Testify ft. Nazareth Lyrics

I want to think about something else

Something different

But the pain is persistent

My whole being is distant

I was born resistant

Comes with melanin

Check the skin it's evident

Still trying to prove my relevance

Trying to lasso my hesitance

And truly move on

Especially now that I know

Her love for me is gone

Ignorant as fuck

Stuck shit out of luck

On that still pond I'm the duck

Paddling like crazy beneath the surface

She gave my life purpose

Now I just feel worthless

No point to my being

I'm feeling dull and bland as

Food with no seasoning

I depend on my family for

Guidance and reasoning

I'd be lost without

I never thought I'd get this far

And still need to figure this shit out

It's kind of ridiculous remedial reckless ratchet

I throw curves on purpose and

Watch people try to catch it

I can't get with the fake and plastic

Plastered make up and long fake eye lashes

Might as well be clowns umpires

Or custodians sweeping shit up

Out here looking weird and strange

Needing to give that shit up

That's a galaxy away from sexy

And I'm being polite

I'm just not about that life

But to each their own

Just know that I'm going to

Make my opinion known

I'm a prolific writer

Never been a tongue biter

Crowd igniter

Lover and a fighter

Rolled into one perfect joint

After all this time it's like

I'm still trying to prove a point

Kinda like if I'm not with the One Drops

More than half y'all won't even listen

Kickin that real because that's what's missing

But I guess all they want is fiction

This ain't a Harlequin romance novel

I'm not a peddler of pussy poetry

My big relative Xavier likes to say

I've got that floetry

I be rocking honeycomb gauges

From Sacred Beeometry

Just a worker bee trying to survive

Economically in this fucked economy

Gas prices about to bring my weed

Delivery side hustle to a screeching halt

As you can see many things

Inspire my poetic verbal assault

On deaf ears dormant minds

And dumb ass millennials

Shout out to my fam Flash

With the Raw Materials
