Lately things have been so stressed for you It seems like life is trying to mess with you and pester you You thought you knew exactly what to best pursue You working hard on those things that you set to do But you confess it's true that your success is few And your folks are only helping in depressing you You try to do the Deen but they be stressing you And it gets to you but you suppress that too An exam, you go and study day and night You pray and write, hope for a grade you like But when you get the test you're in dismay and fright There's no A in sight and only 8 were right, wow! And what about the sister you enquired about She's so pious, devout that it required a scout But then you get the news her Wali fired you out They were wired, no doubt, to someone higher in clout Lately its seems that your calling in life Is just you falling in strife The word appalling is right And you notice you've been feeling sick, why who knows So you call upon the doctor she can eye it close She tells you I suppose, that you wont be very happy when I diagnose Although you try your hardest not to cry it shows It's a monster load, and your strength is sinking You start wondering and thinking What's going on? it seems all wrong, why am I the one struggling along? I don't know why I'm hurting, I never hurt nobody My life I'm living right, but it's crumbling around me How strong is my faith this time? (got to pa** the test) Will my solution include Haram? (got to pa** the test) I gotta be strong during times like these, (got to pa** the test) I know after hardship there goes ease! (got to pa** the test) It's a test, (from Allah), a test (from your Lord), it's a test (what you gonna do?), gotta realize it's a test (4x) Folks used to say you were smarty kid Others made mistakes but you hardly did Since then man, life has just been marvelous
You stand tall like an obelisk It's obvious Your high paying job is never arduous Your living in your crib and you got marble this and marble that Others dream to rival that And your blessed to never draw major debt because success is your motto nothing keeps you down Pa**ing peeps in town, yo by leaps and bounds People clapping when you talk because of deep renown You drive Hummers and top model jeeps around You know its bad and haram to be a miser and boast But your healthier and wealthier and wiser than most You gotta an adviser to those, who try to propose Cause there's so many potentials that they line up in rows You got it all, the power the money the wealth Your thinking God's gotta love you more than anyone else But wait Whoa wait a second, this isn't what your thinking You gotta stop and think why you getting all the blessings Don't want to let it shake ya, or let the devil make ya Forget to praise Allah and then fail the test your taken No doubt you're gonna try your best Gotta be thankful and pray no less Already gotta head up above the rest Cause you realize this is just a test Chorus So face it, in life, you'll be tested at times The devil, he's bright, don't let him mess with your mind Yo, we're blessed, the Divine, which is the best for mankind So He (God) gives us exams so don't get stressed out and whine Even the best of all humanity was tested Himself Allah can test us with calamity or test us with wealth Can you hold back from profanity and focus yourself Or maybe keep away from vanity and function in stealth It's tough, trust me I know that it's rough But after pain comes ease and you'll be blessed from above I hope when the time for my test comes along I will cope and I'll find I'll be blessed when I'm strong So my people, when life is a mess You gotta focus and realize, this could be your test.
