The Dragonaires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know that I am the man who
Fight for the right, not for the wrong
Going there, I'm growing there
Helping the weak against the strong
Soon you will find out the man I'm supposed to be
Help this man, don't trouble no man
But if you trouble that man it will bring a bam bam
What a bam bam
Bam bam
See that?
Bam bam
It will bring a bam bam
Can you see that?
Ah… (it will bring a bam bam)
What a bam bam (what a bam bam)
Can you see that? (what a bam bam)
Hear what I say (what a bam bam)
Yeah hey (what a bam bam)
(what a bam bam…)
This man, don't trouble no man
He know you go to nourish man
This man, don't trouble no man
This man is friend and is trying to trouble no man
That's if you trouble this man
It going to bring a bam bam
What a bam bam
Get a bam bam…
The Dragonaires's song Bam Bam is a powerful anthem that speaks to the need to promote and defend justice and fairness. The first verse describes the singer as a person who fights for the right and not the wrong, and is committed to helping the weak against the strong. The lines "Going there, I'm growing there" emphasize the idea that by standing up for what is right, one becomes a stronger and better person. The second verse warns against troubling this man, as it will bring a "bam bam," which is essentially an expression of violent retribution. The message is clear: if you disrespect or cause harm to those who are weaker, you will eventually face the consequences.
The chorus of the song consists mainly of the phrase "Bam Bam," which is repeated several times. This phrase is used to evoke the sound of a violent impact, and serves to emphasize the seriousness of the warning against doing wrong. The phrase "Can you see that?" is also repeated, perhaps as a way to encourage the listener to pay attention to the message being conveyed.
Overall, Bam Bam is a song that encourages listeners to stand up for what is right and support those who are struggling. It warns of the consequences of causing harm to others, and promotes the idea that by working towards justice and fairness, one can become a stronger and better person.
