Lyrics

Every drop yeah I'm stacking wins

Feeling like I'm accumulating victories

Name's known down the block yeah it's starting to trend

Gaining recognition in the neighborhood, becoming popular

On my way up the ladder

Progressing up the success ladder

You can see my ascend

Others can witness my rise

Paths bright I can't really see the end

My future looks promising, but it's unclear

Now everybody acting like they know me

People pretending to be familiar with me

Talking back in high school

Referring to past connections in high school

They was a homie

Those individuals used to be close

They say they down yeah but they never show me

Claiming loyalty, but their actions don't match

Couple months later

Soon after, asking for financial help, which I refuse

Sean man, can you lend me some money? Fuck no

I'm focused and don't have time for unnecessary stress

I don't really got time to stress

Progressing strategically, like in a game of chess

I've been making moves playing chess

Local artists don't pose a threat to my success

Artists in my city aren't a threat

Confidence in being the upcoming talent

Everybody knows that I'm what's on next

Not concerned with my origins, focusing on the future

I don't give a fuck about where I come from

Only looking ahead, not dwelling on past achievements

Only focused on the future not what I have done

Finally reaching my anticipated moment, leaving others behind

Waiting for my moment now I'm here you're gone

Received an opportunity and ready to seize it

I was handed the baton y'all know I got to run, look

Not supported by a major company

And I ain't backed by a label

Aggressively competing and dominating like Cain over Abel

I'm on a killing spree man

Overpowering and overtaking competitors

I'm Cain they Abel

Others might have potential, but they won't maintain success

To take your whole brand

Young talents often rush into signing deals for quick gain

Turn you into a staple

Record labels make substantial profits from artists

You may be bred to something great but you ain't keeping the stable

Labels prioritize fame over fair compensation

Nowadays kids get a little bit of buzz yeah they're too quick to sign a deal

Insisting on fair treatment and fair pay for creative work

Sell their song for like 50K then the label goes on yeah to make a mil

Understanding the value of your work and its ownership

Labels callin' my phone talk about the fame but they never want to pay up

True success comes from genuine passion and dedication

And if you want to help me make a hit that's cool start talking catalog then I'mma hang up

Success can be achieved authentically

Know your worth own your masters

Generating substantial income and progress

Love what you're doing yeah that's all that really matters

Improving significantly from humble beginnings

Success isn't always manufactured

Deflecting distractions and staying focused on goals

Made a milly last year took my team to greener pastures

Planning and executing with precision, reaching success

Came from nothing started writing better chapters

Overcoming challenges and writing a better life story

Straight out the trailer like my name was Marshall Mathers

Starting from a difficult situation like Eminem

A lot of talking going on last year

Ignoring unnecessary talk and focusing on actions

But I cut write through the chatter

Having a clear plan with a partner for success

Me and Wallace got the plan now

A decade-long journey leading to this point

Yeah we on the rise

It's the right time for success

It's been ten years in the making

Opportunity for growth and higher achievements

It's about damn time

Encouraging those who've been supportive

For anyone with me now

Striving for new accomplishments together

We'll be reaching new heights

But distancing from those who were once close

But if we ain't spoke in awhile

Already severed ties with some

Good chance I already cut ties

Intentionally ending relationships with past associates

I already cut ties

Preemptively cut connections before
