Don't Testify Me B*tch (1990)

Rare 1990's recording of a live music service at Grace Southern Baptist Church performed by Benny Baylamb and The Spatula City Baptist Choir. During the early 90's Benny led his congregation and choir in what was considered some of the most exciting high energy gospel music performances of all time. Benny was known for slapping church members, choir singers, deacons and especially church ladies during his fiery sermons and sweaty live music performances. In this recording Benny gives a nod to longtime friend and fellow church member Cornelius "Backhand" Jackson with this extremely rare live gospel version of his hit single "Don't Test Me B*tch" which he performed after giving his most famous sermon.

Benny was a Baptist minister and a powerful speaker who used evocative language to connect with his audience. His speeches were rhetorically profound, and his cadence, pacing, and preacher-like drama brought passion to his words like "hallelujah" and "sheeeiiiiit". In his most famous sermon Benny warns believers about the dangers of letting women out of the kitchen, and how feminism would swiftly bring about the destruction of the world, calling feminism "the fifth horseman of the apocalypse". He goes on to say "Armageddon happens when people forget to obey the eleventh commandment, Thou shalt not test me b*tch!".

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you do is talk talk talk
But you never listen (can you hear me!)
Get your a** back in the kitchen
And make me some chicken

Don't test me b*tch
(Don't test me b*tch)

[Verse 2]
My pimp hand is strong
And my patience is thin (so thin)
Quit all your b*tchen,
Get back in the kitchen (I'm hungry)

Don't test me b*tch
(Don't test me b*tch)

[Chorus]
Do not test me b*tch
I will use my fist
I will smack your lip
I will bust your sh*t

[Bridge]
Talk back one more time (just one more time)
And this will be the scene of a crime

Try me b*tch, I dare you
(Double dare you b*tch)

[Verse 3]
My pimp hand is strong
And my patience is thin (so thin)
Quit all your b*tchen
Get back in the kitchen (I'm hungry)

Don't test me b*tch
(Don't test me b*tch)

[Chorus]
Do not test me b*tch
I will use my fist
I will smack your lip
I will bust your sh*t

Try me b*tch, I dare you
(Double dare you b*tch)
