midnight testimony

Its a X thursday event

…Saundo… from jamaica to brooklyn aint no thing

Verse 1 – Biggie-style flow

Uh, candlelight flicker, thoughts get thicker

Hustle in my veins, yeah the pressure come quicker

Street symphony, pain in the melody

Mama said pray but the block kept tellin’ me

Cold nights, stories never told right

Dreams in the dark, still I aim for the gold light

From a corner where the sirens never sleep

Now I’m talkin’ to the heavens while I’m kneelin’ on the beat

Hook – Ray Charles-style soul

I been walkin’ through the shadows of my past

Tryin’ to find a love that’s gonna last

Oh Lord, hear my midnight testimony

A broken man just tryin’ to be free

Verse 2 – Biggie-style flow

Now the city got a grip on my soul tight

Devil in a suit tryin’ to sell me that whole life

Fast cars, gold chains, false kings

But every diamond shine don’t mean a thing

Lookin’ in the mirror, who I became?

Fame in my pocket but I’m drownin’ in pain

Still I rise, wipe the tears from my mother eyes

Turn the struggle into scripture, let the truth testify

Hook – Ray Charles-style soul

I been walkin’ through the shadows of my past

Tryin’ to find a love that’s gonna last

Oh Lord, hear my midnight testimony

A broken man just tryin’ to be free

Bridge – gospel build, Ray style

Take these chains… off my heart tonight

Let me feel… what’s wrong and right

I been lost… but I still believe

There’s a little bit of heaven left for me

Outro – blend of both styles

Yeah… from the pavement to the piano keys

Truth speak louder than a thousand G’s

If I fall, let my story set ‘em free…

Midnight testimony…
