Marie
J. Bruno Lyrics

Do have what it takes to be the greatest?
Do you possess the necessary qualities to achieve greatness?

I think you do
I believe that you do

Yuh, ayo starting out
Yeah, hey, when I was just beginning

I didn't know what I was doing
I was unsure of my actions

But I just knew
But I had a strong intuition

This is what I wanna be pursuing
That this is the path I wanted to follow

You can't enjoy a win
You cannot fully appreciate a victory

Without feeling the pain of losing
Without experiencing the hardship and disappointment of failure

I just know I gotta keep my head up
I understand that I must remain positive

And keep on moving
And continue pushing forward

Trial after trial
One challenge after another

This road kept getting harder
This journey became increasingly difficult

But I found ways to navigate
Nevertheless, I discovered methods to overcome obstacles

And now I work smarter
And now I employ more efficient strategies

You can tell I'm educated
You can perceive that I am knowledgeable

You can see that I'm dedicated
You can observe my commitment

To take this mic
To seize this opportunity as a musician

My arm will need to be amputated
I am completely devoted to this pursuit

Totally charismatic
Utterly charming

Setting the vibe wherever I go
Creating a positive atmosphere in every place I visit

Whenever I step on that stage
Every time I step onto the stage

The people already know
The audience is already aware

They're going for a ride
They are about to embark on an exciting journey

They're gonna witness a show
They are about to experience an amazing performance

Seeing what brought me up
Observing the factors that lifted me up

From an all time low
From the lowest point in my life

Married to the game
Fully committed to my career in the music industry

And this song is my vow
And this song serves as my promise

10 Years deep
After a decade of dedication

Still thinkin' back like wow
I still reflect on my journey with amazement

I'm a classy man
I present myself with sophistication

Ending each show with a bow
Concluding every performance with a respectful gesture

To the ones who told me to quit
To those who advised me to give up

Look at me now
Observe my current success

The hate that I recieved
The negativity and criticism I encountered

From becoming a rapper was massive
When I pursued a career as a rapper, it was extensive

So much aggression
There was an abundance of hostility

And a lot of it was passive
A significant portion was indirect

No one has looked me in the eyes
No one has directly confronted me

And said that I suck
And explicitly stated that I am untalented

Just a bunch of keyboard chickens
Just a group of cowardly individuals hiding behind their keyboards

Continuing to cluck
Continuing to spread their negative opinions

You see me out in public
You encounter me in public

Just to say and do nothin'
Merely to say and do nothing of substance

I'm 5 feet away from you
I am in close proximity to you

C'mon man do somethin'
Come on, take action

Very disappointing
Extremely disheartening

How these people talk a big game
How these people boast and brag

To find out they want no problems
Only to discover they do not seek confrontation

Man what a shame
What a disgrace

You make fun of me and my music
You mock me and my music

And continue to poke
And persist in taunting me

Just to tell me later on
Only to confess later

It was all a big joke
That it was all meant in jest

Keep testing me homie
Keep challenging me, my friend

I'm not someone to provoke
I am not one to be provoked

If you push me to my limit
If you push me to my breaking point

It's your man card I'll revoke
I will strip you of your masculinity

I've fought tooth and nail
I have fought relentlessly

Just to get where I'm at
To reach my current position

And you'll have to keep on fighting
And you will have to continue struggling

Just remember that
Always keep that in mind

And you can turn to your haters
And you can confidently face your detractors

And then hit 'em with a bow
And then triumphantly prove them wrong

Then stare at 'em
Gaze at them intensely

And say look at me now
And say, behold my current success

I'ma keep doing what I'm doing
I will continue pursuing my goals

And give it all that I got
And give it my utmost effort

I'll continue on my path
I will persist on my journey

Whether if I'm the greatest or not
Regardless of whether I become the greatest or not

In the words of Eminem
To quote Eminem

You only get one shot
You only have one opportunity

Man, I'm lost in the moment
Wow, I am completely absorbed in this experience

Trying to maintain my spot
Attempting to preserve my position

Never in my life
Never before in my life

Did I think I could headline a show
Did I imagine I would be the main act in a performance

That's a check in the box
That achievement is marked off my list

Now who knows where I can go?
Now, who knows the extent of my potential?

Anything is possible
Anything can be achieved

And I'm living proof of that
And I am living evidence of that fact

I've come a real long way
I have made significant progress

From being a sad and angry brat
From being a depressed and furious individual

Spreading my story
Sharing my experiences

And saving lives along the way
And positively impacting lives throughout my journey

Auburn's hometown hero
The hero of Auburn, my hometown

And his name is D.J.J
And his name is D.J.J

To all my haters
To all those who dislike me

Yes, I'm here to stay
Yes, I am here for the long haul

I treat this game like Destiny bruh
I approach this industry with the same dedication as the video game Destiny, my friend

And I came to play
And I came to compete

Definitely not the greatest
Certainly not the best

Just doing the best that I can
Just giving my utmost effort

That's how you tell the difference
That's how you distinguish

Between a boy and a man
Between an immature individual and a mature individual

Blocking out the bad vibes
Ignoring the negative energy

Like boom boom pow
Like the impact of a powerful explosion

I got one thing to say
I have one thing to express

Look at me now
Observe my current state

I can be the greatest
I have the potential to become the best

I can be the greatest of all time
I can become the greatest in history

I know that I can do it
I am confident that I can achieve it

You just gotta let me try
You simply need to give me a chance

Aight
Alright

Time to go be great
Now it's time to go and achieve greatness
