Can’T Stop My Praise

(Intro – Street Preacher over Organ & Heavy 808s)

"Y'all hear me? 

Word says — Psalm 150:6 — ‘Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD.'

Doesn't matter where you came from — the block, the pen, the pain

You still breathin'? Then you still praisin'

DJ OG Bones walked it, lived it and God said PRAISE HIM anyway!"

(Chorus – Crunk Gospel Choir, shouted w/ 808 bounce)

(Psalm 34:1)

"I will bless the Lord at ALL times! (ALL times!)

His praise shall CONTINUALLY be in my mouth! (my mouth!)

They can't stop my praise! (nah nah!)

They can't block my praise! (nah nah!)

From the block to the church — I'mma lift up His name!

Hands up, chains broke — can't stop my praise!"

(Verse 1 – Crunk Bounce Flow, raw + scripture echoes)

Came from the gutter, pain in my chest

Thought I was done — but God said "I'll give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Locked in a cell, thought my light was gone

But I read that Word — He said "Be strong." (Joshua 1:9)

Enemies plot, yeah they whisper my name

But the Book told me straight — "No weapon shall maim." (Isaiah 54:17)

Tried to hold me down, tryna snuff my flame

But the Spirit hit strong — now I'll never be the same!

(Chorus – Crunk Gospel Choir, more intense)

(Psalm 149:6)

"Let the high praises of God be in their mouth! (yeah!)

Two—edged sword in they hand — we shoutin' out! (yeah!)

They can't stop my praise! (nah nah!)

They can't block my praise! (nah nah!)

From the trap to the choir — I'mma lift up His name!

Every breath I breathe sayin' CAN'T STOP MY PRAISE!"

(Hook – Reflective, deep choir harmonies under 808s)

(Psalm 100:1—2)

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord

Serve Him with gladness come before His presence with song"

(Elevate elevate praise don't wait praise don't wait)

(Elevate elevate chains gon' break chains gon' break)

(Verse 2 – Aggressive Memphis Bounce w/ Bible Lines)

From the streets, from the block, from the nights of pain

But the Word kept speakin', callin' my name

Romans 8:1 — "No condemn for them in Christ,"

So I walk in the light, leave the dark behind

Hands on the Word, never lettin' it slip

2 Corinthians 5:17 — "New man in this."

Used to hustle on the block, now I hustle in praise

Liftin' Jesus to the sky every night, every day

Don't matter if you thug, don't matter if you broke

God use anybody just to give Him hope

Book said Luke 19:40 — "If they hold they peace

The rocks gon' cry out — praises don't cease!"

(Chorus – Crunk Gospel Choir, full bounce + stomps)

(Psalm 47:1)

"O clap your hands, ALL ye people! (clap clap!)

Shout unto God with a voice of triumph! (shout shout!)

They can't stop my praise! (nah nah!)

They can't block my praise! (nah nah!)

From the block to the church — I'mma lift up His name!

Hands up, chains broke — can't stop my praise!"

(Breakdown – Call & Response, heavy choir vamp)

Preacher: "Who you praise?"

Choir: "JESUS!"

Preacher: "When you praise?"

Choir: "ALL TIMES!" (Psalm 34:1)

Preacher: "What they say?"

Choir: "DON'T MATTER!"

Preacher: "What you do?"

Choir: "PRAISE MASTER!"

808 drop, claps double—time — crowd chants:

"Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!"

(Bridge – Spoken, cinematic pads)

"You coulda been locked up still can praise

You coulda been shot down still can praise

You coulda been dead in the grave but God said LIVE

So praise ain't optional — praise is mandatory!" (Psalm 150:1—6)

(Final Chorus – Extended, huge choir + ad—libs)

(Hebrews 13:15)

"Offer up the sacrifice of praise to God continually! (continually!)

The fruit of our lips — givin' thanks to His name! (His name!)

They can't stop my praise! (nah nah!)

They can't block my praise! (nah nah!)

From the street to the cross — I'ma lift up His name!

Every breath I breathe sayin' CAN'T STOP MY PRAISE!"

(Outro – Preacher Talk, serious tone)

"Listen Psalm 23:4 says, ‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.'

I been through chains, through the storm, through the fire — but God still with me

So DJ OG Bones gon' keep praisin'

And you?  You better PRAISE Him too. Amen!"
