Lyrics to Houston We Have A Problem :
Verse 1:
We done came up in the game to rep the name that’s the norm, not ya big body Lac, fat paper sacks, or your charm Not your lady-like diva you use to keep you warm and not the fat happy sack of doja to keep you calm While you big daddy grilling ‘em, Sprewell spinning ‘em, Cadillac killing ‘em, the Lord ain’t felling ‘em See He’s the King and your rocks ain’t work a thing yet you rock the bling, but you ain’t gon mock the King Cause the rocks would sing before He let you block His thing, man just watch the scene because the Rock He is the King And He throwed, but you busy worshipping chrome, thick yella bones in the zone trying to live life on your own And the Lord’s chilling watching man trust himself while we all sinning, we front like we don’t need His help But we all missing the fact that trusting in yourself while you called Christian is still sin in itself
Hook: Houston we have a problem, we have a problem, Houston we have a problem, we have a
Verse 2:
Now you know that you should leave the streets, puffing sweets, chasing cash from week to week, but you won’t because you fiend to see your dreams Owning a house at that place where you can see the beach and easily get them girls that you can see that leave the beach So she can be your stand for one night in between the sheets and then you leave, hop inside your ‘Lac so you can peep the scene You keep it clean gripping on the grain as you sip the lean, swanging mean, sinning like a pimp? Brush your shoulders off You can live like a boss, you can floss like a boss, pay the cost to rep the North, rock a cross and still be lost Cause without the savior no neighbor no paper, no Jacob no make-up could make up the break up, but make us forsake the Creator That’s why we need a Savior that’s why I’m hollering out Jesus, drowning in our sin and we need Him to come retrieve us Believe us it’s time you stopped trusting in yourself, plus your wealth, lay aside every weight before you crush yourself
Hook
Verse 3:
So meet the thesis for my reading the bottom line is you need Him, plus we’re weak and we feening By nature to keep on leaving, chasing beauty that’s fleeting forsaking how we are breathing Replacing Jesus with bondage, like boppers, dollars, and pieces He died to bring us all freedom and rose so we could all meet Him, I know you heard this on Easter, but feast your eyes on the reason God would crucify His seeding when we ain’t nothing but heathens, love made Him cling to a tree when we deserved to be beaten All that so we ain’t gotta trust ourself, trust our health, trust our wealth, it don’t even make no sense cause it’s gon rust and melt Is it the grain, is it the gal, is it the grill? Or is it Christ who paid the price so you could live Or would you rather burn up in Hell for a mill? I doubt it, you missing that Christians are only Christians in Him Although we live forever right now we living better, cause if you ain’t living by grace you’ll die by the letter
Lyrics to Born Again :
Verse 1:
Follow me as I follow Christ, let’s walk the road baby, since Jesus I got a new life
He broke the mold baby, renewed and I got new sight, He moved the old baby
Life is different walking in light and it should show baby
No more wild nights, clubbing and wild fights, bussing them loud pipes, hussling foul types
Dog you won’t catch me pushing jars of that dro, or flirting with the ladies just to see how far this’ll go
And I don’t envy all people that you see on TV, I trust the Father that by His riches He’ll meet my needs
I get excited thinking about Jesus coming back just to get us, I’m that dude that shed tears over the fact you ain’t with us
So I keep it to the right, walking the straight and narrow, no rigid dude but still it’s true I model the master
Like directions I follow the Master if we born again they should see our light like Paul on the road to Damascus
Hook:
Hey I’m born again baby, could care less about flossing, hey I’m born again baby, could care less about that
Hey I’m born again baby, could care less about balling, hey I’m born again baby, could care less about that
Hey I’m born again baby, could care less about flashing, hey I’m born again baby, could care less about that
Hey I’m born again baby, could care less about smashing, hey I’m born again baby, could care less about that
Verse 2:
Temptation runs hard after ya boy so I stand strong, crucify my flesh and stand even if I stand alone
And you won’t catch me tripping off they clothes or their fashion because most of them masking who they is posing and flashing
And I done told you we forgot about the wood grain wheel, but that’s a notion we boasting that the hood can’t feel
Man I don’t trip off the ways of the earth plus I’m a pilgrim passing through so I can’t stay on this earth
So I don’t do this here, for the fame, shiny cars or a icy chain, major clout or a famous name and lose my soul in the process main
To live is Christ and to die is gain, so I live this life in His name, the life to come is where I gain eternal life, we winning main
So best believe I could care less about all of that, over grills or some wheels I can’t see myself falling back
Eternal is my perspective you should get this one quick, me living like the world you got me bent like Twan’s wrist
Hook:
Verse 3:
Sanctified living now that should be the aim of the church, like Israel its holiness first til we under the earth
So I seek accountability because I’m prone to flirt, check the Bible, Acts 2 to see community works
So I won’t play Alicia like keys cause I know what she’s worth, the world boasts about their lust, but hide their pain and their hurt
So we speak of this Jesus that told Nicodemus that life’s intraveinus meaning His blood can redeem us,
Spiritual fetus reborn through believing no longer a heathen, grace we’re receiving and now I’m born again baby, what a relief to be in Jesus
Set free so I’m finished with chasing the skirt catch me following the Rabbi til I’m covered in His dirt
We stand strong to make a statement for Christ, like Black Power, all possible means, 24 like Jack Bauer
2-4 cause we FOTU, true soldiers who show truth, if you living for the Father stand up it’s time to show and prove
Lyrics to Off Da Hook :
Oh yes, you know it’s on again, this for my souled out believers who been born again Yes, oh, you know we born in sin but through the resurrected Lamb we all been born to win Cause at birth sin, we born into this thing, placed at odds with the Father, sworn enemies main And we grow up from the time of inception with lies and deception, obeying our lust hoping that God’ll accept us But oh, no this joint is serious main, unrepentant sin in life, it get’s Him furious main No, oh please don’t trust yourself, trying to carry sin’s weight you’ll crush yourself So when your flesh start rising just hush yourself and put no trust in this world, it’s gon rust and melt So, get down like the bomb’s been dropped, and trust the Father with your life before your time is out
Hook: Off da hook, off da hook, off da hook, off da hook (4x) Oh, we off da hook, oh, we off da hook, oh, you off da hook, oh, she off da hook Oh, he off da hook, oh they off da hook, oh, we off da hook, oh, we off da hook
Oh, yes so peep the scene on the earth stacks of green, racks of lean, plus the green from the earth Yes, oh, man’s in love with himself and anything done good he thinks he does it himself So he trust himself to pay the price for sin thinking if he’s good enough then he can get on in But oh, no he can’t handle the weight cause the judgment of sin is too great We broke the law, man we broke ‘em all, we deserve the penalty to get broken off But He brought me back, took the cross for that, got me off the hook, told me walk in that We all stand to stand trial so I stand and say loud if you stand for anything then stand to stand down And put your trust in the God above, even though we fall short He’s still a God of love
Hook
So what does this mean, we get loud for the Father, act wild for the Father, hands high for the Father Because He put us where we sposed to be, He took Christ holiness and made clothes for me And now that’s close to me, like O to P, because the one who knew no sin got drove for me So I run, run, for the One, One, represent for the Father get crunk, crunk And let the world see your light main, shine it bright main, until they make a change and switch to the right lane We asking ya, be ambassadors, preach Christ to the people like your pastor bruh Don’t pass Him up for the flashy stuff, getting caught up with yourself like a rapper does So, serve the Father for the cost it took, 2 Corinthians 5:21 we off the hook

Lyrics to Significance featuring J.R. :
Verse 1:
Eighteen years a flesh and she news to the Lord, 18 years a fish and she’s new to the yard
She’s a baby drinking milk instead of food that is hard, knew what it was to feel pain since she was 2 in the yard
Memories of daddy getting murked catching 2 in the heart, plus her momma was a product of 70s crack parties
And the lack of supervision allowed her to act naughty
She skipping all class but goin to frat parties, dressed to kill, dolled up, they call her the black Barbie
She rocks the hottest fashion masking her heart’s darting pain behind Greeks saying “Hey, what up shorty?”
She’s love in the attention ignoring her conviction because she’s up in college getting noticed like evictions
And for the first time it’s like she finally found significance, she’s catching compliments but at the cost of her innocence
Hook:
Don’t play yourself like that (like that), make a change I’ll tell you where it’s at (where it’s at)
Place your faith in Christ and He’ll bring you back, bring you back to reality man
Cause you’re stuck in a world full of sin, full of pain, full of scars, money, fashion, and cars
So go ahead and make Him King of your heart and you’ll find yourself in Him
Verse 2:
Young dude up in college feeling cocky like 2 glocks, up in the dorm writing Dear Mama letters like Tupac
Mad at the world that’s trying to break him into 2 parts, feeling cheated, defeated, he’s looking for a new start
His momma lied bout cheating on his daddy, he couldn’t trust her, far as he concerned his real daddy was a busta
So since he couldn’t discern this stuff, nowhere to turn and trust he burned the kush and turned to lust
Women was his escape, adolescence his scapegoat, all the pressures of life wore him down like he played sports
He played sports but that was just for attention his struggles with insecurities made him feel insufficient
The thoughts of other men concerning him kept concerning him, he thought if he didn’t please them then there’s no love for him
Prisoned within himself by the vision of himself, so disgusted with life he wished he was someone else
Hook
Verse 3:
Nobody told us God wanted a relationship, they just said that He was Master with a patient whip
Out to get me if I chose to forsake His gift saying my sin would be the reason if His patience dipped
And I ain’t perfect so I figured that He must hate me, (must hate me) so my hope was to not frustrate things
So I gave Him very Sunday plus my bedtime prayer, and instead of my girl’s room I went to bed downstairs
I lived everyday thinking that His love was conditional believing the subliminals that God was never into us
But despite my world views and my girl’s views I decided to side with the God who changed my world views
It ain’t worth it man to work your hand to plan to please the people, see I’m certain man assertive hands stand to see the cement
All men will bow to this God who’s real, and because of His love your significance is

Lyrics to This Song’s For You :
Hook:
Let’s here it 1 for the pastors and preachers, those who were burdened to teach us just so they could reach us
And 2 for Big Mama, Madeea, Granny Mae, all those who would pray us through the faith
And 3 for the cloud of many witnesses who stood for the faith and paved the way so we could witness this
Kingdom people this song’s for you, kingdom people this song’s for you, so let’s go
Verse 1:
Nine years old getting dropped off at Sunday School, class clowning with my boys I just wanna be cool
See I grew up thinking that church was for the preacher until I met brothers who wanted to reach us and teach us
How to study our Bibles to see what it means and show Christianity isn’t just about what it brings
But sadly there are those who live opposite scripture, Christians to the public who muddy up the picture
Cause for too long cats like Kells and Maze been the spokesmen all the while the public see us as a joke man
So this song’s for the true shepherds who prove selfless whose aim is to aid the true helpless
I mean brothers like Spurgeon and Piper, Tom Nelson, John Edwards, brothers who make disciples
Those who because of Ezekiel 34 shepherd the flocks as a true pastor of the Lord
Hook
Verse 2:
I was a hardhead growing up in Buzzard Root, Texas where the girls was fast acting and the men would plex us
Where nobody seemed to care so my cousins was reckless, but from moms and Madeea there was more that was expected
From their perspective life wasn’t over they all had a sense of hope that was based on Jehovah and more over
They knew the life to come, they had a love for their people based on Christ the Son
And as I write this song I can remember many times I left home mama crying just wishing I’d try Him
Well I tried Him mama and I kept Him too I praise God that Madeea nem’ was praying me through
Thank you Miss Luke, Mama Grant, and Aunt Jessie Mae, Mama, all those who would pray us through the faith
This song’s for you, knowing no one can compare to you, to me, Madeea’s more than a Tyler Perry character
Hook
Verse 3:
There are those that have gone on and gone home to worship at the throne, but their lives live on
It’s their precedence of faith that gives the evidence of faith exhorting residence of grace to lay aside every weight that hinders our race
True examples from the Father that even if we’re martyred our faith should never falter
I pray we trust in the Father like Jacob and Joseph, true faith hall of famers like David and Moses
And I praise God for my present day models, from the Columbine daughters to my spiritual fathers
Thank you God for Dhati, Keynon, LeCrae, and Sho, Godly men that’s an example of which way to go
And to the sistas I see ya’ll holding it down, standing firm for the faith like light poles in the ground
This song’s dedicated to all ya’ll who’s true, kingdom people let’s go, this song’s for you

Lyrics to Do You Feel :
Hook:
Do you feel? Do you feel like reppin Him now, because if no one did then I wouldn’t be reppin Him now
But somebody did so dog I’m here reppin Him now, encouraging you as believers to start reppin Him now (2x’s)
Verse 1:
Now I was dirty and lost in sin, all my sins I had sought for them, hunting girls with the softest skin, with the whip they be flossing in
Had no thoughts like incompetence, lust confusing my common sense
My flesh had the dominance telling me Go like Common Sense
I was lustful guy, trust me my, eyes wandered like a nomad, taking snap shots like my eyes had came from Kodak
One of many struggles from my past like a throwback,
It’s tuff, it’s a struggle but still a sin dog I know that
I was trippin getting caught up in the same old trap, unmortified sin suffering the same old crap
That’s until my boy stepped in with the love of the Father, preaching the Jesus you hearing through these speakers and monitors
Hook
Verse 2:
Now let me know if you in the mood yet, and if you are then why is it you ain’t moved yet?
Is it because you’re amazed with this world of lust? What does it take for you to see that this world is crushed?
I promise, we all die plus this world is snuffed, but I struggled with this too until my world was crushed, so
Let’s take a look at what’s surrounding us, and take a look at life’s predicament that’s drowning us
See we al l born in sin but Christians are born again so if your livings old living then live in the live again,
Delivered since we began to live in this til the end, defeated living is lifted to live it just live in Him
Hook
Verse 3
Do you feel like reppin Him now? Souls are lost without the cross, times are treacherous now
Kids admire snowmen instead of reverends now, they’d rather make instead of become the president now
Trap fights for trap spaces in your residence now, crack pipes and crack babies that’s your evidence now
Ain’t no time to recline learn the regimine now, just tell me potna do you feel like reppin Him now?
See the times are too tuff ain’t no stepping it down, all of my cousins looking for clubs when they step into town
All the hoods infatuated with them that go round, and Christians believe the lie, Ain’t no helping it now
But it’s I who beg to differ the indifference found because I refuse to believe that God left us to drown
See since He gave us His life then I present to Him mine and because of His grace I fell like reppin Him now

Lyrics to On Now featuring Phanatik :
Verse 1:
Do you remember when you first got saved? And felt the feeling of the quenching of the thirst God gave
Do you remember when your members all were rendered back to sender and the feeling of His sealing satisfied like a Snicker
There’s relief from the grief of the thief through belief
So excited about His peace you recited it to your peeps so delighted to hit the streets plus excited to win His sheep
However we passively sever the action we zealously seek (why?)
Fear begins to increase because you notice your peeps would rather celebrate the world than ever embrace His peace
They seem to find it in sweets, toting holsters of heat, finding comfort like the Isley Brothers in between the sheets
To them the gospel message is foolish and unfulfilling so you base the Great Commission on whether or not they feeling you
The gospel’s offensive except to repentive, so man up for the manna from Heaven and represent Him
Hook:
We press our claim we make it plain
Hey it’s on now
Phanatik’s insane with this thang
Hey it’s on now
Elected and chosen to rep
Main it’s on now
It’s on now, it’s on now (2x)
Verse 2 (Phanatik):
I can remember when heaven made the connection and stepped into my section and blessed me with the blessing
Of a calling and election, He made the call and collection I was all in awe of Him plus I was all in for reppin, But
I can remember when my feet started slipping and I almost lost my grip cause I was grappling with dipping
Into the forbidden to fulfill desires that were hidden not facing temptation with the blatent statement it is written, Now, isn’t it blasphemous to live life like we have to get this lavish lifestyle while acting like creaturely happiness is just as important as watching our Maker sporting a smile while He staring at us while we’re spinning on our access
This isn’t Hell but I’m sure this isn’t heaven, it’s sort of short of a little bit of both cause both of them are present in the sense that both are possible, watch it the only obstacle stopping you from going to one or the other is the God you know
Hook
Verse 3:
(Tedashii)
See acts of sin taxes men, finds a corner and backs you in, and embarrassment harass men til you silent like passive men
Don’t let fear grip you, know the Spirit is with you and be encouraged cause there are saints that have seen what you’ve been through
(Phanatik)
We got Phanatik and T-dot on the beat, ride with our feet shod with the gospel of peace, we won’t keep quiet
If the Lord keeps us from cherishing sin or fearing men to the point that we’re embarrassed of Him
(Tedashii)
So what’s the deezy? We either scared or snared b and one of them has got us caught up and we scared to share
But they won’t beat us into silence and no keeping us quiet, see we love Him too much just to be kept muzzled and bridled
(Phanatk)
My tounge/, (yours too) is powerful like shotgun power when it gets left out it gets set on blaze
That’s how come/I will bridle it and won’t leave it idle and let it off unless it’s setting off praise
Hook
Lyrics to Lifestyle :
Hook:
This is our lifestyle, working til our lights out
No 9 to 5 I’m His work at work I mean right now
Give me a clean heart Lord to show your attributes
I pray You take me out this life if I turn my back on You
Verse 1:
The Rock of Ages rocks this nation likes distorted basses, my proclamation- God’s amazing His love drives me crazy
My occupation- teaching freedom from the blocks of slavery, like doctor’s patients we need saving like adopted babies
Cause we’re endentured dead walking to our devastation, but call me Morgan I’m a freeman no more driving Daisy
And by His Spirit He enlightened my heart, gave me a start and showed me that there’s hope despite when it’s dark, no lie
Cause prior to salvation I was walking in sin, just call me Treach because my nature was as naughty as his
And I was darkened within just like a house without the lights on, til God gave me life like your team when they hear the fight song
And now the fight’s on, lifestyle reppin the Father, if sin is Roy Jones then call me Antonio Tarver
Go harder than ballas in college who on scholarship in order to know of the Father through more than just scholarship
Hook
Verse 2:
Hey now we crowd corners with Bibles spitting warnings through rhymes with crowds forming bout the One that’s coming
Saying bump it if rejected cause they drunk and in dejected, like Paul I’ll endure it for the sake of the elected
Working for the Father because works should be the fruit of faith and not the vice versa because works can’t bring you saving grace
Then through regeneration it’s like He changed the station, He cleans your heart then fixes it to seek sanctification
Thus a new nature from the nomaly that’s phenomenal, prodigal to adopted son so I’ll go beyond the call
Aw ya’ll done messed up and let us in your hood, I rep the Savior who was hazed but He took the wood
This is my lifestyle, nope will never pipe down, until the day that I’m dead I’ll cast out this lifeline (2x)
Hook
Verse 3:
Elected and I’m born again, justified though born in sin, purchased with a price through Christ my life it now belongs to Him
His workmanship is seen through the workmanship of His work done, me a masterpiece of the Master’s piece through His murked Son
Saved to works of righteousness, grace through faith ignited this, there’s no condemnation for those clothed in His Christ-likeness
Oh yes I’m a new creature, no sex lying with Sheba, in Christ there’s new life not through my might but it’s found in Jesus
Since I received His great salvation I’m His master work, He surpassed my work passed me work, that’s just how the Master works
Now like I’m in detention in school I’m in position, new life new rights new sight new fight through Christ that’s my description
So now I’ll walk in the good works that have been prepared for me, God’ll work them out I just trust in faith that He’s there for me
And live this life with boldness standing to proclaim His name walking in holiness bearing fruit as one who claims His name
Lyrics to Unconditional :
Verse 1:
5:46 in the morning tossing and turning cause I’m worried about if we gone break up in the morning
When I see her after class cause I messed up big, for two days I made her mad this got me stressed out kid
And even though we’re still together it seems I’m losing her heart, it’s like every time I disappoint her we grow further apart
Why does this seem to be the norm for life? I’ve gone through life feeling the blame of losing love cause I wronged the right
I promise I know that I’m not perfect man and my life, it’s the reason why churches stand
But it doesn’t help when I’m a hurting man, those closest to me call me a burden man
Because their thoughts of me, a sinner, because they bought for me a dinner, I feel rejected, I mean their hugs are even costing me
Some feel the boss of me and if I buck they tossing me, awfully I feel rejected, this loves killing me softly
Hook:
It was love unconditional that bought me back, it was love unconditional that made me accepted
It was love unconditional that taught me that my salvation is the proof that I’m never rejected
It was love unconditional that gave me grace, it was love unconditional that made me accepted
It was love unconditional He took my place, my salvation is the proof that I’m never rejected
Verse 2:
Between my girl and this world it seems I’ll never get it right, even pastor seems to reject me when I’m absent Wednesday night
I watch my girl ignore me, then my boys abhor me, and even my own family not get their way and act sorely
Surely there’s a love for me, even though I trip and fall short of the place I’m supposed to be
But after years of this kind of love and tears that’ll drown a tub, I just learn to accept, by people this is how I’m loved
But somehow when I ran to the Father to give my hand to the Father, and stand in the Father I put the ways of a man on the Father
And I began believing His love was conditional and that I had to work to earn that just to get in good with God
Of course I believed He could save my soul, but I was having problems believing He could make me whole
For too many years I lived with people who made me earn love, but as a Christian I learned I needed to relearn love
Hook
Verse 3:
His love is unconditional, unlike the unoriginal, He took the unforgiveable, gave us His Son’s positional
See we were dead to the Father because of our actions we fled from the Father indulging in the sin that kept us dead to the Father
But God who is rich in mercy and love made us alive with Christ and to His position raised us up
So that means God accepts me cause He sees me in Christ and He’ll never reject me, His love’s not the seasonal type
And since my works didn’t save me then my work can’t sustain me unlike man I learned I don’t need works for Him to take me
He made me to love me, He made you to love you, He’s always been there just look at what you’ve come through
Don’t make God to be a man see I fell into Satan’s plan and believed the lie no one loves me for who I am
But no longer will I live in that prison but instead believe the fact I’m loved cause of the fact that I’m forgiven

Lyrics to Bout Time featuring Cam :
Hook:
Bout time that we do this thing right, man it’s about time that we make her my wife
If she’s a friend and a woman of God, should be treated like a sister in Christ
Bout time that we follow His word, if she’s your woman then love her like Christ loved the church
Let’s not confuse this love with eros, phileo, but keep this relationship right
Verse 1:
Saturday evening we all chilling at my boy’s crib, debating, philosophizing like Paul at Mars Hill
And then she walked in and caught my eye as she walked by, I thought why not I sought her out, posted up, started talking
Played my position right, prayed my decisions right, but she’s a Christian right, seems my decisions right
So I pursued her and called and tried to suture her heart up, and sweep her off her feet, hoping that my future has got her
Spending time together, feeling intertwined together, life is so sublime together, I could see her down forever,
I’m so in love with this girl man, I can’t see myself without her up in this world man, when I was down she was down in a hurry man, she calmed me down through my problems and my worries man,
And plus she took away my bad time putting a smile on my face, even during sad times, to me this girl blows my mind
Hook
Verse 2
It’s been 7 months and things ain’t as good as it was, we seem to grow apart like distant relatives does
And in a panic we, franticly, tried to handle this, dismantle this?, that’s not an option for us in our relationship
Sadly we turned to lust, thought that would be enough, see ran to it for the rush, all the while we losing touch
Ignoring that we sinning, living to regain a feeling, trying our hardest to recapture this love thru hugging a kissing
But this ain’t working man, feels like a burden man, don’t know what happened but this feels like it ain’t worth it man
I tried hard to have a change of heart, I really did, I beg the Lord to come and flame the spark, said I’d repent
But out of obligation feels like I gotta stay but deep inside I’m fight pride, wishing that I got away
I gotta pray cause now a day’s I treat her like I never knew her when the truth was I’d probably feel her if she was newer
Hook
Verse 3
To many times I see this cycle like in Judges, a guy approaches a girl and tries to date her without proper judgement
He jus t goes off his senses, cause of looks he get’s in this, no proper perspective of purpose so he calls it friendship
While she thinks that you’re dating, she sits back patient, waiting debating your intentions, wishing for more than conversation
But guys are so passive and that’s our sin man, like Adam we go with the flow but leadings on the men man
So what’s your true motive cause some of us are players living on the low, we play with hearts but when it comes to love we saying no
Improperly engaging the hearts of these ladies, if you have no plan or purpose of pursuit, ain’t no point in dating
This seems old school, I know it’s old dude, but we suffer if things ain’t done the way they suppose to
I know you like her but check your motives, make sure their right, and guard her heart exhorting her as a sister in Christ
Lyrics to We Did featuring Trip Lee :
Verse 1:
Ok, why did we do it? Cause mommy thought it was too late, the struggle in her flesh got her mixed up just like a Clue tape
She straddling the fence switching back and forth just like two lanes, so we present the grace that’s available since this Jew came
Why did we do it? Cause we deny the hand that was given, we’d rather prison before we choose the Lamb that is risen
We’re unaware that our hearts are deceitfully wicked, if trusted it’ll trick you like Shai Linne when he flipped it
So don’t come up in the game tip toein, dip low when we blowin, tip slow and chill upon the fact men going through notions still joking imploding
They lookin up to God for props and mo dollars for collars for poppin, but it on a move, yo crosses, cause lost men seek flossing like bosses
It’s 1-1-6 the only reason I live, make it plain like window panes and outfits without appeal
Yes I am young and like Vince I rally, I’m unashamed I stand out like Longhorns in Cali
Hook:
Because of God’s love and grace – that’s why we did what we did
For little kids up in the faith – that’s why we did what we did
His Son died up in our place – that’s why we did what we did
To meet the Father face to face – that’s why we did what we did
To show them boys it’s not an act – that’s why we did what we did
Because the Christ is comin back – that’s why we did what we did
To rep His name and hold it down – that’s why we did what we did
We grab mikes and say it loud – that’s why we did what we did
Verse 2 (Trip-Lee):
Hey, cats always wanna ask us why we made a switch to livin life for the Master
Ain’t nothing great as this, we don’t be feelin like we have to be smoking and drinking Cris
They don’t understand so they be asking why like Jadakiss
We used to be your average dudes main livin just to live with ungodly attitudes, straight content within our sin
But glory to God He snatched us up out of confusion, we ain’t fools cause Christ cross shook us like we was hoopin main
We ain’t even know that our vision was blurred, was all up in the world, but wouldn’t get in the word
You wonder why we dirty south but ain’t sippin the syrup, cause He took the crucifixion still was risen on the third
His Spirit took control that’s why we some new creatures, taught us everything we know like He was a school teacher
Now we pursue Jesus we ain’t livin in sin, cause He snatched us out the pit that’s why we did what we did
Hook
Verse 3:
Hey it’s T-dot, I’m back on your corner up in your hood main, still reaching for them junky moneys grippin the wood grain
Still reaching out to my family just like I should main, even if they blow me off with it’s all good main
Cause the truth of the gospel I got it, just like apostles I shout it, loud like little kids who be pouting, til this whole circle get crowded
See the world is undoubtedly cursed with a curse, so we spit a verse with no curse for the reverse of the curse
Children are fighting to live, addicts keep popping them pills, Christians are frightened to spill, passively croppin them fields
I’m unashamed of the God who would take my blame, the lashes on the Master passed me fastly when Jesus came
So reading His word- that’s me, witness on curbs- that’s me, no 4 letter words- that’s me, does this sound absurd? That’s me
See through what Jesus did, now we some believer kids, see it’s His love that compels us to do what we did
Lyrics to No More featuring Lecrae :
Verse 1 (Lecrae):
No more hang time or playing time, man it’s about to be game time, I hate you sin you quench the Spirit, done them both at the same time
First you holla ride with us then my flesh start to rising up this why 1 Corinthians was talking about all that dying stuff
Sick of heartache sick of pain sick of you I gotta quit this main, but me in my flesh can do nothing without the Spirit main
Eyes haven’t seen ears haven’t heard of the things revealed (revealed), by the Spirit dwelling within me through which I’m sealed
I no longer belong to you, I’m not holding on to you, I fight with all this might through every night that I long for you
I wrote this here song for you, My hatred is strong for you my love for God is greater than the lusts that I owned for you
Cause everything’s wrong with you, the world wanna roll with you instead of you slaving me the Holy Spirit’s controlling you
And this here I know is true the scriptures are showing you, since I belong to Christ I ain’t gon take this no more from you
Hook:
We not gon take it no more (8x)
Verse 2:
Dog I remember thirsting for God wanting that sweet communion, on and on my soul was longing for us to live this union
Wanted nothing else in life except to just be with Him, felt like nothing in this world could ever compete with Him
But I’m in college now (college now) trying to walk this out (walk this out) but it’s harder now (harder now) can I talk to y’all? (talk to y’all)
I got caught in this mess yearning to walk in the flesh and thirst for Him less watching her walk in that dress
I saw the cross and how it took me from the worldly things and how He told me to count loss the dross and earthly things
I know I wanna sin (hey) but dog I’m born again (hey) and by His grace He displaced my disgrace and now it’s on again
So I’m a buffet my body make it my slave main crucify my flesh daily til I see my grave main
I’m a fight and your games I won’t play them no more, to the world listen up, we fed up, we not gon take this no more
Bridge:
We ain’t no slave to sin, we ain’t no slave to sin, we not gon take it no more because we born again (4x)
Lyrics to Party Music featuring Flame :
Verse 1:
What it do derrty, I see you playing the walls, you out here beefing with out beats and you keep playing us soft
Claiming that you need something to make you move like evictions, and if you moving to this beat then ain’t no way that it’s Christian
But derrty, we understand that sin is much more appealing, that’s why fellas run to girls with clothes that’s much more revealing
But I bet you if this song was about clicking and clacking or grills, you’d have no problem putting a dip in your back and that’s real
See the problem ain’t the track or the groove, retracting your moves, perhaps this world’s attractive to you
And you’re in love with the feeling from the records they spinning, but the issue is you love it to the point that you sinning
It’s unfulfilling I promise when your party is done a part of you longs for at least another part of the fun
Uh-oh, you don’t wanna be found in that position, especially a Christian (a Christian?) compromising your living
Hook:
They don’t want that godly music but naughty music/that party music/that make you shake your body music/and you ain’t gotta leave the church to find music/that will put in work (2x’s)
(Errbody wanna Party) 5x’s
Verse 2: (Flame) Marcus T.
Man I came from the club scene house parties, block parties, OG’s hit the liquor store and cop 40s
Covered up with them brown paper bags, raw jeans pulled down make ‘em sag
Silver chain used to say it was white gold, rap music made me cooler than ice cold
Until my life froze and the good news of Christ interrupted like them commercials from Geico
And like Nitro, I quickly got rid of my Biggy and Tupac that made me feel like I was psycho
Said to myself, guess for me that rap’s dead, started feening for them 808′s like a crack head
All I needed was a window and a rope for suicide, but God provided the antidote
Raw beats and some Godly music, only problem now is that we hardly use it
Hook
Verse 3:
All ready baby, I seen you bounce to this, ain’t no need for you to front, you can get down with this
Yeah you heard us say Jesus that’s cause we kingdom people, it’s a trip to hear this music banging knocking your steeples
I know it shocks you baby, but then rocks you baby, and you ain’t gotta leave the church to find music that put in work (put in work)
But I guess we seem weak to you, cause we ain’t braggin bout our clothes, we’d rather speak to you
Hey Thiz, maybe I ain’t got enough dope in my rhyme or brag about a body count to get ‘em scoping rhyme
(Nope) I’ll keep the main thang the main thang main and pray that you get the point so you can maintain main
Lyrics to Free featuring Diamone :
Verse 1:
Heaven presents another smash hit for Jesus, that keeps you rockin when we’re dropping phat masterpieces
I pray you seek this great God you should get to know Him, and if you do make it known so your set can know Him
We spit to show Him in all of His splendor and to share His matchless love that made me surrender
See we celebrate the Father who would send His Son because according to the text I was a wretch undone
Lord, I was lost in sin and lovin my ways til You came to my rescue like government aid
Sin had me in a trial just like a subpoena, and in Your court I couldn’t stand like a leg without the femur
So now instead of Judge Lord, I know You as Redeemer, You’re sovereign even if there was a Hurricane Katrina
You saved men and You placed them in the prints of your feet
The Prince of Peace with nail prints that proves I’m free
Hook:
Oh, I’m free, I’ve never known a love like Yours before, and now
I’m free, I’ve never known a life with peace and security
But Your love restores, and breaks down the doors
You looked passed me and saw my needs, and set me free, I’m free
Verse 2:
I was bound to the Law, like a husband to a wife, there were standards I couldn’t keep, it’s like I cheated every night
Which made sin prevalent, bringin death to life and provided me with the evidence we’re in a losing fight
And like marriage, only death severs ties to the Law, knowing this Jesus stepped in and provided for your boy
He lived a perfect life fulfilling standards and perfection and gave men grace through His death and resurrection
Now if we’d only take turn for the better and realize that the cravings of the flesh will never let up
Then we see that cheddar in the possession of our mortal eyes hail when compared to the One immortalized
So now thanks to Christ I’m not an orphan like Annie because God adopted me and made me part of His family
Me and God are reunited and it feels so good, I praise God for the day that Keynon brought me good news
Hook
Verse 3:
We see ordinary people getting lifted by John Legend, but this is when we get excited writing about John’s legend
John 1:14 meet the Word in the flesh, Christ perfect in His person placing burdens to rest
But I’m free, no condemnation for me because I’m crucified with Christ, plus His love delivered me
God loved us enough that He would give His only kid, Jesus came to live the perfect life that none of us could live, and I’m free
Vamp:
There was a time when my heart was on the line
All of my hope was gone and my soul was out of time
But Your love restores and breaks down the doors
You looked passed me and saw my needs, and now I can say, I’m free

Lyrics to In Ya Hood Cypha Remix featuring Trip Lee, Thi’sl, Json, Sho & Lecrae :
Aw man ya’ll done messed up and let us in ya hood
Hook:
We back in ya hood, aw man
Verse 1 (Trip-Lee):
These ain’t the Boyz in the Hood but these boys in ya hood
Bringing joy to ya hood, making noise in ya hood
Trying to tell the people bout the Lord ’cause He’s good
No guns on the waist, we bring our swords to ya hood
We know we aint the dudes the radio wanna play
Cause we don’t smoke drank or tote a 44 on the waist
They got them youngsters yearning lusting for change
And they determined to get they verses stuck in ya brain
Our main thing is to get the Lord’s Word in ya brain
So you can learn of the King turn and worship His name
We deserve worse we came to Earth cursed, enslaved
But this perfect person yearns to purchase us main
And free us, so we ain’t gotta flirt with the flames
He offers to clean us, like a shirt with a stain
His name is proclaimed yeah we know that Jesus is better
That’s why we tryin to teach ‘em and reach ‘em with records
Verse 2 (Thi’sl):
You know your boy hood like old school and check cards, we ain’t posting trying to trap fam, we rep God
In the worst areas of your city, you know who I’m rolling with, you peep the stitch on my fitty
We preaching Christ in our Dickies no more sex in the city, we ain’t chopping out here derrty we ain’t popping no fifties
Aw man, they done let your boy jump on this remix, even in the hood you see me posted with my crucifix
If you see us on the streets you know we preaching the Word, from the middle of the map all the way to the third
You know what the mission is if we posting the curb, the gospel, the only thing that we package and serve
We spit bars praying that the truth will make you switch lanes, get changed like some money passed in a dice game
This the aim for the whole squad since Christ came (we ain’t ashamed), you know the rest derrty go on and peep game
Hook
Verse 3 (J-Son):
Aw yeah we in ya hood just to rep the Lord, His word’ll melt your hard heart like a Nestle bar
Trip-lee said what it do, let me tell you what it is, we wanna lead more slaves out than Harriet Tubman did
Slaves to what? Slaves to sin, you ain’t seeing a change, the reason is plain, you ain’t bow to Jesus’ name
Look we ain’t got no time to slack boy, this here is major, that’s why we bring the truth in trap form without the paper
So you gon see us posted when you look on the block, I’m a hustler I want your hood hooked on that rock (I got that rock)
Yeah that’s right fam I’m rolling with Jesus whose body was broken up like B2K group
Come on and shake loose like a Winans track, cause you’re useless without your life and the Vine attached
So get connected with the truth dog and mash with that, cause without Christ it’s hard to breathe like a asthma attack
Verse 4 (Sho):
What it do, what’s the deal, what’s good? We saints, we scholars, we hood
We use Alpine and Fosgate to preach Christ, bang it in your speakers He fits any stereo type
We stay seeking His face plus our fellowship’s deep, I couldn’t survive just giving God one day a week
You would think I was from the farm and not the city streets, by the way that boy from Cali just love to feed sheep
They ask me why I do this, I got hits in my head, nails hitting His wrists, the gospels hitting the dead
But there’s too many emcees and not enough preach, but if you wanna do more than rap then call Reach
But if you just wanna rap then call Diddy, you can make his band, catch cheesecake and run the city
We keep it FOTU til the day that He come, gotta call Christ the Son cause He shine like one
Hook
Verse 5 (LeCrae):
We in ya hood and we can’t stop running, the clock’s on, so get your boots laced and keep your socks on
Cause shorty still off on the ave with the glocks on, and yeah they still banging them heads like rock songs
Kids getting grown and they doing profane things main, sinners still sinning, they doing the same thing
It seem kinda hard out here on a main vein, we preach God’s truth in order to change things
The world still passing away, we passing the phrase, no, not passing a daze by passing a J
Naw you can find us preaching Jesus passionately, and if you ain’t using that microphone then pass it to me
Cause I rap, but some I folks don’t do that there, lot of em behind the scenes like who that there?
They still preach Jesus while they do that hair, take orders sell shoes yeah they do that there
We ain’t supposed to stop running dog we after the prize that won’t bend break or rust or perish with time
We ain’t chasing the wind naw we chasing to win women and men and tell them Christ erases they sin
Verse 6 (Tedashii):
Aw naw ya’ll done messed up and let us in ya hood again, and my hope is to get you back where you shoulda been
Back with the Father the fact is we falling we don’t combat them we used songs to get at them
And despite all their chatter and their whoopty whoop, we want you looking at the stratus like a roofless coupe
Because the Lord’s coming back like those zootsy suits, but we caught up in ourselves like a bougie nupe
We fight a toothless brute who would confuse the truth and keep you going all in circles like a girl’s hoola hoop
So we behoove the youth getting all in your area, accept the Christ because the fall’s getting scarier
We bury ya now at 12 years instead of 80, that’s 68 so from 6 to 8 before the dash meets the date we get it in in that 10 trying to get them in
That’s why we all up in your hood like some spinning rims
