I'm on the grind

I'm looking at the answers, but I can't make up my mind

I turn away from sin, but then I look back every time

I wanna say I'm perfect, if I did, then I'd be lying

But things would be much better if I only had a dime

I'm looking at the answers, but I can't make up my mind

I turn away from sin, but then I look back every time

I wanna say I'm perfect, if I did, then I'd be lying

But things would be much better if I only had a dime

For every time a prayer of mine begins

I'm sorry that I did it, God, I won't do it again

I could stack 'em to the ceiling, take you out and buy a Benz

Maybe two or three times

But if I had to pay a dime for every time that I recite that

And I turn to sin again, they done bent us right back

And even though I know I'm on the right track, it's like Big Don be losing his mind

But if I only had a dime for every time that God forgave me

And told me that it was all gravy 'cause Jesus saved me

Man, I could probably buy a crib for six-hundred-and-eighty thousand

Think about it now

But if I had to pay a dime for every time that God was speaking

And I didn't pay attention 'cause I wasn't really seeking

I'm in that single-wide trailer where that poop be leaking like every weekend

Ah, I'm on the grind

I'm looking at the answers, but I can't make up my mind

I turn away from sin, but then I look back every time

I wanna say I'm perfect, if I did, then I'd be lying

But things would be much better if I only had a dime

I'm looking at the answers, but I can't make up my mind

I turn away from sin, but then I look back every time

I wanna say I'm perfect, if I did, then I'd be lying

But things would be much better if I only had a dime

For every time your boy shoulda been dead

And I shoulda read the Bible, but I read The Source instead

'Cause I'm living by the words that Biggie Smalls and Tupac said

I could write you a million-dollar check

But if I had to pay a dime for every time it seemed like this occurred

But God just up and blessed me with some things I ain't deserve

And it wasn't nothing to Him, He just sticking to His word

Man, I probably couldn't buy a shirt

But if I only had a dime for every time I hoped that God was listening

And prayed to make a way out of ridiculous predicaments

He did and then I get back in the same stupid position

Man, I'd probably buy an Expedition

But if I had to pay a dime for every time that God showed me His face

Like the time I had that court date and they couldn't find my case

And I shoulda did some jail time, but I walked right out the place

Man, I'd probably have to hitchhike and be walking every day

I'm on the grind

A dime is US coin worth ten cents

Two nickels, ten pennies

One nickel and five pennies

A tenth of a dollar

And still 15 cents short from being a quarter

Anyhow, if you had a dime every time you did right or good

How good could you be?

How wrong could you try not to be?

Or if you lost a dime every time you made a mess

What's up, go 'head, slap over to the white meat

How long would it take you to end up with a pocket full of lint

A head full of stitches, if you could change your name to Mess a mark?

I guess this if isn't really a word you take to the bank with a hold for me

We'll never know
