[Verse 1: CJay]
Uhh Yo It's understood to naturally accept reality I was built to not cope
About how you could be rich your whole life but you still gon die broke
See the mother gave birth to the soul
His future’s cursed when he's sold
How much on Earth can one person control?
The bible I read, the Lord said to follow my lead and do not allow your soul to be swallowed by greed
Just abide by the rules in these times life will be fine for you
I'll provide the food just be satisfied when you finally chew
Ain’t no need for you to get upset I'm just reminding you
And the soul entered his empty body in 92
As he grew, he made him a list of things he planned to acquire
Within a short span, cuz the time of every man will expire
Put an emphasis on how much the Lord the blessed him; he spent it big
Thats benjamins content he lived in an expensive crib
What's the purpose of having all that wealth if you don't intend to give
And if you wanna talk percentages then 10 percent is his and nothin
[Hook 1: CJay]
(Last Forever) why worship anything I got on Earth? My soul gon leave it all behind when I die
(Last Forever) give 10 percent to God
Then I'm holding onto what belongs to me
(Repeat)
[Verse 2: CJay]
As his paper rises, his own people he patronizes
All 8 and 9's and the baddest women with different shapes and sizes
He's making progress impregnating baby mamas
No fake designer, Luxurious all jewelry'd up (uhh)
He’s that professional, young black and successful
Fell in love with the gift instead of the fact that he blessed you
Thought if you kept it all right, you’ll be alright
Well the way you play your cards might be your downfall when
The Landlord of the house of God's like, Where my rent at?
Oh you spent that? Forgot to give your 10 percent back
Well your eviction date is approaching you fast if you don’t participate
Just fix a plate, still he let the poor starve while the rich ones ate
He laughed hard as the poor ate off the asphalt
This the last straw No more fast cars or bad broads
Now you anxious, got money in your bank but
That's some money that you can't touch cuz now you bankrupt told you nothing
[Hook 2: CJay]
(Last Forever) why worship any thing I got on Earth? My soul gon leave it all behind when I die
(Last Forever) give 10 percent to God
Then I'm holding onto what belongs to me
(Repeat)
[Verse 3: CJay]
Met his demise next, tried to side step but couldn’t dodge death
God Bless, all he got is his chain and his watch left
Planned his funeral they found a location
The tombstone marks where he could be found below pavement
He's underground I don't mean that he's down in the basement
Baby mamas here to collect for all the times he missed a child support payment
But it's too late for all that
In his final moments he asked himself would he take it all back
Soon as the bullet entered his skull, his spirit exit out the back way this his last day
So the soul grabbed his very last chain struggled as if he could use help
But the tighter the soul held on the more the jewels fell
Nothing he could do but proceed to depart from the body
Unable to explain it to his remains that remain confused
Like I guess he planned it, that was cold man he left me stranded
That's the story of how the Spirit left the body empty handed cuz nothing
[Hook 3: CJay]
(Last Forever) why worship any thing I got on Earth? My soul gon leave it all behind when I die
(Last Forever) give 10 percent to God
Then I'm holding onto what belongs to me
(Repeat)
[Outro: CJay]
Yeah nothing last forever
Nothing... You spend your whole life chasing these things that was here before you and they will always be here after you
So nothing is truly yours; it's the Lord's
And you just borrowing it
So always give back that 10 percent, you know what I'm mean?
Very important, very crucial that you do that
10 percent... One-- One Love
