Verse 1

Dressed to the 9s like we at a Gala

Ready to tell the story and do it with honor

Feels like a dying breed folks who wanna be honest

But I don’t wanna sugar coat how far God brought us

Yea he was with me shooting in the gym

When I was starving at the bottom he was rooting for my win.

My life’s in his hands and he ain’t loosen up the his grip

Brave enough to tell the story no excuses this is it

I grew up with love But I ain’t no what to do with it

a life with no substance And substances ruined it

On the road to destruction with no brakes

See we digging up the past like a cold case

I’ve been a hero and I’ve been a villain

I’ve been a culprit and I’ve been a victim

The people in the Bible wasn’t any different

So we gon honor the scriptures let’s get it

Chorus

Somebody Gotta Tell It

Mind as well be us

Somebody gotta tell it

Ima need y’all to see us

Whole truth nothing but the truth

It’s ok if it makes us uncomfortable

But some body Gotta tell it

Now go and TESTIFY

Verse 2

Let’s talk about being accountable

Telling the whole story’s so powerful

If you don’t they gon try to take one out of you

We gotta voice and a choice nothing’s insurmountable

Shoutout to the griots listen and we speak slow

Even when they try to cast doubt about what we know

If they foul than we free throw

This a deep breath if you drowning in ya ego

Power to the people who aint afraid to tell the story

Or else them people in power gonna or tell it for ya

Infiltrate ya neighborhood then redesign it

Hijack ya lingo then redefine it

So we ain’t keeping silent when we see the problem

That’s why I be excited when I read the prophets

I ain’t afraid to talk about those bad nights

Waking up not remembering what happened last night

We bout to shine a flash light

That’s right

Cuz If we reading from the wrong script how we gonna act

They try to bend the truth you can’t teach your problems

We put our story in the open like an easy target

Seek and find Gen Z to boomers get the tea and clock it

I see a lot people grinding Greed and power

Keep of in mind The first shall be last kingdom economics

God will keep his promise we just need to keep it honest

Yea that’s why I get excited when I read the prophets

Chorus

Somebody Gotta Tell It

Mind as well be us

Somebody gotta tell it

Ima need y’all to see us

Whole truth nothing but the truth

It’s ok if it makes us uncomfortable

But some body Gotta tell it

Now go and TESTIFY

Somebody Gotta Tell It

Mind as well be us

Somebody gotta tell it

Ima need y’all to see us

Live from the fire hearing something new

Tell the people what the Lord God has done for you

But some body Gotta tell it

Now go and TESTIFY
