Testament
I'm a living testament
I meant it if I said it
Don't shoot the messenger
My aim's for you to get the message
You should know me as the one and only
Don't forget it
It's a hard pill to swallow
All these others sound generic
I lead as the gold standard
And alchemist to these mere fools
I see it through the windows of my soul
I peer through
Keep it real
That's the rule they don't adhere to
But false idols
Can never make any real moves
Made my name
By being hands on when I'm rhyming flows
So I have the Midas touch
When I write it, tho
I'm making magic with these words
I'm a dynamo
How they gon cry wolf
Knowing I'm a lycanthrope
Put your money where your mouth is
When you talk
Every time I take a step back
It's a moonwalk
A star was born
Yeah, remember June fourth
Every birthday
Throws the axis of the moon off
Everything was wavy
Now I have the waves crashing
Giving y'all new lines
To save y'all from the same patterns
I'm the biggest success
Of a failed marriage
But it's still apparent
How I raise standards
Right now I am heat spitting
I know that y'all need wisdom
Enemies, I speak with 'em
Got murder in these lyrics
I'm going so deep in it
Empty graves, I refill 'em
I'm a prayer for each victim
A nightmare to dream killers
But the woman of my dreams
Right beside me
She can drop it low
But she's still respected highly
You can put me to the test
But you'll fail if you try me
The loyalty runs deep
Down to the bones inside me
Force field around me
My aura's so sublime
I'ma give 'em hell
If they try to take what's mine
When I stomp on 'em
They don't do anything but whine
'Cause they say they're 'bout that life
Until their life is on the line
They're mannequins, they look the part
But they ain't making moves
I just had to address it
I had to state my view
You gotta peel back the layers
Of what I say to you
'Cause now you're gon bear witness
To the naked truth
What's mine is mine
Just focus on yours
If you think you're not enough
Then you'll always just want more
We could shine diamonds at our peak
But we'd still have flaws
Made you look
Now I hope that you find
What you were looking for
I meant it if I said it
Don't shoot the messenger
My aim's for you to get the message
You should know me as the one and only
Don't forget it
It's a hard pill to swallow
All these others sound generic
I lead as the gold standard
And alchemist to these mere fools
I see it through the windows of my soul

Keep it real
That's the rule they don't adhere to
