When you know you can beat the supposed "best" because you're really "number one."

NUMBER ONE

Music and Lyrics - Tuck Neilson

BMI

Your fame has spread
And though others dread
The rep that you have made
You've risen fast
But that may not last
The brightest stars all fade
Your sweat and tears
Have conquered fears
That beat your prior foes
Though now you're high
You can't always fly
What comes someday will go

You ran into Number One
You ran into Number One
Number One

With all you have
You think you're bad
But you overprice your worth
You may be good
But it's understood
That now you're on my turf
So look around
You can hear the sound
Of the people on my side
You're fadin' fast
Your time is past
Get smart and hide
