Lyrics

Testify

[Intro]

I want to dedicate this joint right here

To Jonathan Jackson and George Jackson

Peace to those brothers

I want to shout out my man Sherm the Worm

Eighty years

Come home nigga

Come home, niggas

.. Ugh

[Verse 1]

I just burnt my American flag

And sent three cracker Nazis to hell and I'm sad

Ugh, I'm loading tips in my Mag'

To send these redneck bigots some death in a bag

Choke him out with his confederate flag

I know these devils are mad

Little rap fans who live way out in safe suburbia

Would you stand with me, a United States murdurer?

[Chorus]

(Testify for me)

Huh? Would you testify?

You buy my songs

You buy my songs

But will you ride with me?

(Testify for me)

You understand my struggle

That's what you claim right?

(Testify for me)

Then get your aim right

And get your game tight

[Verse 2]

Don't buy my songs, y'all don't roll with it

Coming to concerts singing ho and shit

Fuck y'all lil' lil' ho bitches

I don't need y'all, I'll go gold with it

I heard y'all was downloading it, heh

Like I'm y'all man who be exposing shit, heh

Like ah, William Cooper

Who told you the Pale Horse is the future

[Chorus]

(Testify for me)

Would you testify on some realness like that?

I think you scared, heh

I don't think you prepared

Yeah

(Testify for me)

You know what I'm asking you?

(Testify for me)

Do we know what I'm asking you? Haha, haha

Wow...

Why Run The Jewels connected with rock crowds without becoming a rock act

Run The Jewels’ bond with rock audiences came from the force of their live shows, a two-MC dynamic built for collective release, and collaborations that extended their world without changing its centre.

N.O.R.E. has denied Carmen Bryan’s sexual assault allegations

The rapper’s attorney has called the claims in Bryan’s civil lawsuit “entirely false”.

Tool, Twenty One Pilots and Alanis Morissette top Riot Fest 2026 bill

Pierce the Veil, Morrissey, Iggy Pop and Pixies join the Chicago weekender
