[Verse 1: Elz] Last Resort drop the sh** that make a n***a wanna rap Hit the studio Logic shattering they ain't even got it back Thug life's on my chest and freedom tattooed on my arm Young n***a from the ends turned out from the start Come put it on my heart come put it on my pain I live for you becuh ain't tryna die in vain [?], lord my ankle straight I never flip, and turned pig for a f**ing chick I move big, but I'm rode fully righteously Flip through to buy all my people what they need Forget greed when my [?] starving I'm tired of all the peace rallies with all my people marching I said we get the ting and spark 'em (spark 'em) Time to charging and charging (charging) For the crimes that's didn't [?] pagan [Chorus: Renee Soul] This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have [Verse 2: Shadia Mansour] See I wanna know which side are you on There's nothing in between so you gotta pick one I wanna know where you going So I know where you came from No need to expect an applause because you added freedom to your vocab' see Only the realist can feel this it's simple It's not enough to run around shoutin' "free the people" We gotta breed this, live this, beat this Change we wanna see in life to get the results we wants the generations to come can have the right one [?] Now that hip hop is on our side we lyrically target the wreckers of creation from all sides Of the global's universal Never can they ever tame us, never can they ever stop us Our souls are loaded With enough ammunition that'll last Until justice is served For the stolen and indigenous generations From Africa to Palestinian refugee camps to Indian reservations until our final destination [Chorus: Renee Soul] This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have [Verse 3: Logic] Listen A part of me loves it when I hear from my Ex A part of me wishes I never even got the text I've lost money and love, I've even lost respect I've been young where I've put love after s** I'm seen as a threat because of my a**ociates If I wasn't conscious I wouldn't even noticed it I would notice all the anger, and all the hate That I get from people that don't feel the same way But they might have had the same struggles Same cornershops different blocks, but the same hustle Not the type to say I love you, if I never meant it Not the type to stay quiet, I'm the intervention My heart pumps blood to my hand And my hand writes it down so that you can understand I never planned to be an activist, see I began as a producer And over the years started to rap a bit Then I started reading about what's happening But not a lot of people like to read, so I'm rapping it And even then it's more effective when you give a vision Cause people do prefer to watch robbing and then to listen The revolution will not be terrorised Cause there's no way to deal televise a genocide And they'll never publicise, none a their lies My testimonies something that I'll never jeopardise [Chorus: Renee Soul] This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have This is my testimony, hear me out This is my testimony, it's all I have
