Logic (People’s Army)
Testimony
[Verse 1: Elz]
Last Resort drop the shit that make a n***a wanna rap
Hit the studio Logic shattering they ain't even got it back
Thug life's on my chest and freedom tattooed on my arm
Young n***a from the ends turned out from the start
Come put it on my heart come put it on my pain
I live for you becuh ain't tryna die in vain
[?], lord my ankle straight
I never flip, and turned pig for a fucking chick
I move big, but I'm rode fully righteously
Flip through to buy all my people what they need
Forget greed when my [?] starving
I'm tired of all the peace rallies with all my people marching
I said we get the ting and spark 'em (spark 'em)
Time to charging and charging (charging)
For the crimes that's didn't [?] pagan
[Chorus: Renee Soul]
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
[Verse 2: Shadia Mansour]
See I wanna know which side are you on
There's nothing in between so you gotta pick one
I wanna know where you going
So I know where you came from
No need to expect an applause because you added freedom to your vocab' see
Only the realist can feel this it's simple
It's not enough to run around shoutin' "free the people"
We gotta breed this, live this, beat this
Change we wanna see in life to get the results we wants the generations to come can have the right one [?]
Now that hip hop is on our side we lyrically target the wreckers of creation from all sides
Of the global's universal
Never can they ever tame us, never can they ever stop us
Our souls are loaded
With enough ammunition that'll last
Until justice is served
For the stolen and indigenous generations
From Africa to Palestinian refugee camps to Indian reservations until our final destination
[Chorus: Renee Soul]
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
[Verse 3: Logic]
Listen
A part of me loves it when I hear from my Ex
A part of me wishes I never even got the text
I've lost money and love, I’ve even lost respect
I've been young where I’ve put love after sex
I’m seen as a threat because of my associates
If I wasn’t conscious I wouldn't even noticed it
I would notice all the anger, and all the hate
That I get from people that don't feel the same way
But they might have had the same struggles
Same cornershops different blocks, but the same hustle
Not the type to say I love you, if I never meant it
Not the type to stay quiet, I'm the intervention
My heart pumps blood to my hand
And my hand writes it down so that you can understand
I never planned to be an activist, see I began as a producer
And over the years started to rap a bit
Then I started reading about what’s happening
But not a lot of people like to read, so I’m rapping it
And even then it’s more effective when you give a vision
Cause people do prefer to watch robbing and then to listen
The revolution will not be terrorised
Cause there's no way to deal televise a genocide
And they’ll never publicise, none a their lies
My testimonies something that I’ll never jeopardise
[Chorus: Renee Soul]
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
This is my testimony, hear me out
This is my testimony, it's all I have
