[Intro: Muhammad Ali]
And I’m better now than I was when you saw that twenty-two-year-old undeveloped kid running from Sonny Liston
I’m experienced now, professional, jaw’s been broke, been lost
Knocked down a couple times, bad
Been chopping trees, I done something new for this fight
I done wrastled with an alligator, that’s right
I have wrastled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale
I done handcuffed lightning, throwed thunder in jail, that’s bad
Bad dude, bad, fast, fast
I know you got him picked, but the man’s in trouble
I’ma show you how great I am

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
Ahem, you are now rocking with the greatest, n!gga
I’m the best, pound for pound, better weigh these n!ggas
They bite my style like some crocodiles and gators, n!gga
Huh, you are now locked in with the greatest, n!gga
I treat the boot like a boxing ring in Vegas, n!gga
I speak the truth, my philosophy is greater, n!gga
Don’t eat the fruit without acknowledging the labor, n!gga
Weezy baby, n!gga, rocking since the cradle, n!gga
Homey box office, HBO, cable, n!gga
I’m unstable, n!gga, at the dinner table, n!gga
All I eat is rappers, I might have to Flavor Flav a n!gga
That b!tch ate a n!gga, meat and potatoes, n!gga
If she want some head, I’ma decapitate a n!gga
Evaporate a n!gga, eradicate a n!gga
Slap you in your face like I’m playing patty-cake, my n!gga
Eat the cake, never beat a woman for Ms. Cita’s sake
I beat the case, beat some pu*sy up and then delete, erase
Headshots from a hundred feet away, but your feet okay
Put you six feet away

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain’t gotta say this all the time, n!gga
They know I’m the greatest of all time, n!gga, yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, uh

So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, uh
If you love that n!gga, better blame that n!gga, uh
I’m up there, n!gga, where you ain’t at, n!gga, yeah
Fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, girl
Don’t fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga
She say, “Wayne that n!gga”

[Interlude: Muhammad Ali & Lil Wayne]
Man’s in trouble, I’ma show you how great I am
Yeah, oh

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
I ain’t gotta say this every time, though
I’ma make a statement every time, though, ovation and the encore
I be looking in my kids’ faces, where the time go?
They know I’m amazing and they moms know
You know I’ma slay it every time, though
You know I ain’t playing, n!gga, I’m coach
You know that I’m fly, but never fly coach
You know I ain’t paying for your time, ho
This is not a bakery, don’t ask me for no cake and shut your pie hole
Every day, I’m waking up with odd hoes, waking up in grind mode
Standing on business like a base, Barry Bonds toes
You know that I’m safe wherever I go
You know I’m an ape in every Congo
You know I’m a freight train to a rhino
Bust a n!gga grape like I’m a wine-o
Barrel make the Draco look like Gonzo
I ain’t gotta say this to remind folks
They know I’m the greatest, even God know

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain’t gotta say this all the time, n!gga
They know I’m the greatest of all time, n!gga (N!gga), yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga (Fu*k that n!gga), uh
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga (Fu*k that n!gga), uh
If you love that n!gga, better blame that n!gga (Yeah, yeah), uh
I’m up there, n!gga, where you ain’t at, n!gga (Yeah, yeah), yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, girl
Don’t fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga
She say, “Wayne that n!gga”

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Yeah, I ain’t gotta say this all the time, n!gga
They know I’m the greatest of all time, n!gga
I’m like what MJ is to LeBron, n!gga
Brady in his prime, n!gga
I’m like Tom Brady at forty-five, n!gga
I ain’t even debating on retiring, n!gga
You could get the shady .45, n!gga
Born in the ’80s, that’s the greatest of all times, n!gga
You know how us gators are, we grind, n!gga
Great like Nick Saban, Roll Tide, n!gga
I’m like Coach Prime, n!gga
Come from poor times, n!gga, now we pour Dom, n!gga
Life is a beach, don’t push me to the shoreline, n!gga
Flow like coc*ine, I give you some more lines
N!ggas know they don’t wan’ see me like a sight for sore eyes, n!gga
Your flow fine, n!gga, mine’s the best kind
N!ggas know they ain’t fu*king with my bars like ex-cons, n!gga
Yeah, it’s flex time, n!gga
Look in the mirror and say “Carter” six times, n!gga
Big time, n!gga, no tick tock, just b0mbs, n!gga

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
I ain’t gotta say this all the time, n!gga
They know I’m the greatest of all time, n!gga, yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, uh, yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, uh, yeah
If you love that n!gga, better blame that n!gga, uh, yeah
I’m up there, n!gga, where you ain’t at, n!gga, yeah
So fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga, girl
Don’t fu*k that n!gga if I ain’t that n!gga
She say, “Wayne that n!gga,” the greatest
