When Life is a Mess.....

TEST

WHATS GOING ON
IT SEEMS ALL WRONG........

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 then 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 eight were right

And what about that sister you inquired 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 it seems that you’re calling in life
is just you falling and 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 know why I’m hurting, I never hurt no body
My life I’m living right but its crumbling around me
How strong is my faith this time? (Got to pass the test)
Does my solution include Haraam? (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)
It’s a test (From your Lord)
It’s a test (What you gonna do?)
Gotta realise it’s a test
It’s a test (From Allah)
It’s a test (From your Lord)
It’s a test (What you gonna do?)
Gotta realise it’s a test

Folks used to say you was a smarty kid
Others made mistakes but you hardly did
Since then, man, life has just been marvellous
You stand tall like an obelisk
It’s obvious
Your high paying job was never arduous
You living in the crib and you got marble this and marble that

Others dream to rival that
And you’re blessed to never draw major debt

Because success is your motto nothing keeps you down
Passing peeps in town by, yo, by leaps and bounds

People clapping when you talk because they deep renown
You drive Hummers and top model jeeps around

You know its bad and haram to be a miser and boast
But you’re healthier and wealthier and wiser than most
You got an advisor to those, who try to propose
Because there’s so many potentials that they line up in rows

You got it all, the power, the money, the wealth
You’re thinking God’s gotta love you more than anyone else

But wait!

Whoa, wait a second, this isn’t what you’re thinking
You gotta stop and think why you getting all the blessings

Don’t wanna let it shake ya
Or let the devil make ya
Forget to praise Allah and then fail the test you’re taking

No doubt you gonna try your best (Got to pass the test)
Gonna be thankful and pray no less (Got to pass the test)
Already got your head up above the rest (Got to pass the test)
Cause you realise this is just a test (Got to pass the test)

It’s a test (From Allah)
It’s a test (From your Lord)
It’s a test (What you gonna do?)
Gotta realise it’s a test
It’s a test (From Allah)
It’s a test (From your Lord)
It’s a test (What you gonna do?)
Gotta realise it’s 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 the Blessed Divine wishes the best for mankind
So He gives us exams
so don’t get stressed out and whine

Even the best of all humanity was tested Himself
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 realise
This could be YOUR test.
