Il Testo della canzone di:
Testify – August Alsina

I remember wakin' up being broke
But still it wasn't breakin' 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 daddy told me he was comin' and he didn't
For every single dollar that my mama knew 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 getting real, damn it's getting real
Didn't graduate, I'm thinking damn I gotta deal
So I hit the block, selling rocks just to eat a meal
So I grabbed the Glock, kept it cocked
Peace is being still

In the back of the tracks
My nigga's stayed with the packs
And if a nigga was schemin'
My brother stayed with the gat

Yeah, yeah we stayed in the trap
Yeah everyday in the trap
These ho's was chasin' the cheese
So we would stay with the rat's

And we was riding down, dipping low, I stayed in the back
In the X5 stunting, we ain't know how to act
Spendin' money like it's nothing, 'cause we gone get it back
17 never thought that I'd be getting them racks

Had a dream but I said I wasn't fuckin' with that
Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fucking with that
But he told me that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see 25

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 going like there ain't no tomorrow

So I'm going hard everyday
'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'm 'a tell the truth and the 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'm 'a tell the truth and the 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'm 'a tell the truth and the 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'm 'a tell the truth and the 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
