Righteous Fire in 4/4

[Intro]

Two snaps

Then a crack

Organ hits

Whole room leans back

[Verse 1]

Suit’s too old

Shoes still shine

Pocket full of bills

Heart past due this time

Breath like gravel

Soul like steam

Been choking on the dust

Of a secondhand dream

[Chorus]

I came to testify

Yeah

I came to testify (oh!)

Got a jaw full of truth

And a tongue that’s dry

If the roof don’t shake

Let my pride just die

If the roof don’t shake

Let my pride just die

I came to testify

I came to testify

[Verse 2]

Boss man laughing

Watch on gold

But his eyes stay empty

And his hands stay cold

Mama in the kitchen

Humming low

Pot so thin

You can see the fire glow

[Chorus]

I came to testify

Yeah

I came to testify (hey!)

Got a jaw full of truth

And a tongue that’s dry

If the roof don’t shake

Let my shame just fly

I came to testify

I came to testify

[Bridge]

If you feel that weight

On your chest

On your back

Say “yeah”

(say yeah)

If you’re tired of the chains

And the same old track

Say “yeah”

(say yeah)

If your pain got a name

And it’s calling you back

Stand up

Right now

Let it crack

Let it crack

[Chorus]

I came to testify

Yeah

I came to testify

Yeah

I came to testify (oh Lord)

Got a jaw full of truth

And a tongue that’s dry

If the floor don’t burn

Let my fear just fry

I came to testify

I came to testify
