Test

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 pass the test)

Will my solution include Haram? (got to pass the test)

I gotta be strong during times like these, (got to pass the test)

I know after hardship there goes ease! (got to pass 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

Passing 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

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.
