The song, titled “Greatness”, was released in the form of a music video on YouTube, and has yet to appear on music streaming services.
“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,” Quavo raps on the track.
He also appears to reference the end of Migos, the trio he led with Takeoff and cousin Offset, rapping, “Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow — n***a, Take did that/ So don’t ask about the group/ He gone, we gone, young n***a, it can’t come back.”
The video for the song features Quavo looking over his collection of jewelry and cash.

I feel honoured to have been welcomed into the family. It’s a bittersweet time.” Butler also expressed how lucky he felt to portray the legendary singer, a thought that often crossed his mind while he was making the film. “How lucky I was to get to have that experience,” he said. “The feeling of standing on an international stage and looking out and looking down at the jumpsuit that I was wearing and realizing there were certain moments where I was seeing the closest thing to what Elvis would have seen during his ’68 Special or whatever that was and I miss it a lot. I miss that experience.”
