As we approach fait weather
As we entertain our maiden endeavor
Round us still the chorus beats
The schools, the streets
There's always danger there
For men will divest
Only to a certain point
For each divines their own experience
And to our own
We must attest
They say authority's essential
They are insincere
They say discipline is fundamental
You will persevere
And when you've lost your fear
Then that's when you must
Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
Because you ain't got time just keep on striving testifying
Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
Because you ain't got time just keep on striving testifying
As you pack the tools of past illusions
You have lost your nerve
Set them near you lest they cause confusion
Keep some in reserve
To get what you deserve
You're gonna have to testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
Because you ain't got time just keep on striving testifying
Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
Because you ain't got time just keep on striving testifying
Mama you got me my corduroy jeans
Do your own laundry if you want them clean
Mama the workload they're putting me through
Like i don't know
Mama you got me my history books
Yeah and i thought me I’d take me a look
But doesn't matter what you do or say
Because it ain't my history anyway
Feast or famine you're crying at the disco
You have lost your way
The peace they were planning died in San Francisco
Floating on the bay
Just close your eyes and pray
Then stand up straight and testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
'Cause you ain't got time just keep on striving testifying
Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are coming closer but a don't you cry
Because you ain't got time just keep on striving testiying...
