[Verse 1:] 9 years old gettin dropped off at sunday school Class clownin with my boyz I jus wana be kool See, I grew up thinkin that church was for the preacher Until I met brothers who wanted to reach us and teach us How to study our bibles to see what it means And show Christianity isn't just about what it brings But sadly there was some who lived opposite of scripture Christians to the public who muddy up the picture Cause for too long cats like Kelz and Mase been the spokesmen All the while the public see us a joke man So this song is for the true shepherds Who prove selfless, whose aim is to aid the true helpless How many brothers like Spergan and Piper, Tom Nelson, John Edwards, brothers who make disciples Those because of Ezekiel 34 shepherd the flocks as a true pastor of the Lord [Chorus:] Let's here it one for the pastors and preachers, Those who was burnin to teach us just so they can reach us And two for big momma Madea, granny Mae, all those who would pray us through the faith And three for the crowd of many witnesses Who stood for the faith and paved the way so we could witness this Kingdom people this songs for you, kingdom people this songs for you, so let's go [Verse 2:] I was a hard-head growin up in Buzzeroot Texas Where the girls would stand stacked and the men would plexes, But nobody seems to care so my cousins was reckless But for moms and madea that was more than what's expected From their perspective, life wasn't over They all had a sense of hope that was based on Jehovah And more over, they knew the life to come, They had a love for the people based on Christ the son And as I write this song, I can remember many times I left home Momma cryin just wishin I had tried Well I tried it momma, and I kept it too, I praise God for Madea that was prayin me through Thank you Miss Luke, Momma Grant, and Aunt Jessey Mae, Momma, all those who was prayin through the faith This is for you, and no one in the world can compare to ya To me Madea is more than a Tyler Perry character [Chorus] [Verse 3:] There are those that have gone on, and gone home, To worship at the throne but their lives live on It's the presidence of faith that gives the evidence of faith Exhorting residence of grace that lay aside every weight that hinders our race True examples from the Father That even if we're martyred, our faith shall never falter I pray that we trust in the Father like Jacob and Joseph True faith hall of famers like David and Moses And I praise God for our present day models From the Columbine daughters to my spiritual fathers I thank you God for the highly Kenan Lecraen show Godly men as an example of which to go And to the sisters I see ya'll holdin it down, standin firm for the faith like lightpoles in the ground This song is dedicated to all ya'll whos true Kingdom people let's go this songs for you
