Tedashii - This Song's for You Lyrics

Let's hear it 1 for
The pastors and preachers
Those who was burdened to teach us
Just so they could reach us
And 2 for Big Mama Madea, Granny Mae
All those who would pray us through the faith
And 3 for the cloud of many witnesses
Who stood for the faith and paved the
Way so we could witness this
Kingdom people this song's for you
Kingdom people this song's for
You so let's go

Nine years old getting dropped
Off at Sunday School
Class clowning with my boys I
Just wanna be cool
See I grew up thinking 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 are some
Who live opposite Scriptures
Christians to the public who
Muddy up the picture
Cause for too long cats like Kells
And Mase been the spokesmen
All the while the public see us as a joke man
So this song's for the true
Shepherds who prove selfless
Whose aim is to aid the true helpless
I mean brothers like Spurgeon and
Piper, Tom Nelson, John Edwards
Brothers who make disciples
Those who because of Ezekiel 34
Shepherd the flocks as a true
Pastor of the Lord

I was a hardhead growing up in texas
Where the girls was fast acting and
The men would plex us
Where nobody seems to care so
My cousins was reckless
But from moms and Madea there
Was more that was 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 their people
Based on Christ the Son
And as I write this song
I can remember many times
I left home mama crying just
Wishing I'd try Him
Well I tried Him mama and I kept Him too
I praise God that Madea that
Was praying me through
Thank you Miss Luke, Mama Grant
And Aunt Jessie Mae mama, all those who was
Praying through the faith
This song's for you
And knowing no one can compare to you
To me Madea's more than
A Tyler Perry character

There are those that have gone
On and gone home
To worship at the throne but
Their lives live on
It's their precedence of faith that
Gives the evidence of faith
Exhorting residents of grace to lay aside
Every weight that hinders our race
True examples from the Father
That even if we're martyred our
Faith should never falter
I pray we trust in the
Father like Jacob and Joseph
True faith hall of famers
Like David and Moses
And I praise God for my present day models
From the Columbine daughters to
My spiritual fathers
Thank you God for Dhati, Keynon
Lecrae and Sho
Godly men that's an example of
Which way to go and to the sisters I see
Ya'll holding it down
Standing firm for the faith like
Light poles in the ground
This song's dedicated to all
Ya'll who's true kingdom people let's go
This song's for you
