Tiggs Da Author - Testimony lyrics

[Hook: Tiggs Da Author] This is my test… [Verse 1: Sway] I build my hope on eight pillars, while I was putting up the seventh I was asking life's lessons for the directions to heaven Surrounded by white collars and I ain't talking about no Reverends But my drive to deliver had me revving Oh God, watch me go hard I'm cruising up that yellow brick road fast on the way to Oz listening to Wiz Got to follow my own heart Someday we've got to grow up So shoo Cinderella, nobodies found it so go find something to do Cinderella Got to change the tune Cinderella Rewrite the lyrics that they sing and no this ain't a hop this is a limp And I'm straight shooting from the hip jacking your union yeah I'm truly a Brit They were shooting back at me but I hear shhh, it's a swish Hit the switch, inevitably, lifes a b**h and I'm her fella to be So until the infinite intelligent tells me to leave I'm a go hard Because that groove in her back looks Stella to me Swah [Hook: Tiggs Da Author] This is my Testimony We sweat blood trying to chase the money Some of our souls ain't running no more (Some of our souls ain't running no more) In a life of lust and powder We get high get drunk and now we're Acting like the like the end ain't coming no more (Acting like the like the end ain't coming no more) This is my Testimony [Verse 2: Sway] You're all looking, I love it you're all looking As long as these promoters keep booking Straight but a little crocked Trying to be the next Branson, my ambition held me for ransom aww look how long it took him See the streets don't glitter still see they're sort of like Gary ‘cause they set the Bar-low take that cash and carry What's cooking everybody knows it's the rock, different Gary same rhodes still holding the pot And I had those king size feet I followed up from the foot prints (prince) they couldn't walk a mile I wouldn't even give them a good inch I never got no hand-outs if I did I probably shook them Money on my head so I guess I could have been hood rich The next S.C I ‘ope to be Put those two words together you'll soon give me a look in Its Sway [Hook: Tiggs Da Author] This is my Testimony We sweat blood trying to chase the money Some of our souls ain't running no more (Some of our souls ain't running no more) In a life of lust and powder We get high get drunk and now we're Acting like the like the end ain't coming no more (Acting like the like the end ain't coming no more) This is my Testimony [Verse 3: Sway] Derek Safo, I was never a bad kid No Nick Cotton even though I was hand picked To be one of the UK rappers to fly the flag (yeh) and I haven't even reached the ma** yet In school I wasn't ahead like dandruff Never read at the front so they thought I was backwards Who would have thought it was Arabic like Alif ا baa ب taa ت tha ث gym and I'm still working it out Got to pray before the stage Hands are clapping before it happens Whether a stadium or rave to me its Alexandra Palace All that we have is us the people Yeah, I see you through the cameras Now let me speak to you, my story guts and glory mixed with glamorous Now, You don't have to be religious or spiritual (But it helps) For me to share this little bit of script with you (Been about) Like a Preacher with the mind of a criminal Similar to a Samaritan with a strap just looking for someone to give it to Then I'm out, then I'm in again Then I'm back, just to win again (Keep going) Celebrate, everything that we've been given but we're never giving in Stage time it's time to go in again, now we're on track for Deliverance
