Booth - Great Lyrics

There was a time
Where I thought I'd be the best
Laying out a rhyme
To a feeling that I gotta get off my step
Never settle for less
So I could take it to another level
That might scare you
A crack in a structure otherwise well put-together
Because that's where I fit
In my niche
You're never gonna hear the half of it
Take me back to my room
And tell me
"This is where failure lives, where failure lives"
And I'll say
"What gives, motherf*cker? What gives?"
With my heart on my wrist, covered with my fist
So I can clench my world between my knuckles
And marvel at the way it crumbles
Now you know
And if you don't
Then take a note, read it slow
Or you'll never know where I'm gonna take you
You could take me down a notch
But you wouldn't like what I'd have to lose
Oh baby you could take it, take it all
If that's what you'd like to choose
So get it straight, don't get it twisted
You want my shot? You wanna bend my vision?
Well it's my choice, it's my decision, it's my way
I just wanna be great
I wish I knew how to relax
And I wish I knew all the ways to say
All the things I think
Without feeling like I ain't doing the words justice
But I trust this
And I embrace redundant
But I suck at showing compassion
Unless I'm delved deep into my passion
Now you know
And I don't want it to reflect what I show
And if I need more
Maybe I'll grow out of it
Take me down a notch
But you wouldn't like what I'd have to lose
Oh baby you could take it, take it all
If that's what you'd like to choose
So get it straight, don't get it twisted
You want my shot? You wanna bend my vision?
Well it's my choice, it's my decision, it's my way
I just wanna be great
I think it's cool to stand idly by
Watching you surprised
Gleaming your eyes
Impressed by this masterpiece I'm making
But I feel like you won't gather the heights I'm reaching
Not because you're dumb
But because I sneak right by the feeling
I don't think I'm much better than nothing
But I know someday I'll be something
So you can take my record and you can claim it or maim it
But it won't stop my feeling that I did it my way
You could take me down a notch
But you wouldn't like what I'd have to lose
Oh baby you could take it, take it all
If that's what you'd like to choose
So get it straight, don't get it twisted
You want my shot? You wanna bend my vision?
Well it's my choice, it's my decision, it's my way
I just wanna be great
