Gotta Praise God

I got one life to live, one Hope, I gotta take it
A dream for this world but the world just wants to hate it
They said I didn’t have what it takes, and yet I made it
Through struggles we get humbled, it’s the way we’re created
I felt like I hopeless, trapped in a world of depression
Sick and tired, every night it’s the same ole confession
I smoked peace, swigged relief from right out of the bottle
Yet somehow I woke up every morning just as hollow
I’d try again, this time I’d go a little harder
Every night, now I gotta go now a little farther
Thoughts I won’t make it creep in my head
I wrote a letter to my mother just in case she found me dead
Little did I know that the answer was there
He waiting to be found in the form of a prayer
So I gotta praise God if they like it or not
And the form of my affection is this- is hip hop, hip hop


I gotta preach the good news; I found what I’m missing
I gotta keep my mind on the heavenly vision
I gotta praise God
I gotta shake it off when they doin’ too much
I gotta stay strong because the road can get tough
I gotta praise God
I gotta keep it moving cause the lies are abound
I gotta stay up when they driving me down
I gotta praise God
I gotta keep it real, so I’m praying they listen
I gotta fight the good fight till the end of the mission, I gotta

Its hard man, to climb back in the fight
To find your true self through all the lies of this life
To turn away from all the things you thought that you liked
It was dark in my heart, I had to look to the light
So many questions seems that no one can answer
So I studied every night asking God for the way of the Master
And looking back, I found respect for God's time
And I’m betting you got questions that were just like mine
And that’s fine, that means you seeking the truth
Find you digging through the Word like you a spiritual sleuth
That ain’t called doubt, you’re supposed to inquire
Pleasing God with your fire to know His will and desire
I try to hold my head, relax, and flash a smile
Knowing Jesus holds me down through every struggle and trial
I gotta praise God if they like it or not
And the form of my affection is this- is hip hop, hip hop


And I don’t understand why the world is so wicked
Guess we all do our share to help the devils dominion by sinning
In the beginning we rebelled with a different opinion
Turned away from God now we shocked by the hell that we live in
Yet by grace, we gotta chance to get it right
The “I AM” in the form of the man they called Christ
Breaking down theology for days and days
And shooting straight from the gate brethren- Jesus Christ saves
Displays all the power of God to give us rest
Showed His love for us sinners by bleeding Himself to death
We choose our own ways, its destruction or glory
Understanding of the story still slowly opens before me
His life, He gave it up, despite, they framed em up
Ignite, get fired up, tonight, you can be touched
I gotta praise God if they like it or not
And the form of my affection is this- is hip hop, hip hop
