Skyscraper Lyrics by Jae Skeese, Superior

Testament Of The Times

2024

[Intro]
Uh, yeah
4's up
Uh, ayo
[Verse]
I’m buildin’ from ground level but I’m erectin’ a skyscraper
I put in time and labor, I’ve been obedient to grind behaviors
For the crib sittin’ on 95 acres I’ve been on these tours like wine tasters
Stayin’ afloat off of merch, wealth— I know that I’ma find it later
I’m in a race goin’ as far as my stride can take us
And I’m prayin’ for protection from the vibe deflators
They don’t play, they just commentators
They don’t get it, but fuck ‘em, shit, I don’t mind the haters
I got a lot more in store like hard drives and data
This my plan A and ain’t no plan B, and my mind is made up
My faith lies with the Lord whose son died to save us
I gotta trust in what he wants for me
He put that canine in my heart, I dog-walked the beat
I graduated from the days when the losses made me question my calling and left me with my armor chinked
My load-out is upgraded now
When I blow I know that I’ll be paper weighted down
I had to get up off my ass I couldn’t wait around for a blessing to appear from nowhere, that behavior is wild
Look, I’m what you’ve never been and better than I’ve ever been
And I’m just gettin’ started, n****, I ain’t settled in
I won’t break and I damn near’ll never bend
‘Cause in the end every thing’ll work out like cardiac regimens
I’m tryna make a way for all my n*****
Handle my business so I’m gettin’ paid with all my n*****
I paved my way without a father figure, now I art the hardest scriptures just to get my momma and my daughter richer
One thing you couldn’t question is my dedication
I stayed dedicated for my folks who never made it
They think I’m on now and I ain’t even detonated
It’s folks that told me that they proud, but my projects— they never played it
That’s why our mindset is segregated
But for the badge on Instagram I’ve been authenticated
Told you on No Congratulations that this moment that I’m livin’ in— I ain’t tryna celebrate it
But when you start from ground level and you erect a skyscraper, that can seem larger than life
Uh, jealous ones envy, word to Joe Crack and I ain’t who I was yesterday n****
So I ain’t finna bargain my price
I got plans to do it bigger than the Trump Tower
‘Cause every verse hit like hollow points and gun powder
So if I go and talk my shit, that’s ’cause it’s backed up like New York traffic during the rush hours
Huh?
But when you start from ground level and you erect a skyscraper, that can seem larger than life
Uh, jealous ones envy, word to Joe Crack and I ain’t who I was yesterday n****
So I ain’t finna bargain my price
