[Verse 1:]
Dear you yeah you the person listening
Is God using me trying to get your attention, yeah
See he remembers the first day that he made you
Mouldin' your lungs full of breath that he gave you
Not too mention the day he saved you
Or when he opened your eyes by the Spirit Christ was raised through
Did I mention that he forgave you
And had his flesh ripped off for the sin you was enslaved to
Now it seems you too far gone
You want to turn back but you ain't sure if you'll be welcome home
So you figure you just leave it alone
But you're addicted to yourself
We both know you can't see it alone
This is an intervention, Jesus intervened
He intercedes on behalf of a sinner's deeds
This is an intervention because the Lord hurts
Before it gets worse stomach another verse
[Hook:]
Most times I pay no attention lose my direction all I chase is vanity
I forget I've been forgiven your love I've been given your grace shown me lavishly
You were born on earth on the cross you died for me forgive my depravity
Lord you are my reality
[Verse 2:]
Well cold water we drink, hot water we cook
But lukewarm does nothing it just sits and it looks
And that's you imagine these as the words of Christ
I remember you love me, I remember your light
You used to shine bright but now it's so dim
It used to be about us but now it's about them
You can't win playing hard games
But I love you even when your light's off in your dark shame
When you lay down and profane me
Or when your bloodstream contains the things that would defame me
When nobody knows that you claim me
Or when you mess your life up, get mad, and want to blame me
I still want you back, I won't punish you
I took that on the cross because I wanted you
I might discipline and chastise
But if you got what you deserved you'd be in hell with other bad guys
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
You made it this far and that's a big move
But your addiction is hurtin your other friends too
Some of them miss you, some of them dissed you
But they was hurtin, strugglin to forgive you
And they hated how addiction got the best of you
Chose a lie when God promised the best for you
If you realize you livin in sin
Just confess and realize you're forgiven of sin

[Hook: Jai]
I'm free from sin
I win! I win!
I'm free! I'm free!
And no more chains are holding me!
I'm free from death,
Got power now,
Me kill the flesh
I'm free! I'm free!
(tell the world) I'm gone... I'm gone!
[Verse 1: LeCrae]
I know when you hear this beat it sound like something to step with
But morals and music you want them separate
Like garnish on the side something ya'll don't mess with
That Christo-centric rap electric
You might like rap that's wild and wreckless
A soap box for lots young and restless
They got ya head bobbin til ya lose ya necklace
Or betta yet bobbin til it leaves you neck less
You know where death is, where no more breath is and 3rd graders learn how to leave you chestless
Where God is dissed, dismissed and distant and far from their hearts cause they hard and wicked
Sin hates God for real
That's he's rarely talked about and he don't get the mass appeal
You might see sin sharin' a meal that it eats while it cheats on the spouse out seeking a thrill
[Verse 2: LeCrae]
They walk in the church dressed flyer than sea birds, she came to see him he hopin' to see her
They motives ain't right and they heart ain't either
And over God they choose to feed they fever
See he don't understand that It's Christ who bled for
Every second glance every turn of his head yo
And she don't really get that
Jesus did that
For every time she fantasize about his six pack
They sure like Al B
To connect like his brows be
And with they bodies spit in God's face so foully
Sin so
Bad it's a liar
It's says we on the throne tells God to retire
It's says He ain't enough
And it says we want more
Is says He ain't Just and it says He ain't Lord
Sin is the laugh at his power
Rape of his mercy
Mock of his patience
It say He ain't worthy
[Verse 3: Sho Baraka]
I been duped and been schemed
Like the Lord was cool with my sinning
Mocking the cross living unrepented
My sinful life kept us so
Distant
I know Lord and been king
Let him run your life like a
Simmons
Then you'll start loving his righteousness and we start
Looking just like his kids
[Bridge: Sho Baraka]
Live free by His mercy and grace
Live free by His mercy and grace and tell the world I'm gone
Live free by His patience and peace
Live free by His patience and peace and tell the flesh I'm gone
Live free by His joy and love
Live free by His joy and love and tell the lust I'm gone
Live free by His truth and just

[Lecrae Verse 1]
Im feelin good, forget my feeling tho
Let's talk about my fillin, filled with tha Holy Ghost
And I aint talkin smoke, I'm talkin fire
I'm tryna shock the world, before they cut my wires
I'm on that overdose, old me comatose
See him let me know cause if you did you probably seen a ghost
Fire in my bones, I'm spittin flames
Boy that Word of God get at you like a Twitter name
Truth up in my veins, everyday I need it
But you don't hear me tho, you used to different speakers
They speak death and they stories aint at all the truth,
They like to think they ballers, they just some foul shooters,
Im so real 100 percent authentic
I know how fake feel i dropped him off at the clinic
Told em he need rehabilitation "gone take him" get him clean
Met that Triune Light "what's that?" triple beam
[Chorus]
Gone check him in, before they close the door
You got that Rehab, this is the overdose
I'm on that overdose, I'm on that overdose
I'm on that overdose, old me "comatose"
[Lecrae Verse 2]
They think I'm churchy, they think ya boy a lame
Yeah I live for Jesus, I'm unashamed
They talkin reckless what you 'spectin from the walkin dead
You try to give em life, they want that death instead
But 1st John make it clear what they wanna hear
Hear go that overdose, go stick it in they ear
I got my prescription, it's all consuming
Eat His Flesh drink His Blood, Holy Communion
I know the Truth is hitting home like Barry Bonds
Yeah my God run the streets like a marathon
Yes! Im'a believer Yes! I rep the Kingdom
They ask me where to find the Lord they aint never seen Him
Homie God aint got no longitude or latitude
Aye gone check him in, before they close the door
You got that Rehab, this is the overdose
[Chorus]
Gone check him in, before they close the door
You got that Rehab, this is the overdose
I'm on that overdose, I'm on that overdose

[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
[Lecrae:]
I wake up before I throw a beater on, I thank the Lord for peace, or you can say shalom.
I'm on and I'm gone out the door I'm gon' rep my home. New Jerusalem, yeah you know where we belong.
Got the Word in my heart. When the day start and the darkness wanna get us sparked up.
So I keep a guard up, cause the sin in me wanna get the best of me and have me all scarred up.
And I know I'm marked up by the Spirit still in me, fillin me up with everything I need.
Yeah I got that cheese, but I don't need a piece, I just need peace, please.
This life ain't easy matter fact it's opposite and I got the test results I'm very positive.
That's why I'm on this track with PRo because I'm posed to give some potent portions of potion proportionate to poster kids,
Of pain and suffering whose daddy never loved on them, and wouldn't know the peace of God if it was placed in from of them
And I was one of them, I don't take my life for granted
So I'm a use this day tryna share my faith and pray that seeds are planted
[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
[PRo:]
Early in the mornin A.M., you know that I thank Him 'cause He still calls me clean regardless of the mess I lay in.
My vision on the throne, clearer than Petrone, yessir I am gone, in my zone, thinking 'bout the way my Father put me on.
It's nothing but grace how He's still gives me faith and He died for the ultimate villain.
After this I obey regardless I'm chained when I should have been dead but I'm livin.
See I know when I'm wrong He won't leave me alone that's the beauty of God and His mercy.
So I'm singing this song about Him on the cross where my heart was the item of purchase.
While livin with pride so worthless.
Say they wrestle and fight but I merk it.
Whether live or down, dedicated to Christ, yessir I'm a stand on my purpose.
Put my faith in Him cause He's perfect.
Insurance like Geico, 'cause if I do not have His love I'm Norman Bates psycho.
I go hard, I still Rebel with Lecrae.
Give my whole life for the King, don't Trip just let Him Invade.
I Sho Baraka Obama this peace is more than just worth it, so call Tedashii tell him Identity Crisis averted.
[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
24/7 all the time, yeah I'm on my grind, dyin' everyday I'm tryin', rhyme, hope to save they lives,
Peace what I got, I feel released from the knots sin bound me in but Jesus had the keys to the locks.
Life is boot camp, yeah I know the drill, flesh kill, but His will, it's with His peace that I'm filled and it's real.
Earth is not my home, while I roam and roam, got the Lord up on my dome restin' in that new shalom.
See it goes C.H.R.I.S.T. G.O.D. His spirit inside of me.
And without his L.O.V.E. I'm another lost soul so obviously,
When I drank the Livin' Water that's nothing more than a product of the grace through faith that I found in Him,
The love He gives could accurse of sin, why should I ever give in?
So chase that money, get your wrist coders, refrigerators, I will be an outcast 'til he raise me up elevator
Me and you, yo momma, yo cousin, my brother, pray we never sell our soul for a chance to be stuntin' 'cause everything that's good in me the Lord He's done it, run it.
[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom

[Hook (Rudy Currence):]
When it's all said and done
You and I are the lucky ones
We fought many
And we'll fight the night until we see the sun
We are the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones
We are here
[Verse 1 (Lecrae):]
Under the sun, I found we were left to drown
Evil abounds, weight is pullin' us down
No sight or sound, impaired to His care
Chasing after the wind, running after the air
Deserving of desertion, servants of destruction
And everyday we taste of a grace that we're unconcerned with
My sin I should be burned with, I'm guilty, filthy, and stained
But He became a curse, drank my cup and took my pain
And for that he reigns, through faith I'm changed
And I don't have a reason why he loosened up my chains
I don't believe in luck; I believe in Grace
But they say we're lucky cause we seen your face
And we heard Him call us, and He heard our answer
And He gives us second chances when we throw our hands up
So weary and broken, hopin' His arms will be open
Unconditional love has got us locked into focus
(I guess we the luck ones, huh?)
[Hook]
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
You're greater than my shame, guilt, my doubt, and my past
Fortunate to trust in you cause I've doubted your plans
I've questioned your ways, every question I raised
Is foolishness compared to mountains, the wind, and the waves
You're so mindful of us, we rise from the dust
You love these cheating, beating hearts and these eyes full of lust
Gave us power to fight it, though we cower in quiet
We have the faith to start a riot; how can we deny it?
Fire inside us that you kindle when it starts to dwindle
And simply put I'm sinful so your love is essential
I don't believe in luck, no, I believe in Grace
But they say we lucky cause we seen your face
Lord, we heard you call us, You heard our answer
And you give us second chances when we throw our hands up
I'm weary and broken, but your arms will be open
Unconditional love has got us locked into your focus
[Bridge (Rudy Currence):]
See, I'm not sayin' I'm always right
And I ain't sayin' that I'm perfect
And I know I don't deserve it
But I'm glad I got this life
I'm glad that I got it
And it makes me a lucky one

I've been treating this part of life like a dance floor
Side stepping all the things I've made plans for
And I ain't acting when I'm taking on the man's roles
Chance to enhance the fam can be a handfull
I rather have my hands full than be empty-handed
Travel all around the planets till I have it planted
Grow roots like great grand pap, married 65 years, 20 kids, same family
Strong as an ox and I'm from the same stock
So I'll won't be hanging out 'till I see the sun o'clocks
It's been a long time coming but I'm coming at a decent hour
Everything I've have is ours start the wedding shower
Teeball games in the summer ballet in the winter
And I ain't scrolling through my twitter while we having dinner
Time to grow up, done drank until I throw up
Neglected little man for my plans, try'n to blow up
Some people are so focused on the road to success
They don't see their whole family laying dead on the tracks.
I rather seize to have my lyrics spread over tracks
And put some family photos on the walls instead of plaques.
It's been a long time coming, but we're here now
Look
I remember watching videos by Hype Will
Thinking I could do that if I had a nice deal
But the precedent is MC's dead believe
They take the same exit that Mason Betha did
Cause when you're talking steal then ya sound hard
But they let you out ya deal when you found God
Back to watching Hype Will, think about how I feel
Wishes spitting Christian wasn't God's will
It's been a long time running, long time wondering
Long time humming stupid songs that I hated
From a rapper that I felt was overrated
'Cause I knew that he was faking but he everybody's favorite
Coming with that same "ha" had an 808 hit
Bricks that weight lift, chicks that is naked
I'm in my house studyin' the scripts that is sacred
If this a success recipe I ain't gonna make it
So many reasons not to. I only graduated high school
I'm from a small little city that they fly through, but never fly to
Just a plain town tryin' to be fly too
A town rapper, we backed down never
So I'm bout to take my hood up like Trayvon
Fi'n to hold my hood down like your favorite mob
Ventilate some hood, now I'm with the favorite march.
Walk up with the king boy I'm about to Pharoah march.
Red Sea is my favorite part.
The Lord opened up a new avenue
In the street, got the dove award and we passin through.
Church clothes on the mic spitting what your pastor do
Looking at the world through our Master's view.
Offer you the optic codes, keep this glasses, too.
On vying for the king, but we're cold rappers, dude.

Listen
I think they think they know me, I think they think they get it
Some holy water, crucifix 'n mix it with some lyrics
But this ain't that and that ain't rap, we're going in lock the front door
if I ain't back
They feelin you, Crae, it's cool, I'm respected, but I won't be a slave to
acceptance
I got my co-sign from the master, so maranatha
They like the flow, oh they go'n love the message
(For real?)
Nah, I'm sure that they'll reject it, but that's what they supposed to do
Don't wanna see, they opposing views
Say they married to the game but mayne they souls stay itchin'
She never hit the spot, I guess that's why they call her misses
My snap back fitted, the choir robe didn't
And I don't play church, partna, this is what I'm living
Hey Bun call from Texas, told me Crae, I get it,
You are no impostor, you spit it how you live it
Them inmates tellin me keep spittin 'n don't quit it
Cause when that music play they ain't worried about the sentence
25 to life boy the dead has risen, so tell Sing Sing, the king is coming
back to get 'em.
I'm so reckless with my message I don't care tho, call me a weirdo, but I'm
an heirloom
And if I say it, then I mean what I say, boy I live for the truth and I die
for the way.
And when that inspiration hit me I write it, while try to fight it
If I'm thinking too hard, don't try it, they'll never buy it.
And if they don't buy it, they don't buy it, okay, I get it.
They want inherited wealth, so I'm giving them the business
You are not your momma, your daddy, whatever happened
You are not the product of all of yo life's misshappnins
That is just a lie that you tell yourself when it's tragic
But I believe in miracles, I don't believe in magic.
Made in His image, most of y'all don't hear me
Looking for identity in the things that you givin
The gift, not the giver mayne it's cold in the winter
When you face your life existence stop looking like you's a winner
That S class Mercedes, Bugatti, yeah that Bentley
Won't fit up in my coffin when I die, can't take em with me.
But still I let em tempt me, and show me what I'm worth
But none of then can solve my problems or my hurt.
Reject me
This is not the first time I'm far from just gettin my feet wet
And this is won't be the last time I tell the world about your love and
they tell me I'm a reject
Yeah, they look at me like a reject
Go and treat me like a reject
Cause if it's how they treated the King, then for Christ sake

[Intro:]
Who's got the power?
[Verse 1 (Pro):]
The key to life: money, power, respect
Louie this, Gucci that, two private jets
Big money, big business, watch that paper stack
Treat life like a game, it ain't pool but I'm racked
Up, big bucks, no whammys
I swear I prolly lump somebody head for a Grammy
My heart black as the Lambo Kim bought for Kanye
And I ain't fronting, I'm just telling ya'll what God say
Blood thirsty
Seek my own will since the day that Adam cursed me
The lust for power go to ya' brain if you let it
You say, "What up dog?" I hear "god." I'm so dyslectic
Sit on the throne, it's really a toilet, heart is septic
I have no power, I get handed death, I must accept it
It's hard to see the light when you never listen
Our whole life's blacked out, the power's tripping
[Hook (Lecrae):]
Who's got the power?
Do you really want it all, whole world in ya' palm? Tell me,
Who's got the power?
It'll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin'
Who's got the power?
Do you really want it all, whold world in ya' palm? Tell me,
Who's got the power?
It'll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin'
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
It was all a dream
I grew up readin' hip-hop magazines
Double-XL got me wanton to excel
They tellin' me it ain't hard to tell, I rock well
And now with every sale I'm feelin' my head swell
Well, I'm a genius in my dreams
Even if I was, it was stitched inside my genes
I'm self-inflated, self-infatuated
And somehow I convinced myself I finally made it
The truth is I was made like the mob
Geppetto put me together; my strings lead to God
Pride come befo' the fall, I seen it in the script
So if you see me fallin', prolly a power trip
[Hook]
[Verse 3 (Sho Baraka):]
Welcome to the culture where humility is not allowed
They do it big, if you don't see that, you Shallow Hal
Tryna show them how love and power, it goes together
If they call us losers, that just means we last forever
I been connected to the power, I don't have to chase it
I roll with the Trinity, this is sorta the Matrix
A hard pill to swallow: we're evil to the core
Wicked power exploits the poor, and it brings war
Power can be a field of dreams loaded with land mines
We know the ruler so you can't say these are bad lines
(You might lust for that power! ), but don't forget that we're forgiven
I know the Lord gon' catch me when I'm power trippin'
[Verse 4 (Andy Mineo):]
Who made the crowd put they hands in the sky? Me.
Who made the sky with they hands? What if y'all can't see?
This is kinda strange, God makes the weather change
And we braggin' up on our change like "look how we make it rain!"
We Invictus, this sin sickness is in us
Running a muck and causing that mischief, tell me this then, "Who could really fix us?"
I'm, trippin' to think that I'm really not limited in this position in sitting in,
Gravity pulling me back to earth gradually, reality's hittin'

(feat. Cam)

Chorus:

(chorus)

(And they say) You only live once so live it up tonight
I hope we live twice cause I can't wait to give up this life
Don't get me wrong I love my fam and my experience
Been around the world and back seven wonders I done seen 'em
Number eight is just us wonderin what happens when we perish
And I don't want no regrets I'm a tell the ones I cherish
That I love 'em thinking of 'em on this red eye flight to Paris
If I die before I wake at my wake please tell my parents
That your son will positively wake in paradise
Life is like a pair of dice so watch the ones you rollin with
Roll the clip of my life you gon' see a bunch of empty bottles
Broken hearts and blurry nights, Facebook likes and twitter follows
I'm not livin for today cause tomorrows looking pleasant
And the future is a gift even though this is the present
Yea I do believe in heaven but my actions ain't the key
Them gates remain locked if everything follow me
So let em know that when I come to the end of my road
And they ask me was it worth it
The hurting, the pain, and the life I chose
I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
I'll tell 'em I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart
heartbeat
And I die with no regrets
You not a leader cause they follow you on twitter
And you not a man based up on your age and your gender
If you die tonight you'll probably die a boy
Chasing toys objectifying these women thinkin they gon' bring you joy
Don't you want more than last night's braggin rights
What's yo life?
I know it's hard to think about underneath these flashing lights
Scratch the surface money's worthless when it comes to finding purpose
If you keep the end in focus you can't keep it when it's over
And when it's over there's something else starts
Only thing that's really gon' matter is that hope inside your heart
What you trusting in what you lusting in
For that busty momma that's strutting in
And you popping bottles you throwing dollars
That's cool but partner this just in
That you gon' live forever whether you want to or not
Some of us gon' end up holy some of us gon' end up hot
Tell this life to keep my problems kiss my momma when I'm gone
Tell her I have no regrets and I'm home I'm home
So let em know that when I come to the end of my road
And they ask me was it worth it
The hurting, the pain, and the life I chose
I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
I'll tell 'em I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart
heartbeat

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]
Awakened from my slumber by the thunder, lightning clapping
Raining on my window pane and praying I make something happen
A preacher's prophecies never bothered me when I was younger
Sitting on my Grandma's lap, as she cried I often wondered
What was her tears for? Could it be for my grandfather?
Or maybe she felt for me cause I'll see more of those cold tomorrows
Then she see the world will up and turn on me
Cause the morals that she often spoke were meant for 1923
I fall asleep off in her arms, a Psalm was spoken
The Lord is surely my shepherd, he lead me to the water
Thought that often stuck with with me
Amongst the wolves that run the streets
Out here paying dues to lose
I pray your angels come for me
A non-believer I never have or could be
Lord give me time to peep the signs I should see
Sipping got me feeling like a player riding clean
Bending corners hoping I might find my saviour on the curb
I rarely go to Church
False prophets rocking Prada so I rarely feel the word
Jezebels lurking in the pews on the first
Preacher's weaker than the deacon cause it's hard to fight the urge
It's hard to live and serve when you on the Devil's turf
Sell your soul for the low with no sense of what it's worth
Don't get it twisted, I ain't no saint, I ain't no pastor
I pray just for cloudy days and natural disasters
Aware of what comes after, I bet you ain't for sure
I was warned that Heaven ainn't the only place to go
I'm doing what I can cause there really ain't much time
I leave this in the Lord hands
I'm tired of crying
[Hook: Ashthon Jones]
Man down
Hope and pray and
Don't you be another (Man down)
Hope and pray and say (Man down)
Help is just one prayer away
Don't be afraid to say

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]
Awakened from my slumber by the thunder, lightning clapping
Raining on my window pane and praying I make something happen
A preacher's prophecies never bothered me when I was younger
Sitting on my Grandma's lap, as she cried I often wondered
What was her tears for? Could it be for my grandfather?
Or maybe she felt for me cause I'll see more of those cold tomorrows
Then she see the world will up and turn on me
Cause the morals that she often spoke were meant for 1923
I fall asleep off in her arms, a Psalm was spoken
The Lord is surely my shepherd, he lead me to the water
Thought that often stuck with with me
Amongst the wolves that run the streets
Out here paying dues to lose
I pray your angels come for me
A non-believer I never have or never could be
Lord give me time to peep the signs I should see
Sipping got me feeling like a player riding clean
Bending corners hoping I might find my saviour on the curb
I rarely go to Church
False prophets rocking Prada so I rarely feel the word
Jezebels lurking in the pews on the first
Preacher's weaker than the deacon cause it's hard to fight the urge
It's hard to live and serve when you on the Devil's turf
Sell your soul for the low with no sense of what it's worth
Don't get it twisted, I ain't no saint, I ain't no pastor
I pray just for cloudy days and natural disasters
Aware of what comes after, I bet you ain't for sure
I was warned that Heaven ain't the only place to go
I'm doing what I can cause there really ain't much time
I leave this in the Lord hands
I'm tired of crying
[Hook: Ashthon Jones]
Man down
Hope and pray and say I can't turn
He will find you, this world will grind you down
Don't you be another (Man down)
Hope and pray and sayin' you can't turn (Man down)
Help is just one prayer away
Don't be afraid to say

Where would I be if I never met your love
Can't imagine ever gettin up
Without knowin your grace how you placed me in your righteousness
I can't get enough
Unconditional love is what you show me
In a world so cold and lonely
And the life that I'm livin was givin not based on me
But based on the fact you know me
You... interceeded on my behalf
You... gimme everything that I have
You... never leave me alone my sins I been told
Cause you can no longer take on my wrath
You been so true so faithful
For your word I'm so grateful
Your love is true
And not what they showing on cable, and I'm
So in love with your righteousness I fight to just
Keep you in my sight for just
Five seconds of my life since the day I met Christ
Never knew a love quite like this, I'm writin this
With tears on my face you was there for my grace
Cause a father wouldn't hear my case
I was dead in my sins but you bled for my sins
That's the best kind of love anybody can taste
Only your love can save somebody like me
Only your love can truly set the whole world free
And I'm so in love
With everything about you Jesus
Only your love, your love, your love
Only your love, your love, your love
Verse 2 Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Love me Lord you sho do
I done lied and cheated and cheated and lied
And treated the lies as if they was true but
Metaphorically you broke my legs
Like a sheppard does his sheep when it misbehaves
Not to hurt me but to work me
Into the man that you need me to be today, And it's sweet to say
Even when I'm doin back I'm good
Work for the Lord I'm glad I could
Tell me you would give the son and die for the sins of the world
My daddy would
That's a love like no other
Not my father not my mother not my sister not my brother nope not at all
Forget material things, I got every spiritual blessing in Christ
Eternal life, ya I got it all
Fall deeper in love with u everyday
No longer there so I know you hear me when I pray
And you show me your wisdom in many ways
66 books to keep me amazed
Only your heavenly love can manifest
In the death and resurrection
Your affection is sheer perfection
Divine election, you give me direction
Only your love can save somebody like me
Only your love can truly set the whole world free
And I'm so in love
With everything about you Jesus
Only your love, your love, your love
Only your love, your love, your love
Only your love can save somebody just like me
Was tempted just like me
But never gave in unlike me
I'm blown away
I never understood the kinda love that
Make somebody die for our world
Who doesn't even care that you cry for the world
Who doesn't care that you gave your life for the world
We do you dirty Lord, we not worthy Lord
Of your goodness and your mercy Lord
It hurts me that we remain to flirt with life that we got, to my Christ
So earthy Lord
Your love you know it rains
One day we'll see it plain
That to live as Christ and to die is gain
So keep all the fortune forget the fame man
We need the love of Jesus
Ha, that name Jesus
I could say it all day, I be in a daze
Your love is amazin like man Jesus
Your love's true and sincere
I reference you in fear
And as long as I'm around I'm down
To make sure the peopl hear
Only your love can save somebody like me
Only your love can truly set the whole world free
And I'm so in love with everything about you Jesus
Only your love, your love, your love

Homie I seen two much to drink them two cups
Can't lean on the lean already way too screwed up
Was way to gone I was way to cold
Fifty yard hail mary I was way to thrown

High on them trees when I gorilla'd the beast
Then that truth came hit me got me outta my grave
All my partners say I'm changed

However I seen them boys mane take that bar and wait for God's sake
Beastie boy he still took three the hard way
Toss me out heart away crucifix no jewelry
Just wooden beams he took from me
Took 'em up to Calvary while I was a DGK
Wiling out to UGK runnin from the HPD

I know this might be a shock but
I'mma blow your'e spot up
Truthfully in Grace and out of Love, aint trying to pop stuff
Heard ya pops locked up
Baby sister's knocked up
All your old boys from the block are getting shot up
I feel your pain homey
I got the same story
But since you came to Christ you got to bring His name Glory
No more living in the darkness
No more living heartless
Cause you got that Holy Spirit dwelling inside your carcass
Your life's been changed up
Rearranged up
You've been reborn and you don't have to do the same stuff
You live regenerate
You get the benefit of Christ crucified
But you got to live in it
God is preeminent
And forgiveness is unlimited but stop! and...
[Chorus]
Represent! Get Krunk! Represent!
Get Krunk! If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up.
Represent! Get Krunk! Represent!
Get Krunk! If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up.
Represent! Get Krunk! Represent!
Get Krunk! If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up.
Represent! Get Krunk! Represent!
Get Krunk! If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up.
From the flats to the drops to burbs
Calling out to the cats who be dropping the word
Who be representing Christ
Not ashamed to share his life
Catching flack for his props in the world
To the cats that represent Him well while putting the Cross on the move
As they reaching for the cats who steppin into to hell while they flossing new shoes
Packin gats and flossin new coupes
Making hoodrats doin' the do
Acting a fool
But the jigga that figures pullin the trigger with vigor can make him bigger needs to get in with the Cox Grave Digger
Cause you live a life sin thats the wages of death
If you livin by the gun that's the way into debt
But if you living the life and living it right
Put your fist in the sky with all of your might til you way out of breath
Chest pumping all hard due to heavy palpitations
Thirsting for the Lord with Heavy salivation
But you aint fraud you'll pull a sinners card cause you love the Lord and His habit of of salvation repping like Steven
Getting stoned for the stone you believe in or slinging the stone into the dome of the heathen Philistine men

[Verse:]
I'm sick of being sick (sick)
Sick of being tired (yeah)
When it comes down to the wire
I should just retire
Because I've been rewired
Had a bad connection
Now I got full bars (what's that?)
Good reception
Yeah, I've been received
I used to be deceived
Don't let my thoughts run wild
Even though my mind is free (yes)
And I'm coming home
Back where I belong
Racked up a lot of charges (yeah)
Outgrown and on my own
They say when in Rome do as the Romans do
But I found when I do that I die like Romans too
Yeah, I'm reading Romans 2 (What's it say)
Your words are on my heart (truth)
But I ain't got no excuse (no)
It's time to play my part
Yeah, so better get up (yeah)
It's time to hit the road (let's go)
Been rehabilitated
Rest for my weary soul
Cause yeah my life control
Death had my life on hold
A strong addiction to myself is all that's been unfolded
I would live for me
I made myself an altar
I sacrificed myself
For lust I was a martyr
For pride I gave my heart up
Now my heart's been changed
Made a deep incision
You made a heart exchange
Tore down all my idols
Now help me fight to live
Moment after moment
My life is yours to give
Able to forgive
Your love is my only hope
Without it I'm left empty
Looking for ways to cope
Was doped up, coped up, now I woke up
I used to date destruction
But now we broke up
And I get choked up
I'm drowning in your grace
Who would have thought that red cross would rehabilitate? (yeah)
[Hook:]
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home
I'm coming home tonight
I'm coming home tonight
[Chorus:]
Yeah (Because) I was living my life away (away)
Not knowing that I was making my home a grave
(I was) Killing myself
(Slowly) wasting away
(Just) moments from death
Taking lust in my vein
But I stopped living my life today (today)
Cause I found a sponsor who can show me His way
(So I'm) packing my bags
(And I'm) hitting the road
(Putting my) foot on the gas
You know I'm coming, coming home
[Hook:]
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home

Yeah, I got a question, after the show, after the set, after the music stops, what's next? Are we just writing songs or are we concerned with uniting a people to follow the great commission of Christ.
Yeah let's get it, let's go...
Back in the day I was a lunch line rapper, after that I guess I was a punch line rapper, then I got saved and sometime after, ya boy came back as a frontline rapper, and when I say the frontlines, that's not a front line, I'm out here preachin' Christ on the frontlines, and no it ain't about rockin' stages 'cause some of my engagements are out on the pavement yeah.
I'm out to take the bible, create disciples, who make disciples, disciple-cycles, that's why I want the beats to knock so after the music stops you can meet the Rock I pray, that you would know him well, this is like show and tell, it's more than a show, I'm showing you Emmanuel,
So yeah I'm hopin' that you're likin' the flow but it's only so you could know that God I'm writing it for... let's go...
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your Bibles after the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops.
I recorded a couple songs some fast some slow, so the listeners would know the importance of the show, the importance of the show not to excite these folks but make God's truth relevant, ignite these folks.
Discipleship is our call but we make disciples, this is not a suggestion, create disciples. The teachin' is a process, it's not overnight and it's not a stage and a mic nah, it's life on life Christ -
Walked with twelve, ate with twelve, talked with twelve, shaped the twelve, invested in 'em well you could say that he made the twelve. Who made many more, who made plenty more, now it's on you and me if there's anymore.
1 teach, 2 teach, 3 teach, 4 teach, 5 teach, 6 teach, 7 teach more, this is what we've been commissioned, it's the reason why I write, so that you could hear the truth, not so you can say I'm tight whoa...
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your Bibles after the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops.
So, we write this for the right the speak of was righteous, and then we mic check for a culture who likes the hypeness. Some say we keep it crunk, some say we hype man; we just wanna pump the resurrection of the Christ man.
We in the -burbs and the hoods that's hostile, we share a common view like synoptic Gospels and you know we keep a couple young dudes around us and teach 'em the same truth God used to ground us.
This is a lifestyle so, when the mic's down I pray people follow Christ when they turn the lights down. I pray that everybody playin' this song will be challenged by everything I had to say in this song.
I don't do this for the money, I don't do this for fame, I don't do this so the industry can know my name, I do this in hopes to glorify Yeshua the King, if you're feelin' me you know you should be doin' the same let's go...
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your Bibles after the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?

Father God, I'm prayin' to you for somebody, who knows you Lord but just hasn't, hasn't been seein' you in the right view lately, Hear me out...
Father, I'm prayin' for a friend he and I are pretty close, and out of all my friends for this one I'm concerned the most. He say he readin' daily but he ain't really learnin'. He been in church but say that he ain't moved by any sermon. His face weak, he ain't prayed in a week, he wake up and just weep with his face in the sink Lord, you gotta help my man, I'm prayin' for him daily, he ain't sinned but it just seem as if he goin' crazy. He say he feelin' trapped, can't even hit up the mall coz every lady's half-dressed temptin' him to lust and fall. He keep the TV off, videos just make him feel that he ain't really nothin' without money, girls and shiny wheels. The other day he told me that he felt less a man coz he ain't have a five-year plan or a piece of land and man it's crazy coz his family think so much of him, plus he got a godly wife who always showin' love for him but he's strugglin', even though he talk to me, I tell him what to do but he don't listen when he oughta' be. I'm scared for him coz there's people that look up to him, he got some younger siblings who been changed by what he's done for them but is it done for him, Lord don't let it be, if he don't wanna talk to you then Father hear from me, is it done for him, Lord don't let it be, if he don't wanna talk to you then Father hear from me...
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you...
God, his condition is worsen since we were last conversing and I'm with him now and he ain't doin' well and this I'm certain. He say he tryna' trust you, doesn't wanna disgust you but he was in the mist of sinners and did not discuss you and just today his anxiety's got the best of him, he knows Christ but for hours refuse to rest in Him, he's not the best of men but Lord I know he really loves you and I can't understand why lately he's not thinkin' of you. People trust this dude, you could crush this dude, Father he needs more of you I pray you touch this dude, what can I say to him? I'm determined to pray for him Father empty and brake him I pray you'll just have your way with him, coz there's a change in him and the effects are strong, I pray you open up his heart before the next song and when he gets home, I pray he'll open up the sixty-six book love letter you wrote and soak it up coz he ain't hearin' You and he ain't feelin' me and God I know it's killin' You because it's killin' me and matter of fact there's somethin' else he's concealin' see, the person that I've been prayin' about is really me...
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, I'm prayin' for you

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I'll probly never be the type to spend two bucks on fine dutch
But I wan touch hearts [?]
I come to do what the Lord say
Got my lifestyle flipped to fit His forte yeah
I'm up early like moms and grits
Getting fed daily bread 'til my mind is script'd
And my rhymes intent is to point straight at the cross
Without using clever lines and [?]
I know you'd probably be impressed if I cleverly used my melody
To share Christ without using His name heavily
But I'd rather be saying His name so much you could never get me confused
Or discredit me
'Cause I don't wanna do this, I used to be a Judas
It's only Christ in me that got me tryin to make it through this
I'm givin up time, givin up rhyme
'Cause it ain't about me getting mine dog I'm nothing
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
Ain't nothing sweet about me dog but Christ within
Prior to that your boy lived a life of sin
If you catch me givin up money so folks can eat
It's really God working through me dog
I'm not that sweet
And there ain't a bone in me that's naturally good
And without the fruit of the spirit I'm actually hood
Basically it ain't nothing great in me
But graciously my God likes replacin me
With His own characteristics traits and things
The wages earned from sin He erased them things
And gave me a new family tree
That the creator of creation hisself related to me
So if it seem like I shine bright in the limelight
Or I might think I'm tight man it's a lie right?
I'm gritty like J-Silas guess my worth
Man without Christ Jesus I'm less than dirt. I'm nothing
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
Cats say they gon' change the game
This is Christian rap, why they barely using the savior's name
Got flows saying they rhyme is tight
Christ gave us breath to spit God gave us the mind to write
We don't deserve to shine, naw We just clay
I just came to lift up Christ and not what's my name
When I drop this flow it might sound ridiculous
But Christ smack dab in the middle so conspicuous
Homey it's not clever word play is not what the Word say
Christ in Him crucified all day e'ry day
But have it your way and blab your name
And Christ died you just trying to grab the fame
It's nothing but sound bites nothing but loud pipes
Speakin in vane man we nothing without Christ
We should use our last breath to rep the King Jesus
You shouldn't have to know our name after we leave here
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
It's nothing at all, It's Christ inside that's
Got me spittin on the mic tonight
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing

Help me to pray in faith.
Lean in upon Your will.
Strengthen me with conviction.
Show me the sins that kill.
Nothing exceeds Your power.
Nothing too great a task.
Never too much to hope for.
Nothing too small to ask.
Wisdom is unsurpassed.
Begging to see Your face.
Itching to see Your glory.
Burning for Your grace.
All I know is I want it.
People don't understand.
They never tasted anything.

Fillin' these 58′s with phrases that would deem us unfit to succeed among
these heathens.
It's so crucial in the belly of the crucible that you would understand that
stage like your morning candle.
It's handin' out cancer that's why fame was never the aim and the back is
the front – homie left side up!
That's a concept
Misconception
Those deadly habits have me losin' my cool...
It's what your frame of mind has chosen.
I'll leave your brain stimulated...
So many mis... conceptions- missin' the mark- mis-directed- drivin'
reckless and aggressive
Fueled by our false perceptions- our methods need corrections-
Spittin venom in their face and violate the ones we should protect it's an
attempt to motivate
Neglect our obligations place the blame on someone else point out the flaws
in other people and take the focus off ourselves
Those who have been abused – view leadership as illegitimate so they
don't think it's necessary to play by the rules or submit
They see authority as nothin' more than a power-trip – they don't want to
be plugged into it
They'd rather see that power stripped – get it? Power strip... It's
unfortunate
Disproportionate the door is wide open for false teachers to twist the
truth and distort it
No examples left to follow left to our demise actin' foolish but can't see
it so we're wise in our own eyes
The life and crucifixion of Christ is a beautiful depiction of service and
submission – within a leadership position
You probably have it all figured out, right? Like your the type that
believes that if you act right then that just might make you righteous in
God's sight
You've been a really good person, you followed the good book as much as you
could, you probably didn't go to church as much as you should, but it's all
good
I mean you never really killed anybody, never really steal from anybody,
you never lusted much, or did much, touching of any bodies.
You never use the Lord's name in vain, and you respect you neighbor, you
try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to anger
You really believe that you could receive God's favor by your good deeds
and right behavior
But you're dead in your transgressions and need a savior
Cause you could never win God's approval with the removal of sinful
discretions – your righteous acts of removing God's wrath is in fact the
biggest misconception...
Since my conception I've been riddled with deception
Televised lies devised to lead a blind insurrection
Against the resurrection - and the greatest misconception the world
believes the Christian is foolish without direction.
And they knock it they knock it but what does it profit a prophet to be
socially ostracizing no we ain't stoppin' the mocking
But if there is anything I can do to raise the stock in the market for a
Biblical worldview then there's no longer an option
Here with the humble beast, ain't no subtleties, ain't no tongue in cheek,
this is what I mean, they don't understand anything about the faith I
believe, and they want to belittle me
But it's cool though. They just know the pseudo, the fake faith, the false
one, the western God that's man made, not the Biblical Awesome
Toss em' – Pick up the Reasons for God by Timothy Keller and read it,

Right now I wanna say how much you've changed my ways, when I look back on yesterday. It's been a long journey, for the lessons I'm still learning but I can't forget the difference you made.
I could have been sleeping in my grave, but you reached down from heaven and made a way, it's so amazing how you changed my fait and all I can say is...
You're faithful, to me, even when I've made mistakes you've always kept me I'm, grateful to thee coz you kept me in perfect peace and it's more than I could ask for.
You're faithful, to me, even when I've made mistakes you've always kept me I'm, grateful to thee coz you kept me in perfect peace and it's more than I could ask for.
The world makes promises that it can't really keep, it'll always let you down. It's only temporary, only preliminary but your love, it reaches all bounds.

Verse 1: You know I'm still on a mission, man, I'm still gon' be spittin 'til I spill my intentions and you got saved and was reppin'. Then you strayed from the message, now you stay half-steppin boy. It's real. Yeah, people still dyin, still cryin on the inside, Satan still lyin. Still tryna show the world how coo you is. Aint' got a clue about whose you is. Get wit' the program, let 'em know, man. It's willing to fear, it's never been a show man. It ain't about hot beats and a flow man. But when you go, tell me where you gon' go man. Is it the world or Christ? The girls and ice. Five minutes of fame or eternal life? Who u wit? Choose correctly. Think who protects me? When I reject him, who accepts me?
Hook: Who u wit? Are you in it to win man? Are you livin' in sin or are you livin' through him man? Who u wit? Can't walk the fence y'all. It's God or the world 'cause the two don't mix y'all. Who u wit? What you need in life? The world can't give it to you. What you need is Christ. Who u wit? If you know who you serve, and you roll with the word, and you so sincerr.
Verse 2: A lot of people live for the moment, they want it, they gotta flaunt it, they worship the money and the fast life. You hear 'em on the radio and see 'em on TV in the sleazy scenes and then they wanna thank Christ. Man, I'm not above that. I see 'em in my backyard. Dudes act hard, but I know they really lack God. They don't know that God is holy. He oppose the proud, but exalt the lowly. That's why I'm rollin' wit' Him. My soul is wit' him. My treasure's are up in Heaven. Yeah, my gold is wit Him. Go wit God or just don't go. You either watered down or you just don't know. And I'ma say this straight so you do, man, it's true what they say. Ain't no maps to Heaven. It's only one way. You heard it all of your life. The word is right. If you ain't servin' Christ, then turn tonight.
Hook

H-Town, yeah
Welcome to H-Town
They say the boy's ridin' clean
But what I became, what does it really mean
Cup full of lean, got a sweet for the green
Wake up, boy this ain't a dream
Welcome to H-Town
Fell in love with a harsh road at my auntie house
Dipping with my kin folks, then spoke, okay
I candy paint sexy, as we're tipping under city lights
Got them boys flexing, baby, every time we pimp the ride
Grippin' wood grain, always sipping good, man
We was down' for whatever, wished somebody would mayne
Intice me with them vices, yeah man, looking pretty like a bad yellow bone
While I'm dipping through the city. Th-Th-Throw it in the game is going
down, I'm yelling mayday!
It's like the world stood still while we bought them gray tapes.
Ch-chop chop screwed, I just-I just act a fool is got me wondering what's
next, baby, when this life is through
I was born in H-Town, starched down way back
When the slabs in the city beat the Screw up in the back
Poking out, keep them spinners, eating Frenchies chicken dinner
Family came from 3rd Ward Scott Street on up to Ennis
Hanging out on Sunnyside with my cousin Corey
They was on that purple Sprite, I was feeling sipping 40s
Can you still pimpin' stories as I'm passing by Yates
Stop and wonder if I'll ever have 'stakes
I told my cousin D at TSU "I smoke trees,
I think the Lord is calling me, both of us are agree"
And, man, I love the city of my birth, that's why I plea
That God will change the H, same way He's changing me!
Cause all I cared about was riding clean
A packet full of green, and find a bad yella
I can put up on my team
My bro is riding dirty, know your soul ain't clean
Aye gon' let the Lord intervene!
Welcome to H-Town
I'm praying for H-Town
Yeah, yeah
Welcome to H-Town
I had a dream on the plane that I was sitting in the slabs
Seat back, face up, chunkin deuce and givin dap
Talking to my patnas 'bout this plans that I have
When I told them "Oklahoma" mayne them boys just laughed, like
"Where there at, folk? " "man, you've been joking" "yeah, you, but you
ain't get dope"
It's like they didn't understand me I've been that hope trying to serve
God.
They want me serve the things with that dope, but that's when we flat broke
Pass the kill. And as I got higher, that's when I started to feel "dog,
we're smoking kill"
I backed away from the killa, He picked up my life and my vision got
clearer
Destiny is screamin it's fate, but I hear her, things are bad right now
But the man in the mirror is trying to make a change, rearrange some things
H-Town, I still love you, hold up, mayne
Now what ya know about them Texas boys?
N-N-Now what ya know about them Texas boys?
Now what ya know about them Texas boys?
Now what ya know about them Texas boys?
Welcome to H-Town
Yeah, Yeah
Welcome to H-Town
Whoa, Yeah
They said the boys ridin clean,
Fresh up on the scene
But when I began, what does it really mean?
Cup full of lean, got a sweet full of green
Wake up, boy this ain't a dream
Welcome to H-Town
Yeah, Yeah
Welcome to H-Town
I'm praying for H-Town

[Verse One]
I'm not the standard at all and wouldn't claim to be
But since Christ snatched me up theres been a lot of change in me
I got my world view corrected; I see things eternal
Yeah I've got a whole new perspective
I don't use drugs or sell
I keep acountabilty cause my flesh...yeah it loves to fail
I don't go where I used to go
I got my number changed twice for the girls that I used to know
I don't trip when I pass the cops
cause I'm not making assists; you know trying to pass the rock
I don't live life scared of death
cause when I take my last breath
The next step is there in text
I'm not a legalist and I aint hatin'
but there's things I don't and won't do; yeah I read Galatians
And I keep reading Ephesians if it's Christ we believe in
We should't be confused with the heathens
[Chorus]
You gonna ride with us?
Nah I don't do that there!
You gettin' high with us?
Nah I don't do that there!
You wanna hit a lick (theft)?
Nah I don't that there!
Get a couple chics?
Uh Unh I don't do that there!
[Verse Two]
Man I don't trip of coppin' whips
If it aint a DVD you won't catch me pop in clips.
I aint worried chains or shoes
My God's thinkin' bout whether to change the city sky from Greys to blues
I don't care about the famous names
Cause when Christ comes back a lot of folks will be nameless man
and I aint worried about speakin his name
cause if it wasn't for Christ yeah we'd all be sinkin in flames
I don't even wanna "change the game"
Your'e favorite rapper got saved last night
Yeah that's the aim
The world wer'e livin in is simply tempting
So I quit consenting to my flesh when it tries to pimp me
Until I die or Christ comes to get me
I aint doing what this world wants to do
Now is ya wit me? (Are you with me?)
[Chorus]
[R-Swift]
Yo I'mma keep it short simple and plain
I used to fiend for the pimp game
Til I got with Christ and switched my aim
Flipped my pain to a burden to grab hip-hop, his name and merge it
with His word as the plate then serve it
Cats are like "who you serve kid?" It's gotta be HIM
who wiped my sin slate clean like Oxy 10
I rock Christ from PA to Dallas
R-Swift and LeCrae walk in the Spirit til our feet ache with callous
Naw I'm buggin, but for real my point is
with Christ life is pointless; this joint is
For the prisoners trapped on the block where blasted shots cause cats
to drop like temperatures
Without Christ and restoration
your chance of makin it is slimmer than Blacks getting reparations
Jesus Christ man the Ancient of Days
Get with HIM for eternal life and pass the phrase!

Chorus:
So I'm walkin' on water (4x)
Verse 1:
Yeah, go 'head, ask me how I do it, bruh
The sky falling, but I'm still flyin' through-and-through
Hey this ain't willpower, it's wheel power
With God at the wheel, now that's some real power
I feel power, so I'm gon' trust that
That's how I persevere, that's how I jump back
Yeah, the hurricanes never go away
So I'mma stand firm, tell 'em I don't blow away
Hook:
I bet 'cha never see me with my head hung low
I bet 'cha never see me with my eyes to the floor
I bet the boys can't hold me back no more
Aint no lookin back, letting everything go
When I see a problem, when it get tough
I don't get soft, man, I ain't givin' up
There's no turnin' back, man, I will stay strong
It's time to go hard or it's time to go home
So I'm walkin' on water, hey (4x)
Verse 2:
I know it's all good, when it's all bad
There's somethin' workin' in me
Hey what 'ya call that?
Some call it perseverance
Some people say endurance
But I know for sure it
It's got me so secure
Yeah, I got faith, that's why I hold on
'Cause I'm an alien, I'm 'bout to phone home
I'll be long gone, see you hard times
Hello joy, love, peace and a sound mind
(Hook)
Verse 3:
I spit the Word any time you hear ya boy flowin'
So please plagerize me, take my word for it
Hey I'm Lecrae, but you can call me "Crayola"
Not because I'm in the kitchen whippin' up the soda
But because I'm here to paint a vivid picture for 'ya
I know the truth's hittin' by the way I pitch it for 'ya
You're fightin' for attention, I've got the ritalin
I've got the hope, boy, I'm the middle-man
Let me show you my Supplier, yeah you need to know 'em (Christ)
He got me walking on the water when the wind's blowin'
And when the storm's brewin', and when the tide's high
That's when I lean into the truth that I abide by
When I see a problem, when it get tough
I don't get soft, man, I ain't givin' up
There's no turnin' back, man, I will stay strong
It's time to go hard or it's time to go home

[Intro:]
I get a little weak sometimes
Teach me the way, night and day
[Verse 1:]
Oh, I'm under pressure, man, I'm under pressure
Been tryna walk it out I keep ended up a stretcha'
Problems in life'll stretch ya', ain't got it all together
They say the change comin', but it's feelin' like forever
Oh, I'm on mission, they probably think missin'
Some screws, but it's these three nails that keep me drivin'
If God ain't with me, I know that I'm gon' fail
And ain't a wish in the well that can wish ya' boy well
Cells eaten by cancer got me lookin' for answers
Doctors say my daughter won't grow up to be a dancer
Just walked out that funeral, I'm right back in my cubicle
Lord, I'm ready for heaven; I'm just waitin' on the cue to go
Feel like givin' up and just blamin' it on my daddy
He never meant to have me, and problems keep comin' at me
I wanna walk with Jesus, but my legs too heavy
I'm hopin' prayer works 'cause the walls can't hear me
Come on!
[Hook (Novel):]
So I drop to my knees and I scream with my might
I'm know that these walls can't hear me
I say, "Lord, please won't you hear my cry?"
I know that these walls can't hear me
Maybe if I plead and I sing out loud
I know that these walls can't hear me
Jesus come walk, come walk with me now
'Cause I know that these walls can't hear me
[Verse 2:]
Oh, D Wade died first, now my Uncle Skip gone
Then I lost my grandpa, and that's when it hit home
That people keep leavin' me, this world keep deceiving me
They sellin' me false hope, and I keep believing it
Come on!
I promise I think I'm going insane
Come on!
And gravity pullin' me down the drain
Come on!
My boys in Afghanistan goin' crazy
Staring at them pictures of they babies
Bullets flyin' everywhere, prayin' they gon' make it home
Lord, give 'em Hope. Without it, what else they bankin' on?
Everything is fallin' all around me, put yo' arms around me
Sinkin' in my sorrows got me drowning
Tempted to empty bottles and throw 'em off in wind
Devils lurkin' 'round the corner, just waitin' for me to sin
I pray that you sustain me and keep me from givin' in
Ain't gotta get me out; just get through to the end!
Lord Jesus, come on!
[Hook]
See I need some healing
'Cause I'm losing feeling
Lord won't you please hear my cry, yeah

That man don't love you like he need to
If he ain't following Christ, he can't lead you
I ain't tryin' to deceive you
I know he look better than most men
But without Christ, looks are no reason for bragging and boasting
You got your heart on him
Now you can't depart from him
You knew from the beginning not to even start on him
Compromising your faith for sex
Hurting yourself and God
Cause you outside of marital context
What's next?
Mami show respect for your body
Instead of getting naked and naughty
Like sex is a hobby
You know what you're supposed to do
Let him loose and cling to the God that wants to get close to you
You've been blessed as a chosen few
Mami, if ain't rollin' wit Christ
Then don't let him roll wit you
Cause you've been blessed as a chosen few
And if ain't rollin' wit God
Then don't let him roll wit you
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you're the apple of momma's eye
A star in your daddy's sky
But God knows you living a lie
You giving a guy, everything your husband deserves
It's absurd
Don't follow your feelings, just follow The Word
You wanna be in a relationship
Well, you can give him your all, but how deep can the relations get
If your God's on the sideline
You won't be happy I promise
Until you understand, that God is the lifeline
He ain't pleased with lust
So even if it feels right
Remember, he ain't pleased with us, when we
Let our emotions loose without a ring on the finger
It's only gonna come back to sting ya
Don't let the singers sing you sweet lullabies
Without giving The King's sweet love a try
It ain't none better
Who else you know,that would give up his life
Just to love you forever
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you thought that ya'll could win together
Ya'll been together
But all ya'll do is sin together
You're wasting your own time
You keep deceiving your mind
Saying that this is part of God's design
Knowing he treating you good
Know his ways is nice
But he can't love you like he should
He's not engaged to Christ
And you know this ain't the man for you
But you hold on like God ain't got better plans for you
The whole worlds says 'you should be dating'
God says you should be serving him while your patiently waitin'
Everybody rushin and racin
Huggin' and kissin' and hold hands, all before their days end
Yea, I know it's hard but TRUST
I wouldn't waste my breath on this song if it wasn't a MUST
The same God that made you
The same God that died for your sins and saved you
HE ain't tryin' to play you, WAIT!
CHORUS:
Your ready to go'..wait!
Can't take no more'.wait!
I know it's hard but, God is never late
Don't follow your feelings'wait!
Just follow HIS Will and'..wait!
Girl, serve the Lord and don't anticipate.

Hook:
War, crime, violence should stop!
Verse 1:
4-fever, 9 millimeter
'Dem a' want a heater 'cuz the streets is finna heat up
Six million ways to die; choose 10
And if he don't die then he probably do 'em again
From passionate catastrophe, to genocidal blasphemy
No respect for humanity, they resort to insanity
Head bang on the glass, call it window pain
Jumping out the window tryna' get my frame through the frame
Close range; when he point, I just blank-out
Felt my heart sank when that bang thang rang out
Now you got yo thang out, you take life, you give it
You took his life away, but you gave yours up to system
No wanna listen, no reason for livin'
We bought the lie we can't be forgiven for all our sinnin'
Killin' is the religion, service is in a prison
Ignorance got a slave and our name in the mentions
Hook:
War, pain, violence should stop!
Bad man, bad man, gun man, bad man
Squeeze bullet, pow-pow. Body bag man
No bother with no war. No bother with no violence
No bother with the six-feet-rest-in-peace silence
Verse 2:
Grew up under 2Pac: bible verse and two Glocks
Say we ready to die, see a ghetto in the sky
Couldn't be more wrong than right shoes on the left feet
Highway to hell and we fighting for the best seat
No heart, bullet's got no name
Little boys wanna bang but 'dem barely got a brain
'Dem barely got aim, but they shooting for nothin'
They rob a sister of her brother for a couple a hund'ed
They thinkin' that life is cheap but it's expensive as ever
They'll be sentenced to forever for them heartless endeavors
I try to tell 'em (simmer down brethren), but they like whateva'
Too scared of being broke to think about being betta'
Plus, we get bombarded by all these images of bravado
You ain't really a man if you don't follow these models
But the weakest ones follow, the strong reconsider
You can forgive much if you understand you forgiven

[Intro:]
Hey, KB, man, you know we don't brag on our past
We just relate
Some folks think they mistakes
Gonna keep them out the gates
It ain't about what you do, it's about what you did
Let's go!
[Hook:]
I used to do it too, I used to do it too,
I used to do it, used to do it, used to do it too
I used to do it too, I used to do it too,
I used to do it, used to do it, used to do it too
But I'm changed, now I'm something different (Aye)
I'm changed, I love the way I'm living (Aye)
I'm changed, saved me from my own sin (Aye)
I'm changed, I learned how to live again (Aye)
[Verse 1:]
Uhuh
Ah man you name it bra, I promise I done done it all
So busy doin me that I ain't care at all (I'm changed)
I know I ain't the person that I used to be
I look the same but I promise this a newer me
See what I used to be was selfish and conceited
I was living for myself and telling Jesus he could beat it
At the time I couldn't see it, all I saw was havin fun
Went to church to look for ladies, not to look upon the Son
I was a hedonist, now Jesus is my pleasure
I was a narcissist but now I'm lookin betta.
But I ain't fix myself, ain't turn myself around
I gave it up and told the Lord that he can have it now
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
I was tryin to figure what's a goone to a goblin
That's nonsense tell me this though what's a goone to the God-Head
I gotta seed sown from the Regal
Then He deboed all my evil and my ego
Now I devote, all of me bro, to the King so
We know that he redeems souls
Got that right homie I'm different.
At times I don't be feelin it.
Salvation ain't a feelin lil homie it's a positionin
Great sinners sin is great but the Great Savior is omnipotent
And you quit dissin Him you ain't got no sins that He can't forgive.
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
You see Satan uses guilt to strip away our hope
He shows us our mistakes and tells us we're a joke
I used to sit and mope like what's the point in all
If I'm a Christian how come everyday I seem to fall
But I ain't know that all my sins were nailed upon the cross
I found this out in chapter 2 in the Book of Colossians
See the devil's a liar, yeah he's an accuser
He tells me I'm worthless, he says I'm a loser
But now I refuse to let him lead me wrong
Reading the Word in the morn got me feeling strong
I found my worth in Christ and I'm pursuing truth
A living testimony so you can do it too

[Intro:]
A yo man let that beat drop on em
Yea, oh you know I'm liking that right there
Wats good yall
It's yo boy Lecrae
Some call me crezy
I'm here with my 116 clique representing to you
We just want to put it down for the Lord Jesus Christ
City to city and state to state, we keep running into more 116 clique members
People who are unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ
Let me tell you where we're from dog…
[verse 1:]
New Jerusalem, that's my home
Let me put it in a song, so you'll never get it wrong
No shame in the message, that's the reason I live (reason I live)
Christ up in every song, He's the reason I'm here
All they rhyme about is guns, money, sex and drugs
Eighty percent of these dudes is fictional thugs
We don't kill nobody, we don't rob no stores
We don't trap, we aint strapped, we don't smoke that dro
We aint pimpin, we aint trippin, if we tippin on some fours
den youll probaly hear dat Jesus music comin out our doors(comin out our doors)
we aint ashamed, you can call us lame,
but everybody gotta die and stand in front of the King
[chorus:]
We unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, we unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
Unashamed, unashamed
We unashamed
[verse 2:]
Watch this so you can really know what time it is
God is resurrected and I'm here to glorify Him
Ma Jesus, Jesus, ma Jesus might make a great tune
But we gotta lead em dipset to the weight room
I gotta date soon, but it aint soon enough
Father keep pruning us, cause its proven we known for screwing up
I cant front cause the pressure is still thick
And when sin in looks like the pressure, I'm havin to turn quick
A sin sick, so merk it like John Owen
You know when Jesus the Christ you can pay him, but still owe him
We shoulda died and been buried for our wrong actions
Instead Christ died and carried them on his own back (What?)
This is a known fact, but some say that its fiction
This is our lifestyle, no its not a religion
See I survived death back in 2002,
And religion is not at all what got your boy through
Yea your boy crayola, I don't do payola
No floors full of baking soda, just Jehovah
I get played to the left more than I get paid to write
So I aint worried about eating dog, tryin to display the fight
[chorus]
[verse 3:]
You see me on the block, the ava void in the land
We look the same, but we different
We bring God to this thang
While being vocal by the Lord and not a piece on chain
But don't get it twisted, its reasons these boys unashamed
How bout 39 lashes of beatings, they laughing and teasing
These blasphemous heathens reject the passion of Jesus
He fasted from speaking even with nails bashed in His feat, and the cross,
He gasping and wheezing, His lungs collect as He's breathing
The chief priest stone in the court of this chief
My Prince of Peace minus the pipe who bought my grief so no more chiefin
But like the rims that hit the curb (curb) we call em shoulder blades
We got out crosses on our back like our shoulder blade
This is death and resurrection that turned about my direction
Stepping toward perfection had nothing to do with me (do with me)
But the gospel is the power and power been men to pow out
We powed in the pavement takin the message to the streets

CHORUS: This is the Chance -You Need 2 Jump Back (Jump Back!)
We got the Truth You Know You Want That (Want That!)
All The Confusion You Can Dump That (Dump That!)
We Reppin' Jesus 'til He Come back(Come Back!)
This life is it with no skins and thicks and no sense of blood trauma
We got Jesus when they feel' they think we drunkkk, dawg!
All o' because we be wildin' and jumpin' screamin' now REPRESENT!
Get crunk, throw it up. What's up?-Jesus! You know we reppin' Him!
People called to chosen but our hearts were froze rollin' with Satan, mayne!
Tryin to trust in the lust in the flesh and our eyes our pride was hatin', mayne!
But our God is rich in mercy ' MERCY!- great in Lovveeee!!
We were dead in sin but Christ bled for sin and that's why He raised us upppp!
Now our life looks bright in the sight of-thee Al migh ty Christ paid the price
It's all right -He gave His life that we-all-might be saved from our plight
And wedon'thave to guess what's next when Death comes right up at our dor!
We'll be excited to goooo! It's the delight of our soullllll!
That's why I'm pressin' ya'lllll! Don't-be-second guessin', ya'lll!

(CHORUS)

I don't need money for-ever He'll self eternal inheritance
Spiritual rags ta' riches like Beverly Hill Billies'..So I'
Spend a coupla' days and been amazed me tryin ta' figure out the jist of this!
God saved and forgave me I ain't have ta' work a lick for this?!!
And you might just trip on this'. aside from these benefits
You know the God who made us from dust and plus He'll make the change in this (body)
(CHORUS)
What an honor' despite the drama life has to offer
We follow the Father not flirty mommas and dirty dollars
So keep the comma cause REALLY we don't believe in thatttt
Psychic folks and horoscopes: no! we won't be needing thattt
Hey, dawg, where Jesus atttt? Cause I been fiendin', blackkkk!
Ta' see His face at the Second Coming. I mean in thattttt
It's cause I'm heeding' thattt called that He gave me to
Learn His ways and turn and pass it on to a faithful few
That's why I'm lovin'-the-life that-I'm-livin'so I could preach the Truth.
Teach the youth and I pray that, God this is reaching You
I'm seeking toooo explain things that may seem Greek to you
God desires our satisfaction to be in Jesus, dudeee
Believe me, you or believe you me just believe in this
A life reflecting the glory of God you need in this
In-a-moment in-a'second in-a twinkling of-an-eye
All-the dead gonna rise and we gonna flyyyyy!!

Yeah, fake hair, fake nails, fake pearls
Call herself a Barbie, wanna be a fake girl
She can't even see, she Stevie Wonder at night time
Too busy trying to get them red bottoms the right size
Tell her that you love her and she gonna call you a liar
(Whatever, you don't really love me, you just wanna give me the lie)
On the bet, but the fact is she deals with fools,
That see women as garden tools, never treated them cool
She said that suckers and brothers always makin' her sick
So she gave up on em now she's just attracted to chicks
But she never seen a man with a soul as clean
He fightin' to be whatever God made him be
Don't want to manipulate the date, the legger, or shake her
Wanna give his life to her followin' his creator
Maybe she gonna see he ain't crazy and start wondering
"God, what's the reason you made me? "
Maybe it ain't to be physically attractive just so you can trap and capture
A man, that'd be superficially happy. Nah, you're worth more than that,
yeah.
Beautiful lies, yeah, I know they ain't right
But I bought it, but that's the price of life
Yeah, look
I wanted the girl that was super official
I found my standard superficial
'Cause behind the glamour was some super issues
And I ain't trying to shoot to diss you, I'm just sayin'
Everybody gotta look fly on the planes
And you don't wanna step outside, lookin' plain
They call it running game, everybody playn'
Dang, that's trinity the word 'play'
Sephora made you make up your mind
Coach bags made you feel first class this whole time
And them Nikey kicks running your life,
Your ambition been driven by them cars that you like
I know some girls that's faster than T3ch Nine
Self esteem as low as they neck-line
'Cause they don't know whose image they reflect, went to bed to find love,
woke up with rats
This is a matter of heart, kid
Gimme a second, let me show you
If you own something you can't depart with
You probably don't own it, it own you
Man, tell me what's the price of life
Too much to find peace, so what's your release
Yeah, there's much more, believe me
Than living for the things that your leaving
Beautiful lies, I know they ain't right, but I bought it
But that's the price of life.
She camouflage her insecurity in Jimmy Choo's
High heels but the mountain's top she'll never choose
She'll set up for a dude & precious medals
A slave to his money by his chains you can tell it
Page to embellish the life that you really live
Them nice clothes cover up, how you really feel
When your eye liner off and you've been revealed
Trapped in a prison with multiple life sentences
55 life times as infinity, you don't wanna pray your middle fingers to
Divinity
You ever stop and think about what the incentive is
Livin for their approval has got it's benefits
They special 'cause they don't live like you
But they die and their blood bleeds red like you
Truth is they depressed, takin' meds like you
They ain't livin' it up, they're dead like you
But you can live, uh

[Verse One]
You know it's on and poppin and aint no stoppin
keepin the party rockin for God who's watchin
Without Christ the Rock who would rock ya body
Who would rock the party, or rock the lobby
He gave us a reason to praise Him up in the Steeple
When He came down and died for the evil that we do
We aint playin games or reppin His name to gain change
We do this to maintain and change the mainframe
gangstas that gangbang and hustlas that slang thangs
We know you're a sinner but it's time for a name change
It's the Holy Rock Repper, reppin the Rock whether or
not it's hot on ya block in the hot weather
We in the party screamin "Jesus WHUUUT"
You see somebody wildin out? what you seen was us
We keep it krunk for Christ because of His redeeming love
We gone rep him till we die or til He beams us up so get 'em up!
[Chorus]
You rollin with the line now baby
Get your hands up high now baby
We keep it crunk for Christ, we'll never change that
The same cats rockin even after the cows came back (mmmmm)
Get your hands up, Get your hands up, get your hands up, get your hands up
[Verse Two]
Tadow! How you like me now I'm in the mix
See I'm a fiend for Jesus Christ and I'm about ta get my fix
With the Krunkness, I hope you feeling my worshipnow peep my drunkness
because the Spirit is working I pray you pump this
to all your friends that are worldly, to see we bump this
because we know that He's worthy
I'm from the dirty
the place where they say that the cops got him, or the glock shot him
this is where people hit rock bottom
crack houses and dirty spouses, how can you not spot him?
Because of this drama I nicknamed my block Sodom.
But God took this brotha, one coming a dime a dozen
and brought me back to His loving, delivered me from destruction
From the land of the Trill, worse than Amityville
with one hand on the wheel, and one hand on the steel
To His commandments and will, He understands how I feel
but he called me to run as hard as Emmit ran on the field.
Now get 'em UP!
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Ride with this Christian Partner, While we present the
Father, Vibe to this rhythm holla, live till you hear
them holla, or see them follow, forsaking Impalas and
dollars, or smoking la la, For popping collars in honor to Abba
Now wild out! And get crunk to this Plumbline
collaboration, we out to grab the station til God gets his adoration
Aye yo this beat got us jumpin and stompin we keep it
pumpin like Jesus comin
I see you runnin, you keepin somethin from me, you frontin
But you can't front on Jehovah, He knows ya...
Not J-A-Y but J-E young soldier
I told ya, He's the owner man
He want it, He says it and gets it, it's over man
He gave us the life that we're livin, He owns us man
You either rollin with the Rock or get rolled over man

(feat. Flame)

(Lecrae- Verse 1
He was raised up in Nazareth and raised on the THIZZERD
Never got drunk, got high, or sipped SYZZURP
Prophecy King Isaiah 9 that's the WIZZORD
He's da real king and it don't matter what ya HIZZERD
The king's a real shepard dawg acts in peoples favor yall
Not a self seekin playa all about the paper dawg
Call em the Messiah, the annointed one the Savior, bruh
Caught Him on the humble but you'll see him reign later bruh
These self proclaimed kings braggin cuz they ON CHROME
But twenty sixes inches is a PRETTY LOW THRONE
Like kids playin in they daddy's clothes when he's gone
The clothes don't fit, and daddy's comin back home
Really this is foolish mayn you don't wanna do this mayn
The king of kings is comin back, the theocratic ruler mayn
What if you should pass away and see him on a laster day
Your reign don't make a deal so really what is there you have to say
Chorus 2X
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG, JESUS CHRIST RULE DIS THANG!)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (JESUS CHRIST RUN IT MAYN!)
Lecrae: We talkin bout the Sovreign Ruler dawg. Ay Flame man, why don't you enlighten us to who the king is dawg? Let's get it
(Flame- Verse 2
Oh how excellent is his essence we reverence his name (ooh)
While silly peasants we presently tryna steal his fame
You carry 45s AKs king of the tools
But you can't make a day
You can't take away from da king of the Jews
See what about the major day
When you face to face with yes you know who
We wanna be a king with bling and do major things
But He supremely rules
You must be jokin you smokin plus u buyin that buddha (ooh)
Why defy him when you can rely on the lion of judah?
Supreme ruler shinin brighter than jacob the jeweler's (ooh)
Jewelry, cuz it's true indeed he's savin us through the
Cross of christ and that's true
Follow him lose ya life and that's true
Gain new life, ya got to let loose
Of your own throne and follow Jesus
Rollin big whips don't make you no king
Rollin them spliffs don't make you no king
Pretty mixed screens don't make you no king
Smokin those kis don't make you no king
See you can run a trap own a house and smoke black and milds (ooh)
You'll be a king when you can do things like roll back the clouds (ooh)
Chorus 2X
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG, JESUS CHRIST RULE DIS THANG!)
WHO DA KANG? (HE DA KANG)

WHO DA KANG? (JESUS CHRIST RUN IT MAYN!)

We can live it
We can live it
We can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it
Yeah, that good life
That good life
Now, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it
Yeah, good life
What he need God for? He got money to the Heavens
Never pulled a 187, but he preach it like a reverend
Never satisfied with second
Except for second home, second car, second woman his own, second bottle from the bar
Good life, even though he got it, he don't get it
'Cause he livin' for the moment, but this moment has an endin'
Matter fact it's been a minute, all he see is pretty women
Big lights big names, in a minute that'll change... BANG!
Caught up in an all-consuming flame
All alone, still rejecting Jesus' Name
Even if he could change he would never do it
Grandma told him 'bout the living water, he prefer the sewage
He don't know why he do it, desired just enslave him
Addicted to himself, do whatever just to praise him
Give himself the money, pleasure and treasure that'll rust
When he traded his eternity for 20 years of lust
Where the bottle go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was false
But that's the good life
Lights, camera, action
Where is the satisfaction?
Good life...
Black diamonds and gold
Livin' highest when you live on the low
I take the narrow route, that speedway's a monsta
It's all good, I go to sleep without a guilty conscience
For that they call me conscious, but I'm very conscious
Of what I'm missin', I ain't trippin' on the girls in VIP
Frontin' for each otehr
They actin' like they somethin' that they not, they undercover
Tryin' to get under covers, but one day they'll discover
They gave parts of theyself away that they'll never recover
A part time lover took a fulltime pay
God please show her mercy, her affliction's here to stay
She just found out she pregnant and the child has been infected (my Lord)
What's worse thah that, she'll never meet the guy that she rejeceted
The one that can protect her, comfort her to the grave
And resurrect her body to live with Jesus who saves
Can't say that God ain't love her, she wanted to be a slave
This is a crew master leavin' 'em full of pain
Where the bottle go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was false
But that's the good life
Lights, camera, action
Where is the satisfaction?
Good life...
Black diamonds and gold
Livin' highest when you live on the low
50 years from now, he may be full of gray hair, beard long
And even closer to a home that he's never known
Right now his home facin' 25-to life
Sittin' in the county jail, court appointed lawyer like
If this case is Tina Turner, homie, I am not like
Got his momma cryin' daily but she prayin' every night
Only 20 but there's plenty that he's payin' with his rights
Thought he got a life sentence but he really got life
He done read that bible twice
Been in plenty fights, sleepless nights
But when he trusted Christ you could see that change overnight
Knew he'd die in prison but was livin' for another life
Everytime his lights out he closer to the other side
Partners on the outside think he found religion as a
Coping mechanism when he say the Lord's risen
Now he lay awake in prison prayin' for his homies in the streets
'Cause truth is, he's free-er than they gon' ever be
Where the bottle go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was false
But that's the good life
Lights, camera, action
Where is the satisfaction?
Good life...
Black diamonds and gold
Livin' highest when you live on the low
We can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it
Yeah, that good life
That good life
Now, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it

Turn the music up inside my session
These folks gotta hear my message
You put that beat on, I beat on this track to relieve my stressin’
I see more trials than Cochran, while TV tryna’ box me
Them magazines ain't on my page, but ain’t none of that gon’ stop me
Keep the fame and acclaim, I won’t be a slave for a chain
And why stay the same for the change, let’s talk ‘bout change for a
change
Mundane, killa’ bang, sell cane for the gain, pump vanity in your veins
No, they hopin’ I quit, ‘fact they hopin’ I die, no, they hopin’
I'm plain insane
‘Cause they know I ain't playing, got my faith on display
And I got some ridas behind me, and they mean what they saying
Knock, knock. Open up. We at yo’ door. Hope you prepared now
And I think it's clear now, potna’ we here now
And don't plan on goin’ no where, consider yo’self infested
And these strings all up in yo’ veins, consider yo’self infected
And what we say we live out, ‘fo we give in we give out
And when we die we come back, tell Death he’ll never win out
They ain't never stop us, pop us, drop us, watch us pop right back up
And we never gone die, that’s why we ride & rise like Pac got back up
Go’n back up, call back up, everybody go home, just pack up
We plugged into the Highest power, that why we ain't gotta act tough
No poker faces, just smokin’ aces, my house is full
My temple is a dwelling place, my Master’s masterful
You just full of yo’self, you just food on the shelf
Eaten for breakfast, talkin’ reckless ,boy I know the chef
You don’t want he’s cookin’, it’s not easy to stomach
And your words will be eaten, folks’ll be readin’ yo’ vomit
The recipe for disaster asks for blasphemy

[Hook:]
Yeah she may look gritty
When her man come back she gone look so pretty - She the Church
You might see her acting crazy, be patient with her tho cause she still God's baby - She the Church
Before you dis her get to know her, Jesus got a thing fo her and died just to show her - She the Church
She ain't bricks and buildings
She all of God's people Men women and children
[Verse 1:]
A building of beings being constructed
Christ is the cornerstone, foundation build on another and you's a goner holmes
She' built on em, supported by him, conformed to him, now she's a body of bodies who transform through him
A temple that breathes we are the halls,
We are the floor board or more we are the walls
Manifold wisdom of God no longer a mystery
The church is the pinnacle of our salvific history
One flesh union homie
The Tri-union is glorified through our corporatized communion
Still the present reality is she was born a casualty though she's made alive
She's affected by depravity
Once lived in sin and enslaved by her lust and
Folks catch her slippin and they turn away disgusted
She's a work in progress Christ is the head of her
And He wash her clean with the words that he done said to her
She's already pretty but she's really not dressed and sometimes she look silly but she's far from a mess
Yes, please so don't be dissin cause Jesus done paid grip an
And if you didn't then should caller her Misses. I'm talking bout the church
[Verse 2:]
Her name is ecclesia meaning the the assembly
Bows to (the Trinity) No other Divinity
A body family and community she is all one
But on earth you see her in congregational small ones
A microcosm or a small scale example
But yes it is the church even though it's just a sample
Invisible spiritual
Physical visible
Not a brick temple never that simple
This a not a building
She is not bricks
She's a world changer but ain't bout getting rich
Perpetrating fakes cause a lot of folks to hate
Plus her hands get dirty and her feet get scraped
And sometimes her body parts start acting outa place
Legs tryna be arms
Arms thinking they the face
But she'll never be replaced with a one man band or a small Taliban with no body in command
[Verse 3:]
Some don't get it so they hate
They say she's on a paper chase they say she's really fake
So they go start a ministry so they can do the work
But they don't understand how Jesus feel about His church
And yeah they make disciples
They got plenty conversions
They take care of the widows and the orphans they be workin
But none of them are churchin
No church structure
No elders and no discipline
They don't have a conductor
And they so they don't submit
But quite a few of them baptize
People how I pray that you'd look at this thing from God's eyes
Take responsibility inside the whole council not just the area where you might have a mouthful
Who should people submit to
Who will conduct the discipline
If excommunicated what body will they be missing then
Look at Ephesians 4 where Paul gets practical

(Chorus)
Now I'mma tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 1)
Uh, I know one thing's true
I don't even really deserve to know you
But I... I'm a witness that you did this
And I'm brand new so I... I'm ready to go
And I'mma tell the world what they need to know
A slave to myself but you let me go
I tried gettin high but it left me low
You did, what they could never do
You cleaned up my soul and gave me life, I'm so brand new
And that's all that matters
I aint love you first, but you first loved me
In my heart I cursed ya, but you set me free
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons, to give me new life, new
Breathin
But you hung there bleedin
And you died for my lies, and my cheatin, my lust, and my greedin
What is a man, huh? that you're mindful of em?
And what do I have to deserve this love?
(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescused me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 2)
I can't offer you nothin, but your care and kindness keep comin
And your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my stomach
I got the old me in the rearview, gotta new me, gotta clear view
I was so dead, I couldn't hear you
Too deep in sin to come near you
But you drew me in, and cleaned me up
And take me home and beamed me up
Before you do, just let me tell the truth
And let these folks know that I done seeing your love
And it's everlastin, infinite
It goes on and on, you can't measure it
Can't quench your love, they can't separate us from the love of God
It's no estimate
My face look the same, my frame done rearranged
But I changed, I promise I aint the same
Your love is so deep, you suffered and took pain
And died on the cross to gimme a new name
Aint nothin like I seen before
I gotta beam to glow
Was low, down, and dirty but you cleaned me Lord
You looked after me, you keep rockin me
Imma tell the world and aint nobody stoppin me
(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescused me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 3; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
He is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Yea, I'm brand new
(Chorus)
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know

repetentant sinners
blood stained banner
i done rep for my lord whom i represent
from the island of summer
to the gs in the gang with the rocks on they wrists
with they glocks on they hips
but dawg it's the people dying for lack of this information
i pray that everbody
will flock to the rock of ages
especially when they find out we serve a god that's so graciuos
but,
ain't nobody talking to a brother that's incomplascent
we ran until he call us dawg
like adam we fallin dawg
and still he's callin dawg
and sometimes we be stalling dawg
gone ran like an athlete on the trac beat
and the to pack meat on his back like a back seat
you can catch me like a taxi on the back street
but god chooses to save us mayne
pull us out and rep his name
plus through jesus he pleases to use us as his vessles mayne
cats who wanna walk it and talk it
teach it and preach it
they love it they live it
they'll go it wherever they leaded
chorus
we kingdom people we willing to repent and guys that will rep the lord
unselfish forward servants who live to expect the lord
we live to bless the lord
coz we confess the lord
(just believe)all we ever needed was just the lord
verse 2
in the midst of this diasterr
he callin for ambassadors
to hit the street with a clique bent chipped on showing how he did'nt pass the cup
but how he took the wrath for us
and out of love he ask for us
but we ignore and pass him up for the life of the night
that's bad for us
somehow he keeps on grabbin us
attracting us
and before we know it
it masters us
men how dose this happen
we never
but could it be lackin love
we are in the war like maximus
and discipline builds your chacharacter
the tipical way we should live life
so mentor christ on his character
no hocus pocus magic wands
no one cares if you're the pastors son
persevere thruogh the trials of this life
there's no time to be complascent
let hope be your motivation
that's enough to spark a movement even in incarceration
on campus or in the hood
stop
learn the word and spit it bro
chorus
verse 3
ey first thing first dawg jesus lives
heaven dawg you bet is real
reppin him till we dead and still
or at least until the next

She made me wanna get down on a knee
Yeah,
She made me wanna share everything I own,
How does it feel?
I was praying for a ten,
But I found the one,
And no girl compares to my virtuous love,
Cause what we got is truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Yeah
Listen, What's up my lady love?
My mamasita,
I know you know me,
But let's get to know each other deeper,
Cupid, you can keep em,
I don't believe em,
This kinda love we got is real,
This ain't no Mona Lisa,
No painted picture, No fairytale,
A lot of blood, sweat, and tears,
Yeah we know it well,
And I never kiss and tell, put our business in the streets,
It ain't nobodys business what we do between the sheets,
And I respect you too much,
Don't see you as my equal,
I see you as myself,
Me and you we the same people,
The way you let me lead you,
That's why I need you,
And when I'm on the road I miss you wanna see you,
You not perfect, you not perfect but you work it girl,
And you don't need a job unless you feel like workin girl,
Ain't worried bout your past I'm focused on our future lady,
But when I see us looking good... I see you baby
I was praying for a ten,
But I found the one,
And no girl compares to my virtuous love,
Cause what we got is truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Yeah
Yeah
Don't need a prenup,
It's you I love and not the money,
Know all my passwords but you don't need them things you trust me,
They think we crazy,
Head over heels,
I love your mind more than the way you dress head over heels,
Now I don't lace you in Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or Burke,
But I give you the time and attention, faithfullness and it's workin,
But when you get upset and bother me I'm here to stay,
Can't wait to date you when you sixty and your hair is gray,
We ain't them, I ain't him, You ain't her,
But we the best we'll ever be minus me first,
Till they bury me you'll always be my lady,
And leavin you's like leavin myself,
It's crazy
I was praying for a ten,
But I found the one,
And no girl compares to my virtuous love,
Cause what we got is truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Yeah
I was praying for a ten,
But I found the one,
And no girl compares to my virtuous love,
Cause what we got is truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,
Truly something special,

I make ya spazz on em, knowing that they don't know me
I may call up my homies forty deep is how we rollin
We pull up on your block and we ain't got no glock forties
No meaner millimeter, hope you never have to meet her
Put a rolla in a meter, this one right here's a cheater
Tryin' to get off in my zone, watch me hit these wide receivers
If you ain't a believer I'm looking for conversion
My 16 is a sermon, get your hands up in this service
I know I'm a bring the realist, you know I've got the cutest
They're telling me, I'm sick, I already know I've got that illness
That 8 0 8 up heavy, my adrenaline got me sweaty
I don't think these people ready, I'm a spazz if they let me
Tell someone come and get me, cause if they get me started
I'm LeoDiCaprio, I'm gone, departed
This ain't for the faint of heart it may be for the heartless
The way I eat this beat you think I was a starving now I'm spazz
Spazz, Spazz (out)
Spazz, Spazz (out)

Boy, it's hard to hold this bag, it's hard to keep this in
This spazz ain't feel so right, not to do it it's a sin
Nah, I ain't got to be wilin and I ain't got to be jumpin',
But you feel them walls humming? That's my people coming, (let go!)
Now they ain't smoking that good, they [ain't] finna' do nothin' bad,
But they on that Jesus juice so they probably gon' spazz,
Hollerin' 1-1-6, see it tatted on they wrists,
Cause they ain't ashamed of nothin', man, they get it how they live,
The old us is dead, the new us so legit,
Got us spazzin' in the game, cause we know we 'bout to win,
And I never said I was hot, but a fire's in my bones,
Got me sweatin' in the winter, got me hotter than a stove,
They probably think I done lost it, they probably thinkin' I'm gone,
But truth be told I found it, I'm Gucci, I'm thrown,
I'm better than I ever been and truth that hit me settled in,
I'm spazz on these people they don't want it, but they gettin' it,
Spazz, Spazz (out)

Man I consider my life nuthin'
if I could just finish the race
and complete the job the
lord jesus gave me
I live to tell the world his message
Romans 1:16 "I'm not Ashamed"
I Ain't Ashamed
(Hook)
We Souled Out
Seeking God's face till we fold out
you want it, we got it
we ain't tryin' to hold out
break me, shake me, mold me
I would rather die like Christ
that live unholy
(Verse1)
1 - 1 - 6 a band of misfits
who get sick at the
state of the world
so we hit strips and spit
Christ Jesus, who scooped us out of the
dirt
and cleaned us
we were slave to sinful ways but Christ
freed us
believe us
because of the bible that supercedes us
not to the intellectual thesis
they say we believe in a fools faith
cause kids can grasp it
and salvation is granted, to those who
ask it
but even if you don't know systematic
theology
or eschatology
you know Jesus is who you wanna to seek
we ought to be
sowing seeds and seeping truth
diciplin' groups of young soldiers
and reeping fruit
aww yeah
this a part of our lifestyle
might sound good on wax
but we livin' it right now
I wish you would catch me on tapes and
CD's
But never see me in the streets in 3-D
B, Please
We ain't come here to appease
we came to spit these spiritual
soliloquies
why killers squese triggers
and hammers clap
I'm a shove on my bullet truth vest
and hammer back like that
(Hook)
We Souled Out
Seeking God's face till we fold out

Man I do this for the, Way, the truth

until my soul take flight
the worlds the same
everyone want to cop a chain, cop a
dame , cop 22's on the range
want to cop big fortune and fame
and claiming that they the reason that
the cops get trained
stop the game
I came here to drop a name
Jesus
The same one that blocked the pain
How many thugs you know hard enough to
stop the flames
its like
standing on the tracks tyrin to
block a train
you got the game
messed up
stop and change
mind trapped all wrapped up in locks a
chains
the same God you pray to before you
sleep at night
the same God you direspect when you
creep at night
seek the light
ain't no trin' to plead for life
talkin' bout' I sorry God
He like
Leave my sight
The key to life
is none other than Jesus Christ
If you a slave to your ways
Be free tonight
(Hook)
We Souled Out
Seeking God's face till we fold out
you want it, we got it
we ain't tryin' to hold out
break me, shake me, mold me
I would rather die like Christ

We Souled Out
Seeking God's face till we fold out

I spit these bars
not to get no chicks in cars
Not for spinners on the wheels of
expensive cars
Man I do this for the folk who like to
lift their arms
pray to god who gave us life
so he can give us all
man I do this for the blocks in tha
Hood
the rocks in tha hood
Jesus Chist, Cornestone
gettin' props in tha hood
folks think we crazed and delerious
cilqued up 40 deep
all saved, all serious Yeah

Romans 10:9 is all you got to do man
(Hook)

Send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
lemme go lemme go!
(repeat x4)
i seen it with my own two,
there's no way i can show you
a perfectly poverty stricken people with no view.
And i bet you can't believe this,
they never heard of jesus.
Heard young buck, lil wayne, and young jeezy.
No one's signing up to go on missions this summa.
Rather sit at home and watch exhibit pimpin a humma
while a nine year old is shot down.
No one's screaming 'stop now!'
no bridge illustrations for criminals who on lock down.
People deep in africa
looking for an answer bra'.
In china man,
they're dieing man,
until they know who died for sins.
So look what grace did.
Not for us to stay here
inside our comfort zones
at home in mama's basement.
Get out on the grind y'all.
Ain't no better time doll.
I know y'all read the great commission.
Let me just remind y'all:
make disciples of the nations.
Teach'm to obey the lord.
Have to lead someone to christ before i face the lord.
Send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
lemme go lemme go!
(repeat x4)
hey! After, 1,000 years in the west and the churches
get'n bigger daily without understand'n worship. (say what?)
Some regenerate but a lot ain't saved.
You walk outside and be surprised cuz the block ain't changed.
And the numbers they be get'n me.
Something just ain't hit'n them.
America ain't christian they practice'n the ritual.
That's why we should be mission'l
Hey, what you think i'm spit'n fo?
united states is die'n
and the east is looking pitiful.
Some places if they catch you
they'll arrest you and
they'll serve you,
but they still need the word too.
The gospel should be heard too.
We claim we ain't ashamed,
but we still ain't hit the block up.
Were in our christian bubble,
while our brotha's get'n locked up.
Lord i wanna stock up,
pack a bag and walk up
in a country where seeking my faith may get me shot up
anywhere i go, whether my city Lord or far abroad,
i just wanna show'em Jesus christ the risen holy god.
Send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
lemme go lemme go!
(repeat x4)
i know they're die'n in the streets over in the middle east.
Some kids seeking peace.
others hold'n up a piece.
If the violence doesn't cease,
then at least the deceased
might know jesus as their savior as their bodies hit the streets.
And i know this is a graphic view.
And i pray that it's attack'n you.
Track'n you to act and do
what you see in the back illusion.
Mathew twenty-four and fourteen.
We should read it twice
before we think that life is just a battle
see we free in christ!
Look dawg! Life is more than church work and football!
What if you were dead in sin and christians overlooked y'all!
This is why we leave the couch
and leave the comforts of our house
to show a die'n world a god they'll probably never read about.
The great commission says make disciples of all nations.
Have we even made them in our own nation?
Come on christians!
Missions exist because worship doesn't.
People don't worship the god who made them.
We're ambassadors.
Let's go!
Send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
send me I'll go,
lemme go lemme go!

[Verse 1: ]
My eyes redder than blood shots
Nightmares of them gunshots
I took my girl from the lone star
To Memphis 10 on them cold blocks
And what you think we moved for
To see kids get killed in the school zone?
To see crack get sold, bodies turned cold
What you think, I think that's cool, bro?
And why do you think I went to school for?
To turn around and move back to the hood?
Nah, boy, that's what it's called a sacrifice
This is bigger than me, it's for a greater good
I went to cape town, had a breakdown
Mozambique seen a man face down
Took blows to the head, boy it's cold out here
So we're staying on the grind, no brakes, nah nah
If this a gimmick then explain what's the incentive
Been extorted, near deported for this faith I'm representing
And when I started penning lyrics
I wasn't thinking bout no cypher
I was thinking about them addicts
And them juvies and them lifers
Well this is what the people lose they life for
And what they give up all they rights for
It ain't no church in the wild, huh?
But tell me, who you think I write for?
And I ain't tryin' to be self righteous
But I write just so you'll think twice
Folks wanna call this gospel rap
Nah, homeboy, this is sacrifice
[Verse 2: ]
Some of these rapper's reputations should be in dispute
Cause real recognize real
And you do not compute
Good as laying your life down
Sacrifice for a worthy cause
Not for a bunch of green paper stacks
Overpriced clothes and shiny cars, no
This is sacrifice, it's giving your own
Even when they don't understand you
You still answer your calling
And when the world is falling and they back is turned
You reach your hand out and pull them out that fiery furnace
I learned that from the old heads
You know the ones that never turned back
Martin Luther King got shot for it
That's priceless you can't earn that
Then tell me what do you think he died for?
A peace prize? A holiday?
So I can rap a whole bunch of weak lines
About how I'm a make my choppers spray?
If Jesus really lived, then He really died
Sacrificed Himself and rose before they very eyes
And if I ain't really changed
Then it's all a lie
Why put my life on the line
Mayne this ain't worth my time
Cause it's been real
When nobody knew us we been here
Before the billboards and the Grammy awards
It was Christ homeboy we been clear
I ain't never been fake
Got faith, if I lied to yo face
May I die a disgrace
Live for the truth that He died in my place

You know your boy, Crae, running for the prize, I'm gunnin'
The one that don't rust or break all of a sudden
The Holy Spirit got your boy doin' a dozen
Push up, push up, come on, work it out cousin
I run from the flesh/it be tryin' to rise
And I'm done with livin' gettin' drunk and high
I'm a son of El Shaddai, the most High, who most def want me to do more then get by
I look in the sky and I'm so inspired, to run for a God whose my soul's desire
My sole desire to run for Jesus
And give Him all the credit like I run for visa
I'm done with pieces/I found my dime
I run to the wife that the Lord provided
And we decided that we would run together for God's glory alone homie we ain't lyin'
I run to the Word cause my soul is thirsty
No runnin from affliction though they may hurt me
I do preach wrath but I speak on mercy
And grace by faith, you can call me churchy
Run, this is your race, boy. Run, don't stop.
Run til your blood vessels bust like a glock
Run like a Nascar run round the track
Run, boy, run, boy,
Naw I ain't sweaty and my breaths pretty steady
My feet don't hurt and my legs ain't heavy
I'm still in the marathon, I keep the pace steady
Temptation is quick/but the Spirit stay ready
My eyes on the prize/yeah, they fixed on Christ
Hydrated in the Word but the joints are tight
That's why I get with a coach, who can stretch your boy
Who can push, pull, train me and test your boy
And blooka, blooka yeah you heard the gun
That means run off the blocks, run!
The Son is where I stay focused
Avoiding sin and I pass the baton to the faithful men
And we never run in vain or for finite prizes
So when the race is done there will be no surprises
The world says quit/we ain't tryin' to hear it
Cause to quench our sin's thirst is to quench the Spirit
We still in it, dawg
We can't quit, ya'll
All my cousins who runnin wanna stick wid it, ya'll
Jezebel is jumpin/your path, you best run
They tempting you to puff, puff, pass/you best run
Keep ya kicks laced, get your grips straight before you quit, you kick, this is the big race
Forget a medal man it's bigger than that
Forget a 4.2 40 man you're quicker than that
The Holy Spirit got the breath you breathe
So if the cramps kick in, it's the all the breath you need
Wait on the Lord to renew you man
Don't stop, keep going, you can do this man
Keep the Word in your grip, keep the Word on your lips, keep a tight knit Christlike crew for fellowship
And before you see the end and the race is done

I know it's difficult, but
You know, the odds really are in our favour, man
Things just ain't the same for gangsters
The whole world 's changed, everybody's a stranger
These young dude's running around, saying they bangers
Quit the law bangers, the click and bang yah
And I done seen too many teens chasing their dreams
End up blood stream contaminated and feening
And now they leanin' on words that he said
Or She said, we said,
"Look at him, he dead"
See, we ain't ever know Martin Luther the King
Most of us probably couldn't tell you much about his dream
We like Malcolm x, 'cause spike made a movie
With his arms stretched up with the AK's and Uzi's
So excuse me, You tryna connect to, a whole generation is raised by
gangsters
Who probably never knew pops, we had Tupac
An old boom box, chilling in our tube socks
And plus Dre taught us how to roll a 64
And Snoop Dogg taught us how to roll a sticky drow
So if they wanna reach us with Jesus
They gotta do it better than some screaming preachers
'Cause homie, we don't believe ya, we've seen grandmas,
Raw bodies, cold knees with heaters
So we're skeptical, it's easier to believe
That there's a Heaven for a thug than to mess with you
It's hard to rise
Listen to the melody
Because we're together
Hey shout out to 9th wonder, no you ain't gotta ask
We both know the same page like a paragraph
And all music, ain't the target of discussion
But it seems the radio has got a problem playin' substance
Listen, partner, they're lying to us, they're selling pies to us
They teach us how to be gang bangers and nine shooters
I've been where you've been, seen what you've seen
Grew up with old dawg, looking mean on the screen
When Nas was street dreaming, and Biggie was still breathin'
And cash ruled everything around me, creamin'
Folks tryna make the hood life a good life
While they in the 'burbs wishing us a good night
And some rappers teach us how to chin check 'em
But I still ain't heard a song about being movie directors
We in your hood, man, we've been where you've been
Been stabbed, been shot, been pinned in the 'Pen
Difference is now when we pick up the pen
We articulate how, God has made us all better man
I'm a college graduate, yes some God-fearing role models
With daughters who do not aspire to be pole models
You are not what the media impose on you
God made you and he rose for you

Featuring: Lecrae

Hey, you know Satan like to play you girl
Biting after the killings, trying to shake you girl
He's so pragmatic, so he's back at it
That's why you gotta flea temptation, tell him "you can have it"
He's a trickster, loves to tell you that you need sin
Make you think you still a slave when you a free men
Always scheming but don't be ignorant
And fall prey to the liar and the lion's den
If you wait till you're alone on a date night
To figure out what's wrong in the late night
It too late right
You got caught up again, and now you back in sin
Feel like you can't ever win
But that's the lie again

Knowing God is the only one who can save us

Ladies, if Song of Solomon had never been written
And you never saw how men were supposed to cherish their women
And look at Ephesians 5, where they nourish their wives
Is he really that type of guy or are you rationalizing
Our God deserves glory
Greatest of love stories
More than movies and TV believe me He knows your needs
He provided His only son
When we aint deserve it
He loves you on your worst days
You know He's perfect
So hold on, wait, be content
You got the greatest
You single, give it away cuz your life was made for the maker
But you got it, it's a gift don't waste that
