And before I could stick my dollar in
The ushers were making…
…rounds again
To get there I had to hitch a ride
And these motherf*ckers talking about 20 percent in tithes
Telling me it's for the homeless, and those
With nowhere to go, but at night the church…

And praise the Lord more than one day out the week

But now I'm greedy like a fat kid

Or see me to be just the innocent Kendrick, you seen in the street
