[Intro: TobyMac]
Hit it! (Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!)
Make it funky
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Dared to ignore the Lord when things look good
I don't depend on Him although I know I should
On top of the world, a smile upon my face
I bought this food and there's no need to give thanks
Although I am a Christian, I depend on myself
You'll never catch me beggin' anybody for help
I'm an independent man, gotta self-support
But when a problem rises, I tend to abort
I'm always leanin'

[Chorus: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Oh, always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'
I'm always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'

[Verse 2: TobyMac]
Chillin' on the strip Friday night kinda late
Knowin' that the fellas I was with weren't straight
Out searchin' for a good time, things were lookin' live
Forgettin' the Savior's always by my side
They fire up the boat, crack was on the scene
The boys may not be Christians but they're part of the team
This dude approaches slowly, homie strapped with a gun
With my back against the wall, there was no place to run
I call upon the Lord but why should He help?
A back-slidden Christian who depends on himself
Undeservin' forgiveness time and again
Through the sacrifice of Christ I gained the ultimate friend
I'm always leanin'
[Chorus: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Oh, always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'
I'm always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'

[Bridge: Michael Tait]
When I'm down and can't get goin'
Jesus Christ is there to lean on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3: TobyMac]
Need to learn to lean upon the lastin' arms
He ain't a hunk o' rock or wit' a golden charm
Learn to trust in Him like I know I should
Even when I find that things are goin' good
Dependin' on the Lord in all I do
Means that when I have a problem, He has one too
We must face this choice together, no struggle or fight
Because when we make decisions, decisions are right
I'm always leanin'

[Outro: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Oh, always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'
Oh, always leanin' (Always leanin')
Lean on Jesus
Oh, always leanin' (Always leanin')
I always catch myself a-leanin'
Oh, I'm leanin' (Always leanin')
