Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I can
Hundred in my pocket got a hundred in my pants
O boy watch me move, do the praise dance
Blessings like the sand yeah
I don't be rapping I preach
I got them cuts in my jeans
Come get this lesson me from me, uhh
I keep on brushing my teeth
She can't keep me on a leash
I do whatever I please, hmm
Watching the anime
I made a play today
I'm making waves
I just ignore the hate
They wanna talk all day
I can't relate
Dunking like basketball
I be done past the ball
My partner spray
Look at the audience
They wanna dance along
Like Kevin Gates
Wishing it was easier, I can't no more
Whipping in my two seater, skrt pulling off
I can't be sinning and saying I'm sorry
I make a change and that sin I'm departing
Whipping the Chevy like an Ashton Marton
Drip to my toes that's a boot not a Jordan
Okay sir, I make mistakes sir, that is okay sir
When I be whipping I stop and I pray sir
Keeping the faith, sir
I got time today
Telling myself don't be tryna get laid
Knowing the path and then walking it straight
Blowing some money and making it back, yeah
Oh, yeah
I been thanking God when I can
Hundred in my pocket got a hundred in my pants
O boy, watch me move, do the praise dance
I been counting up these blessings like I'm counting sand, yeah
Oh, yeah
I been thanking God when I can
Hundred in my pocket got a hundred in my pants
O boy, watch me move, do the praise dance
I been counting up these blessings like I'm counting sand, yeah
Went from sitting down watching the anime
Not I'm walking the strip with abundant grace
And I'm reading the scripture like every day
I been drinking it up like it's Minute Maid
On the tip of my tongue, like, what did it say
You gone know me like your favorite can of paint
I be hearing the word and I grow in faith
Talking to you like
I obey as best I can
You put promises down on the ground that I stand
Walk a dark path with a light in my hand
I deny my body just to keep your command
Huh, yeah
Had to go back and talk to my pastor
Had to go and correct all my passions
You done gave a fire and gassed it
Now I'm cruising in the right direction
Took the rocks off my neck ain't no flexing
Count the word and the truth in my blessings
Thank you for all of your lessons
Oh, yeah
I been thanking God when I can
Hundred in my pocket got a hundred in my pants
O boy, watch me move, do the praise dance
I been counting up these blessings like I'm counting sand, yeah
Oh, yeah
I been thanking God when I can
Hundred in my pocket got a hundred in my pants




O boy, watch me move, do the praise dance
I been counting up these blessings like I'm counting sand, yeah
