Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did that dirt, I did that wrong and consequence I faced 'em
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels

No day job, gettin' payed for my thoughts, who'lda thought it?
Ironic, with all these sonnets, I'm on it, I'm being honest
Tune up to all of my pro'lems, I lost it in kimbia Austin
And brought back all of my losses, all of the pain it cost us
I'mma man up, put in this work, ye, I gotta own it
There's a reason I'm still breathin', rest in peace to all my homies
I been workin' on the week end just to prove I got that loyalty
I pray, Lawd, please, can I have yo blessings?
He questioned all of my faith and he strengthened me through all these lessons
I don't know when I've been tested, I don't know when I've been tested
But I thank you for these blessings, I do
(Hook)
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I did that dirt, I did that wrong and consequence I faced 'em
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels

Veggie casing got me trippin', what the fuck we thinkin' for?
Put you in a place soon as you walk right in that fuckin' door
Askin' you to speak above and ______(?) make some noise
Fightin' for what's right, I got some karma comin', have some more(?!)
Proud of all the shit I did and I do not regret it
If time is of the essence, I'mma get there in a second
I don't question all this hustle, if you get it, I respect it
On a mission chasing dreams, fuck around and really catch me
I'm doin' what I can, I whip it like a gang
I done seen some shit that make a crazy man sane
And I'm always gonna crack a smile, even through the pain
You only got one shot, so practice like you pray
(Hook)
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I did that dirt, I did that wrong and consequence I faced 'em
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels
I said praises, praises, yeah, that shit's amazing
I look up to the skies and I thank all if my angels
