Testimony - Sway, Tiggs Da Author

I build my hope on eight pillars, while I was putting up the seventh

I was asking life’s lessons for the directions to heaven

Surrounded by white collars and I ain’t talking about no Reverends

But my drive to deliver had me revving

Oh God, watch me go hard

I’m cruising up that yellow brick road fast on the way to Oz listening to Wiz

Got to follow my own heart

Someday we’ve got to grow up

So shoo Cinderella, nobodies found it so go find something to do Cinderella

Got to change the tune Cinderella

Rewrite the lyrics that they sing and no this ain’t a hop this is a limp

And I’m straight shooting from the hip jacking your union yeah I’m truly a Brit

They were shooting back at me but I hear shhh, it’s a swish

Hit the switch, inevitably, lifes a bitch and I’m her fella to be

So until the infinite intelligent tells me to leave I’m a go hard

Because that groove in her back looks Stella to me

Swah

This is my Testimony

We sweat blood trying to chase the money

Some of our souls ain’t running no more

(Some of our souls ain’t running no more)

In a life of lust and powder

We get high get drunk and now we’re

Acting like the like the end ain’t coming no more

(Acting like the like the end ain’t coming no more)

This is my Testimony

You’re all looking, I love it you’re all looking

As long as these promoters keep booking

Straight but a little crocked

Trying to be the next Branson, my ambition held me for ransom aww look how long

it took him

See the streets don’t glitter still see they’re sort of like Gary ‘cause they

set the Bar-low take that cash and carry

What’s cooking everybody knows it’s the rock, different Gary same rhodes still

holding the pot

And I had those king size feet I followed up from the foot prints (prince) they

couldn’t walk a mile I wouldn’t even give them a good inch

I never got no hand-outs if I did I probably shook them

Money on my head so I guess I could have been hood rich

The next S. C I ‘ope to be

Put those two words together you’ll soon give me a look in

Its Sway

This is my Testimony

We sweat blood trying to chase the money

Some of our souls ain’t running no more

(Some of our souls ain’t running no more)

In a life of lust and powder

We get high get drunk and now we’re

Acting like the like the end ain’t coming no more

(Acting like the like the end ain’t coming no more)

This is my Testimony

Derek Safo, I was never a bad kid

No Nick Cotton even though I was hand picked

To be one of the UK rappers to fly the flag (yeh) and I haven’t even reached

the mass yet

In school I wasn’t ahead like dandruff

Never read at the front so they thought I was backwards

Who would have thought it was Arabic like

Alif ا baa ب taa ت tha ث gym and I’m still working it out

Got to pray before the stage

Hands are clapping before it happens

Whether a stadium or rave to me its Alexandra Palace

All that we have is us the people

Yeah, I see you through the cameras

Now let me speak to you, my story guts and glory mixed with glamorous

Now, You don’t have to be religious or spiritual (But it helps)

For me to share this little bit of script with you (Been about)

Like a Preacher with the mind of a criminal

Similar to a Samaritan with a strap just looking for someone to give it to

Then I’m out, then I’m in again

Then I’m back, just to win again (Keep going)

Celebrate, everything that we’ve been given but we’re never giving in

Stage time it’s time to go in again, now we’re on track for Deliverance
