**[Intro]** Yo turn the mic up **[Verse 1]** Ay Yo Dear Raven, I wrote this cause you never let the small ones in Only climbin’ up the ladder when the names already famous You ain’t lookin’ for the talent, you just lookin’ for replacements Of the clout you lost— Yeah, I said it, no mistakin’ You ghost kids like you’re haunted, never answerin’ the line But you’ll jump at any feature if their numbers lookin’ fine I was patient, I was tryin’, but you pushed me to the side So now I’m writin’ you this track like it’s truth you can’t deny **[Hook]** Dear Raven, Why’d you act like you’re above all the pavement? Like you’re floatin’ on a throne you ain’t makin’? You forgot who built the spaces you’re chasin’ So this one’s for the ones you keep breakin’— Dear Raven… **[Verse 2]** You said you’re loyal to the scene, but that’s a lie you keep repeatin’ You only care about the views and who’s useful for competin’ You don’t build with hungry artists, only ones already eatin’ But I’m starvin’ on this mic— Watch me turn this track to vengeance season And yeah— I’m **usin’ your beat like Tom did with “Dear Slim”** Not a copy, just a message, and I’m sendin’ it within You inspired this disaster, now I’m settin’ fire to your limbs Not violence—just the metaphor of everything I bring **[Hook]** Dear Raven, Why’d you act like you’re above all the pavement? Like you’re floatin’ on a throne you ain’t makin’? You forgot who built the spaces you’re chasin’ So this one’s for the ones you keep breakin’— Dear Raven… **[Bridge]** I ain’t here to ruin dreams I’m here to expose the schemes You keep sayin’ you’re a queen But your crown’s held up by streams **[Verse 3]** I tried to show you respect, but you played me like a pawn Now I’m writin’ out this letter hopin’ maybe you’ll respond Not with ego, not with anger, not pretendin’ you’re beyond But with honesty— ‘Cause every bridge you burn won’t last too long I’m Machine Shop, hoodie up, standin’ strong in the dark While you’re posin’ in the spotlight tryna fake a bigger heart You forgot about the ones who had your back from the start So I sealed this note in ink— Signed it with a sharpened mark **[Outro]** Dear Raven… Don't forget to remember my name I'm out
