When I Praise Him

Give me a second
Some time with my lord
Cause I need to free my conscience and he knows what for
Give me a second
Some time with my lord
Cause I need to free my conscience and he knows what for

Only in salat is when you'll ever see me praise dance
Allahu akbar going up you'll see my praise hands
My recitation is as close as I'll get to gospel
I Gotta get my pauses right cause some verses are a mouthful
But, It's the best thing that these lips will ever speak
And after that it's my dua's and authentic Hadith
After that it's my dhikiring with one word on repeat
And after that it's my kind words and "I love you's" in the streets
I inhale in the intention and I exhale on the action
That's packin' all kinda stuff
Like good and wholesome passion
And love seasoned with tough
I'm kinda blunt
So excuse my truthfulness
I think before I speak despite my youthfulness
I'm old in mind like Aisha
Young but Islam's most quoted teacher
Our mother and believer and in comparison
She reminds me a lot of myself
And Khadija they remind me a lot of myself
May God be pleased with them both

Hey, When I Praise Him
Yeah, Yes
When I praise him, when I praise him, when I praise him

See when I dhikr is the only time you'll see me spitting game
Watch my footwork and my head nods as you see me praise his name
Like SubhanAllah ta'ala
No subway surfer but I'm cruising yo
Watch my lips check that rhythm yes, yo
You'll see the flow
I'm balanced when I'm thinking bout the highest y'all
I practice and I study
Preach a message for the Al Ghaffaar
Forgiver, told my sis I'll give her
The gift of knowing you
So imma let her find you with this vocal truth

When I praise Him
When I Praise Him
Yeah yeah, yes and His Greatness
When I praise Him
(Lord, Bismillah, Alhamdulilah, Allahu Akbar)
Yeah When I praise you (Praise You)
Praise Him
Praise Him (SubhanAllah)
Praise Him (SubhanAllah)
Praise Him (SubhanAllah)
When I praise Him (Praise)
