Testify |
| She walk into the court her knees buckle |
| Saying for a man to survive he needn’t hustle |
| Seen and been through struggle her whole life |
| Made a transition from being his ho to his wife |
| Stifling, the night upend the ATF bust in Her daddy was a hustla so she love them |
| Looked at the jury how can they judge him, she screamed |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Please let me testify |
| Fear in her chest her face in tears, had her mans back he was facing years |
| In her name though the place was his |
| They trying to take everything except the kids |
| But years she been through stumbling fights |
| While he trying to hustle that white |
| Up all night wondering if hes alive |
| Seeing him tried she bubbled inside and screamed |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Please let me testify |
| The judge called for order the court reporter makin her words shorter |
| His lawyer sat next to him, she could see how the trial was affecting him |
| It hurt for her eyes to connect with him, using her lies for protecting him |
| They arrested him for murder, and gun possession |
| As they read back her confession she screamed |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Please let me testify |
| The court awaited as the foreman got the verdict from the bailiff |
| Emotional outbursts tears and smeared makeup |
| He stated, he was guilty on all charges |
| She’s shaking like she took it the hardest |
| A spin artist, she brought her face up laughing |
| That’s when the prosecutor realized what happened |
| All that speaking her mind testifying and crying |
| When this bitch did the crime- the queenpin… |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away |
| Please let me testify |
| You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a, you accuse |
| Please let me testify, please let me testify |
| You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a, you accuse |
| Please let me testify, please let me testify |
