Don't Test Me
フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause we won't stop if you don't stop
You can be as good as the best of them
But as bad as the worst, so don't test me (don't test me)
You better move over (move over)
And you know that I'm bad than most of them
I'm the real one to test so don't play me (don't play me)
I think you know better (know better)
Frank White the Desperado used to rock the all-black Movado
The all-black El Dorado
All that and a bottle of Dom P
All that, think twice before you try me
And I'm tellin' you, they better stay out my way
'Cause this is the last time I'm warning you
And I ain't gonna say it no more
Is Brooklyn in the house without a doubt?
I'm the rapper with clout everybody yap about
Check it out guns, I bust em
Problems with my wife, don't discuss em
Coupes and Learjets, I lust them
You can be as good as the best of them
But as bad as the worst, so don't test me (don't test me)
You better move over (move over)
And you know that I'm bad than most of them
I'm the real one to test so don't play me (don't play me)
I think you know better (know better)
You don't stop, then we won't stop
'Cause we won't stop if you don't stop
If I'm on top, then you on top
And we won't stop, we all we got
I display, Hot 97 rhyme-ready
Cocked Mac-11, line steady
Mama said "fallin' in love with a thug is dangerous"
And you know she say facts
Your mom's an actress
Yeah whatever, how you gon' talk that trash?
Matter fact, laid back, let's get this cash
Like Tevin Campbell, I'm ready
To do what I do, continuously to get money
You can be as good as the best of them
But as bad as the worst, so don't test me (don't test me)
You better move over (move over)
And you know that I'm bad than most of them
I'm the real one to test so don't play me (don't play me)
I think you know better (know better)
I'm tellin' you, they better stay out my way (niggas can't harm me, I keep the army)
'Cause this is the last time I'm warning you
And I ain't gonna say it no more
You can be as good as the best of them
But as bad as the worst, so don't test me (don't test me)
You better move over (better move over)
And you know that I'm bad than most of them
I'm the real one to test so don't play me (don't play me)
I think you know better (know better)
You can be as good as the best of them
But as bad as the worst, so don't test me (don't test me)
You better move over (move over)
And you know that I'm bad than most of them
I'm the real one to test so don't play me (don't play me)
I think you know better (know better)
You don't stop, then we won't stop
'Cause we won't stop if you don't stop
If I'm on top, then you on top
And we won't stop, we all we got
You don't stop, then we won't stop
'Cause we won't stop if you don't stop
If I'm on top, then you on top
And we won't stop, we all we got
