testimonial (intro)

Singer:diddy

i need y'all to hear me out there

can y'all hear me out there? uhh

through blocks and boroughs

cops is plottin

snakes slither while hustlers chop they product

foreign cars exotic

got hoes hypnotic

while i cruise through the concrete

blowin my chronic

and i move like a diplomat

hoodie and fitted caps

dwell in the habitat where cons and killers at

faced a thousand deaths

cowards'll bow to the feet

of the almighty

a god to the black child

i told moms i would be somethin

i gave myself to the world now it's like you owe me somethin

listen up

i got a story to tell

it's like i fell out of heaven just to walk through hell

it's what

fueled my fire

ignited my desire

you gave me the bricks and the sand to build the empire

throw the seal on my forehead

my faith still strong

with all i've been through

you would think my faith gone

but nope

i hold my stance in stone

i move mountains with my will and succeed that's how i keep goin

won't stop been the motto

feelin rich like i won the lotto

it's almost like seein through the eyes of a crack child

dodgin crisis

three strike system niggaz trapped in a vice grip

you can't defeat me

i defy all odds and sabotages

i survived reagan

i survived the first bush

thinkin back when my moms gave that first push

thank god for my life i came through the room

until the evil of part two

when god gave me a sequel

rags to royal

momma hand her hands in soil

pops moved drugs in capsules and foils

i foiled your plans and made you aware

and turned america's dream into a nightmare

yeah

you feel the vibe muh'fuckers

the first b.i. ready to die" muh'fuckers
