Test of My Faith Lyrics


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 onlyDamn there's a song for that nigga down south
That I was tellin' y'all about yo check this nigga shit 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 ownAnd 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 onI know this shit 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 phoneHe'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 Lord
Carolina 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 onlySay 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 aboutIt makes ya ask yourself how he could then he broke down and said
"I ain't never been this happy in my life
Ain'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 had
At a time and now I know and I'm so gladIt 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 faithMan he went and sang that song
Play this shit 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 soAlmost 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 meY'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 porchThen 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 uhDead 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 onlyIt 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Moses Barrett III (born June 17, 1979 in Greenville, North Carolina), better known by his stage name Petey Pablo, is a rapper, actor and founder of CMG Records. He is best known for his hit singles Raise Up, Show Me The Money and Freek-a-Leek, and for being featured on Ciara's Billboard Hot 100 number one single Goodies. He released his debut album, Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry, in 2001 and his sophomore effort, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry, in 2004. His highly aniticpated third album, A&R: Anticipated Recordings, is set to be released in January 2010 after a six year absence from the music scene.

Barrett left home aged 13 in 1992 and lived on the streets of Baltimore, and later Raleigh. He was originally signed to Death Row records, releasing only one track with Crooked I. His life on Death Row was short. Petey Pablo was arrested in Raleigh, North Carolina for armed robbery. He also lived in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. He spent six years in prison and on his release moved to New York City, where he met Black Rob and Busta Rhymes, and, according to legend, was signed by the A&R director of Jive Records after hearing him rapping in a club bathroom. After a few guest spots in 2000, his first solo single was "Raise Up" in 2001 at the age of 22, produced by Timbaland, followed by debut album Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry the same year. "Raise Up" was helped by rotation on MTV and heavy play on urban radio, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Singles Chart. Noted for its "black" rhythm section, "Raise Up" borrows from Timbaland's preference for African-American instrumentation and helicopters. The release of his second album, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry, was delayed until 2004. Lead single from the album, the sexually-explicit "Freek-a-Leek" was another major success, reaching #7 in the Hot 100, although little chart success followed. Barrett currently resides in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he is working under his own label: Carolina Music Group, or CMG. His new album, "A&R: Anticipated Recordings" hits stores in January 2010. The highly anticipated album comes after a six year absence from the music scene. Barrett is calling the album "phenomenal." Many singles are expected to come from this new record such as "Osama," "NC Wzup" and "Fire.
