  • I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him 'til I'm gone
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    It seems like blessings keep falling in my lap

    I don't make songs for free, I make 'em for freedom
    Don't believe in kings, believe in the Kingdom
    Chisel me into stone, prayer whistle me into song air
    Dying laughing with Krillin saying something 'bout blonde hair
    Jesus' black life ain't matter, I know I talked to his daddy
    Said you the man of the house now, look out for your family
    He has ordered my steps, gave me a sword with a crest
    And gave Donnie a trumpet in case I get shortness of breath

    I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him 'til I'm gone
    Don't be mad
    I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him 'til I'm gone
    When the praises go up
    (Good God)
    The blessings come down
    Good God
    When the praises go up (good God) the blessings come down
    When the praises go up
    (It seems like blessings keep falling in my lap)
    The blessings come down
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    (Good God)

    They booked the nicest hotels on the 59th floor
    With the big wide windows, with the suicide doors
    Ain't no blood on my money, ain't no Twitter in Heaven
    I know them drugs isn't close, ain't no visit in Heaven
    I know the difference in blessings and worldly possessions
    Like my ex girl getting pregnant and her becoming my everything
    I'm at war with my wrongs, I'm writing four different songs
    I never forced you to forfeit it, I'm a force to be reconciled
    They want four minute songs
    You need a four hour praise dance performed every morn
    I'm feeling shortness of breath, so Nico grab you a horn
    Hit Jericho with a buzzer beater to end a quarter
    Watch brick and mortar fall like dripping water, uh!

    I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him till I'm gone
    (Good God)
    I'm gon' praise Him, praise Him till I'm gone
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    (The blessings come down)
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    The blessings come down
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    (Are you ready for your blessings?)
    When the praises go up, the blessings come down
    (Are you ready for your miracle, are you ready?)
