Messiah (Devil’s Diss) Lyrics – NLE The Great

Messiah (Devil’s Diss) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s hyping himself up right from the jump. The phrase “higher, higher” is like him rising above the rest, and he’s claiming that even the money on his wrist (his watch) is worth more than what most people have. He’s calling himself “the greatest” and saying it with full confidence—no one can touch his level.

[Verse 1]
He’s coming out strong, flexing how rich he is. He brags that no one has more money than what’s on his wrist—he’s got flashy yellow diamonds worth crazy money, and that makes others jealous. He spends huge amounts on clothes, wears them once, and then tosses them like it’s nothing. That’s how wild and luxurious his life is.

Then he shifts gears, saying that women who once wouldn’t give him the time of day now want him. The tables have turned. He ties that into deeper thoughts, like how big civil rights figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks fought for a future where a Black man like him could live this kind of life. He even imagines Rosa Parks riding in a Rolls Royce, showing how far things have come.

He then says his rap style is so high-level that after this verse, people’s expectations will go up. He’s a product of a tough life, referencing being born into poverty and drügs, but he made it out. He pushed drügs to survive and says the stuff was so strong, it made people literally struggle to breathe. Now that he’s made it, he wants full respect and recognition—he’s done waiting around for it. He’s not gonna let life pass him by; if he dies, he wants to be remembered as “The Greatest.”

He thinks he’s so influential that one day, students at Harvard might study the way he raps. He compares himself to the streets—tough, cold, and serious. Anyone who tries to play him is making a big mistake. He’s armed and ready, not just with weapons but with mental toughness too. He says he’s battling inner demons and isn’t afraid to face darkness head-on.

He casually mentions buying designer stuff for women but only to get them to take their clothes off. He keeps it real—he’s focused on stacking money, and he’s getting so much of it that people think it’s fake. He mentions staying off pork like Muslims do, showing discipline and cultural awareness. He jokes crudely after that but keeps up the aggressive tone.

He talks about being armed and ready to take out enemies, painting a violent picture of what happens when people mess with him. His threats aren’t subtle—he describes leaving body parts scattered. He’s that confident in his power that he could tell even Beyoncé he doesn’t need her. He’s got so much charisma he could preach to a preacher or convert a non-believer.

He flips people’s lives around—turning dropouts into success stories, masculine women into divas, and so on. Everything he touches transforms. He’s saying his influence is that strong. He repeats “picture me rolling” to emphasize that he’s living life large and doing whatever he wants. And if someone crosses him? He’s cutting them off—literally.

[Chorus]
He’s talking about living a fast-paced, dangerous lifestyle, where there’s no time to slow down. He jokes about having ten wives, comparing his home to a group home. But he also gets spiritual—saying he’s up high with God, calling himself the “Messiah,” like he’s chosen. He’s always pressing others with pressure “on their neck,” walking a fine line between truth and lies. Then he points out there are two types of people—those who are struggling to survive and those willing to die for what they believe. He’s firmly in the second group.

[Verse 2]
He starts this verse with clever wordplay. Calling someone a “bird” is a diss, and he jokes about mixing letters like scrambled eggs—basically saying others’ lyrics are trash compared to his. He says his energy is boosted, probably from a supplement like Ginseng, and he’s ready to unleash himself on rappers who are bland or basic. He brings in juice references—saying don’t mess with what he’s got going on, comparing himself to O.J., someone controversial and powerful.

He’s rocking jeans and ready to fight like Bruce Lee, calling himself a beast in battle. He sets up an image of a lion and cobra fighting—asking who’s really king once the dust settles. He’s telling fake, weak people to run when the heat comes because he’s serious with his threats. When he says “fire on your ass like a stove,” he means literal danger.

He throws more shade at broke, unoriginal rappers, saying he’s the opposite—wants all the smoke, all the heat, and doesn’t need coaching. He even talks about jail life and how dangerous it is, referencing a twisted take on “P. Diddy” and the threat of s*xual violence, which is grim but shows how brutal things can get.

He brags again about his dominance—calling himself the GOAT (greatest of all time) and being with the “GWOAT” (greatest woman of all time), mentioning real-life boxer Clarissa Shields. He mixes raunchy imagery with celebrity references like Nicki Minaj and throws in a wild line about ChatGPT knowing who he is, showing how far-reaching his influence is.

He talks about being trained and ready for war (TTG: trained to go) and says he’s surgical with no sympathy. Hurting others doesn’t faze him, and he doesn’t care about fairness. He’s playing on a different level, fighting new battles but against the same kind of evil. He sees himself as someone who never compromises, while others sell out for quick success.

He mocks hope, saying he has faith instead—he’s focused on getting money, staying up, and staying sane without needing pills. Even though he fights demons daily, he’s protected by God. It’s like he’s living in two worlds: one where he’s constantly under pressure, and another where he’s chosen by a higher power to rise above it all.

[Chorus]
He returns to that same fast, reckless vibe, saying he’s always on the move and chasing bigger things. Joking about having ten wives again shows how wild his lifestyle is. He feels like he’s spiritually on top—rising with God, calling himself the Messiah. He’s always applying pressure, walking that fine line between lies and truth. And again, he breaks it down: some people just want to survive, and others are ready to die for what they stand for—he’s definitely the second type.
