God’s Test (Demo) Lyrics

[Intro: KayCyy]
Yeah, uh
There's power in the name (Yeah), there's power in the (Uh)
There's power in the name (Yeah), yeah, yeah
There's power in the name, I suffer from the shame
I showered in the rain, I pray to Jesus name
And then there was no pain, no, no no no (Woah, woah)
Back for a long time, I am yo

[Chorus: KayCyy]
This just God's test, aw yeah
This just progress, aw yeah
This for the projects, aw yeah
This is God's test, aw yeah, yeah
This can't fall, it's God's jet
This that Sunday Service up in Compton
That's a different kind of mosh pit
Without you God I almost lost it

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz & KayCyy]
Okay I showed up, and showed out (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
For dead homies, poured out
My partner havin' pains he claim, that's why he take a Perc a lot (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone never broke your heart, only hittin' certain spots
Starin' at the stars, I saw angels playing a guitar (Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
This for the old block, oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
My momma put the deed up for folks bail (Folks bail)
Used to get the work at a whole sale
That's back when my office was the hotel (Uh)
I promised this, who raised y'all?, who's son is this? (Who's son is this?)
My role model used to sell a 36 (A brick)
And rock the crucifix with Cartiers and gold teeth (Alright)
The trappers down the street from where Creflo preach
Ain't sell dope, dope, man it sold me
If I was from Colorado, I'd know how to ski
If I was from Hawaii, I'd know how to surf
But I'm from the trenches of Atlanta, I know how to work
Blood on my shirt, he got hit right next to me (Next to me)
I don't get REM, I don't sleep that good (I don't sleep)
I'm a phone addict, told my pills don't make me do it (Don't do it)
Chain smoking just before I graduated school (I did)
On promethazine, I was mean, I was foolish
See me with a double cup, it must be a reunion
And where I'm from you gotta put your mind in the gym
You gotta be strong when you surrounded by a sin, let's do it
[Chorus: KayCyy]
This just God's test, aw yeah
This just progress, aw yeah
This for the projects, aw yeah
This is God's test, aw yeah, yeah
This can't fall, it's God's jet
This that Sunday Service up in Compton
That's a different kind of mosh pit
Without you God I almost lost it

[Verse 2: Kanye West & KayCyy]
