I'm the Best Lyrics

It was back in '07 did a couple of tapes
Did a couple DVD's made a couple mistakes
Didn't know what I was doing, but I put on a cape
Now it's which World Tour should I go on and take
See you told me I would lose but I won
I might cop a million Jimmy Choo's just for fun
'Cause bitches couldn't take what was in me
Australia, Sydney
Might run up in Disney, out in L.A. with Lindsey
Got the eye of the tiger, the lion of Judah
Now it's me in my time, it's just me in my prime
Everything I tried to teach 'em, they gon' see it in time
Tell them bitches get a stick, I'm done leadin' the blind
Got two shows tonight, that's Brooklyn and Dallas (Dallas)
Then a private party at the Buckingham palace (palace)
Which means I gotta fly like a movie no commercial
That's Young Money, Cash Money, yeah, I'm Universal

I hear they comin' for me
Because the top is lonely
What the fuck they gon' say?
What the fuck they gon' say?
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best, best, best, best
I'm the best, best, best, best
I'm the best

I remember when I couldn't buy my mother a couch
Now I'm sittin' at the closin' bought my mother a house
You could never understand why I grind like I do
Mikiyah and Gulani why I grind like I do
'C-c-cause even when my daddy was on crack, I was cracked
Now the whole album crack you ain't gotta skip a track
I ain't gotta get a plaque, I ain't gotta get awards
I just walk up out the door, all the girls will applaud
All the girls will commend, as long as they understand
That I'm fighting for the girls, that never thought they could win
'Cause before they could begin you told 'em it was the end
But I am here to reverse the curse that they live in
Got two bones to pick, I'ma only choose one (one)
You might get addressed on the second album
Which means you can breath, tell that motherfucker say so
To all my bad bitches, I can see your halo

I hear they comin' for me
Because the top is lonely
What the fuck they gon' say?
What the fuck they gon' say?
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best, best, best, best
I'm the best, best, best, best
I'm the best

Ah, it's okay
It's okay, long as you know
Long as you know
Long as you motherfuckers know
I'm the best, best, best, best

I hear they comin' for me (I hope they're comin' for me)
Because the top is lonely ('cause the top is lonely)
What the fuck they gon' say? (What they gon' say?)
What the fuck they gon' say? (What they gon' say?)
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best bitch doin' it, doin' it
I'm the best, best, best, best (I'm the best)
I'm the best, best, best, best (I'm the best)
I'm the best
