He wanted to be humble, he could've had a big home
He drove a lil' ol' car in his younger days
Tryna be humble, but they think you don't have nothin'
People don't respect you when you look like you don't have money
So I gotta buy diamonds, I gotta have a Rolls-Royce
I made it from so underrated ('Rated)
I'm moving like I'm undisputed
I am what happens when you keep on rapping and say, "I refuse to be muted"
I got the money, the cars, the weed in the jars, the bitch?s and jewelry
I got the r?al estate ventures, I got vacayin' adventures
Well, hold up, I'm switching the gear (Ah, yeah)
Follow me, follow me here (Right here)
I got the mayor, the congressman, senator, I got the governor's ear, yeah
I am Muhammad Ali ('Li)
Talking my talk in my prime (Prime)
Taking my taking my time, diamonds on wood, dipped with a dime
Dipped with a dime, my diamond and pinky ring squeezing her chocolate thigh
Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now
'Cause you are the greatest, the day that I make it
I swear that my haters, they gon' wanna die
Gon' wanna die
They gon' wanna die, they gon' wanna die
I had a dream, I fell from the sky and I went straight to hell
The Devil said, "Nah, you gotta go back 'cause you were too fire"
I am too raw, you niggas is playin' and I am a player
And this ain't a verse, you niggas is cursed, this wasn't just a prayer
Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now
'Cause you are the greatest, the day that I make it (Amen)
I swear that my haters, they gon' wanna die (Amen, amen)
Gon' wanna die (Amen, amen)
They gon' wanna die, they gon' wanna die
Lord, humble me now (Amen), Lord, humble me now (Amen, amen), Lord, humble me now (Amen)
I won at the Grammys for spitting my grammar, did that for Atlanta
Did that for Atlanta, bruh, swept up like a janitor
Got sent to the slammer, bruh
Treat me like an animal or some kind of Hannibal, vicious and cannibal
The Devil be doing you, right when you doing it, the Devil'll ruin you
Behind me Satan, I walk out the door with my head up in handcuffs with pride
'Cause all of my heroes wore handcuffs, the FBI shot some of them and they died
Betty and Coretta cried, Jacquelyn went into hidin'
I was sitting there in a room full of cops like Daniel was sitting with the lions
I had to quiet my mind, I prayed and I prayed, and I prayed
The liars were lyin' their lies, I kept on just keepin' my faith
The Devil put me on his whipping post
The Lord did not 'low him to whip me
So I went to sleep as free as can be and the next day, my son got a kidney
Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now
'Cause you are the greatest, the day that I make it
I swear that my haters, they gon' wanna die
Gon' wanna die
They gon' wanna die, they gon' wanna die
Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now (Now), Lord, humble me now
