[Intro: Stevie Wonder sample]
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
[Verse]
Greatest rapper alive's what I'm destined to be
I would never understand why they questionin' me
Ask me if I'm the best, I tell 'em definitely, the best I can be
And I do it consecutively
Talkin' to Jay, told me I should be next on that list
That nigga Nas, said it can't get much better than this
You thinkin' follows and likes'll make a record a hit
You thinkin' bottles on ice'll get respect for ya shit
Before Biggie was killin' 'em with them raw flows
Before Bone was meetin' us at Tha Crossroads
Before Suge was showin' out at award shows
I was breakin' night, tryin' to make it, only the Lord knows
This ain't a feelin' I'm tryin' to force, bro
It's just a feelin' I can't ignore, yo
Remember them 5 mics at The Source though?
I been a legend before they took me to court though
Since day one I been givin' you all I had
Since buttin' heads with Joe and freestylin' with Fab
Since breakin' up with Hitch and sellin' drugs on the Ave
I fell in love with the craft, a felon thug with a past
At last, everything that I worked hard for
Is worth more than what's sittin' in my garage door
Is worth more than a verse that I had to charge for
I went from hardcore to the greatest art form
Notice the skills that I demonstrated
And changed the minds of the biggest haters
My friends said, "Don't forget us when you get big and famous"
I said, "Would you remember me if I didn't make it?"
These three words I would die for
Greatest rapper alive is what I strive for
While others chase the money, bitches and limelight
I'm in the studio makin' sure every rhyme tight
Verse here, 'nother verse there
A crazy metaphor that I dropped on the 3rd snare
I'm tryin' to get it right, makin' sure that the words clear
'Cause, if they don't get it, I swear is my worse fear
Yeah, I know it seem simple
The mind is so sacred, I'm holdin' onto my temple
And I can see the hatred you holdin' onto is mental
You people gotta face it, I'm lacin' this instrumental
Block, let it breathe on 'em
God bless 'em, but I ain't sneeze on 'em
How you measure them three words?
Greatest rapper alive, you think I never deserved?
Yeah, let's go, how you measure them three words?
Greatest rapper alive, this nigga must got some nerve
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
