Greatness

Greatness is a concept of a state of superiority affecting a person or object in a particular place or area. Greatness can also be attributed to individuals who possess a natural ability to be better than all others. An example of an expression of the concept in a qualified sense would be "Abraham Lincoln is the definition of greatness" or "Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the greatest wartime leaders". In the unqualified sense it might be stated "George Washington achieved greatness within his own lifetime", thus implying that "greatness" is a definite and identifiable quality. Application of the terms "great" and "greatness" is dependent on the perspective and subjective judgements of those who apply them. Whereas in some cases the perceived greatness of a … more »

So this is what it feels like, that sensation I've been chasin'
It felt a lot better back in my imagination
It tasted sweeter, it had an orange aura
Now I'm just hopin' the waiter don't screw up my order
At dinner with a girl I barely know
And I'm barely interested but she's rarin' to go
Red wine in her glass, the band's playing a ballad
And I'm not sure which fork I'm supposed to use with my salad
I guess I'm a little out of my element
Staring at her cleavage, God, I'm such a gentleman
Leave a big tip 'cause I'm scared of being called cheap
Back to the hotel with no plans to sleep
She calls me Layne, asks what it's like in Boston
Loves "The Red Effect" but prefers "All I Wanted"
Said she likes it with the lights down
Say goodbye to love and say hello to life right now

I don't wanna leave but I gotta go
And even if I stay, you probably won't
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight

Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
Bring me all the glory, take away the fear
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight

I have flashbacks of the corner that we grew up on
Stuntin' hard in my catholic school uniform
Low fade, bad grades, no self-esteem
But now I find myself livin' what I used to dream
It used to seem so far out of my reach
And it used to haunt me so bad that I couldn't sleep
Now I'm on the balcony of a penthouse in Manhattan
Wasn't like this before I dropped "Manhattan"
But rappin's changed my whole world
'Cause when I was young I was never cute enough for the light skin girls
Now they stop and say hi
Some of 'em really sweat me
And I diss 'em every song 'cause I'm just that petty
Mario Andretti, I can't slow down
Every night flashing lights, different girl, different town
Shouldn't feel this alone in a crowd
Say goodbye to normal and say hello to life right now

I don't wanna leave but I gotta go
And even if I stay, you probably won't
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight

Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
Bring me all the glory, take away the fear
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight

My little sister, Kathleen Patricia, went and put me in my place
She said, "You can't be good when your name's Great
Can't steal second with your foot still on first base
And you can't stand still if you wanna win the race"
I traded the watch my mother got me for X-mas
For a big face just for the sake of excess
And I'm sorry if that makes me sound shallow
But I was taught that's how you celebrate success
I'm hungry, eatin's all I ever think about
But life's bulimic, it'll chew you up and spit you out
Simms just had a little man, he looks just like him
And I find myself wantin' a life just like him
But right now it ain't in the picture
And I'm still adjustin' to life without Melissa
Consequences of what I write down
Say goodbye to Greg and say hello to life right now

I don't wanna leave but I gotta go
And even if I stay, you probably won't
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight

Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
Bring me all the glory, take away the fear
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
I'm sorry I got lost in the spotlight
