Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best - a rare Swedish that band that didn't get enough attention

Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best

This band was really under the radar back in 1997 when the album that featured this song came out and actually stunned me as I hadn't heard of them before also which was a big miss. If you ask me this song really did deserve to top a chart or two as it introduces a mix of rap and metal which was unseen at the time. The band has two albums previous to this one but this song really got them noticed to a certain extent as it had a music video that was worth watching. The band has released multiple albums after this one but none of them got the respect it deserved throughout the years. They are currently on a tour accross Europe with some other major bands. Give them a listen to see if you aggree with me :)

Lyrics

Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close
and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly close
I think you better listen cos I know who you are
and I think that you should treat me like a superstar
because I'm more than just a human I'm the gift to all of you
and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through
I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look
or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
puts me in the position of a good or a king
'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch
and I wouldn't say that I'm asking for too much
all you have to do is get down on your knees and prey
and I promise you the remedy is on its way
but you can never be like me so don't waste your time
because I reign supreme and my position is divine

What's wrong with being self possessed?
nobody satisfied with being second best
I've got the gift and I know that I'm blessed
and I've got to get it off my chest

I'm the biggest the best
better than the rest
better than the rest

I'm not afraid of competition cos I'm know that I'm best
and you haven't got a chance to even pass my little test
even if you wanted to you couldn't pay the price
there ain't no room for losers in my perfect paradise
'cos life is always based upon the weight of your success
so I'll make sure that I get the most and nothing less
if I love myself then everyone will love me too
and there's nothing you can do for me that I can't do

So welcome to my kingdom and enjoy your little stay
even if you can't afford it I'll still make you pay
so you better come and get it and enjoy it while you can
don't tell me that you're dumb enough to think I give a damn
I couldn't care less about what you achieve
and there's only one thing that you have to believe
the only thing important that you have to understand
is that no matter what you say it's still a god I really am
