"Too Great" lyrics
(Alexander The Great Rap)
(feat. McGwire)
Oh me, oh my
They keep in line
They'd bleed and die (yeah, hah)
They see me rise (ay, ay, yuh)
Height of society (uh)
Another battle they gon' write in their diaries (yeah)
It don't matter 'cause I like them describing me
Too Great, any verse that I pen bring fire like my library
Uh, you a checkbox, not a rivalry (damn)
Better get lost if you fighting me (damn)
Now the vests off if you're tryna lead
Plans filled with holes like the body of Darius be (haha)
A-grade Aristotle would know (ay, ay)
Top of the show, cut like a knot in the rope (ay, ay)
Rocking the boat, chopping them off at the coast, I'mma (ay)
Big stepper like Colossus of Rhodes, I'mma (ay, ay)
Trendsetter, ask Napoleon or Ceasar, like (ay)
Get better, I'm more popular than Jesus Christ
Whenever I be roaming, I gon' seize what's mine
World Wonder I'm a Pyramids of Giza type
They see my armies, they brace for the tide
Rise up to harm me, they can't cross the line, too late
Move across your city, and it turn to my estate
People fear the name (oh)
Oh me, oh my
Way too much on my plate, OK
They keep in line
Holding too strong, won't break, OK
They'd bleed and die
Yeah, they know nobody can take my place
They see me rise
Ooh, 'cause I'm just too Great
They say too Great, bring their family to watch
Top grade, food chain, what's a Persian to a God?
My fame new age, I be painting them in bronze
Got the phalanx moving iron, and I'm taking what I want
Ay, son of Zeus they speak of
See the δύναμις the Greeks got
Ay, learning all your weak spots
I make love and war like Eros
Ay, brandish their daggers
And I be stacking mausoleums like it's Halicarnassus
They always telling me my business in my plans and my matters
But I've been making what I'm building off, my Tabula Rasa
'Cause I'mma character actor, and I be playing every part and every land that I capture
They call me pharaoh and a king, I got the statutes and valour
They making money of my name like every man's a reactor
'Cause they can't do it like the Great, they just a fan of the rapper
They see my armies, they brace for the tide
Rise up to harm me, they can't cross the line, too late
Move across your city, and it turn to my estate
People fear the name (oh)
Oh me, oh my
Way too much on my plate, OK
They keep in line
Holding too strong, won't break, OK
They'd bleed and die
Yeah, they know nobody can take my place
They see me rise
Ooh, 'cause I'm just too Great
Ay, ay, I'm Greater, oh me, oh my
Wanna say I'm not, but they act like haters
They keep in line
Try to claim my spot, but they ain't got no status
They'd bleed and die
Yeah, better pray to God, I don't talk to traitors, nah
They see me rise
Take your shot, but just know I'm Greater
They keep in line
They'd bleed and die (yeah, hah)
They see me rise (ay, ay, yuh)
Height of society (uh)
Another battle they gon' write in their diaries (yeah)
It don't matter 'cause I like them describing me
Too Great, any verse that I pen bring fire like my library
Uh, you a checkbox, not a rivalry (damn)
Better get lost if you fighting me (damn)
