Verse 1:
I walk in and I’m smelling like a re-up
Funky
Dap the reverend, blessed up, say Hallelujah
Joyful joyful we adore thee sung the people
It’s time for the alter call
So prep ya prayers and mula
Shoe box money in my slacks
My pockets got a lil bulge or something
Need to dump this in the plate cause this my tithes and offerings
Woadie right beside me and he get a debt that he needs to pay
His burdens are burdens so I’ll make sure he cleans his slate
Ones, fives, tens, 20s, 50s and hundreds
All I ever really wanted was to make a lil money
I asked the Lord to get me straight
Told him, I’d bring him back something
Dropped that bag up at the alter
Bet he knew I was coming
Yes lord

Hook:
Gave 10 percent to the Lord
I had to keep my vow
Front the advance for my woadie
Homie covered now
I broke bread with my dawgs
And they having now
Collection plates
They go round and round
Gave 10 percent to the Lord
I had to keep my vow
Front the advance for my woadie
Homie covered now
I broke bread with my dawgs
And they having now
Collection plates
They go round and round

Verse 2:
A lot of elders in church have a problem with me
They smile with glee but their hearts are tainted with envy
Since they penny pinch and watch pockets they all act so stingy
But I always tell them folk that it’s free to pray for me
My lil homie came through, sat in the pew showed face
Went from selling weight to selling hope
Now that’s called amazing grace
Never sell our souls
Never fall for incentives
Cause if it cost me my happiness
Then it’s way too expensive like
Ones, fives, tens, 20s, 50s and hundreds
All I ever really wanted was to make a lil money
I asked the Lord to get me straight
Told him, I’d bring him back something
The congregation started jumping and
Thumbing through the funding
