Lyrics
Intro
Yo, Pi'erre, yo, Pi'erre
Verse
"How you get so much favor on your side?"
"Accept Him as your?Lord?and Saviour," I?replied
Thou shalt love thy neighbor, not?divide
I'ma ride, that's on God
His light shine the brightest in the dark
Single mothers know they got my heart
And all my brothers locked up on the yard
You can still be anything you wanna be
Went from one in four to one in three
Thirteenth amendment, gotta end it, that's on me
He the new commander and the chief
That's on Keef, that's on God
Before the ranch, I had horses in the garage
When the Forbes cover was just a mirage
They had me chasin' statues, that's on pride
"Oh my God," Bust said that's on Tribe
When I thought the Book of Job was a job
The Devil had my soul, I can't lie
Life gon' have some lows and some highs
Before the Grammy's ever gave a nod
I wore my heart on my sleeve, I couldn't hide
In '03, they told me not to drive
I bleached my hair for every time I could've died
But I survived, that's on God
I've been tellin' y'all since '05
The greatest artist restin' or alive
That's on L.A. Reid, that's on Clive
That's no Jive, that's on God
Off the 350s He supplied
The IRS want they fifty plus our tithe
Man, that's over half of the pie
I felt dry, that's on God
That's why I charge the prices that I charge
I can't be out here dancin' with the stars
No, I cannot let my family starve
I go hard, that's on God
Outro
(Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?)
Okay, okay, okay, okay

Meaning & Inspiration
On God combines Christian confession with personal testimony and social commentary. The verse identifies accepting Christ as Lord and Savior, loving one’s neighbor, and trusting God’s light in dark circumstances. It also recounts survival, pride, temptation, financial pressure, incarceration, and concern for family. Those subjects sit beside boasts about status and artistry, creating a candid portrait of faith expressed amid ambition, conflict, and public life rather than a conventional worship lyric.
Several lines clearly echo biblical language. The command to love a neighbor corresponds to Mark 12:31, while the image of light shining in darkness recalls John 1:5. The reference to the Book of Job places suffering and spiritual struggle within a scriptural story of severe testing. The song does not offer a sustained exposition of those passages, but it repeatedly credits God for favor, provision, and survival. Its central declaration functions as an emphatic claim of accountability and dependence, even as the verse wrestles openly with pride, money, hardship, and responsibility.
