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]
