[Intro]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Yeah, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
[Verse 1: Lexii Alijai]
Look
Well Lil Lexii ain't so little no more
Remember days as point guards, now she delivering flows
Crunch time, putting three's up with a minute to go
And everybody in the stands say she a winner fasho'
I got some family, I ain't talked to in a minute
I need to get around and spend the time while you still livin'
You still stay in that building? That one I never liked?
The one I used to race to with my cousins on our bikes
When we would always stay the night
And used to talk about our life
Wish we had everything nice
Like all the diamonds and the ice
I think that made me who I am
Think that's probably what it is
From mindsets to being kids, and dreaming about becoming rich
Maybe cause we never had it, but you always made it work
Used to hustle in the dirt, and looking back it made me hurt
Think that that's what made me strong, you can't tell me that
I'm wrong
Stayed with you for two years, and got took away from my mom
I'm sorry
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Lexii Alijai]
Eighteen baby, feelin' like a superstar
Imagine hearing everyday you gon' go super far
Falling in your feelings and you don't know who to call
Wishing for it ain't enough, so fuck your shooting star
Itty Bity but she tryna do it super large
I been the type to pay close attention to whose involved
Long as they playin' by my rules, and they know whose the boss
And if you fuck it up that's on you, boy you loosin' sauce
The coldest you ever met, Nigga you know it too
So fucking up is like pouring salt on your open wound
That loyalty word never works unless you're showing proof
Just ride with me baby, promise we'll be blowin' soon
I know it's true, and that's probably why I'm here
Palms itching, money comin', I can smell it in the air
I'm just glad he gave me words to speak to a generation
It's hustle time, wheels up, throne is mine for the taking
Yeah
(Phone Call Audio)
[Verse 3: Lexii Alijai]
At least I answer when you need me, just to tell you I'm here
When conversating get frustrating, I always gave you my ear
Even when I'm feeling clouded and your words ain't as clear
I always gave you respect because I knew that you care
Like Hov told me it's time to open the market up
The music tough, so I know that my bars is hard enough
Asking myself, Is the business plan even smart enough?
Do I got everything I need to even start it up?
You focus on the opposite but is the vision clear?
Cause you start settling for less, that shit'll disappear
Lil Lexii on the stage and she so insecure
But that's a secret side of me that you might never hear
A lil bit I like to keep to myself
Demons deep inside of me, I like to keep on my shelf
Yeah, we're diving deep in the wealth
The stories of being big, I'd like to see for myself
[Outro]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Yeah, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
