yo! this is a test

you say this when i say that

you say this when i say that
you say this when i say that
you say this when i say that

but i'm not with that
so step back or kiss my...
cos i won't be held back

so don't fight or dis' or piss me off
cos i'm not soft or weak
running down in the maze of the day

this is a new phase
don't be commercial or sell out
or get the hell out of this business

but i won't be caught in that net of suckers
and glass people, weak, beaten down and feeble
society probably wants me to give up

society probably wants me to give up
as i live up to be my best
in a test

a fight for death
as i fight for my very last breath
and etc.

and etc.
gotta be strong
but wait a minute

now could i be better?
now could i be better?
well, only i know

well, what about you?
or do you have a clue?
could've, would've, should've - it's too late

could've, would've, should've - it's too late
why you waiting, laying, sit there? move!
be your own person!


wake up, make up your mind
seek the knowledge that you will find

be your own person
wait for it from the weak
cos they make the people level

and with you make a team
so believe, and be your best
cos this is a test

go for the top chart
rock with all your heart
rock-hard, stay up, go

deal with what's going on
in this crazy world
man woman child boy girl

insane to the playing
love music power pain
be what you gotta do

get the knowing attitude
cos this is a test
that we suggest

be your own person!
cos this is a test!
this is... a test!


cos we all know who is the real victim
society does not want them picked on

labelled or staked, don't raise his guilt,
don't miss your boot and kicked him
faceless in the morning in their urban plight

felt like a symbol with every situation
any one tour already overcrowded
project nation, more inflation

better your damn situation
but how can you better your situation
if you have no occupation?

ten of us said, watch the rolodex center
see how many different schools you can enter
they're out turning in the pit, but life's a (*##$

the world's unconcerned
i'll tell you why it's stuck in a ditch
you own the key to the damn city
but it's a damn pity
