Testo Testify - August Alsina
Testo della canzone Testify (August Alsina), tratta dall'album Testimony
I remember waking up, being broke but still it wasn't breaking us
I remember why I broke the rules, 'cause I ain't really have nobody to look up to
I remember cuttin' class, bein' bad, 'cause I ain't have what them other kids had
I remember wishin' that I knew my dad, then I remember wishin' I could get him back
For every night that he told me he was comin' and he didn't
For every single dollar that my mama name was missin'
For every thing I wanted and was told I couldn't get it
And that I had to face it, that my daddy was addicted (damn)
That's right it wasn't easy growin' up, mama was exposin' us to life as she knew it
So we all went through it
I remember bein' down and out, sleeping on my homie's couch
In and outta trouble ever since my mama put me out
Damn it's gettin' real, damn it's gettin' real
Didn't graduate, I'm thinkin' damn I gotta deal
So I hit da block, sellin' rocks just to eat a meal
So I grabbed da Glock, kept it cocked, peace is being still
In da back of da tracks, my nigga's stayed wit da packs
And if a nigga was schemin', my brotha stayed wit da gat
Yea, yea we stayed in da trap, yea everyday in da trap
These hoes was chasin' da cheese, so we would stay wit da rat's
And we was ridin' down, dippin' low, I stayed in da back
In the X-five stuntin', we ain't know how to act
Spendin' money like it's nothin', 'cause we gone get it back
Seventeen never thought that I'd be gettin' dem racks
Had a dream, but I said I wasn't fuckin' wit that
Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fuckin' wit that
But he told me that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see twenty-five
Right then I woke up, broke out
Told my nigga's had to roll out
Moved to the A, and got motivated, that inspiration don't run out
Heard my brother got gunned down, and it hurt me to my heart
So I kept grindin', I kept pushin', he told me to go far
So I can't stop at no crib, can't stop at no car
Gotta keep goin', like there ain't no tomorrow
So I'm goin' hard every day, 'til I got nothin' to say
Nothin' can stand in my way
I gotta stay, to show my nigga's a different way (way)
I'ma tell da truth and da whole truth
'Cause there ain't no need to lie
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, so I gotta testify
For you and I, I testify
I'ma tell da truth and da whole truth
'Cause there ain't no need to lie
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, so I gotta testify
For you and I, I testify
I'ma tell da truth and da whole truth
'Cause there ain't no need to lie
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, so I gotta testify
For you and I, I testify
I'ma tell da truth and da whole truth
'Cause there ain't no need to lie
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, so I gotta testify
For you and I, I testify
I testify, I testify
