Lyrics:

My mother never told me that life would be this hard
Believe me when I tell you baby boy
I learned that shit on the job
I gave 100% and that wasn’t enough
200% and they still wouldn’t budge
They ain’t got a number yet for what I had to give up
Worked 5 times as hard to get half as much
But I rose to the occasion
Because I chose to be among the great ones
I’m the best (I’m the best)
I’m the best (I’m best)
Funky fresh in the flesh
Never settle for less
I’m the best
I’m the best (I’m the best)
I’m the best (I’m best)
Funky fresh in the flesh
Never settle for less
I’m the best
Everybody in the building
I only want to see you have a good time
Everybody in the building

Now I don’t care what they say about me
Because rules were meant to be broken
That’s why the world can’t forget about me
Because rules were meant to be broken
They say
Will you ever change
Oh no
Stay in your lane
On no
Shaking up the game
Oh yeah
Because rules were meant to be broken
I heard some people say some things to me
When I was a little kid
They would always try to get me to listen
And I’m so happy I never did
They said I’d never be shit
Never be rich, never be that, I’ll never be this
I’ll never be living the life I envisioned that I would live
But look at me now I’m so blessed, I’m so proud
I’m so crisp, I’m so loud, I’m so fresh and I love it
Imagine those times I was lost and now I’m found
Told myself I would rise, here I is, I’ve done it
What do you think of those people that doubted me
Thought I would be nothing and counted me out
How do you think they reacted about me
Finally making it out of the crowd
Ya’ll molded, ya’ll crunchy, scratch that neck
Talk to the hand
I’m going
I’m hustling
I’m still the man

But I rose to the occasion
Because I chose to be among the great ones
I’m the best (I’m the best)
I’m the best (I’m best)
Funky fresh in the flesh
Never settle for less
I’m the best
I’m the best (I’m the best)
I’m the best (I’m best)
Funky fresh in the flesh
Never settle for less
I’m the best
Everybody in the building
I only want to see you have a good time
Everybody in the building
