about

The new track from The Phensic is inspired by the grit of Toots & The Maytals, Fishbone and 70s American soul!

DON'T TEST ME

One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready now everybody know
Bringing all my swagger to my Rude Boy style
When I come thru make everybody smile
Up on the mic without the gold chain
Everybody knows that I can entertain
Let me explain
This is my domain
Make you feel good like a shot of lidocaine

People tend to think
When your nice that you’re soft
People tend to think
And that’s where they go off
Off to the side
So full of pride
You need to stay humble then step aside
‘Cause I’m on a mission and ready to roll
Trying to bring back that funk and soul
You can join in or get run down
No one can stop this sound

Don’t test me
Don’t test me
I’m not gonna say it again, I said
Don’t test me
Don’t test me

Been in the game for a mighty long time and I’m
Feeling like I’m just getting into my prime
The music hits
You feel no pain
It’s what you need to
Keep you sane
Rudeboy chat up on the microphone
Baptized in the Church of Two Tone
Strong backone
Never on my own
I roll with a crew from many time zones

Here to let you know
It’s more than a show
We do it for the love
And NOT for the dough
Here to pay it forward ‘cause you can’t go back
The scene got lazy and we picking up the Slack
Copper brown skin tends to get less light
Everybody loves the dog until it bites
White washing? Yeah, that’s a thing
But this is the sound we bring

CHORUS
Don’t test me
DON’T TEST ME
DON’T TEST ME
DON’T TEST ME
Don’t test me
