About
Best in the World
Lyrics
Intro
The whole globe
Heavy crown
On the mantle
Verse 1
Concrete towers
Bow down to my vision
My throne built out of pure obsidian
They talked
I did
They stalled
I soared
Found some rhythm in the tectonic shift
God moving in the cracks of the sidewalk
Forty nights of rain couldn't drench the fur coat
The penthouse looks like a cockpit
I see everything below me like plastic chess pieces
Handful of sand
Handful of gold
Handful of stars
Walking on the lake while they try to find a boat
Luxury is a mental prison
I broke the locks with a diamond hammer
Chorus
Best in the world
Look at my face
Best in the world
Nobody else
Best in the world
Out of this space
Best in the world
Post-Chorus
Top floor
I can't hear you
Top floor
I don't fear you
Verse 2
Sample the thunder
Cut it into a four bar loop
Watch the gospel singers lift the roof off the coupe
The sky changed color because I willed it
Art isn't safe
Art is a blade
Art is a fire
Started with a prayer in a bedroom
Ending with a stadium chanting my secret name
Basquiat soul in a blacked out frame
Your heroes are just shadows
My flaws are displayed in 4K resolution
Rich man's problems are a symphony of vanity
Sell the brand then buy the mountain
I don't check the tags on the afterlife
Chorus
Best in the world
Look at my face
Best in the world
Nobody else
Best in the world
Out of this space
Best in the world
Bridge
Power is a lonely island
Gold leaf on the ocean water
Maybe I was chosen
Maybe I was built
Maybe I was forged in the furnace of the ego
Let it go
Let the world know
Let the truth show
Chorus
Best in the world
Look at my face
Best in the world
Nobody else
Best in the world
Out of this space
Best in the world
Outro
Who else is doing it
Zero competitors
The mountain peak is cold
But the view is mine
I see it all
Mine
Mine
Mine
