Test Of My Faith

Petey here
 I wanna tell im dead broke and im bout to go crazy
 half a tank of gas, two ciggaretts
 scrapping up change in the ashtray
 then the voices its only a test of my faith
 it was only
 Damn theres a song for that nigga down south
 That i was tellin y'all about yo check this nigga shit out
 Memba that song i told you came on sounding like
 He was talking about everything in my life
 How he was at a point in his own
 and the problem seemed to be taking a toll
 He been fightin so long
 seemed like everything he did went wrong
 But he found the strenghth to keep on going
 and wrote songs about it later on
 I know this shit hit me home
 especially when he was talikin about the money he owed
 how he took the bills and paid a little somethin on each one
 like he'd put somethin on his light bill, somethin on his phone
 he'd get lil money in here he paid a lil more
 he aint have it all so he just paid what he could on it
 and somehow he managed to keep all this stuff going
 It was nothin but a grace to the lord
 Carolina i remeber an i was
 dead broke and bout to go crazy
 half a tank of gas, two ciggaretts
 scrapping up change in the ashtray
 and the voices its was only a test of my faith
 it was only
 Say it seemed like every time he got himself off the ground
 Somethin would come and knock him right back down
 Sometimed he wanted to lay on out for the count
 frustrated and tired but he got up anyhow
 and with a smile i'm talking about
 it makes ya ask yourself how he could then he broke down and said
 I aint never been this happy in my life, aint got a dime more than i had
 but everything seems allright, then they said he went low
 having a joy of a piece of mind, meant more than any problem i had
 at a time, and now i know and i'm so glad
 it was only a sign of the time
 it was only asking me why should i cry
 it was only saying be glad your alive today
 it was only (only) a test of my faith
 man he went and sang that song
 play this shit every morning just to get my little day goin
 You just dont know how this had touched my soul
 to find out i wasnt the only one that been through so
 allmost that exact same something it eased me up
 knew what it was just couldn't put iy in words
 i aint never been the type that really talk to nobody
 so all the problem i had i just kept it all inside me
 Y'all had enough of your own to worry bout
 Not the little situation i had going on
 but yano god wont let you suffer to long
 i aint even have the radio on i was out on the porch
 then boom! from the heavens above
 just when i was at that point and i was just about to mess up
 man buddah played a song for me cuz
 i just shook my head like uh uh uh uh
 (chorus to end)
