《Testify》是美國說唱歌手科曼於2005年3月24日發行的單曲,收錄於專輯《Be》中,並於2006年獲第48屆葛萊美獎“最佳說唱歌手”提名。
歌曲以法庭審判為敘事場景,通過女性角色為涉槍擊案與販毒的丈夫作偽證展開。情節以她試圖用謊言掩蓋罪行卻最終揭露丈夫為主謀的反轉為戲劇核心,副歌“Before you lock my love away”反覆強化情感衝突。作品通過緊湊的敘事節奏,探討司法制度下的道德悖論與人性欺騙性,結尾以證詞崩塌暗示真相與謊言的辯證關係,展現街頭生存法則與情感糾葛的交織。

歌曲歌詞
She walk into the court her knees buckle
Saying for a man to survive he needn't hustle
Seen and been through struggle her whole life
Made a transition from being his ho to his wife
Stifling the night upend the ATF bust in
Her daddy was a hustla so she love them
Looked at the jury how can they judge him she screamed
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Please let me testify
Fear in her chest her face in tears had her mans back he was facing years
In her name though the place was his
They trying to take everything except the kids
But years she been through stumbling fights
While he trying to hustle that white
Up all night wondering if hes alive
Seeing him tried she bubbled inside and screamed
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Please let me testify
The judge called for order the court reporter makin her words shorter
His lawyer sat next to him she could see how the trial was affecting him
It hurt for her eyes to connect with him using her lies for protecting him
They arrested him for murder and gun possession
As they read back her confession she screamed
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Please let me testify
The court awaited as the foreman got the verdict from the bailiff
Emotional outbursts tears and smeared makeup
He stated he was guilty on all charges
She's shaking like she took it the hardest
A spin artist she brought her face up laughing
That's when the prosecutor realized what happened
All that speaking her mind testifying and crying
When this b***h did the crime- the queenpin
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Before you lock my love away before you lock my love away
Please let me testify You accuse me of a you accuse me of a you accuse
Please let me testify You accuse me of a you accuse me of a you accuse
Please let me testify You accuse me of a you accuse me of a you accuse
Please let me testify You accuse me of a you accuse me of a
Please please
