Song lyrics
Please, let me testify.
You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a,
You accuse.
Please, let me testify.
[Verse 1:]
She walk into the court, her knees buckle,
Sayin' 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,
Stiflin', 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, she screamed,
[Chorus:]
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!
[Verse 2:]
Fear in her chest, her face in tears,
Had her man's back, he was facin' 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 wonderin' if he's alive,
Seein' him tried, she bubbled inside and screamed,
[Chorus:]
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!
[Verse 3:]
The judge yelled for order the court,
Reporter makin' her words shorter,
His lawyer sat next to him,
She could see how the trial was affectin' him.
It hurt for her eyes to connect with him,
Usin' her lies for protecting him,
They arrested him for murder and gun possession.
As they read back her confession, she screamed,
[Chorus:]
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!
[Verse 4:]
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 shakin', lookin' like she took it the hardest.
A spin artist; she brought her face up laughin',
That's when the prosecutor realized what happened,
All that speakin' her mind, testifyin' and cryin',
When this bitch did the crime, the queenpin!
[Chorus:]
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!
