The master, number one, hot like the burning sun.
Every generation has one who feels the music like none before has
Every done before.
And that's what makes them the master, the number one, hot.
Every new generation on the scene says
Hey we're the greatest there has ever been.
But there's a long way to go before you prove that status
Time is a leveler, time is what makes makes you
Time separates the few from the many
Will your music endure, will it be listened to for centuries
If it's meant to be then the people will agree
That you've given them something to set them free.
If you have something special that resonates
If you have something meaningful to communicate
If you have a presence that never goes away
Then you are considered one of the greats
If you can change the way people think about music
If you can influence the way they write, sing or move to it
Then you have achieved the level of master, number one
Worldwide music ambassador.
