Greatness, such a great word
Everyone wishes to achieve it
But few get it, and if they ever get it then they regret it
The losers, you ask them what they'll give to the devil make it
Their very soul and being they would bet it
On the stakes for something that is just too hectic
Cause its true that the burden of greatness is too heavy to carry
Sometimes I dream so big that it becomes scary
Result of hard work and grind, or luck by tooth fairy
Its all the same I don't mind, as long as I can board that ferry
Of legends among men, but they are men too at the cemetery
What's the use of chasing after something near unattainable
Obsessing over it until you become incendiary and mentally unstable
Only for death and sleep to come and turn the tables
Cause immortality exists only in the fables
So save your cables fate, I'm not going to take that path to big states
The bones of a legend and a depraved man don't differ, its written in slate
Mediocre will be my life forever, even though I was born to hate
Living out the life that too many others have already lived up to this date.
