The release of this song attracted a whole lot of criticism, solely because a gospel artist featured a secular artist. After listening to this song , I couldn't help but imagine why people are more concerned about the container than the content. The song Am getting ready by Tasha Cobbs ft Nicki minaj is super amazing. Listening to the lyrics brings to mind how much God loves us irrespective of our personality. There is grace for everyone only if you believe. Nicki minaj might be who the world knows her to be but doing that song with Tasha Cobbs, I can imagine how many souls she might have influenced testifying of Gods goodness through music. Considering her influence as a star who will definitely be a role model to so many people. For me, God can preach through anyone whether human beings , animals or whatsoever. So we have to look more into the message being passed than considering how unholy the messenger is or might be, cos we could miss out on the blessings therein.

Nicki Minaj
Yo, aye yo, beach house vibes maneuver the jetski 'Cause,
'cause I serve the God that parted the red sea
Multi-million dollars commercials for Pepsi
From food-stamps to more ice than Gretzky
I don't gotta talk the Lord defends me
I watch them all fall for going against me
'Cause me and all my angels shot the devil up
While you was trying to pull me down I levelled up
I levelled up twice, I levelled up three times
He tapped 'em and told 'em: She's mine
So even when I cried I knew I'd be fine
Prepare for a miracle blessing in these times
Now praise Him, raise Him, name it, claim it
Every tongue that rise up against me, shame it
I breathe success in and out my lungs
I got the power of life and death coming out of my tongue.
(Oh oh oh, oh oh) You've got to move a little bit with that Say yeah
(Oh oh oh, oh) Oh oh, say it again, say yeah
(Oh oh oh, oh oh) It's about to be a real thing, sing yeah (Oh oh oh, oh) Oh oh oh, let somebody raise me
Say: I'm getting ready (I'm getting ready)
Ready for overflow (ready for overflow)
It's real easy, somebody declare it
Say: I'm getting ready (I'm getting ready)
What are you ready for? (Ready for overflow)
Say it again, say: I'm getting ready (I'm getting ready) Ready for overflow (ready for overflow)
It's about to be running over in my lfe, yeah (I'm getting ready) Ready for overflow (ready for overflow)
Say: oh, I'm ready (oh, I'm ready)
Are you ready for overflow? (Ready for overflow)
Say: yes, I'm ready (yes, I'm ready)
Ready for overflow (ready for overflow) Say: ready for overflow (ready for overflow)
You have to declare it up from yourselves
