Lyrics:

T-t-t… (Ha-ha) Take
(Woo!) (Woo-hoo!) (Yeah, yeah) (DC Talk)
Ow, ha-ha
Take
Ah, we goin' back home for this one now (Ooh)
T-t-t-t-take
Ah, the DC go-go jam, ha-ha
T-take
Cold gettin' busy with DC Talk (Take it out)
T-t-t-t-take

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

Take it to the Lord
Take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Wah
Take it to the Lord, y'all
Ya gotta take it to the Lord
Ha-ha
Take it to the Lord
T-take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
Ya gotta take it to the mighty Lord
Funky

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…

Take it to the Lord
Ow
Take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
Ya gotta take it to the Lord
C'mon
Take it to the Lord
T-take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
Ya gotta take it to the mighty Lord

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…

Take it to the Lord
Oh
Take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
We gotta take it to the Lord, yeah
Ha-ha
Take it to the Lord
T-take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
DC
We gotta take it to the mighty Lord

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…

Take it to the Lord
Ha
Take, take, take
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
We gotta take it to the Lord, yeah
Take it to the Lord
Go-go

Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord, y'all
We gotta take it to the Lord, yeah
Ow
