Verse 1
Now no where in the Bible have you ever read
That praise is just for adults
He said, "Let everything that have breath Praise the Lord"
and that means He wants results...
So... don't look at me funny and my crew back here
When we to want to give God a holla
You see...He's done for me like He did for you
So my praise is (chuckle) just as solid

Chorus
I get my praise on (2xs) just like you do
I get my praise on (2xs) cause He loves me too
I get my praise on (2xs) y'all don't think its much
I get my praise on (2xs) Hallelujah bless the Lord

Verse 2
Now y'all know its true cause back in the day
Even the disciples started trippin'
They told us kids to stay in the back 'cause the Master was too busy
He told them...y'all slippin' "suffer the little ones to come unto me"
The disciples just looked at each other and shrugged
Cause they could not believe, that I... that I... that I...

Chorus

Verse 3
Here a cat, there a cat, here we have the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test)
See we have problems, too!
You better believe that we pray to God, He will help us to make it through.
No rough side of the mountain...or big testimony like my grandma would give back in the day
Naw we're just happy to be in the presence of the Lord to offer up our PRAISE!

Chorus

Verse 4
So the very next time that you do your dance make sure you clear the aisle
Cause you might look back around 'n see A bunch of kids lining up single file...
Well... enough's been said...I've proved my point
And its time to take some action
So if you don't mind me and my crew back here
We have finished our holy rappin'!
