Interesting facts and trivia about Praise God. By Songfacts®.

Kanye West was raised a Christian by his single mom, but after finding success as a rapper, he edged away from his faith. In 2019, Yeezy had a spiritual transformation when he declared himself born again and started rapping about his new life in Christ. West's Donda album is full of allusions to his Christian beliefs; during this spacey track, he thanks his Lord and savior. We gon' praise our way out the grave, dawg Livin', speakin', praise God Walkin' out the graveyard back to life I serve, follow your word, see with new sight, into the night Kanye is full of gratitude to the Lord for bringing him out of his former dark way of living and into the light.

Kanye kicks off this track with his mother, Donda West, reciting part of the Gwendolyn Brooks poem "Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward (Among them Nora and Henry III)." The rapper named his album in tribute to his late mom; he includes an extract from the same speech on the title track.

The song reunites Kanye with Travis Scott. Their collaborative history dates to 2012 when Scott co-produced three of West's Cruel Summer tracks. Other hookups between the pair include Yeezy's "Champions" and "Wash Us In The Blood," and the Texan rapper's "Watch." Scott raps two brief verses here in which he talks about remaining vigilant amid life's challenges.
