Test Of My Faith

Petey here

I wanna tell

I'm dead broke and

I'm 'bout to go crazy

Half a tank of gas, two cigarettes

Scrapping up change in the ashtray

Then the voices its only a test of my faith

It was only

Damn there's a song for that ***** down south

That I was tellin' y'all about yo check this ***** **** out

Remember 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 strength to keep on going

And wrote songs about it later on

I know this **** hit me home

Especially when he was talkin' about the money he owed

How he took the bills and he paid a little somethin' on each one

Like he'd put somethin' on his light bill, somethin' on his phone

He'd get a lot of money in here, he paid a little more

He ain't 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

LordCarolina

I remember an'

I wasDead broke and 'bout to go crazy

Half a tank of gas, two cigarettes

Scrapping up change in the ashtray

And the voices it's 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

Sometimes he wanted to lay on out for the count

Frustrated and tired but he got on 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 ain't never been this happy in my lifeAin't got a dime more than I had but everything seems alright"

Then they said he went low having a joy of a piece of mind

Meant more than any problem

I hadAt 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 **** every morning just to get my little day goin'

You just don't know how this had touched my soul

To find out

I wasn't the only one that been through so

Almost that exact same something it eased me up

Knew what it was just couldn't put it in words

I ain't 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 you know

God wont let you suffer to long

I ain't 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 Buddha played a song for me 'cuz

I just shook my head like uh uh uh uh

Dead broke and 'bout to go crazy

Half a tank of gas, two cigarettes

Scrapping up change in the ashtray

And the voices it's was only a test of my faith

It was only

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
