Testimonial (intro) Lyrics - P. Diddy

I need y'all to hear me out there 

Can y'all hear me out there? 

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 outta Heaven just to walk through Hell 

But it fueled my fire, ignited my desire 

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

Throwing steel at 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 

So 'Who Shot Ya', 9 to 5 muh'fuckers 

'Bad Boy For Life' is I, muh'fuckers 

And it's back, better than it ever was 

I'm talkin' like we was gone but we never was 

So I deliver the truth uncut 

We produce more hits got the booth fucked up 

On top of the statue yellin', "Who want what?" 

For the past ten years, the future is us 

Eyes closed like I'm blowin' reefer 

The preview is over, now enjoy the future, niggaz 

I wanna thank y'all for believin' in me for so long 

Thank y'all for ridin' with a nigga 

As we continue on, you are now listenin' to the sounds 

Of the world famous, you know my name, you know my name
