Testify

 

Testify Lyrics

As we approach fair weather
As we entertain our maiden endeavor
`Round us still the chorus beats
The schools, the streets
There`s always danger there

For men will divest
Only to a certain point
For each divines their own experience
And to our own
We must attest

They say authority`s essential
They are insincere
They say discipline is fundamental
You will perservere
And when you`ve lost your fear
Then that`s when you must

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin` closer, but a-don`t you cry
Because you ain`t got time
Just keep on strivin`, testifyin`

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin` closer, but a-don`t you cry
Because you ain`t got time
Just keep on strivin`, testifyin`

As you pack the tools of past illusions
You have lost your nerve
Set them near you, lest they cause confusion
Keep some in reserve
To get what you deserve
You`re gonna have to

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin` closer, but a-don`t you cry
Because you ain`t got time
Just keep on strivin`, testifyin`

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin` closer, but a-don`t you cry
Because you ain`t got time
Just keep on strivin`, testifyin`

Mama, you got me my corduroy jeans
"Do your own laundry if you want them clean"
Mama, the workload they`re puttin` me through
"Like I don`t know"

Mama, you got me history books
"Yeah, and I thought me I`d take me a look"
But doesn`t matter what you do or say
Because it ain`t my history anyway

Feast or famine, you`re cryin` at the disco
You have lost your way
The peace they were plannin` died in San Francisco
Floating on the bay
Just close your eyes and pray
Then stand up straight and

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin` closer, but a-don`t you cry
Because you ain`t got time
Just keep on strivin`, testifyin`
