I've come to the conclusion that even brothers
of a somewhat lesser station
are actually upstanding citizens when presented in convocation
the informal becomes much more formalized
when brothas grab they dicks and TESTI-fy
posturing and genuflecting
signifying and talkin shit
I love every second and surreal minute
of this barber shop-esque script
brothas grab yo dicks and TESTI-fy
cause the latin root of the word means just that
when a man put his word on
er'thang he loves
and the latin root of the word means
the root of all beginnings
from whence the seed came
journeying forward from the testis
in a black man's name
brothas grab yo dicks and TESTI-fy
bearing witness to the third party or parties standing by
or maybe that's a kickstand or a beam threatenin to put out my eye
right hand on the sac swearing before a court of their peers
was celebrated when romans supposedly did that same shit for years
but i suppose the romans had lil '-ass dicks because when
brothas grab they dicks and TESTI-fy
it is no longer a classical tradition, it is now a full-fledged threat
best believe Miss Ann couldn't wait to see just how big
a brothers TESTI-mony could get
see if that thang could get her wet
and baptized in tha truf!
mmm, mmm, mmm, she best watch that tooth
once that brotha gets to TESTI-fyin
tha truf is liable to make a good woman go blind
tha truf is makin some otha niggas and white men lose they
damn minds
when brothas grab they dicks and TESTI-fy
Tha truf will set us all free!
