The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Melt me down
Into big black armor
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
And the dregs of my bed, and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For the later parade
Later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Melt me down (2x)
Melt me down (3x)
Melt me down
