(intro)

Now when you're down and feelin' out

I know ya take it to the lord

But those times when ya got the clout

Do you take it to the lord?

When you're outta cash and ya rent is due

I know ya take it to the lord

But when you're livin' large and ya got the juice

Do ya take it to the mighty lord?



(chorus)

Take it to the lord

Who ya take it to?

Take it to the lord y'all

Ya gotta take it to the lord

Take it to the lord

Who ya take it to?

Take it to the lord y'all

Ya gotta take it to the mighty lord



Ya tend to take it ta god when ya losin' grip

Ya got christ in ya heart, but ya livin' a trip

I mean, when ya got trouble, ya call his name

But, everybody prays when it comes ta pain

Or, when you're feelin' down and ya need a burst

Say a short prayer, read a bible verse

And then expect my father to honor that

Yo, the life thatcha livin' is straight up wack

Ya gotta



(repeat chorus)



Now this song ain't to dis your name

And it sure ain't to get me fame

I just gotta explain that it ain't no game

Call him when ya need him, then forget the name

Yo, that's lame, and i will proclaim

Stop usin' god for your personal gain

Cause in the end, you'll be left ta hang, boy

Check the word, it'll tell ya the same



(repeat chorus)



Ya need to take it ta god on the regular tip

When things go right, it seems that ya forget

That he wants your attention, he wants ya praise

Unsituational, regardless of days

It's a 24-7 type-a-sich at hand

Based upon grace, god's love for man

And he's ready and waitin', arms open wide

So take it ta god, cause he's on ya side

Ya gotta



(repeat chorus 2x)



When you're down and feelin' out

Who ya take it to?

Even when you've got the clout ya need to

Take it to the lord

When you're out of cash, and your rent is due

Who ya take it to?

When you're livin' large and you've got the juice

Do you take it to the mighty lord?





Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?

Dc in the house

Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?

Take it to the lord

Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?
