Lyrics to Lecrae:Check In:
Yo, check me in
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Check me in
I know I’m sick and my addiction got me itchin’
Everyday I need a fixin’
I ain’t quittin’ till it kill me
Ya hear me, I like the feel but hate the taste of the product
Like the numb on the tongue when you taste narcotics
The bass gets to bumpin’
You can feel what I’m drummin’
Death is comin’, I’m tryna warn ‘em
That’s why I was summoned
I know that they don’t want it, they want what they can’t have
Euphoria come and go but it’s something you can’t grasp
Yeah, we’re grasping for the emptiness, hoping we can catch something
Hand full of scars, cuts, burns, as the flesh wants
Verge of insanity, stop me ‘for I’m gone
I say I’m gon’ quit but I’m at it in the morn’
It goes on and on and on and now I’m used to it
This a lifestyle now and I don’t know what else to do
Got a war inside my soul and it’s wantin’ to break through
I’m ready for Rehab, jus’ do what ya gon’ do
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab
(Aye, aye, aye, aye)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab
Lyrics to Lecrae:Killa:
Uh, I know it’s going to kill me but I just can’t let it go
And the taste so appealing got a grip upon my soul
These honey dip lies mesmerize me
Pride’s got its crooked fingers twisted all inside in me
Fools walk the path I’m on, never to be seen again
Sipping on seduction while we eating on some secret sin
(Not a lot of love and mercy) says the whisper in my ear
And I know I should be over this, but I ain’t seeing clear
And I aint leaving here, unless somebody save me
Walking to my grave letting evilness enslave me
Evil looks so lovely covered in her lace of lies
And the silky smooth seduction just manipulates my mind
Her fabrical fabrication is fueling my fascination
While I’m intoxicated she starts her assassination
I’m losing all my honor and my years to the merciless
Giving all my life away but I’m just so immersed in this (killa)
Hook:
Baby this is innocent (Killa) it won’t even hurt a little bit (Killa)
I’m only here for your benefit (killa) I’m your every wish (Killa)
Come on and let me in (killa), baby this is innocent (Killa)
And it won’t even hurt a little bit (Killa) Close your eyes and let’s get lost tonight
(Killa) Would it be alright? You’ll see (killa)
Her feet go down to DEATH, so don’t let her consume you
Even though her heart is black, her exterior’s beautiful
She’ll take your life away, strip away your joy
Pretends that she gon build you up but she’s just gon destroy you
My friends fell low, when they was so high
Got me running scared of myself, no lie
And I know I’m gon die, I tried cold turkey
But when I’m feeling worthy, Satan’s sure trying to merk me
I’m doing myself dirty, flirting with whats perverted
I should follow the word but I guess I’d rather be murdered
Excuse me I mean martyred ‘cause I’m killing myself
My sin conceived a baby, and we gon name it death, breath
(Gasps) -Taker, she take my breath away
Replaces it with poison and I’m so swept away
I need some bread today hope I wake up
Before they start my wake up somebody make me break up
I’m dating a (Killa)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Divine Intervention ft. J.R.
Intro:
You know in intervention they tell you that you’re hurting somebody who loves you, and divine intervention’s no different, yea, the moment is now
Hook:
Here is my moment, here is my lifetime
All that I have I will give to You
In this moment, ’cause nothing really matters at all
Verse 1:
God created days, weeks, summer, spring, winter, fall
Yup, became weak so You could free us from the fall
You hold the earth in Your palm with Your great power
You always have the time the way You transcend hours
Wind and the waves tsunami is ’round
But You walk on top of them both
They humbly bow
Before I work I need a couple tools
You spoke the earth into existence, no auto tune
More than auto tune, more than minor key
‘Cause I’ve been missing all the notes
In the minor keys and the major ones
And the key to life is coming to the end of it
And embracing Christ
Hook:
Here is my moment, here is my lifetime
All that I have I will give to You
In this moment, ’cause nothing really matters at all
Everything that this heart longs for other than You I will let die
Take all that I am ’cause nothing really matters right now
This is my moment
Verse 2:
I holla empty me
So hollow be my name
You’re so immense
But condescend and dwell inside my frame
You restrain the waves
And tame fierce lions
I mean fierce liars, crush empires
We all hanging by a thread cutting at the wires
Ignorant that all the sin lead to hellfire
And when I yell fire, they tell me false alarm
‘Cause they don’t smell the smoke and they don’t sense the harm
Something worse than the black plague’s coming
And nothing under the sun can save us from it
There’s no hope but divine intervention
And Christ saves victims who are dying from addiction
Hook:
Here is my moment, here is my lifetime
All that I have I will give to You
In this moment, ’cause nothing really matters at all
Everything that this heart longs for other than You I will let die
Take all that I am ’cause nothing really matters right now
This is my moment
Verse 3:
They say in God we trust
But what’s the bigger sin
That we don’t trust in Him
But trust the stuff on which its written (that’s money)
‘Cause we all dying and we all trying
To stay alive but the truth we ain’t all buying
Those of us who buy it, We’re never bought from
We gon’ live free forever
We are gonna live forever in the Savior’s arms
It’s all needles in arms full of life’s drugs
Lust, pride, hate, death running through our blood
Need a blood donor, need a transfusion
He’s over hanging on the cross for your substitution
So in conclusion, only one solution
Trust divine intervention as your resolution
Hook:
Here is my moment, here is my lifetime
All that I have I will give to You
In this moment, ’cause nothing really matters at all
Everything that this heart longs for other than You I will let die
Take all that I am ’cause nothing really matters right now
This is my moment
Lyrics to Lecrae:Just Like You ft. J. Paul:
(J-Paul)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to
You’re teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you
(Verse 1- Lecrae)
Yeah, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,
Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly
I grew up empty since my daddy wasn’t with me shoot,
I wasn’t picky I’d take any male figure
You
stepped in at the right time,
It’s ‘cuz of you that I write rhymes
You probably never knew that
I loved the way you used to come through come through,
Teach me to do the things that men do
True,
You showed me stuff I probably shouldn’t have seen,
But you rebelled and made it out your teens,
and took me under your wings
I wanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you,
Lean to the side when I rolled just like you
And care people didn’t like you,
You wanna bang, I wanna bang too
Skyline,pyru
You would’ve died, I would’ve died too,
You went to prison, got sick, lost your pops,
Yeah,I cried too
You never know who’s right behind you,
Gotta a little son now and he do whatever I do
But it’s something deep inside you,
That tell it’s gotta be more than doing what other guys do,
They had nobody there to guide you
But I followed your footsteps and this shouldn’t surprise you,
You realize you, you, you
Yeah,
(Chorus)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to,
You’re teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you
(Verse 2)
Now all I see is money, cars, jewels,
Stars
Womanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,
Drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life
Everything I wanted and everything I could ask life
If this ain’t living and they lied well,
guess I married an old wives’ tale
Wow, fail
I don’t know another way to go,
This is the only way they ever showed
I got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval because I missed out on my daddy saying, way to go,
And get that verbal affirmation on know how to treat a woman,
Know how to fix an engine,
That keep the car running
So now I’m looking at the media and following what they feed me,
Rap stars, trap stars,
Whoever wants to lead me
Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me,
They say I’m good at bad things at least they proud of me
(Chorus)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to
You’re teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you
(Like you)
(Verse 3)
I was created by God but I ain’t wanna be like Him,
I wanna be Him
The Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean
I remember the first created being,
And how he shifted the blame on his dame
On fruit he should’t have eaten
And now look at us all out of Eden,
And now look at us all that are eating,
Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis Vuitton
Make believe it
But God sees through my foolish pride,
And I’m weak life Adam another victim of Lucifer’s foolish lies
But then in steps Jesus,
All men were created to lead but we need somebody to lead us
More than a teacher,
But somebody who buy us back from the darkness,
Say He redeemed us,
Taught us that real leaders follow God,
Finish the work ‘cuz we on our job
Taught us not to rob
But give life love a wife like He loved the Church,
Not seeing how many hearts we can break first
I wanna be like you in every way,
So if I gotta die everyday
Unworthy sacrifice
But the least I can do is give the most to me
Because being just like you is what I’m ‘spose to be
You said you came for the lame,
I’m the lamest
I made a mess you say you’ll erase it,
I’ll take it
You said you came for the lame,
I’m the lamest
I broke my life, but you say you’ll replace it,
I’ll take it.
(I just gotta be like,….)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Gotta Know ft Benjah:
(You just gotta know)
You ever feel like life just comin’ at ya a million miles an hour?
(You just gotta know)
You just gotta know
Somebody’s holdin’ it all together
Life is like an elevator, a lot of ups and downs
People pushin’ your buttons and gettin’ jerked around
I used to lurk around town tryin’ to work around
Workin’ so that I could hit the ground with the perfect sound
Even perfect sound sounds like work
When you spend your time flirtin’ with the crown in the perp
I was bound for Berzerk with a layover in Crazy,
A lazy Jay-Z hopin’ rock-a-fellas paid me
Or rockin’ ladies were caught me a Mercedes
But that whole dream was in ‘80′s baby
Missed that shot like the cop that’s crooked
TV goes off, third eye still lookin’
Mom still cookin’, I can always go home
Even though I’m five years past grown (five years past grown)
Here I go again, I’m still chasin’ the wind, I can’t win
When it gets hot, it boils down to sin
If Heaven ain’t a gift, then I ain’t getting’ in (man)
I can’t even find the words for the way I feel
So I paint a picture, I paint a picture
I’ve been goin’ down this road, seen some crazy things
So I paint a picture, you gots to see it
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
(Yeah) I sit and hear the guitars play,
Wonder if they could, what would stars say or Venus and Mars say
Or say that we want it our way,
Stars so desperate to shine that they go on livin’ the hard way
The intellect to travel to Mars but so blind,
We worship Venus but she don’t even know who we are
And she never cared why, cuz she wasn’t there
When I was tryin’ to drown my sorrows in a pool of despair
I ain’t perfect, sometimes I feel worthless,
Worth less than that is the image that I’da purchased
Man, from the shades to the shirt to the shoes,
Just another fool tryin’ to cover he’s confused, that ain’t cool
Sometimes I hate the man in the mirror
Cuz I know he’s a liar and a cheater and a killer
People say they love him but they love what he can give ‘em,
But deep inside he knows that there’s a reason for him livin’
I can’t even find the words for the way I feel
So I paint a picture, I paint a picture
I’ve been goin’ down this road, seen some crazy things
So I paint a picture, you gots to see it
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
(Uh) You know I need you like aqua,
Day without ya got me so nauseous,
If I ain’t cautious, I’m gonna self-inflict my sickness
You know it’s true, you as my witness
At how you witness my inconsistence
Yes, the ovation when I need your assistance
And I just gotta know that even though I’m a misfit
I’m still worth more than calamity’s French kiss
Yes I’m loved, and I’m pursued
And though I can’t feel it, still I know that it’s true
Somebody woke me up, and yeah, I know it was you
And yet I keep tryin’ to steer clear of your view
Cuz if you get me, I know that you got me
But I’m so insecure I can’t believe that you want me
But then I heard you went on your way to adopt me
Well you can have my all if you swear you won’t drop me
Cuz I gotta know (yeah)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know that it’s real)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know that it’s real)
You just gotta know (hey, hey, gotta know that it’s real)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know that it’s real)
You just gotta know (gotta know, gotta know that it’s real)
You just gotta know (hey, hey, gotta know that it’s real)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Used To Do It Too ft KB:
(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 aint care at all (I’m changed)
I know I aint 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, aint 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..
Chapter 2 in the book of Colossians.
I’m changed
Lyrics to Children of the Light ft. Sonny Sandoval & Dillavou:
Hook:
We are children of the light
Royal rulers of the day
Saints, no prisoners of the night
Trust and love will lead the way
We are free
Verse 1: (Lecrae)
Yeah, I notice when people notice me
My exterior is the only way they know it’s me
I’m full of holes and scars, my skin’s marked up
But qualified to light up a world of darkness
A day walker, I love walkin’ in the sunlight
I look dirty but I’ve been cleaned on the inside
It’s revolutionary, he’s coming now for fellas and they can look at us strange
But ain’t nothing that they can tell us, cause
(Hook)
Verse 2: (Sonny Sandoval)
Yeah, I’m free to rock this mic to walk right in a dark night lighted by the sun (we are free)
I’m so free that I can fly while ya’ll can’t even crawl into a ball of freedom
In my life I count the cost I take lost accused of treason
And I could die for this cause and you might just be the reason
And in order to if I must die it’s denial of self
And if you claim to be the way that means there ain’t no one else
I trust it, done, there ain’t no room for discussion
So if you just don’t get it then let the just come with it
I know that much more is required of all that I’ve been given
But if ya’ll claim to be alive then you gotta start livin
You know why
(Hook)
Verse 3: (Dillavou)
And him the only one to take me out of Babylon
And him create me right and wrong
And him create me script and song
And that’s why we stand firm upon the rock on which salvation, man
And so we love the prospect and hope to put our helmet on
And that is why we build upon for each and every chosen one
Respectful to the elder-men who give guidance and correction
So don’t you quench the spirit man
The Word is truth, the Word is one
The Messiah give you Shalom
Whoa-o-oah

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 its 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 Imma use this day tryna share my faith and pray that seeds are planted
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
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 Imma 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.
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new 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.
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom

All saved, all serious
All saved, all serious
All saved, all s-
All saved, all s-
All saved, all serious
Verse:
Yo clicked up 40 deep in the street you can find us
Ya we on theology but we be on the grind ya
When we was a youngers only had 2 place to run to
One become an animal, two get out the jungle
So we got our lion on the line bro, that’s what we do
Run up on you and your crew and tell ya’ll Jesus is the truth
Open air evangelists, relationships we do it all
Backpack still full of tracks with a Johnny Mac, hats to the back and our backs to the wall
Plus I got some homies out there who gon’ rep the rock
If you wanna make them stop, you gon’ have to bring a choppa
If they get martyred, then we gon’ go harder
Share the gospel on death row and let ‘em know that they been pardoned
You don’t wanna get it started, this is what we do, who we are
1-1-6 to the day we die, ain’t tryin to be no superstars
Chicks to the click that’ll pull your car?
Usin’ the street like cops in cars?
You ain’t hear the truth today, I promise we’ll be back tomorrow
Hook:
Clicked up 40 deep, all saved, all serious
Clicked up 40 deep, hey holla at us if you curious
Clicked up 40 deep, we all saved, all serious
Clicked up 40 deep, come holla at us if you curious

Trip Lee:
A clique of us is shining rhyming walking talking sharing Christ, very hype
Find us hiding behind him all prepared to fight, very tight
Fighting trying to share the cross. He spared of life
We’re living by the blood like we’re parasites, get it right
My team carries bunch of high beam blaring lights
Might seem scary but we nice, see we carry life
Light is seen clearly man we’re glaring very bright
Check the fleet man we deep so we might seem Barry White
Ever since we heard about the murder how they buried Christ
Eyes upon the cross even though that is a scary sight
But that was the merger we converted now we very tight
He died for His bride homey, How you like the married life?
Christ the name we calling on
Cant wait til He calls us home
You know we be falling often we cant walk it all alone
My crews always rhyming like some stalkers we aint stalkin homes’
Started with the cross and we continue with the cross alone
Lyrics to Lecrae:Walking On Water:
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
When God’s at the wheel, yeah that’s the real power
I feel power, so I’m gon’ trust that
That’s how I persevere, that’s how I jump back
The hurricanes never go away
So I’mma stand firm, tell ‘em all to 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 skit, homie they ain’t 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 ain’t 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 people call it perseverance
Some people say endurance
But I know for sure it
It’s got me 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
Have your boy, 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 riddlin’
I’ve got the hope, boy, I’m the middle-man
Let me show you my Supply, yeah you need to know ‘em
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
(Hook)
Lyrics to Lecrae:God Is Enough ft Flame & Jai:
Flame:
(We so impressed)
With them ladies
Who be drivin’ Mercedes
Who be drivin’ them crazy
And we gotta be crazy
(We so impressed)
With them fellas
Who be makin’ them jealous
Who be makin’ them stellas
And we gotta be crazy
(I’m so impressed)
King who on the throne
Who left his heavenly home
Never did a thing wrong
They crucified him on
A tree, there he made
It was crazy how it set the stage
For his resurrection from the grave
That gets me amazed
(You can be) the flyest man
(With a) hundred grand in your hand
Swag right, sag tight
And a Gucci fan
(You can) be the richest, be the smartest, be the hardest, all of that
But I guarantee before I die they all are fallin’ flat
Hook:
Used to want a lotta things
All the stuff that’s on TV
Education, cars, and clothes
Fashion lights and jewelry
(Focused on the wrong stuff)
Now I got my eyes on you
And now I know that
Chorus:
God is enough
God is enough
God is enough
You are enough
Never too much
More than enough
God is enough
You are enough for me
Lecrae:
Party like the fast life, hurry this the last flight
Chasin’ all your dreams, this right here could be your last night
And man you finally got your cash right
But it never seems to last right
You know you sick of lookin’, you sick of chasin’
I think you know the truth, you just don’t wanna face it
Your life is empty, though you havin’ fun
You never satisfied, you never get enough
You go from thrill-seekin’ to pill-poppin’
From heavy drinkin’ to club-hoppin’
You just can’t stop it, like you’re a slave
And you chasin’ nothin’ all the way into the grave
(Hook)
(Chorus)
Lecrae:
Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
Takes away my fears, you restore my soul
Off into the sky, the dead in Christ arise
To be with you forever, see with the clearest eyes
Quench my inner thirst, there’s something more in life
No money, cars, relationships compare to joy in Christ
Love that falls from selfish ones that like to flirt with self-destruct
No need to stut, know what I want, to keep it, but my God’s enough
(Hook)
(Chorus)
I don’t need these worldly things, no-oh
I don’t need these worldly things, no-oh
More of you and less of me, G-od
More of you and less of me, G-od
I don’t need these worldly things, no-oh
I don’t need these worldly things, no-oh
More of you and less of me, G-od
More of you and less of me, G-od
(Chorus)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Boasting ft. Anthony Evans:
Chorus:
If this Life has anything to gain at all
I count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you, ’cause I need you.
Can’t Walk this Earth Alone.
I recognize I am not my own, so before I fall
I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boasting you alone.
Verse 1:
With every breath I take, with every heart beat,
Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street.
Every glance, every dance, every note of a song.
It’s all a gift undeserved that I shouldn’t have known.
Every day that I lie, every moment I covet
I’m deserving to die, I’m just earning your judgment.
I, without the cross there’s only condemnation.
If Jesus wasn’t executed there’s no celebration.
So in times that are good, in times that are bad
For any times that I’ve had it all I will be glad.
and I will boast in the cross. I boast in my pains.
I will boast in the sonshine, boast in his reign.
What’s my life if it’s not praising you.
Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit. I do.
That count my life as any value or presence at all.
Let me finish my race, let me answer my call.
Chorus
Verse 2:
Tomorrow’s never promised, but it is we swear.
Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air.
God has never been obligated to give us life.
If we fall for our rights, we be in hell tonight.
Mere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand.
We never loved him we pushed away his pierced hands.
I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy.
Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty.
Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?
Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishness.
I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery.
I know the spirits purging me of everything that’s hurting me.
Remove the vale from my darkened eyes.
So now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise.
I hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering.
I live to show your glory, dying to tell your story.
Chorus
Bridge:
Glory was solely meant for you.
Doing what no one else could do.
With All I have to give,(With all I have to Give)
I’ll use my life, I’ll use my lips. (My Lips Yaaa)
I’ll only glory in your Word. What gift to me I don’t deserve.
I’ll live in such a way that it reflects to you, my Praise.
Chorus (with Descant)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Background ft. C-Lite:
Chorus
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
Verse 1
It’s evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I’ll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I’m sticking to your script, and I’m reading all your signs
I don’t need my name in lights, I don’t need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I’m just going lose my soul
And my ways ain’t purified, don’t live according to Your Word
I can’t endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dance, a foe, a pop star
‘Cause we all play the background, but mine’s a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I’ll be stage right
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
‘Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact
I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
Chorus
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
Verse 2
I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control. and then I sank
So I don’t want to take the lead, ’cause I’m prone to make mistakes
All the folks who follow me, going end up in the wrong place
So let me just shadow you, let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
‘Cause if I do this by myself, I’m scared that I’ll succeed
And no longer trust in you, ’cause I only trust in me
And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing
You pulled my card, I’m bluffing, You know what’s in my hand
Me, I’m just going to trust you, You cause the dice to land
I’m in control of nothing, follow you at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
Man, I’m so at ease, I’m so content
I’ll play the background, like it’s an instrument
Chorus
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
Bridge
I know I’m safest when I’m in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I’m dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain’t got no time to play life’s foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name
And it’s a shame, the way I want to do these things for You
Don’t even cling to you, take time to sit and gleam from You
Seems You were patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it’s ’cause she never heard of this
Chorus
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
Chorus
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead.
Lyrics to Lecrae:New Reality ft. Chinua Hawk:
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: 2x)
Lyrics to Lecrae:Release Date ft Chris Lee:
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
Coming home tonight
Lyrics to Lecrae:Bonus Track: I Love You ft. Chris Lee:
Yeah, sometimes we get so addicted to self that, you don’t realize you hurting other people, specially the people you care the most about.
Hook:
Girl I love ya cross my heart and I hope to live to make you smile,
Cause I don’t deserve you. So for all the times you held me down,
Listen to me now, I love you girl.
Ya know I had to do a love song
To let the whole world know bout my love jones ,
Love sticks is what I told the docter,

And when I said I do, I meant that
Its trip that, you let me lead you
Cause I’m a mess and sometimes I need you
And I need you, to understand
That I’m dying everything tryin to be a better man,
I put that on my momma,
I love the way you play your part through my drama
Long nights, long flights, trips outta town
Ya keep my head up when it was hanging down
Down like four flats on a lack
I let you down and you still keep coming back
Hook:
Girl I love ya cross my heart and I hope to live to make you smile,
Cause I don’t deserve you. So for all the times you held me down,
Listen to me now, I love you girl.
Out here trying to save the world,
Cant forget about my baby girl
And baby girl, you so tight its true to me sometimes I wonder why you fool with me
Cause foolishly I’m prone to hurt you,
Call you grace cause I don’t deserve you
I recall cold nights, no lights, low dough nights
You ain’t fussin you was there the whole night sayin its alright,
So faithful, Far as beef yeah we done had a plateful
But we ate it up and we made it up
Cause our view of the Lord wasn’t great enough
No divorce cause what God brought together,
We will never tear apart, gonna fight and never let up.
And when I get up I’m back down on my knees,
Thank God my rib’s the best part of me.
Hook:
Girl I love ya cross my heart and I hope to live to make you smile,
Cause I don’t deserve you. So for all the times you held me down,
Listen to me now, I love you girl.
All the fellas out there in the world
