[Intro]
[Smooth Lo-Fi beat drops. Vinyl crackle sound. Soft humming run.]
(Ad-lib) Yeah...
(Humming) Hmmm-mmm-yeah...
Let me check the numbers one more time.
(Laughs softy)
It still don't make sense.
[Verse 1 - Rhythmic Flow]
Opened up the banking app, scared to look inside.
saw that single digit and I almost cried.
(Ooh-no!)
Rent is due on Tuesday, car note is behind.
Got a million dollar stress on a ten dollar mind.
Single mom budget, yeah, it’s tight as a drum.
Waiting for a paycheck that hasn't even come.
But I look into the cupboard and the shelves are stacked.
Tell me how I’m rich when the funds are lacked?
(Make it make sense!)
[Chorus - Catchy & Melodic]
The math ain't MATHING! (No it ain't!)
But the blessings keep STACKING! (Stack it up!)
I don't know how I made it through the week!
(Tell me how!)
Lord, You give me everything I seek!
It’s that Manna from Heaven, falling on me!
Negative balance, but I'm living free!
The math ain't mathing!
(But I'm good though!)
[Post-Chorus Scat]
Ba-da-ba-da-dup-bway!
Scoo-be-do-bop-yeah!
(Ad-lib) I'm good!
[Verse 2 - Rhythmic Flow]
Gas tank on E, riding on a prayer.
Gliding past the station like I don't even care.
(Woo!)
Kids need new shoes, Ryan needs a fee.
I’m looking at the wallet like "Don't look at me!"
But then a friend calls up, says "I got you, girl."
Blessings coming out from the corners of the world.
I didn't earn it, I didn't work the shift.
God just walked in and gave me a gift.
(Thank you!)
[Chorus - Catchy & Melodic]
The math ain't MATHING! (No it ain't!)
But the blessings keep STACKING! (Stack it up!)
I don't know how I made it through the week!
(Tell me how!)
Lord, You give me everything I seek!
It’s that Manna from Heaven, falling on me!
Negative balance, but I'm living free!
The math ain't mathing!
[Verse 3 - Soulful & Deep]
[Beat slows down just a little. Vocal runs.]
They say "One plus one equals two."
But that don't apply when I'm rocking with You.
(No it don't!)
Five loaves, two fish, feed the multitude.
You change my whole attitude with just a little food.
I’m trading my worry for a little bit of trust.
You turn my pennies into gold dust.
I stop counting, I start praising.
'Cause the way You provide is amazing!
(Amazing!)
[Bridge - Scat & Run]
[Vocal Run]
Oooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-yeah!
[Scatting]
Zippity-bop-bwa-da-dap-dow!
(Ad-lib) How You do that?
You make a way out of no way!
(Every single day!)
[Final Chorus - Maximum Vibes]
The math ain't MATHING! (No it ain't!)
But the blessings keep STACKING! (Stack it up!)
I don't know how I made it through the week!
It’s that Manna from Heaven, falling on me!
Negative balance, but I'm living free!
The math ain't mathing!
[Outro]
[Beat fades out. Soft laughter.]
Zero plus Jesus equals enough.
(Scat) Ba-da-dup...
I'm good.
(Spoken) Eyepiercinglove.
(Song ends)
Eyepiercinglove
