Put It On Lyrics

Feel them spirit
Feel them spirit
Feel them spirit
Lord, I thank you
Lord, I thank you

Feel alright now
Feel alright now
Feel alright now
Lord, I thank you
Lord, I thank you

I'm gonna put it on, I put it on already
I'm gonna put it on, and it was steady
I'm gonna put it on, put it on again
Good Lord, help me
Good Lord, help me

I'm not boastin'
I'm not boastin'
I'm not boastin'
Feel like toastin'
Feel like toastin'

I rule my destiny, yeah
I rule my destiny
I rule my destiny
Lord, I thank you, yeah
Lord, I thank you

No more cryin'
No more cryin'
No more cryin'
Good Lord, hear me
Good Lord ...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Agreement to put on a new spirit and follow the Lord. This a highly personal, sensitive and tender spiritual - steeped in the experience of the African in diaspora.

I heard somewhere that this is actually a song about his marriage to Rita. And that this played on repeat for half an hour at his wedding.

"I'm gonna put it on" (wedding ring) "Feel like toastin'" (wedding toast)
