[Verse 1: Jon Hope] Testify, Testify Trust my heart and soul, would be best if I Just put it on the line, in between the margin Touch the whole world with a little street jargon Life in perspective, truest and the deepest Money ain't the issue cause this music is the freest that it's ever been A fraud I have never been The rhymes are sick, the same time medicine So who goes there? I go there: To the limit beyond limits I don't care I want a world where the violence won't speak But sh** they want a war cause Obama want peace Open your eyes and see what I'm saying An atheist would believe what I'm saying Cause these words don't even come with a bar code I just want my name in your household But on the other hand the game is in a drought I'm still chasing, but time is running out I wonder how, and if, I will survive They tell me Jon just keep Hope alive
Do what you're doing, let the rest make way Do I quit my day job if the night won't pay? Risk my soul, risk my freedom Consult with God cause I know I'm gonna need 'em For the mountains I'm gonna climb Shores I'mma swim Friends who will hate The who*es who'll pretend to be queens So it seems cut from a different cloth sewn at the seams Hear all the whispers They want to see me k**ed, dead I feel it in the air like Phil said Hear the whispers They wanna see me k**ed, dead Feel it in the air like Phil said [Outro: Jon Hope] One foot standing near the edge I think I'm ready for my chance to fly But then again do I rush to fall I'm never sure so I can't decide Goodbye fear, so long No risk, no reward It's a quarter past now So I'm ready to go I'm ready to go I'm ready to go I'm ready to go
