“I’m Great” Drops Ft. Xay Hill, Big Fil x T-Strike

“I’m Great” is a gritty, faith-filled anthem declaring that true greatness comes only through Jesus’ grace.

With a vibey hook from Xay Hill, the track testifies how Jesus transforms brokenness into greatness. Big Fil raps about being lifted from the mud and cleaned by God’s grace, while T-Strike highlights the mustard seed of faith that moves believers from spiritual poverty to true riches in Christ. Together, their voices make “I’m Great” a bold declaration of victory through Jesus.

The song fuses raw street authenticity with biblical truths in a way that resonates with both believers and those outside the church. The imagery of “coming out the mud” reflects the universal struggle of rising from hardship, while pointing directly to God’s grace as the reason for victory. In a culture where greatness is often defined by ego, clout, or material success, “I’m Great” flips the narrative: greatness comes from Christ alone. It speaks directly to communities that know struggle firsthand, affirming that their value isn’t defined by haters, poverty, or mistakes—but by God’s transforming power.

Lyrics 

[Intro]
I’m boastin’ in the Lord real quick
Ay, came up out the valley and He told me that I’m straight
Said I need a way, He said I’m ’bout to make a way
And He done seen me down before, but now He picked me up with grace
I done seen Him be real good, that’s why I know that I’m great
I know I’m great, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Ay, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real, I’m great
Yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Yeah I’m great, man I’ve seen it—now I’m great

[Verse 1]
Look, came up out the mud, I was dingy dirty
Seen on TEN with my ends, faith was introverting
Boy was in perversion, down bad for real
Demons playing with my mind, told me blast the steel
But since I turned to His blood, I’ve been turnt up
Natural with the flow, some of you rappers just too permed up
Living on the edge, shorty, edges gon’ get burnt up
Only way to be great is by His grace, you better learn up

[Chorus]
Ay, came up out the valley and He told me that I’m straight
Said I need a way, He said I’m ’bout to make a way
And He done seen me down before, but now He picked me up with grace
I done seen Him be real good, that’s why I know that I’m great
I know I’m great, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Ay, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real, I’m great
Yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Yeah I’m great, man I’ve seen it—now I’m great

[Verse 2]
We really great for real, yeah they gon’ hate for real
But I ain’t trippin’ ’cause I’m straight for real
My dogs be asking, “Ay, what kind of faith that is?”
And I’m like, “Mustard seed,” but it’s so small some people don’t trust to see
Not trusting the city, not trusting the Father ’cause He the one said that you must believe
When it comes to sin, I don’t be in B-N-B
And I am not bothered like D-N-D
I rock with my dogs, they know how I’m coming
And most of the time it’s just me and me
I be solo moving dolo with my mind right
Too many voices trying to overtalk my Lord—that don’t sound right

[Chorus]
Came up out the valley and He told me that I’m straight
Said I need a way, He said I’m ’bout to make a way
And He done seen me down before, but now He picked me up with grace
I done seen Him be real good, that’s why I know that I’m great
I know I’m great, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Ay, yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real, I’m great
Yeah I’m great, yeah I’m great for real
Yeah I’m great, man I’ve seen it—now I’m great

[Outro]
Yeah I’m great, man I’ve seen it—now I’m great
