About This Track

Future frames 'Testify' as a confession of devotion wrapped in the language of transgression. The track pivots on a central tension: he positions himself as the bad guy, but demands that his partner prove she can match his commitment, that she'll stay through the turbulence and the moral ambiguity. The chorus builds around the word testify, turning it from religious confession into a test of loyalty, each verse a demand for evidence that she belongs in his world. The song moves between braggadocio and vulnerability. Future speaks of his success in quick, vivid strokes, Porsches, Texas connections, the trappings of street life, but circles back repeatedly to a simpler need: the assurance that someone will be there. He acknowledges he embarrasses her, that he violates social boundaries, that he's unreliable in conventional ways. What he's asking for is not redemption but acceptance, a partner willing to commit to the chaos rather than reform it. The production, courtesy of Southside, sits in that same space between menace and intimacy, letting Future's voice carry the weight of the negotiation.

"Testify" is a track by Future, from the album HNDRXX, released 24th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Testify

[Intro]

So I'm the bad guy, huh, so you supposed to be the good girl

Huh, okay

Super

Either way it go, either way it go (Either way it go, nigga, ball, ball)

[Chorus]

So you wanna fall for the bad guy?

So you wanna fall, gettin' mad high?

Confess your love for me, testify

Anytime I'm with you, gotta testify

Anything we go through is a test of times

Can you be the one who love me all the time?

We not doing good, you can see the signs

Can you do the crime like it's Bonnie and Clyde?

[Verse 1]

I'm giving you my testimony line for line

I'm giving you the best of me, it's wrong or right

Somebody tell the kids they need to calm it down

I wanna hear your heart pump pound for pound

Show me everything I need to see on my blind side

Show me you gon' be there for the love of a real boy

I just wanna be there for my dogs, they need me

I just wanna be there for the game, that's easy

Crumble up some herb, we ain't gettin' no Z-Zs

Connoisseurs of purp, gotta give 'em a repeat

Turbo, sixty seconds in a Porsche on a one way

Amigos down in Texas, we gon' get us some grande

Cherish every minute, every second we vibe, baby

I wanna be confident when I say you my lady

I wanna be arrogant when I say you mine, baby

I know I embarrass you, I typically violate it

[Chorus]

So you wanna fall for the bad guy?

So you wanna fall, gettin' mad high?

Confess your love for me, testify

Anytime I'm with you, gotta testify

Anything we go through is a test of times

Can you be the one who love me all the time?

We not doing good, you can see the signs

Can you do the crime like it's Bonnie and Clyde?

[Verse 2]

A lil' turbulence got you mad curious

I could've been, but I made a jugg again

Parking lot dealership, I'm in to win

We can't fake the flaws, we can't do pretend

Can you keep it solid and don't ever bend?

We gon' need colossal, we gon' need colossal

Hold me down, down, down like a real shotta

We conversin' back and forth like we real partners

Spiritually, we bonded through the turmoil

I try my best to treasure, give a little more

I know you need my time, 'cause there's gwala comin'

I know you seen the wave comin' and you start runnin'

Don't you be afraid, I'ma guard you with my life

You listen to these blogs, they gon' tell you I ain’t right

Listen to your heart and we gon' ride for life

Shorty on the squad, she gon' ride for life (Free Bandz!)

[Chorus]

So you wanna fall for the bad guy?

So you wanna fall, gettin' mad high?

Confess your love for me, testify

Anytime I'm with you, gotta testify

Anything we go through is a test of times

Can you be the one who love me all the time?

We not doing good, you can see the signs

Can you do the crime like it's Bonnie and Clyde?

[Outro]

Confess your love for me, testify

Confess your love for me, testify
