Quavo – Greatness Lyrics

“Greatness” is Quavo’s second Takeoff tribute track following his January 2023 single “WITHOUT YOU,” dedicated to Takeoff after he was fatally shot and killed on November 1, 2022. The track primarily laments on his loss and how he’d do everything once more to see his nephew.

Hours prior to the release, Quavo posted a picture of the track’s title. In the caption, he stated:

Countdown To Greatness!
#ForTake?

He later followed up with an release announcement on Instagram:

Ima Make Sure Mama Straight Especially Make TAKE!
#ForTake?
#GreatNess

Greatness Lyrics by Quavo

[Intro]
Al Geno on the track
Yeah, yeah
Huncho, yeah

[Verse]
My chain, my watch, my wrist
My motherfuckin’ house, my rise and grind (Grind)
I’d give away all this shit just to see my dawg just one more time
Look up at the lights one time (One time)
Hit the stage, rock the mic one time (One time)
Roll one, get right one time (Hey)
Two cups, two cups, two cups (Ooh)
You remember them MCM backpacks? We was runnin’ around with them racks (Racks)
No Wock’, no Wock’, I ain’t never took Wock’ to Poland, I was drinking that Act’ (On God)
Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow, nigga, Take’ did that (On God)
So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young nigga, it can’t come back (Damn)
I’ma make sure mama straight (Mama)
Especially mama Take’ (Treet)
I can’t kick it with a fake (Nah)
And I won’t sleep with the snakes (Snakes)
I’d rather eat with the greats (Greats)
I wanted peace but I can’t (Peace)
I gotta get somethin’ straight
Hold on, wait, huh (Pew, pew, pew)
Tryna move forward but I don’t got all the answers (I don’t got the answers)
But I know I can’t look backwards, that’s dangerous (That’s dangerous)
Uh, I had to go read the Bible and take a few pages (Take a few pages)
Huncho influence, lil’ nigga, now I turn the pages, I turn the pages (Uh)
Never forget that the Migos amazin’ (Migos)
Look at the ice and the knot in my pants, you know that them young niggas made it (Ice)
Get your mind right, lil’ nigga, you never know, you could be famous (You)
I got this shit out the mud and caught a lil’ buzz, then QC changed it (QC)
Faces, faces (Faces), all kinda faces (For real)
All kinda faces (On God), we all God’s babies (On God)
We all built with greatness (Built), we all came in dangerous (Dangerous)
We bound to fall against the odds, we get up and go crazy
And we face it (Face it), we face it (Come on)
Whatever time, we face it (Whatever)
The time it takes to get it (Time), the time it take to make it (To make it)
The time it take to lose it (Time), the time it take to take it (Take it)
The time it take to win (Time), the time you made the greatest (Greatest, yeah)

[Outro]
Yeah, you made the greatest time with your life
Right now, it’s greatness
You pick the perfect time in the world, it’s right now
That time is greatness
I don’t care how long it take, I don’t care what storm you been through, it’s greatness
This how legends was born
Greatness
I couldn’t do it without the greatest group in the world
Hmm, greatness
I couldn’t do it without the greatest nephew in the world
Greatness
I love my mama (Mama, mama), I love my sister (Greatness)
My niece (Greatness)
Lingo (Huh, greatness)
To infinity, the strongest link in the world (Greatness)
