Greener Pastures

(album: High Expectations - 2023)

Every drop yeah I'm stacking wins
Name's known down the block yeah it's starting to trend
On my way up the ladder
You can see my ascend
Paths bright I can't really see the end
Now everybody acting like they know me
Talking back in high school
They was a homie
They say they down yeah but they never show me
Couple months later
Sean man, can you lend me some money? Fuck no
I don't really got time to stress
I've been making moves playing chess
Artists in my city aren't a threat
Everybody knows that I'm what's on next
I don't give a fuck about where I come from
Only focused on the future not what I have done
Waiting for my moment now I'm here you're gone
I was handed the baton y'all know I got to run, look
And I ain't backed by a label
I'm on a killing spree man
I'm Cain they Abel
To take your whole brand
Turn you into a staple
You may be bred to something great but you ain't keeping the stable
Nowadays kids get a little bit of buzz yeah they're too quick to sign a deal
Sell their song for like 50K then the label goes on yeah to make a mil
Labels calling my phone talk about the fame but they never want to pay up
And if you want to help me make a hit that's cool start talking catalog then I'mma hang up
Know your worth own your masters
Love what you're doing yeah that's all that really matters
Success isn't always manufactured
Made a milly last year took my team to greener pastures
Came from nothing started writing better chapters
Straight out the trailer like my name was Marshall Mathers
A lot of talking going on last year
But I cut write through the chatter
Me and Wallace got the plan now
Yeah we on the rise
It's been ten years in the making
It's about damn time
For anyone with me now
We'll be reaching new heights
But if we ain't spoke in awhile
Good chance I already cut ties
I already cut ties
