[Verse 1: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir, Michael Tait, Todd Collins]
Now when you're down and feelin' out
I know ya take it to the Lord
But those times when ya got the clout
A-do you take it to the Lord? (Take)
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 you got the juice
A-do ya take it to the mighty Lord? Ow

[Verse 2: TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Ya tend to take it ta God when ya losin' grip
Ya got Christ in your heart, but ya livin' a trip (Mmm) (Ow)
I mean, when ya got trouble, ya call His name
But everybody prays when it comes to pain (Oh, yeah)
Or when you're feelin' down and ya need a burst (Oh) (All right)
Say a short prayer, read a Bible verse
And then expect my Father to honor that (Not now)
Yo, the life thatcha livin' is straight up wack (Come on)
Ya gotta…

[Verse 3: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max & Todd Collins]
Now this song ain't to dis Yo' name (Dis Yo' name) (Mmm)
And it sure ain't to get me fame (Get me fame)
I just gotta explain that it ain't no game (H-hey)
Call Him when ya need Him, then forget the name
Yo, that's lame (Word), and I will proclaim (Everybody, listen up, this is somethin' new)
Stop usin' God for your personal gain (Your personal gain) (Take)
Cause in the end, you'll be left ta hang, boy (Boy)
Check the Word, It'll tell ya the same
Ya gotta…

[Verse 4: TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Ya need to take it to God on the regular tip (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
When things go right, it seems that ya forget
That He wants your attention, He wants your praise
Unsituational, regardless of days (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's a 24-7 type-a-sich at hand (Uh-uh)
Based upon grace, God's love for man
And He's ready and waitin', arms open wide (All right) (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
So take it ta God 'cause He's on ya side
Ya gotta…
