Emily Braden – Testify Lyrics

Belly is empty, chances are slim
Waitin' to see what the cat dragged in

If you need a dollar, maybe I got a dime
I'm all yours if what's yours is mine

So lend me your ear, mine's yours to borrow
Let's talk until sorrow comes knockin' tomorrow

Gonna gnaw on the gristle, chew the fat
Gotta get down to where the marrow's at

C'mon, can you hear me callin' you
C'mon, I'm just speakin' my truth

Just a drop in the bucket, that's what they say
But I'm too thirsty to think that way

Rather wade in the water, fill up my cup
I'm gonna down to where the truth wells up

And when it hits your lips, it's like a holy hymn
Two, three sips you wanna learn to swim

Mercy, mercy, so deep and wide
Well it feels so good I gotta testify

Oh my god, I gotta testify
Sounds good mama testify
Oh my god, I gotta testify
Sounds good, mama take us high
Oh my god, I gotta testify
Sounds good, mama light my fire
Oh my god, I gotta testify
Sounds good mama, testify

Just a spoonful of honey, to sweeten the pot
Ain't no use for sugar with the stuff you got

Just a plum in the sun, a roll in the hay
My pleasure is simple, I like it that way

So I sing in the kitchen, shout in the halls
House is full of folks who don't mind at all

Yeh, I got a holla', just as big as a wail
The song I sing'll make you shake your
