[Intro] (Ohhh yeah!) I hear somebody say “Pastor, why you always talkin’ ’bout that ten percent?” Well… [Verse 1] I said, church, let me testify (SAY IT!) Back in ’09, pockets dry Had more bills than I had breath Overdraft dancin’ with the threat of death (my God!) Then I heard that old deacon say (TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR!) “Son, trust God, give it anyway” I put that ten in the plate, hand shook He turned my “never” into “just look!” (look at Him now!)

I say, “Child, that ten just proves you trustin’ who provides” (HEY!) ’Cause He woke you up, that’s interest paid Put breath in your body, that’s a raise If you countin’ up cost, better count that cross He tithed His blood so you’d win, not lost (oh yes He did!)

Somebody shout, “It’s all His anyway!” (It’s all His anyway!) Your breath? His Your job? His That little check hit on Friday? That’s just God lettin’ you hold His money for a minute (hey!)
