Testify Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]She walked in the court,
her knees buckle
Saying for a man to survive
he need hustle
Seen and been through struggle
her whole life
Made the transition from being
his ho to his wife
Stifling, the night upend the
ATF bust in
Her daddy was a hustler,
so she love them
Looked at the jury, how can they judge him,

[Verse 2]
she screamed
[F]Before you lock my love [Am]away,
[F]before you lock my love awa[Am]y
[F]Before you lock my love awa[Am]y,
[F]before you lock my love awa[Am]y
[F]Please let me testify

[Verse 3]
Fear in her chest, her face in [F]tears
Had her mans 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
scuffles and fights
While he tryna hustle that white
Up all night [Am]wondering [F]if he's alive
Seeing him tried,

[Verse 4]
she bubbled inside and screamed
[F]Before you lock my love [Am]away [F](uh), before you
lock my love [Am]away [F](yeah)
Before you lock my love [Am]away [F](yeah), before
you lock my love [Am]away
[F]Please let me testify

[Verse 5]
The judge yelled for order [F]Court
reporter makin' her words shorter
His lawyer sat next to him
She [Am]could see how [F]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

[Verse 6]
Before [F]you lock my love [Am]away,
[F]before you lock my love awa[Am]y (uh[F])
Before you lock my love [Am]away,
[F]before you lock my love away
[Am]Please let m[F]e testify

[Verse 7]
The court awaited as the foreman got
the verdict from the bailiff
Emotional outbursts,
tears and smeared makeup
It stated, he was guilty on all charges
She's shaking,
looking like she took it the hardest
A spin artist, she brought her
[Am]face up [F]laughing
That's when the prosecutor
realized what happened
All that speaking her [G]mind,
testi[F]fying and crying
When this bitch did the crime

[Verse 8]
The queenpin
[F]Before you lock my love [Am]away,
[F]before you lock my love awa[Am]y
[F]Before you lock my love awa[Am]y,
[F]before you lock my love awa[Am]y
[F]Please let me testify
[Am]You [F]accuse

[Verse 9]
me of a,
you accuse me of a, you accuse
Please let me testify,
[Am]you [F]accuse me of a
You accuse me of a, you accuse,
please let me testify
You accuse me of a,
you accuse me of a, you accuse
Please let me testify,
you accuse me of a
You accuse me of a
