“I don’t know if I have more confidence or less fear.” BARS!

[@dame_mvrck]

Hardest since ever bro!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HEATSEEKINGGHOST]

CRAFT SEASON WE BACK BABY 🔥🔥🔥

[@thesmitty467]

I don’t care what dude has to say on a beat this trash. Lmmfao The best is so garbage I am starting to think Marlon is done for already . Lyricism ain’t shit in 2023 especially without a dope beat to step too step too

[@korymacdowell3881]

Their applause might be louder but there’s blood on their hands their clapping with

[@neorock6135]

That line fuckin hard af

[@sOulbaSe371]

the most underrated track of 2023

[@grmpEqweer]

Marlon is looking genuinely happy in this video. I hope he is.

[@MrAndreMiranda]

"How you gone tell me when I mastered this? When without the money I made it cool to be passionate?" 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheEncouragementKid]

dang that's a thought and a half

[@King_David15]

You're supposed to post your own comment, not just repeat what he said. 😂

[@Saleejo]

​@@King_David15its a music video hes commenting one of his fav lines from the song what is the issue 😂😂

[@IZJPHERE]

💪🏾

[@jordanhamrick5891]

​@@King_David15no one has ever quoted anything right..? Not like our entire culture as a species relies on quoting each other for every single thing in life. Not a single thing you'll ever say in your entire life hasn't been said before at this point. You just sound so uneducated and ignorant. Not to mention toxic as a person. You just spread hate to do it. Over something you don't even care about? What does that mean about who you are?

[@Pulseplug]

“Perpetually trying to make next year my best year” Same MC, same.

[@DexterNomist]

[Verse 1] Flu game feet, all I need's the red leather Feeling good, but I've been better, trendsetter If the heart's a muscle, I could bench-press it, yeah Many wantin' vendettas, none of them clever, though I get the same green, just with less fetter That mean I get the same paper, just with less extras They wan' get down since I came through in a fresh get-up Oh my, guess my prime is ahead schedule Realized less pressure don't mean less effort Confrontin' all the feelings that I let fester Told Arbus it's home court, he said, "Let's get 'em" And if they dig their own grave, we best let 'em Flow nuts and preposterous If they ain't seein' Craft, they need fuckin' binoculars The views got me paid, I'm like a fuckin' optometrist But do it for the love and all the solaces Been a while since they seen a guy this solid miss I'm such a rarity these days I miss the fog, what's rare is the clarity these days Dudes sound the same, lotta parity these days To the point that it's become a parody, jeez, wait We ain't mean to get here Can't be mad when you arrive 'cause look at who we let steer All these money melodies, the rhythm's even less clear So when they tellin' me I'm next, really I'm like, "Next where?" I might not even be in line to buy the dreams they sellin', try to project here Perpetually tryin' make next year my best year I don't know if I got more confidence or less fear Either way, it's workin' for me, pension is eventual [Chorus] Yeah, said I'm just here for the pension You get hurt workin' for a cheer or a mention They out here doin' it for peers or the guest list Shit gon' be exactly as appears at the exit, yeah 'Cause the end of the night is a cruel mirror, yeah And I need my pension Bitch, I need my shit [Verse 2] The grooviest of flows, it behoove you to oppose Any lunacy, suppose [?] how he flows Why would you try to hate? You one them dudes who overuse the word I-D-A You workin' too hard, kid, relax a bit You know the name, they all chatter it The Jersey game is so Paterson If given a choice 'tween a former and a latter I use the former to climb the ladder, wait until the former's what the latter is How you gon' speak on behalf of this but couldn't be half of this? How you gon' tell me when I mastered this? But without the money, I made it cool to be passionate Your faves tryin' do what I do, just with a capitalist twist Their applause might be louder, but it's blood on their hands that they clappin' with, shit So I'ma just relax and sip this tea and this jasmine, bitch, yeah Name ring bells from 11th Ave to Madison You contradictory but inevitable like pastor sins They threw me in the concrete and I had to swim That tried to numb me, be checkin' I still have my lens The beat-breaker Function, might make it, but of late, frequent flaker Bourbon sipper, lotta nights, I meet my makers Their top five in the mirror like, "I need my makeup" Oh, Lord When you know more, you gotta say, "No more" One the best alive, I never been so sure But fuck a accolade, bro, I'm here for the pension [Chorus] Yeah, said I'm just here for the pension You get hurt workin' for a cheer or a mention They out here doin' it for peers or the guest list Shit gon' be exactly as appears at the exit, yeah Yeah, 'cause the end of the night is a cruel mirror, yeah And I need my pension Bitch, I need my shit
