG till I D-I-E, you can put that on my grave 

I had to realize what's inside of me 

For all of the people that lied to me 

For all of the people that said I would fall off 

Oh boy, what a time to be alive 

I wrote this for everyone feel like they counted out 

You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself 

It's time to be who I am now
