Last will and testament

Welcome all, welcome all

I know you’re dying to hear the will

Well here in this little black book

All the truth will reveal

So here we are today

All hungry for what you think you’re owed

Already eager with itchy palms

Forgotten that I’ve just gone

What happened to my memory

My name and my legacy

As I’m subjected to ashes

While you drink all my Heenssy

You ungrateful bunch of hypocrites

I haven’t seen you in years

And you claim you love me with your fallen tears

The truth will set you free

So this is what I leave you

Speak your honest truth

And 20k goes to you

Speak it out into existence

And never carry the burden on your soul

Let my life be a lesson to you

For when your called you go

So who will go first?

Don’t hold back let your tongue fly

The truth is seldom nice

This is why I’ve never lied
