about

Lena Jackson attacks in true wolf fashion over the gritty track Scored by Achilles Hill, "Witness Statement."

lyrics

For the weak minded and drama forming, this a trigger warning

If you continue to listen, it means you welcome torment

Only the realest can feel this, and when I kill this

Better know they throw confetti while you still in mourning

The spirits cuffed me, interrogated- they don't trust me

The witness statement was the only way to do this justly

But it's just me, you see- no need to name no names

But I gotta' let you know that I don't play no games

First thing

You gotta' know that I would die and kill for family

Blood or not, that's all I got and I ain't even 'bout that blam-blam

But I'll be damned I don't cause damage like Bamm-Bamm

Flintstones feel like Infinities in my damn hands

From what I know of, you won't roll up

That confidence you sensing from the internet hypes you

Typing lies to smear a name, but when it's end game

Won't show up, so watch me smite you

Peep the glow up if you'd like to

And while we on the topic here's my statement number two

I ain't fake and if I gotta' play a part just to get a slice of the cake, I'll pass

I'd rather lose the weight

My thick ass still run laps around you lyrically in spirit of my southern shape

Wolf when the moon hits

Howling while I'm scowling at opponents on cartoon shit

Don't give a fuck how it's stuck, your route is foolish

I don't put out

In a room full of millionaires, I swear I never played that opportunist

Whatchu' know 'bout being broke while vibin' with celebrities

Just to peep the B&B denied you in their registry

Why I spit this shit with such brevity?

Cuz' I lack the aesthetics of slim genetics, never bar apologetically

And as for statement three? It's just more words of caution

Your slick talkin' is living proof you don't come 'round here often

I'm protected by a reckless village that wheel in the coffins

My best flex is how my new flex could roll up sparkin'

But let's embark on white flags and black power

Investing in lessons, we keep extremes of the toolies for cowards

I'm tryna' build an empire to empower

And them sour grapes could crush your blessings like Twin Towers

I've been flower child for the longest, I'm at my strongest now

Play my best part, hit targets, take the strongest bow

Peace among us, praise to the clouds

But don't test me, I fail in the worst ways

Fuck around and find out how...
