[Common - Testify lyrics]

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 man's back he was facing years
In her name though the place was his
They tryna take everything except the kids
For years she been through stumbling fights


While he tryna hustle that white
Up all night wondering if he's 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 yelled for order the court
Reporter making 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 looking 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 lov
E 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
