Whop Da Squire - The Mechanism (Testify) Lyrics

There's so much more than what meets the eye
So I choose to tell my story through the rhymes I write
I'm just trying to be somebody before I touch da sky
The Mechanism for my pain I gotta testify
I gotta testify
The Mechanism for my pain I gotta testify

Grandmama hate a nigga guts
Say I don't give a f*ck about family and such
Kicked a nigga out and I chose to hold a grudge
Grandfather passed away and I couldn't say much
I was able to tell him sorry and it had his heart touched
Looked him in his eyes and said I love him as my tears gushed
So much shame within my heart, trying to cloud it with da blunts
Where that loud pack at? This weed ain't hittin strong enough
Trying to walk on my feet, standing tall feeling crushed
Grandmama said it hurt his heart and I can't make it up
He gone now, that Saturday looking at his face was tough
Tuesday was even harder man my family had it rough, what the f*ck

There's so much more than what meets the eye
So I choose to tell my story through the rhymes I write
I'm just trying to be somebody before I touch da sky
The Mechanism for my pain I gotta testify
I gotta testify
The Mechanism for my, I gotta testify

Tears from my mama's eyes, hate to see my mama cry
Hope seeing his body ain't leave my neices my traumatized
My grandmother no longer has her husband by her side
Hurting with my sister in my arms saying it'll be alright
Broke down after the funeral, swear it was a heavy night
While facing bullshit from a spiteful woman man this can't be life
Wish she kept her cool and didn't let her passion blur her sight
Wish she told the truth to a nigga instead of all them lies
Karma hits a nigga everyday I had to pay the price
The pain eats a nigga up, I gotta put it on the mic
Never again, I promise never again
I must progress from a boy to a man, it's Puff

There's so much more than what meets the eye
So I choose to tell my story through the rhymes I write
I'm just trying to be somebody before I touch da sky
The Mechanism for my pain I gotta testify
I gotta testify
The Mechanism for my pain I gotta testify
