TEST Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: AJ Tracey]
Just sound effects and hype vibes.

[Verse 1: AJ Tracey & Aitch]
They’re casually talking about how they link up with their boys for some FIFA, showing that even with all their success, they still chill with their people. Mentioning The Shard hints at doing things big — like high-end meetups. When they travel, they pay with cards instead of cash, which shows how smooth and rich their lifestyle is. They’ve got over a million in assets, but none of that is kept at home — that’s a flex about financial security and wealth. He brags about how many girls he sees in a day, but none stick around, suggesting a player lifestyle.

Then it shifts to clever wordplay: he breaks backs like banks, meaning both in bed and financially. He gets some hate (maybe from jealous people) while filling up his car, but his girl waits patiently. He shouts out both the South and Manchester, showing love for different parts of the UK. The “cookies” line is cheeky and playful, hinting at intimacy. He didn’t always rap, but he was still flashy and making money. His style — black shoes and flashy diamonds — matches the look of Aitch’s luxury car.

He doesn’t respect anyone who’s not on his level, saying even small-time haters can’t talk down on him. He’s worked hard for his success, and he’s proud of it. He’s eating good again and getting his weight back up, which might be a reference to coming out of a hard time and bouncing back stronger. His car collection is ridiculously expensive — he’s not making it up.

He touches on fake people getting exposed, like someone who lost their watch and reputation. He advises not to trip — literally and metaphorically — saying tie your laces up and be ready. He jokes with a girl to go dance instead of just staring. He admits he’s petty and would rather make a dramatic move than argue. He’s ready for action — mentioning weapons like a lock or machete. Things get chaotic, and he’s hinting at shady stuff going on, like burner phones and risky business. Even a regular trip to the shop turns into something deeper, with references to young hustlers in the game.

[Chorus: Aitch & AJ Tracey]
They describe stepping out of a flashy car (calling it a polar bear because it’s white), wearing an expensive diamond chain. His girl’s holding his hand while he wears a watch worth ninety grand. He runs the place like he owns it and isn’t afraid to cause a scene. When the girl dances, she’s got to prove she’s got what it takes — that’s what they mean by putting her cake to the test. The Black Panther line is about arriving in a slick black Mercedes S63, adding to the superhero-like image. His outfit is Louis Vuitton by the late designer Virgil Abloh, and he proudly reps the “V” initials. The wordplay on V and S shows off branding and personal style. If a girl wants to be part of their lifestyle, she’s got to bring something to the table — confidence, looks, maybe even personality — and pass “the test.”

[Verse 2: Aitch & AJ Tracey]
He starts by saying his luxury watch (an AP) is discontinued, which makes it even more valuable — possibly over 100k. He’s proud of his hustle, saying he turned something small (like 28) into a big gain (over 100), which is a flex on his business skills. He invites someone to celebrate and have fun with him, showing he’s always in party mode. The yellow-gold Rolex (nicknamed “Day-Date lemonade”) is another status symbol. He mentions getting expensive things even from Doha, hinting at international connections.

He jokes that if he wanted to, he could trade a Rolex for a Richard Mille, which is an even pricier watch. He shuts down broke guys who try to talk to him — they should go handle their own problems before coming at him. One of his younger guys is compared to Joe Goldberg from the show *You*, implying he’s dangerous and precise — especially with violence, using a kitchen knife as a metaphor.

He’s got enough money to pay lawyers if trouble comes up. If things get intense, he knows how to handle it and cool things down. He’s rolling up some weed and stacking cash with rubber bands, casually showing off that money isn’t a problem. His style and presence are so clean that people can’t compete with him or his crew. When he sees a girl dancing, he’s into it — but she’s not just after money, she’s after something more personal or exciting that only he can offer.

[Chorus: Aitch & AJ Tracey]
They roll up in a luxurious car, looking rich and confident, with expensive chains and watches on show. His partner’s by his side, and everything around him feels like it’s his territory. They’re not afraid to stir things up wherever they go. The girl’s got his attention, but again, she’s got to prove herself — her looks and vibe need to meet their standards. The Black Panther and S63 reference keeps the image powerful and stylish. The Louis Vuitton gear by Virgil and the wordplay with letters like V and S add to their branded lifestyle. If a girl wants to be part of their high-end circle, she needs to show she’s got something special — she needs to pass their version of a test.

[Outro]
Uh oh, trouble’s about to start again.
