My Will
Teflon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are now livin the days
when you can't trust, any or everybody, y'knahmsayin?
You gotta keep your head above water
It's a lot that go on in these streets
But God forbid, if it happen, I leave behind
to you, my legacy

(Verse One: Teflon)
Just in case worse ever comes to worse, let me first
spread love to my Dunns, through the whole universe
First of all, give Ma Dukes any and all
worldly posessions at my discretion if I fall
Give my little sister a kiss, and a hug
from her brother with love and if she scream tell her this
Your big brother scrammed to the motherland
witcha other brother and, Grandpa Duke they watchin over you
Stay out of trouble, do your chores, stay clean
And when you turn 18, all my publishing is yours
Give Grandmoms, this recital from the Bible
It's the holiest for those who know me this is kind of hype

... it's my will

(Verse Two: Teflon)
To my M.O.P. Firing Squad, firing hard
Here's my retirement card, kid I'm at the exits
Give Bo the dark Dutches, so he can puff shit all day
But always remember me up in your sessions
Give Flip my body, give Bill and Fame my blood
Give my sons my guns so they can give my foes, my slugs
Give my fat cousin Stack the loot, give Jack the boot
Whoever thought my raps was fat, give a salute
Give my nigga Nore real money to feel for me, son he rep
Even on the real stormy days, he still saw me
Even give the peace sign to lil' man, cause yo kid
When we was facin a bid, he never squealed on me
Give my Wizzy all my royalties, that's all you need
My hold down, let it be known you always had my loyalty
I give my back to all whack niggaz that sass
And at last, give that nigga Cat some gas

... it's my will

(Verse Three: Teflon)
My will still increases, Nataysha, Dayja, Shania
Camille representin Brownsville, those my nieces
Nephew T'La Quallah, buddha bless you
Give these seeds to knowledge that they need, cause they special
Hit Nataysha with the strong box with the long stocks in it
Farewell hon, I'm gone with your pops
Give my sister-in-law Joyce the top choice selection
between the Lex and the Rolls Royce
Give my cousin Robin, who was always on the job
when I was locked the contract I got, give her stardom
To all the families that was ruined, by death and disease
Please know that I'ma give my heart to 'em
Give Blaze and Relativity the thanks for givin me
the bank and the fame to put my name in the ranks
Well, I guess that's just about all to tell
But long as I'm livin, yo I'ma give 'em hell





... it's my will

Overall Meaning

The song "My Will" by Teflon describes his last wishes and how he wants his legacy to be carried on after his death. The lyrics are essentially a will which he is leaving behind, hence the song's title. The opening lines of the song suggest that in today's society, trust is not easily given to anyone and people need to be careful about who they surround themselves with. Teflon then goes on to talk about the things he wants to be done after his demise.


He starts by leaving his possessions to his mother and giving his 18-year-old sister his publishing. He then instructs his loved ones to stay out of trouble, be clean, and be responsible citizens. Teflon wishes to leave his guns to his sons so that they can protect themselves from their enemies. He also wants his friends to continue with their music careers and mentions them by name, implying that they were close to him. Additionally, he remembers his nieces and nephew, leaving behind advice and guidance, and the mention of giving his royalties to his friends and family shows how he always wanted to provide for his loved ones.


Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that life is unpredictable, and it is essential to have a plan of action in place for when the inevitable happens. Teflon's lyrics reinforce the importance of living a responsible life and ensuring that those you love are taken care of when you are no longer around.
