Willing to Die for It lyrics

[Intro: Will Smith]

Greatness is not this

Wonderful, esoteric, illusive

God-like feature that only the

Special among us will ever taste

You know, it's something that truly exists

In all of us, and

I'm willing to die for it

[Verse: Stract]

Yeah

I am the visionary, the provision of the vision

With the wisdom and the rhythym

Spitting written exorcisms

I'm imprisoned by my demons

But ambition's my religion

Scribbling syllables and rhymes from time to time

So I can rid them of my mind

My life is on the line but I just crossed it

Willing to die to reach the top

Until I drop into my coffin

I'm a product of the system

Reincarnate of a prophet

I deposit all my words in proper causes

Not my wallet

To be honest, you and me have

Got a lot in common

I wrote these songs for you

So don't you let them be forgotten

If the man upstairs thought of a plan or even

Cares for us

I wonder if he'll hear our prayers or ignore us

Will circumstances that the system set for me

Lead to victory or be dismissed by history

After all, I think that we should let the past be

And you should know this for the future because

You're the past me
