Give thanks and praise to the most high Jah
Come on
I was the black sheep in the family
Mama was poor but we had enough to get by
She would say son your futures gonna be brighter
Saying son better listen good now my boy
Now that I a man I think I've been through it all
Not knowing where life is going to take me
All they say is I smoke too much marijuana
All they say is that I'm a criminal
All I know Lord that you love me
Lord I know listening to my prayers tonight
In the middle of the night when I'm saying my prayer
I feel your presence in my life that makes me wanna say ay
I will praise you Jah cocoloolooai
Trough the good times and the bad time too father
I will praise you Jah Cocoloolooai
Through the good times and the bad times too father
Now that I'm behind bars yeah
It's just so painful mama
I remember dearly the words you spoke mama yeah
And I remember the times I would make you cry
Now that you gone never to be heard mama
I'm let supposed to face life on my own
I know you love me JahJah and even
The prisoners of the rich man to the poor
You still love them so much
And still you will be there to catch me when I fall
That's why I wrote this song of praise to say thank you Father God
See my Lord I've made mistakes and now I humble come before you
Forgive me Father
I will praise you Jah cocoloolooai
Through the good times in the bad times too Father
I will praise you Jah cocoloolooai
And through the good times in the bad times too Father
