In the deeply introspective track, Jessie Reyez explores her ambitions and the existential questions that accompany them. The song is a reflection of her desire for greatness and financial success, but she also acknowledges that these material achievements are meaningless without love and trust. She contemplates life's big questions - what is life? What is love? What is trust? - indicating a search for deeper meaning beyond fame and fortune. The recurring line "Everything is nothing without you" suggests that personal relationships and emotional connections are ultimately what give life value. Reyez's lyrics convey a universal struggle between ambition and the need for human connection, underlining the importance of balance in pursuing one's dreams.
Great One
Lyrics
I wanna be a great one
I wanna be a great one
I wanna make a million dollars
Making all my days count
Clowning with my day ones
Before, I hid the grey sun
Louis V, don't chase none
I wanna make a billion dollars
Bring it to my pops
Say, "Daddy what you prayed for"
What is life? What is love?
What are lies? What is trust?
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
What is life? What is love?
What are lies? What is trust?
What is everything?
And everything is nothing without you
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (nothing, nothing, nothing)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (everything is nothing without you)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (without you)
Ooh-ooh (without you)
Ooh-ooh
Running, I'm running
I'm running outta patience
I wanna be a great one (I wanna be a great one)
And when the spirit calls me
I wanna throw my hands up
Ready to be saved, yeah
And when my day's done
I hope I die faded
When they take me way up
I hope I fly faded
What is life? What is love? (Tell me, tell me, tell)
What is time? What is choice? (I don't know)
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
What is life? What is love?
I hope I am enough (I hope I am enough, oh)
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
Ooh-ooh (nothing without)
Ooh-ooh (nothing without you)
Ooh-ooh (nothing without you)
Ooh-ooh (everything is nothing without you)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
