"Grass Greener" lyrics
(feat. J.Wes)
My nigga, where are my riches?
Where are my riches?
Ain't even tryna spend it, tryna spend it
I got enough for the bank, the friends, and bitches
But nigga, where are my riches?
Where are my riches?
Is this what it feels like?
To run for my whole life
Know if you wanna fly, you might fall
But when you reach that height
And the whole world's in your sight
You'll find your grass was greener after all
Yeah, yeah
You wanna take this shit easy, but it's too hard now
Your wage ain't minimum, baby, you livin' large now
You goin' up, that mean you can't let your guard down
Stack it, stack it, you stack it up till it fall down
This shit was better back when you stayed at your mom house
It's been a minute since you done been to your mom house
You thought the grass that they had on they side was greener
Until you seen it up close, yeah, you fucked around and you found out
Your generation been tricked into placing the simulation
Over the real addicted to tracing
You cop-cop-copy and pasting, just running and racing
But you don't even know what you chasing
Just young and impatient, you got-got
Everything that you used to want, yeah, you got it now
You used to be all in, now you divided now
Starting to think that you being broke was much better
I notice it's hard to hide it now
Funny way of finding out
Mmm
Is this what it feels like?
To run for my whole life
Know, if you wanna fly, you might fall
But when you reach that height
And the whole world's in your side
You'll find your grass was greener after all
All, all
Yeah
Yeah, aye, aye, aye
Greener after all
You a product of fate, your mom's faith, and a lot of mistakes
The same case as a lot of the greats
Your bank statement is not as equate
But hakuna matata, that don't mean you out of the race, right?
Just keep beatin', that piñata will break
The shit ain't sweet, but at least you can say you got a lil' taste
You came a long way from poverty scrapin'
You're scrapped to get by, now you got a lil' cake
It ain't enough though, you want much more
The gusto, the fame, acclaim, your name in bright lights
You wanna save the game, in vain, the white knight
Can't reign and maintain his personal zeitgeist, mmm
To reach the finish, a minute it's gon' take, yeah
You gotta get it, I get it, it's your race, and
You say you wit' it as long as your fam straight
But a change in your frame of mind just can't wait
Make a move
Is this what it feels like?
To run for my whole life
Know if you wanna fly, you might fall
But when you reach that height
And the whole world's in your sight
You'll find your grass was greener after all
Oh, oh
Greener after all
Where are my riches?
Ain't even tryna spend it, tryna spend it
I got enough for the bank, the friends, and bitches
But nigga, where are my riches?
Where are my riches?
Is this what it feels like?
To run for my whole life
Know if you wanna fly, you might fall
But when you reach that height
And the whole world's in your sight
You'll find your grass was greener after all
Yeah, yeah
You wanna take this shit easy, but it's too hard now
Your wage ain't minimum, baby, you livin' large now

Stack it, stack it, you stack it up till it fall down
