Dash - Test Of A Man lyrics
rate meRep yourself, rep your fam
Rep your health and rep your clan
If the test of a man is to throw up your hands
Then we gon’do that fighting because it’s united we stand
Rep yourself, rep your family
Rep your health and rep your clan
If the test of a man is to throw up his hands
Then he gon’do that fighting because it’s united we stand
I put my heart in this, I’m a part of the art of this
My cartilage is seepin’ out my nose like smoke from parliaments
If god is just then why do I continue to sweat it
I’m ready to set it, don’t anybody doubt who ain’t jetted
I’m headed for a brawl I like to get locked up and then bailed out
Can’t wait to get a taste and meet my mates at the ale house
These soldiers in the war for sport; report on the double
Forever blowing bubbles
I can’t resist, it takes one diss
I get pissed and here come my beer balls
I flip my shit get ballistic when one of my peers falls
We got a man down,
See how this fam bound?
Step up and face him adjacent that’s how we stand ground
I feel serenity when I’m facing my enemies
Knowing any friend will be sending me plenty of energy
Lending no thought to the penalties
Never get what the end will be
It’s time to knuckle up,
Ey yo you ready? Well you better be
Rep yourself, rep your fam
Rep your health and rep your clan
If the test of a man is to throw up your hands
Then we gon’do that fighting because it’s united we stand
Rep yourself, rep your family
Rep your health and rep your clan
If the test of a man is to throw up his hands
Then he gon’do that fighting because it’s united we stand
I’m like most boys, taught at a young age
To stifle our emotions except one: Rage
That was acceptable, not sadness, I'm susceptible
To madness, I wanna stab shit
But wanna have kids
My great dichotomy, my yin and my yang
I struggle on a daily basis with my kid or my gang
I sin but I hang in making the reap sing bliss
I’m sick and tired of hearing myself spit the same shit
Like I’m blind less, no, I’m blind fist, no I bang heads
My fist connects with a blind’s face and it’s nameless
It’s heinous, what we do to self and each other
While people turn a blind eye, I spy we killin’ each other
‘Cause while you bump this, rambunctious, tongue twists
Some’s lungs get punctured, and mum’s need comfort
But some get nothin’ but a cold ass casket
Hate these flows Dash kick
He bleeds it if you knows that bastard
Rep yourself, rep your fam
Rep your health and rep your clan
If the test of a man is to throw up his hands
Then he gon’do that fighting because it’s united we stand (x2)
From both coasts of the Atlantic
From the seas to seashores
Once the fires undo our alliance, in these wars
We see the probable cause
In most of our killing
But what about the ones not willing
And the ones who was children?
We supposed to be building
A better day for tomorrow
I feel like we climbing a mountain
As big as Kilimanjaro
If you feeling the sorrow
You know that your heart isn't hollow
I'm ready to lead a new mission
Are you ready to follow?
Not swallow government interests
Or their excuses devour
While corporations killing millions
With the abuses of power
I refuse to sour
To just step by and be quiet
But I'm curbing my urges
So these motherfuckers are riot
We gotta question the weapon
Used for reppin' up in our habitat
The pen is mightier, why do you
Wanna go and grab a gat?
The goal is evolution
But it has to be passive
Start with the health of self
To pass the mental wealth to the massive
Rep yourself, rep your fam
Rep your health and rep your clan
The real test of a man is to put down his hands
And we can be united ’cause if we divided, we damned
See there’s ways of handling things, and there’s ways of handling things.
Some ways just better for ya health, na what I mean?
You take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones.
Don’t ever back down from something you believe in,
‘Cause if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Alright? Ya.
