[Verse 1:]
Times of cryin in the moment
Times of feeling like I don�??t fit
Everything will be alright
Cause we walk by faith and not by sight
[Ladies:]
I�??m a keep on dancing in advance cause I understand who�??s the man
[Fellas:]
I�??m a keep on trusting and moving in the Word �?? I don�??t care what I heard
[Sec B:]
(Now they threatening with the light bill)
I ain't worried
(And the gas bills due too)
I ain't worried
(Don�??t even talk about the mortgage)
I ain't worried
(Foreclosing ain't an option)
I ain't worried
[Chorus:]
When I wake and I think about His goodness
All I wanna do is �?? Throw my hands up
When the earth shakes and I still got my goods and my hood
All I wanna do is �?? Throw my hands up
Get em high�?� Get em low
Get em high�?� Get em low
[Verse 2]
I�??m tired of the pain and rain falling
But I stay in the game and keep callin
Every need will be supplied
So get your head back in it and dry your eye
[Ladies:]
I�??m a keep on praising like crazy even if I have to keep on waiting
[Fellas:]
I�??m a keep on trusting and moving in the word �?? I don�??t care what I heard
[Sec B (II)]
(Now they threatening with the layoffs but)
I ain't worried
(I keep clashing with my boss but)
I ain't worried
(Home ain't quite right but)
I ain't worried
(I�??m a roll with Christ though)
I ain't worried
[Bridge:]
(I�??m a get it in for the time I decided to survive - Cant help it but gotta)
Throw my hands up
(When I got a prayer though cause I leaned on the truth �?? Cant help it gotta)
Throw my hands up
(When the haters hit the blogs cause I waited on the Lord - I still win gotta)
Throw my hands up
(Tears in my eyes �?? Fear took my pride and the Lord said WHY gotta)
Throw my hands up
