[Chorus]

living life I use to wonder… is it all a test… in school I was an aye student… til i gave up on the test… started skipping school and my grades dropped… didn’t take the test… didn’t know I was still in school… mane the whole world a test…

if I knew back then… I would’ve did better on the test… I was frustrated… wouldn’t nobody help me with the test… see I felt like I always need them… for the test… but everybody life different… so we all got different test…

[Verse 1]

As a kid I had fun… cause I passed every test… not knowing I was failing… cause the street a different test… I didn’t even know how to breathe… going to sleep was a test… I had to turn on me a fan… without that I failed the test…

nightmares I use to have… they were all part of a test… building me up spiritually… but I didn’t understand the test… without nobody to comfort me… I use to cry during the test… those tears turned to blood… time travel during the test…

mom and dad authority figures… all are a test… I saw one beating the other… I jumped in on the test… as a kid not knowing… they make up after the test… wrong place wrong time… I got beat failed the test…

understanding messed up… I was confused on the test… they both kicked me house… I felt neglected on the test… if I never seen em fighting… I would not have failed the test… I wouldn’t have passed the future either… if I never took the test…

 [Chorus]

living life I use to wonder… is it all a test… in school I was an aye student… til i gave up on the test… started skipping school and my grades dropped… didn’t take the test… didn’t know I was still in school… mane the whole world a test…

if I knew back then… I would’ve did better on the test… I was frustrated… wouldn’t nobody help me with the test… see I felt like I always need them… for the test… but everybody life different… so we all got different test…

 [Verse 2]

people use to give me jobs… I didn’t know it was a test… prepping for adulthood… i didn’t understand the test… really loved the job and the money… I smiled during the test… not knowing I was a slave… for my parents during the test…

see they made me pay bills… as a kid taking test… raised my brother and my sister… as a kid taking test… changing diapers was a thang… I had to learn taking test… I didn’t even have kids… thought it was stupid taking test…

that all made me responsible… better taking test… wish I wasn’t forced to do it though… it made me hate the test… I will never do that… to a kid taking a test… if I have a kid it’s mine… I’m a be there for the test…

understanding everythang… me I understand the test… our lives are not the same… quit comparing on the test… where you from and where I’m from…. Might be the same on the test… but our courses really different… not the same on the test…

 [Chorus]

living life I use to wonder… is it all a test… in school I was an aye student… til i gave up on the test… started skipping school and my grades dropped… didn’t take the test… didn’t know I was still in school… mane the whole world a test…

if I knew back then… I would’ve did better on the test… I was frustrated… wouldn’t nobody help me with the test… see I felt like I always need them… for the test… but everybody life different… so we all got different test…
