Palu’s Birthday Praise

[Intro]
Yeah
This one for Palu
24th of March
We thank God for you, always
[Verse 1]
Little queen, first cry, I remember that
Tiny fingers, whole world in your little hand
We were scared, we were broke, but we had a plan
Put the Lord in the front, He gon’ hold our fam
First smile, first steps on the kitchen floor
You were laughin’, we were cryin’, we just wanted more
Every candle that we light, that’s another year
That He carried us through pain, brought us over fear
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Palu, lift your hands up high
Every year is a gift from the Most High
We put God first, that’s the way we ride
You the blessing that He sent, you the joy in our eyes
Happy birthday, Palu, hear your daddy say
Every breath that you take, I’ma stop and pray
We put God first, every night, each day
May His love be the light when you lose your way (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You ask questions, “Why this? Why that?” at night
I just point to the Word when I need insight
When you fall, when you fail, that’s alright, stand up
We got grace, we got faith, that’s our armor, love
When the kids all tease and your heart feel sore
You a Takahofi, baby, you were built for more
Keep your head held strong, let your heart stay soft
If the world puts you down, He will lift you up
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Palu, lift your hands up high
Every year is a gift from the Most High
We put God first, that’s the way we ride
You the blessing that He sent, you the joy in our eyes
Happy birthday, Palu, hear your daddy say
Every breath that you take, I’ma stop and pray
We put God first, every night, each day
May His love be the light when you lose your way
[Bridge]
Twenty-fourth of March, that’s a holy day
Every time it comes ‘round, we gon’ shout and praise
From the morning till the cake and the songs are done
We gon’ thank our King for our little one (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Palu, lift your hands up high
Every year is a gift from the Most High
We put God first, that’s the way we ride
You the blessing that He sent, you the joy in our eyes
Happy birthday, Palu, hear your daddy say
Every breath that you take, I’ma stop and pray
We put God first, every night, each day
May His love be the light when you lose your way (Palu)

rap, Warm gospel-trap beat with soulful piano and airy pads, male vocals rapping with melodic hooks; verses start intimate and conversational, then energy rises into a big, chantable chorus with layered family-style backing vocals and subtle church choir harmonies on the hook. 808s stay round and supportive, claps and snaps accent key lines, and a short breakdown before the final chorus lets the vocal shine for a heartfelt, thankful climax.
