Only the Best - Ursa Major

I’m the best, I’m the best, I never promised you less

Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end

With the best, I’m the best, you never expected less

Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

Lauryn in my speakers, got hills I need to climb

There’s dreams I need to reach for, scared of peaking in my mind

I was never one for peeking, I love a good surprise

But the older you tend to get, the less likely you’ll liked it

Its a fight, its a struggle, yea I’m talking 'bout the suburbs

Pulled the crab up out the barrel, but only to make him supper

They wanna see me suffer, friends becoming fewer

They pretend they never knew ya' when they learn you only human

Finding less names in my will, the more that I acquire

Its like they ain’t like the truth so they turned me to a liar

Tired of preaching to a choir who got their own sermons they writing

Can’t save everyone these last days, but I can let 'em read my bible

Im a survivor, smiler, always seen the brighter side of

Dark days like eclipses, 'cuz I witnessed the sun rise up

Ursa, el mejor, stamps on my passport

What you think I rap for, just to push a Rav4?

I’m the best, I’m the best, I never promised you less

Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end

With the best, I’m the best, you never expected less

Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

I climbed the mountain, the descent is just as strenuous

It seem sit make 'em madder when you EXACTLY who you said you is

Stayed away from fame’s allure, had the juice and hated it

So I stay like hair in 90's movies, low cut faded

Only child problems, used to bein' the favorite

In a genre where, self is hard to find like parking in Beijing

Does anything even phase him?

Phasers set to stun

The way he move is Infamous, like the Second Son

I mean, like the setting sun, my style is set in stone

Don’t wanna be the best who never won like I played for Jerry Sloan

Oh you ain’t low, I was told to keep my grass cut

But who cares?

These snakes won’t make it thru the winter!

I made it thru my wedding with, barely any hiccup

But I know kids who wouldn’t graduate if I ain’t write their papers

Oh shots fired, don’t be Crispus Attucks

Why would we put your hands up if they still gonna shot at us?

I’m the best, I’m the best, I never promised you less

Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end

With the best, I’m the best, you never expected less

Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge

Its the blind leading the blind, I wanna be the Mos Def

So I stopped working on the writing just to learn some ASL

Praying to a savior who prays you save your self

Fendin' off some vicious predators who preying on my flesh

Where the wild things are, thats where my childhood went

Put that sword back in the stone, stay a kid young link

And there ain’t no ocarina, to pacify my demeanor

Why are standards so diminished for ebony entertainers

You make me sign a contract, pretend you do me a favor?

You can never own my thoughts, Ursa never sign a major!

If you chase the paper, you on trails already paved

And if you only know what they teach you, you’ll never be a maven

There ain’t no safe haven, you dead if you don’t progress

Its not enough when I say it, but I know that I’m the best

Im the best

(I know, I know)

Man tell 'em that I’m the best

I’m the best, I’m the best, I never promised you less

Put your hands in the air if you riding to the end

With the best, I’m the best, you never expected less

Put your hand over your chest if you reciting the pledge
