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
