Make 'Em Miss Me
Breaking Gold Chains: Crafting a Legacy Beyond Wealth
Lyrics
Getting used to seeing peoples backs through my rear window
Adjusting to consistently being left behind by people, symbolized by their backs visible through the rear window.
I jump in and they just dipping toe that's how you make a friend a foe
Entering relationships where others only dip their toes, turning friendships into rivalries.
You're clockin' out at 459 I'm working through the weekend
Contrasting work ethics with someone who finishes work at 4:59, while the narrator works even on weekends.
See you sipping on the finest wine and leaving me with natty light
Observing someone enjoying expensive wine while leaving the narrator with a cheaper option (natty light).
Blinded by the gold, but that ain't me no more

Shoulda seen it long ago
