作曲 : Barrett, Bishop, Shaw, Sigler 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
