I'm not trying to get cash, this task
Ain't to make our hits last (the world)
Success is out of beats so fast
Your boy got whiplash (yeah)
We got different motives
and I ain't trying to get the dough
it's switched and now we spitting flows
and living just to lift Jehovah
Forget my name and my face (face)
I ain't just an entertainer
we was made for the Savior
to glorify His name (so bro)
We walk out; we walk it out
with crosses on our back (yeah bro)
and we live for the One we talk about (yeah)
He taught us how to act, bro
W'ain't her' for our pleasure
W'ain't her' to have fun (no)
but to help them see our God better
W'ain't trying to stack funds (no)
I ain't telling fairytales
ain't just telling my story
cause my life ain't worth nothing
if it ain't giving God glory (yeah)
So I ain't got no songs (songs)
where I repeat my name (my name)
in every single song (song)
you're hearing Jesus reigns (yeah)
No I ain't much of nothing
nothing but a sinner bro
by grace I'm more
I praise the Lord
the only thing worth living for.

-Chorus-
Ah, I ain't living for myself
No it ain't about me
Anything the Lord do
He can't do without me
give him glory (with your beats)
Give him glory (with your verses)
Give him glory (in the streets)
Give Him glory (in your churches)

We tryin'ta lift His name up
We don't want you praisin' us
Putting Christ front and center
And we layin' in the cut
give him glory (with your beats)
Give him glory (with your verses)
Give him glory (in the streets)
Give Him glory (in your churches)

2nd Verses
When I eat, sleep, hit the streets
its only for His glory man
Plus I can grow each time I read (yeah)
He put it all befo' me man
Naw I aint gotta wonder how to please him with my life
its in the Bible man I can model what I see up in the Christ
God came in the flesh
he's the best
I can mock his living
And it was clear while he was here
He was all about His Father's business
He wasn't worried about himself
he was humble had a mug
He taught the folks how to act and was showing others love
We ain't trying to promote self (no)
We giving cats the Bible (yeah)
We aint trying to make dough
we trying to make disciples
Each time we learn we pass it on to a group of faithful men (men)
we read it back
we teach the cats
an' we pray they take it in (yeah)
And when we make decisions (decisions)
each time we have to base them
on how the Lord can get His glory
out the situation (listen)
The Bible clearly states
His glory is our purpose (our purpose)
so if we living for ourselves
our life is truly worthless

Chorus

Trip Lee-
So give him glory (with your beats)
Give him glory (with your verses)
Give him glory (in your streets)
Give Him glory (in your churches)

So give Him glory (every day man)
Give Him glory (in every way man)
Don't start living for yourself (homie)
Don't get led astray

Who you rollin' wit (Who you rollin' wit, who you rollin' wit)

Are they livin' unashamed of His name?
Or are they trippin' fakin' this thang?
Are they livin' fo da kang a da kangs?
Yeah, Yeah

-Flame-
My cats don't chase fame
My cats don't smoke weed
My cats don't chase chain
No, we got what we need
My cats don't chase chicks
My cats don't sip on
My cats don't stack bricks
Man, we focused on the Lord
My cats got each other
We call it brotherly love
And yeah we draped out and covered in Jesus' blood
My homies they straight pray
My homies they straight fast
My homies are so serious
An' they ain't chasin' cash
My sisters are so serious
And they ain't chasin' men
My sisters guardin their hearts
And strayin away from sin
My sisters they dress modest
Ain't showin off all their skin
My sisters they run a race in preparation to win
My squad stay in this faith
Cause man we know we can slip
That's why we stay dependent and remain off in His grip
My squadron never forget that we were scum of da earth (earth)
Livin dead in our sin He came in and gave us birth
That's serious

-Chorus-

-Json
When I'm with my squad it might be hard to spot me
cause we all look like a Jesus
Carbon copy
We church boys (yeah)
This is the charge I'm hoping you see the desperate need
Believers run together like the legs on a centipede (oh)
Oh yes indeed we fall but we get up Lifted up
By the body that's called to pick us up
So we must be surrounded by accountability partners. Without none,
Christian livings intentionally harder
Hope you're listening partner
Cause the fact of the matter is what happens here just hurts your walk
Like feet calluses look hard and there's something you should peep
You will see that we are the very company we keep, even me
(Who you rollin with)
Is it cat's that's complacent or
Dudes that continue to grow in wisdom and patience
(who you rollin with)
Because this part here is crucial
Show our heart and hopes maybe the feeling is mutual

-Chorus-

-Trip Lee-
Look man we gotta roll with cats that's out shootin fo da same thang
Like target practice
God know as you look around it's hard in fact it's
Real discouraging instead of saints they all look backwards
But we gotta find some dudes (dudes)
Be up in the pews
Pray away from booze
Like to spread good news
That ain't chasin after chicks
That ain't livin fo dem selvs
Ain't blazin up the spliffs
That ain't out der tryin to sell (yeah)
So take a look at the dudes in your squad
How they tryna be like Christ or Diddy, Ludacris, and Nas, yeah
And to my sisters, are the girls up in ya crew (crew)
Dancin like Beyoncé or followin His rules
Where we need accountability fo times when we gon fall (fall)
So when we start slippin we got folks that we can call (call)
They can help us get back (back)
Back to servin Christ (Christ)
We gotta roll with cats (cats)
That's after eternal life
Who you rollin wit?

T-Stone, what it do, man, yeah
Somebody wave yer hands like dis (like dis)
E'erbody wave yer hands like dis (like dis)
Yeah, y'all can dance to this (yeah)
Yeah, y'all can dance to this
Less git it, less git it man (less git it man)
Less git it, less git it man (yeah)

I wasn't never the type that's tryna kill folks
Nothing too bad maybe dabbled in a lil smoke
A lil lust, but wasn't never seen as a bad dude
Was livin for myself dreamed of wealth and makin cash move
Was told of a savior who raised named Jesus
That paid full of grace and I did believe it
They told me He would hold me and I was blessed wit Christ
I'm like, "I get to go to Heaven? Man I'm set for life."
But after that, I was just ya average Sunday Christian
Up in church wit my bible, back Monday sinning
Up in the school yard trying hard to blend in
Was acting dead as a carcass, far from livin
I was all up in the world, I was just like the rest of them
Called myself a Christian, but would sin with the best of them
I wouldn't share my faith or read my Word it's crazy
I was a immature believer, a spiritual baby

-Chorus-
We gotta grow, we can't stay in the same place
We gotta grow, we gotta be seeking His face
We gotta grow, so if you saved and you've been pardoned
We gotta grow, you ain't done you just getting started
(Repeat)

Verse 2:
I was my own guide, would never dive in His truth
But didn't realize that I was set aside for His use
So I'd just live for what I thought was my best interest
Around nonbelievers you couldn't tell the difference
Wan't a thug, nah I ain't got no horror story
But was livin for myself not the Lord and His glory
My confession: I didn't seek my Dad's perfection
Was goin down the wrong road like I had bad directions
Until He showed my not imitating the Christ
And livin fo me I was truly wasting my life
And that Christ died so I could have relationship
But by my actions I refused to take this gift
Until He made a switch and now I want some mo of Him daily
By His grace I'm growing and have matured from a baby
I'm so grateful that I've been torn from sin
And day by day He's makin me more like Him

Chorus

Verse 3:
So for my believers, I just wanna encourage y'all
To draw closer to the Lord I know you heard His call
Even if you ain't smokin an shootin at domes
If you don't do it all fo His glory, you doin it wrong
Heaven ain't the only reason we got saved
If we don't get to know Jesus then we got played
Plus we gotta change, He said He'd change us all
And the faith without fruit, that ain't faith at all (why)
Sanctification, check Romans 6
We ‘posed to switch, die to sin and grow in holiness
All my brothers and sister I know this walk is tough
But even if you young just getting saved is not enough
We gotta talk to Him, read who the Lord in the skies is
The reason we breathe is to enjoy and glorify Him
I'm grateful the Father is changing ya boy
And getting closer to Him is an unexplainable joy

-Chorus-
Forget about the cash, Forget about the clothes
Forget about the stash, Forget about the dough
Forget about the cars, Forget about the rims
Forget about dem stars, Forget about the benz
Forget about the big crib, tryna get rich,
the big six-fo, plenty dough and tryna sip chrys
Forget the cash and chains, that stuff will pass away
And you can't take it wit you to yer after days

-Trip Lee-
Most' concerned with the cheddar flow, but dawg I gotta let em know
A lot of reasons we should be seeking Jesus instead of dough
Instead of mo material things, the jewelry n fame
I speak of the Kang, but most ain't feeling me main
They would rather let they money stack, tryna get a hundred stack
They pockets fat, but they not ready when Christ is coming back
If they only knew the real truth about the comin wrath
They would probably race to Him faster than a runnin' back
I know the things the cheddar buys, will attract and catch the eyes
Instead of ice, it'd be nice, if we would invest in life
Instead of all that flashy stuff, tryna get our status up
His wrath is just, so if we don't seek Him dawg then we outa luck
What good is it to gain the world and in'da end lose ya soul?
Its foolish bro, there's a lovin savior you can truly know
I know you seeking satisfaction, you can't find it though
Tryna dash for the cash and designer clothes

Chorus

-Lecrae-
Got money, got whips, got ice
Still broke homeboy! No Christ
Got a debt to pay, some real heavy wages
And the payment for sin is pretty outrageous
I seen him park the car, suicide do's
Without Christ he walking through a suicide do'
The dollar bill say in God we trust
Its funny cause money is the only God we trust
And she say that she a Christian, but I can't tell
She ain't depending on God, she depend on man
1 stack, 2 stack, 3 stack, fo
They spent they whole life stacking up dough
And when they die not a dimes gone go
Now they physically rich, but they spiritually po'
And they probably never heard of 1 Corinthians chapter fo'
'Cause they said they can't imagine God's people being po' (whoa)

Chorus

-Trip Lee-
You might want you some change, yeah you might want a crib
But tell me where the Bible say that Jesus want us rich?
It says we should be content if we got food and clothin
That's the truth and bro, we tripping really being foolish homie
We shouldn't put no value on fallin screens and stylish chrome
Even if you saved that stuff can't go with you when you back at home
So allow me to encourage you, if you agree the Word is true
You can only serve one Master, some of us is serving two
'can't serve God and cash, can't love the world and Christ
Put money out ya mind, focus on eternal life
'can't speak from experience, I ain't seen it but I'm betting
Treasures of this world ain't nothing next to the ones that's up in Heaven
Feel free to store em up, since we found the Lord is just
Amazing let us praise Him main and try to give Him more of us
Let us live our life with Him, spend our days and nights with Him
Ignore the trash the world has to offer and delight in Him

Chorus

Hey yo, waddup?
Dis ya boy Mac
Mac the doulos supplyin' da track
Yeah, got my man's Trip Lee on the verse
We had to team up
Let cat's know the truth about Jesus the Christ
Not just a prophet, not just a man
He's God in da flesh
A O Trip, get 'at 'em
Let 'em know!

-Trip Lee-
There's one who stands who can save a man from hell
I thought you heard the incarnate word, Emmanuel
not the bishop, God with us why can't you tell (that)
he's 100% God and all man as well
No illusion, God became man for real
to remain perfect in a sinful land that's ill
he came through to return how a man would kneel
and now tongues will confess the lamb is real
the word became flesh put on skin and blood
was perfect, right though his death when they spilled his blood
No room for a pregnant servant who was highly favored
That in her womb deserved worship, the righteous savior
He was the right guy to save 'em, and they was clearly wretched
but is fortelling to the fact that people here will reject him
we should fear and rest in Him, surely bless Him
born of a virgin, which made for a pure conception
how fittin', Mary will now birth the Son
what a beautiful baby, Jesus the perfect one
an infant but the second standing in the trinity
but get this, both humanity and divinity
now I'm a soldier standing up in His infantry
the slain lamb, great man who delivered me
the King that put every bit of strength in me

Hook:
He is savior, creator, exact representation of His nature
He is more than just a man, He is God in the flesh
Made like us now in His grace we can rest, He is the Christ
He is savior, creator, exact representation of His nature
He is more than just a man, He is God in the flesh
Made like us now in His grace we can rest
Behold the Christ

Please excuse me, I must shoot the truth to dudes
Even though it's bout confusin as rubics cubes
How the Creator wrapped Himself in human flesh
To be booed, persecuted and bruised to death
Now you can rest on Jesus and His savin grace
And be truly blessed, He came to take our place
But some of us so called believers take an awkward stance
And deny the doctrine that He was God and man
And don't believe in Christ as Creator of man from dust
Why should we trust Him if He was just a man like us?
And tell me this, if Christ was not God with men
Then how did he manage to live apart from sin?
With no flaws within, and here's the major test
When the last time you seen a man raise from death?
I know, never/ Its impossible unless of course
Jesus Christ was God in the flesh and Lord
Further proof that Jesus is one with God
Hebrews 1, the Father refers to the Son as God
I could go on for days with this scriptural proof
Cause this aint just my opinion, its biblical truth
Plus, its one of the core essentials of the faith
Somethin we must believe if we some Christians and we saved
If we don't believe this, then we denyin the Bible
And we believe in a different Christ, our God is an idol

Hook

Look I don't think we quite comprehend the concept
The kinda lavish paradise the Son left
For the kinda rejection He would come get
On the cross, breath in His lungs, it was none left
Was it love? Yes, but nonetheless
There still wasn't a place for the Son to rest
Not only through leavin Heaven was His love expressed
But God the Son in flesh, Christ, would come and step
On Earth, the coldest place/ He showed His grace
Then died, but His life didn't go to waste
Was rich and more than comfortable, but he made
Himself poor with grace
He was made for a lil' while lower than angels
But some still don't embrace Him, He's longin to save ya
And if He does He's unashamed to call ya brother
Cause we got the same Father, its God above us
In everyway He made Himself like us
Was even tested main, yet remained righteous
We cant complain and say He cant relate to us
Cause He was made just like the ones He made from dust
Faithful to us, died as propitiation
Quenched His wrath and took a load off depraved men
But don't be fooled like Satan had the Son in defeat
Cause now He sits on the throne with all under His feet

Well let me tell you how it started in the Garden of Eden
With sweet Adam and Eve the first hearts beatin'
God made them in his image 'till they ate from the tree and...
Since then all men have been born as heathens
We have a sickness like people who can't beat diseases
Its called sin it deserves the eternal heat
He gave us life and we can keep it I'll tell you the reason
But first lets get back to the massacre at Eden
The very first time man was tricked by Satan
On that date and that day instantly changed our fate
It was undoubtedly man's darkest hour
But Eve didn't have a chance she didn't know his power
We probably would have failed too if the choice was ours
Its a dilemma that man alone can't get out of
'Cause our relationship with the holy God is sour
We all fall short of him like He's tall as towers
Instead staying with the one with the awesome power
We steady chasing girls like Austin Powers
We're all left out in the cold in a world thats crowded
With skeptics and doubters who want to do without Him
We got a problem, We need something to solve it now 'cause
We're separated from the father and we're lost without Him
We got a problem, We need something to solve it now 'cause
We're seperated from the father and we're lost without Him, Thats...

Hook:
The bad news, we were born in sin
The good news we can be born again
The bad news, we were born in sin
The good news, we can be born again

All you've been searchin' and lookin' in all the wrong places
Search no more. Love is here.

Hey I had to write this song ‘cause the masses are mistaken
They've confused the word love with infatuation
Its sad ‘cause when we lackin love the wrong path is taken
They missing out ‘cause getting true love is past amazing
It's more than a passing statement, a short lasting craving
It ain't refusing not to wait, it ain't mad impatience
Some been tryna find love in that guy or gal they dating
And before long they hormones are fastly raging
Yeah true love is a must, but that ain't love, it's lustin'
Love would never ask you to do ungodly stuff
Its honest plus, it ain't wrong and hard to trust
Its everlasting and can't happen when the heart's corrupt
Resting on false love you must realized you'll plummet
‘Cause real love is much more than butterflies in ya stomach
Most of us are out of line 'cause really the bottom line
Is we looking for love but ain't sure what we tryna find

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
‘Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the wrong places
So search no more ‘cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

We must learn that love is perfect, it never will fail
I'm ready to tell, its needed and forever prevails
It's so glorious, I'm sure we need some more its true
The world's confused and seems to have a distorted view
Most think love's a sweet kiss, a nice statement in time
But don't know that love is sacred, its patient and kind
It's not filled with sinful jealousy, doesn't brag and boast
It's priceless and can't be bought with a stack of dough
It's so true. It's not rude. It doesn't seek its own
It's selfless, I'm telling this because we need to know
It's not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs
It forgives, it's a blessing and forever is strong
It don't delight in evil but it likes the truth
It's liberating never fading and it's righteous too
I'd like for you to put love first in here
It always protects, always trusts, hopes, and perseveres

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
‘Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the wrong places
So search no more ‘cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

I can't stress enough the fact that love will never end
It's eternal better than this other stuff so let it in
Such an unusual experience beyond expression
We need it, we gotta seek it, yeah love is a blessin'
Utter perfection, but something most guys will lack
So the remaining real question's, “Where you find it at?”
I know you wondering if you don't wanna die and miss love
Seek Christ, ‘cause the Bible says that GOD is Love
For GOD so loved the world, HE would redeem you and me
Yeah it was love that made HIM bleed and cling to a tree
That's the truth, so without the SON you losing
HE shows love and for that there's no substitution
We try to fill the void with things of all sorts
But let us stop settling for things that fall short
HE can be the lover of our souls turn now to Christ
Lookin' for love? Well true love is found in Christ

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
‘Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin' for love in all the wrong places
So search no more, ‘cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
‘Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin' for love in all the wrong places
So search no more, ‘cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

Verse 1:
You probably wanna hear me spit bout cash
Bout my chicks and the clips I'ma whip out fast
Bout my whips, what I sip in a crystal glass
You love this which makes the crucifix sounds bad
But I don't trip, I let my light shine inside
I work for Him everyday like a nine to five
I'm gon ride wit Christ, man to crime I died
And for Him I get busy like my line was tied
You probably wanna hear drugs and thugs
Fun with bub and ya boy looking for love in clubs
But nope! I already found some love above
And we don't have to get smashed cause the Son was crushed
You just might wanna hear about some major dough
If that's the case move on, I preach the Savior bro
I don't flow to boast of toting heat and pistols
But to reach you and lead you to read epistles

Hook:
You might them folks that spit bout smoke and the clip they tote
But we gon give you that truth
Even though some bored when we talk about the Lord, we some soldiers at war
We gon give you that truth
You might want that cute tees and Timbaland boots 22's and coupes
But we gon give you that truth
We ain't talking bout change we liftin up His name, to die is gain
We gon give you that truth

Verse 2:
How do you like your hip hop music?
Some like it holy, some like it polluted
Some like a clique like the 116
That'll spit even if they don't make one cent
I refuse to lie like most of these cats
That do influence lives when they boast in they raps
And make dudes choose lives where they toting the gats
But Jehovah's where my hopes in I focus on that
No sir, we don't rhyme bout guns and knives
We look to Christ so we got the Son in our eyes
So we can't but spit bout Christ
Most hearts are cold that's probably why they spit bout ice
This our life, submitting to the Spirit inside us
We like some urban Spurgeons and lyrical Pipers
We ain't got no songs spitting game to no girls
But we preach da truth "Welcome to our world"

Hook

Verse 3:
They like, "Where the guns at dawg, where the weed at?"
We like, "Kill that homeboy, we don't need that"
Forget about the dough, 44's, and gats
We been saved by the blood we gon boast in that
And point folks to the Father, I hope they hear me flow
And He brings them out of the grave like the thriller video
Really bro I hope He uses the truth I spit
And I don't care if I don't never get a Billboard hit
We know the world might boo our tracks
And would rather us pack it up and move on back
But until I die, for Christ, yeah ya dude gon rap
And glorify Him with my life, spit truth on tracks
I bring Christ to blocks, I spit Christ in spots
But girls I don't wanna see you drop it like its hot

Trip Lee:
Some folks gone call us insane cause we don't spit to get change
No grills, chains or big rings that just ain't how we live, man
We ain't worried bout no big fame WE tryina lift up his name
they think Trip deranged cause I got a whip but I don't care to grip grain
we ain't hollin at no groupies we them dudes who be
livin right givin Christ all we got truly
Some started to exclude me when the saw the new me
and i tried to tell em God is watchin like a movie
naw we don't need no chix boy we found a way to get joy
even though we get Outkast like Andre and Big Boi
we ain't gotta be them rich boys ain't gotta be them fly dudes
nope. this ain't no lie dude. I wish you knew what I do
it don't phase us cause we claim to be aliens and strangers
Cats liftin his name up and telling folks he saved us
we strayed from our sinful ways naw dawg we cant have it
think we crazy for it? Gone throw us in them straight jackets

Trip Lee:
oh yeah they talk down, oh yeah they call us crazy
cause we don't walk around tryna be no ballas baby
we praise the Son of Man they think we crazy dawg
cause they don't understand so we just shake it off
oh yeah they talk down, oh yeah they call us crazy
cause we don't walk around tryna be no ballas baby
we imitatin Christ he's more than holy dude
he's what we need in life. man, if they only knew

Tedashii:
lemme get some, lemme talk to em
Now you talk noise and walk hard but we was dogs like junk yards
our hearts hard got you callin me crazy like Joe Clark
I know dawg, it seems off; we don't talk about cash signs
or bad dimes, pointin makin comments on her backside
you as blind as Venetians chasin treat like Tahitians
and sin got you mixed up just like Blacks and Polynesians
so you front on me and when I'm round you run from me you done with me
but when the Lord comes for me you gone want his company
I'll pull yo card like a magic trick. in sin you fell like a tragic slip
the Lord will not be mocked; when it comes to sin, he ain't havin it.
so when we grab the mic and flame it it's just to spit the spark
and fix your heart I don't care if I'm Mr. 106&Park
so y'all can keep the fame and groupies and even the famous groupies.
i don't need em i got Jesus the reason I'm even breathin
so say what you wanna say you can call this a phase for me
but through sin i had a debt that he graciously paid for me

Trip Lee
oh yeah they talk down, oh yeah they call us crazy

Trip Lee
some folks don't understand us why we hold to a standard
it's Christians that witness they don't get the picture like broke cameras
when we walk around they talk down but Christ we gone act dude
and we see the cross is good for more than an ice piece and a tattoo
they think we out our minds dawg cause we don't love and embrace lust
but we've been cleaned like Lysol so in the Son we place trust
we shake the dust off our shoes if they don't receive the good news
we tryna tell to get em outta hell suburban cats to the hood dudes
they look at us with crazy looks from H-town to D-town
but we don't care we free now got Jesus in our freestyles
they mock us and laugh but they don't know the half
they don't know about why we souled out and so devout for our dad
if they only knew about Jesus how he cleaned and redeemed us
they too would be teachers that's why we gotta speak up
we cant keep it inside that Jesus Christ can free you
you could be known as his Robin until they know what we do they gone talk down

Trip Lee
oh yeah they talk down, oh yeah they call us crazy
cause we don't walk around tryna be no ballas baby
we praise the Son of Man they think we crazy dawg
cause they don't understand so we just shake it off
oh yeah they talk down, oh yeah they call us crazy

Verse 2:
So the world went on, sinnin' and all
God even flooded it once to get rid of it all
Time and time again all men would just fall
So God the Son decided to come in the midst of it all
The Word became flesh to suppress our danger
He emerged from a virgin that would rest in a manger
An angel had came to say that she was highly favored
She became the mother of the one that became the savior
But a little bit before that amazing day
He called on John the Baptist to make the way
And when John saw Christ comin he told the men and the girls
"Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world"
He knew that Christ had come for our survival
Soon after He would go to call his disciples
He would guide them, advise them to live by the bible
They were privileged enough to get to walk beside Him
And they preached to others as He taught them the code
They always rolled together like Tommy and Cole
They were all nice guys, spiritual cats
And they even got to witness His miracle acts
He fed thousands when they didn't have enough bread
He healed blind, even raised Lazarus from the dead
But one day He called them all to meet in a room
And he sadly told them He'd be leavin' them soon
He said He'd be betrayed by one of these in the room
But didn't say He would die and raise in three from the tomb
Or that He'd be the one to clean us like a broom
Just so He could save you and me from the doom, of...

I still remember when I first started living this thing
And you gave me the grace to make the right decision to change
My whole lifestyle was flipped most thought the kid was insane
Even those close to me my homies wasn't feeling it mayne
But still I wanted some more, I wanted to know this infinite King
You restored my heart and your glory started to stick in my brain
I couldn't get enough of your scripture I was simply amazed
By Acts, Galatians, Revelation, 1 Corinthians, James
I couldn't fathom something would happen to make me stray away
I couldn't imagine leaving my Dad that took me from my playa ways
Who rescued me from the storm, all those gray and rainy days
The one with that amazing grace, the same one who gave me faith
But recently it seems to me that passion is fading
It's almost like I forgot my Holy Dad was amazing
And without noticing your Word, I started reading it less
Yeah I'm alive, but it feels like I'm just breathing to death
I'm Cryin' Out!


Hook:
I'm crying out ‘cause I'm weak and unworthy
Lord Jesus it hurts me, I'm in need of your mercy
Would you please come and restore me
To the servant I used to be
When I was just seeking your glory and was content with you and me
I'm cryin out
(Repeat)

Verse 2:
After you snatched you up I saw that life without you wasn't life
You couldn't pay me a million bucks to go back to shunning Christ
I'd tell my boys the joy of living abundant life
Read ya sword seek the Lord I'd tell em to run to Christ
But my desires much less, it's clear that I am such a mess
My life crumbles now I stumble and I am deserving death
At first it was just not reading but now it's leading to sin
And its been so long I wonder if Ill see you again
And the sin makes it even harder for your grace change my heart up
Each breath I take is hard the separations getting farther
I'm scared to pray unto my father ‘cause I feel unworthy
To seek His face I didn't bother, yeah it makes me wanna holler
Cause everything I've known seems to be fading away
This thing is crazy I pray that you'd erase it today
And I know cant just sit idle and wait for you to do it
But I don't know what do I'm crying as I'm going through it
I'm Cryin Out!

Hook

Verse 3:
Now its getting even worse cause my sin doesn't even hurt me as much
Why would I leave my first love I used to thirst for your touch
For your direction of my life I loved your glorious throne
I'd put myself in the back seat and seek your glory alone
But now because I love it less I'm becoming morally wrong
I may look the same to all the others but Lord you notice I'm gone
You know I long to come back I miss that peace I used to feel
When I'd reap pray unceasingly and read what you've revealed
But I'm not plus I got a minor depression that I'm hating
To learn a lesson now I'm waiting I'm starting to question my salvation
I'm nothing, I'm dirt I need something to work
So Ill try the only thing that does I gotta jump in ya Word
And maybe if I read Ill be able to recapture
The things that made fall in love with Jesus, King and Master
I know it'll be a struggle but I gotta fight hard
To delight in the Christ who saved me like lifeguards
I'm Cryin Out!

Hook

Verse 1:
I see you as this miraculous Dad, and I can't get past this
Your greatness surpasses the most that I could imagine
Yo vast and fabulous status Lord, is more than magic
The Lord my master, outlasting time and matter
I'm prayin' Christ is flattered by this expression of love
And can't wait to be resident of the Heavens above
And live forever wit' ya', this young fella's in love
And I'm stayin faithful, you tell us that you jealous in love
So I put no one before you, no, I can't ignore you
I adore you, the Lord who is good, I need some more you
You paid the price that I couldn't afford to
And since you saved my life Lord I've begun to explore you
And to see the things you capable of
Yes, I'm embracin ya love, Father you faithful and just
Yes, I'm saved by ya blood, and more than grateful for what
You've given me by grace, Lord, I pray we stayin in touch
I need more

Hook:
You proved your love to me
You're all that I'll ever need
And now my heart has come to see I need you
More and more everyday
Cause your grace is so amazing
Your love is so inviting
And now my heart has come to see I need you
More and more everyday

Verse 2:
Lord, the world try to tell me that lovin you is wrong
But I can't get enough of you, my love for you is strong
For you its no substitute, I'll run to you as long
As you keep bein faithful, I know that won't change though
I'm grateful for the Son, I'm in love with you for life
Though I trouble you, won't trade you for nothin in this life
You the king, so I praise you through trouble and the strife
If you keep bein you, but yo, I know that you immutable
So its no fear, I'm confident in yo providence
A lot of kids reject it, I accept it and its obvious
But I gotta give you credit, really to be honest
I'm glad to say I'm ya bride, I know you'll stay by my side
The great Savior that died, I was a slave you abolished it
You got me, and you showed me yo Word, I vow to follow it
I'm all up in yo grace and mercy, I'm honored to fall in it
It's true I call on the sovereign ruler of all
I need more

Hook

Verse 3:
Lord, I'm so pleased to live for your glory alone
The Lord on the throne, I wanna get some more of you, Oh
So glorious, I always got the Lord on my dome
For sure sometimes I'm forced to hit the floor in a song
To my knees in surrender, to Jesus my defender
I'm so pleased that He sent ya, I'm redeemed and a friend to
The King of kings, I can't believe it, I'm in love
With you, more than a reason for Easter or Christmas

Vamp:
When I'm walking with you (More)
Talking to you (More)
In everything I say and do I need you
You're what my hearts been lookin' for
(Repeat)

Hook:
First lets spit the truth
Then pray the spirit moves
Let's serve Him in our youth
We gotta let em know
Let's tell em they missin' Him and that they sick in sin
Get they attention then
We gotta let em know
Hey let's come and bring the word of the one that runs this thing
We young and unashamed
We gotta let em know
Let's represent the king
Let's help 'em miss the flames
Since they think this a game
We gotta let em know

Verse 1:
Hey Anywhere that we go
We gotta let them boys know
Why we speak, why we flow
What we got all this joy for?
Who we makin noise for?
Dog it's a automatic answer
All believers gotta stand up
From Dallas down to Atlanta
Jehovah Nissi the banner
Who saved us from Satan's slander
Get yo hands up
He's comin hear all us holla Hosanna
We all will follow commandments
In honor to God we stand with
His word/ A new brand of folks tryna follow his standards
We could be around some thugs
All packin all hostile
We still Christian, we aint trippin
Run up on em with the gospel
We could be up in the mall
But we aint tryna ball
We tryna tell em only Christ can cure the sickness of the fall
We Christians standin tall
We listen to His call
We love Him so much that we celebratin Christmas in the fall
So it aint no thing
We aint scared to say
That we gon share our faith
Yeah we gon let em know

Hook

Verse 2:
So if you saved and taken out of your sin
Then you've received the Holy Spirits power within
Now you can read the bible and see how He can send
Some girls and guys alive in Christ to tell all about Him
But now you gotta learn the facts so you can tell other guys
How we don't deserve jack but Christ said He'd come and die
Rose back up in the sky
We some heathens its true
But we don't never have to die if we believe in this dude
We can spread it where you live
We can mess with them first
But after we done with them we hit the rest of the earth
It aint the best of your works
The thing to save you is Jesus
We tryna let His word spread like contagious diseases
He saves who He pleases and He uses us
All His saints, His believers to move this stuff
So we gon let Him use us
Tell em what the truth does
And we gon show some dudes love
Yeah we gon let em know

Hook

Verse 3:
I'm tryna hit em with the truth
So they can get a better glimpse
The remotest part too
We tryna hit every inch
It's the gospel
Not only does it make better sense
But the only way to Heaven's through the one that's Heaven sent
Jesus Christ
And we wont stop dude
Until He got you
Not just the burbs but the hoods and the blocks too
Its no qualifications
They can be part of the flock too
All they need is faith
Call on His name is all they gotta do
But how can they call on Him if they don't believe
And tell me how can they believe if they don't hear nobody preach
We aint gotta do much
God's truth is complete
Check Romans 10:15
We got some beautiful feet
He's comin back
If they don't know He died at the cross
They gettin left behind like conerbacks on Moss
So we feel a strong burden
To tell em what the Word did
To save us from the furnace
We GOTTA let em know

Hook

Verse 1:
Look I was born like the rest, from Adam's curse ruined
Straight born into death, with my back turned to Him
The facts are confusing, I'm a wretched man
But He took me, held my hand, and my death was banned
He could have let my sins stay and my transgressions stand
But I've been selected, elected, predestined man
The question stands, look what I do to deserve
To be blessed with His plan, made new, and reserved
Nothing. I was like the rest, born attracted to death
Nah we ain't said it, but its just what all our actions expressed
'Cause although I ain't wanna bother with the Lord He spared me
When I needed a Father, like orphan Annie
He took me in, clothed me in His righteousness
Fed me the fruit of the Spirit, now my life is His
Its all grace, I don't deserve this relationship
'Cause I ain't got nothing to give even my faith was a gift

Hook:
I don't deserve it, I'm worthless, but treated as perfect
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
I sin more than I wanna, but my sins are a goner
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
I was lost, but redeemed, then adopted and cleaned
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
I was a scrub, but this God let me run with His squad
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?

Ambassador:
You can ask the question, why our God would let men
Take His Son, make Him a naked one just to crush Him
We could all inquire, why a God this high up
Would stoop so low to scoop a whole crew from holding fire
We can pontificate, sipping on lemonade
Chilling 'cause our bill of sin was long, but dawg it was payed
Or we can shrug it off, not even bug at all
Off the fact we should have been attached to that rugged cross
That's just what it cost, I'm moved by what it cost
Refuse to be like dudes unmoved with thuggish walks
They like to disregard this, they like to diss the God that's
Coming back never to fade to black like Mr. Carter
And it's a shame 'cause the scripture is plain
With you and me Yahweh got beef like 50 and Game
We're shifty as Cane, only Jesus emptied His veins
So now you only got one choice out of a list full of names

Hook

Trip:
It's truly His grace that did it all, His righteous mercy
Prepared beforehand for glory? Nah I ain't worthy
He treated Christ like me and He gave Him death
He's treating me like Christ man, He gave me breath
I could have easily been one that feening for sin
That's leading me in to death and catch heat in the end
But He chose me, He showed me, He ordered my steps
Man what a privilege to be one of the Lord's elect
:Ambassador:
If it wasn't for you Trip, I wouldn't be tripping on this
'Cause we'll get about as far as a car sitting on bricks
'Cause why He did it was... Ah forget it
I don't know why, I ain't shy I'll admit it
So Trip, I don't even question it
So Ill go on and rest in this for sin I was in union
But now I'm free like a Russian is
Now I trust in this [Jesus], now the lesson is
Run hard for God to a beat like a percussion is

Hook

We will not bow down, we will not blend in
We proud to stand out, we will not give in (oh)
'Cause we don't wanna follow tha crowd
Nah I said w'ain't tryna follow tha crowd
W'ain't friends with the world 'cause this land is damned
Plus sin and the world go hand in hand (oh)
So we don't wanna follow tha crowd
Nah I said w'ain't tryna follow tha crowd

Verse 1:
We know the world ain't tryna live for Christ
They missin Christ, content with they sinful life
Filled with pride, the truth of the fact they blind
They can't get with God, He just in the back of they mind
Straight livin' for themselves, they don't know the Lords better
We wanna please Him but they livin' for they own pleasure
Whatever feels good, man that's what they do
And they don't wanna know God right now, they comfortable
But as believers we should be strivin' for different stuff
Not them princess cuts, but tryna lift Him up
We got a passion for His glory, know right from wrong
Step in the room, it's like they turned a light switch on
They try to pull us back to they side
Like, "What happened to you?" I just tell 'em the old me died
And now that I'm alive, I gotta live in His ways
Romans 8:13, we puttin' sin in its grave

Hook

Hey bro this ain't the Boyz in the Hood
Nah the 116 bring joy to ya hood
Make noise for the good news of Jesus Christ
We been freed and refuse not to be a light
Plus we know a lot of folks gon' tell us
If we choke off the smoke we gon' feel a lot better
But we pass on the herb, go grab for the word
We get stronger the faster we learn
When them cats wanna pass the drank
We like "Nah dog," we don't even have to think
If a girl walk by and they like, "Look at that!"
We keep our eyes straight ahead we ain't lookin' back
They try to pressure us back to the old ways
No way, we ain't goin' back to them old days
So when they ask, "You wanna do that playa?"
All I gotta say is, "Nah I don't do that there!"

Hook

We ain't in the club startin' stuff
Temptin' ourselves, nah we don't hit them parties up
'Cause if Christ ain't there, I don't wanna go either
My focus ain't girls, I just wanna know Jesus
Plus all they play is that same 'ol, same 'ol
Drop it down, range rove, 24's, bank rolls
And that's the opposite of our main goals
My God is it, nobody cares if my wrist ain't cold
They try to persuade us to give this up
Like, "This ain't crunk, forget about that Christian stuff"
But dog they don't understand, since He fixed us up
On the inside, since we died, this IS us
We stand out, it's not a chance you can mix us up
If you hearin' this song I hope you listen up
We grateful to be a light set apart from dark
We stand firm, won't move like cars in park

Hook

Intro:
Yeah
Ay wat it do
It's ya boy Trip Lee man
Yeah you can ride to this
Ay man but while you ridin to it
Listen to the words homie
Yeah we can't just go through life chillin man
We gotta stop and examine ourselves
Let me tell you what im sayin

Vesre 1:
Yeah we was born sinners man, dead in the flesh
Unfamiliar with the Lord's livin man, He bled to the death
But we love our sin instead of Him, we fans of the flesh
If you think I'm lyin man, put a man to the test
We all full of lies, full of pride, full of dirty lust
And we put our lives ahead of God's Word we should trust
We all knew it was a dude above who made everything
But we run a way, love our ways, and never gave Him praise
But for some of us He made a way up out of this dilemma
He sent His Son, and he was strung out for wicked sinners
Now all we gotta do is trust upon the righteousness of Christ
And He got something new for us (What?), the righteousness of Christ
You may believe it man, but have you trusted in Him yet?
And realized your sinful life will thrust you into death?
And that you need Him cause in the flesh man is fadin
Time for self examination like you was the Dr and the patient

Hook:
We gotta look ourselves over
Have we standing with Jehovah
He's the man and He can hold us
You'll be standing as His soldier
Its time for self examination, we need a self examination
Its time for self examination, we need a self examination man
What are lives look like
Cause fo real we should fight
To enjoy lifting Christ
And to shine His good light
Its time for self examination, we need a self examination
Its time for self examination, we need a self examination man

Verse 2:
A lot of us claim to be believers but we slack in our walk
And we goin around everyday without our backs to the cross
And when it comes to servin Christ, we standin on the wall
But we say we Christian cause we went up for the altar call
That don't mean that we believers, that don't mean we saved from flames
If we ain't workin for Him our faith is dead like it say in James
If it ain't no better livin, we the same and steady sinnin
Just know that faith without fruit wasn't faith from the beginnin
It's a lot of kids that got it twisted thinking they saved
But homie they aint bout tha Fathers biz they sleep in they graves
And they gon be real disappointed man when they face judgement
And all along they though that they was saved, but they really wasn't
Sin's disgusting to the Father man, he can barely stand it
And the mark of the believer is keeping to His commandments
So if we content up in our sin, ain't seekin Jesus
We really need to cause we may not even be believers

Hook

Verse 3:
Now for some of us we claim to be in love with our God
But if we look around we can find that something is odd
And if we really look our love for the Son isn't thick
Cause we ain't really in love with Christ, we in love with His gifts
Man after you die and you gon and you go to Heaven
Would you be satisfied if you arrived and God wasn't present?
That's a question we should ask, are we choosin Christ?
Is he just a supplement, or is He our true delight? Holla at me

See most of the times what happens is
We just goin through life thinkin that everything is great,
Thinkin everything is all good
Not stoppin and lookin, How we doin, Where we stand with our God
See we gotta stop and look to see if we made a decision to accept Christ
If we really trusted in Christ and His righteousness
And if we really in love with this God
Its time to examine ourselves

Hook

None of them knew it He would be betrayed by Judas
One of the chosen the few in His intimate group of
Close friends who professed love for Him to no end
They were sad they knew life without Him would be so grim
So Him and some of the disciples went to the garden of Gethsemane
He told them to keep a lookout while he prayed with all his energy
But instead of watchin' the King
Each time He came back they had fallen asleep
But the hour has come, men proceeding armed with swords
The disciples didn't want to let him hard the Lord
But Christ was aware that his Father's will was in this
Betrayed by Judas Iscariot sealed with a kiss
They took Him away, Judas couldn't look at His face
Think about what Jesus went through, look at His grace
Put on an unfair trial it goes further though
They could have set Him free, but they let a murderer go
I heard it was so barbaric how they beat him and mocked Him
Man thats God in the flesh, He could have easily stopped Him
But He thought about us and not Him, He was crucified
That's the most painful death, He was bruised, then died
Joseph wrapped Him in linen and placed
Jesus Christ to lay, put Him in a grave
They closed to tomb, even put a stone in the way
But when the angels came back the stone had rolled away
He rose from the grave, it's great, He's rare with his grace
Redemption for Adam's sin and all who will inherit his ways
We just got to believe and we'll be freed today
We should rejoice, make noise, cuz we've been saved, from...

Verse 1:
Hey when they see ya boy, what's they first impression?
Probably not a teen redeemed from the worst transgressions
That's repented from the path of His first ancestors
Was cursed but since rebirth this person's dressed in
The glorious righteousness of Christ
They probably think I'm on the stage 'cause I like the mic
Or like to get hype, but really I'm laid back main
But sometimes could lose my mind if you say that name
(Who?) Jehohah Jireh, my soul's provider
Life without Him's a contradiction like bein' poor with Prada
I done wrote a lot of flows, in my soul's a fire
That shut up in my bones, ah my soul desire
Is for some slick guys to the know the Lord He died
But still the Son did rise like it was mornin' time
So if you think you fully satisfied wit a vette wit chrome
You better check yourself like playin' chess alone
I'm a stranger, is Earth really my residence? Nope
I'm a alien and I can't wait to rest at home
My dress ain't always fresh to def I ain't impressed wit clothes
But Christ, He's the key to life dog and death's the door (and rebirth)
Since the moment I believed, my flesh was broke
Sin lost its control and death its hold
So maybe now you'll understand and get up in ya brain
Why ya boy so young and unashamed

Verse 2:
They don't associate ya boy wit Christ Jesus kid
'Cause I got my hat cocked and my jeans is big
No suit and tie, tall tees and kicks
But you ain't gotta be a geek to preach that Jesus lives
So its almost strange when they see me hit tha street blocks
'Cause with my life I copy Christ like a Xerox
No heat cocked, I roll wit the Lord and
Wit a team full of Saints like I play for New Orleans
We hold each other accountable when seekin sound doctrine
Through Christ we been found not guilty without Cochran
We kingdom people selected to rep His name
Forget bout cheddar main, Christ is the better thing
I don't let no weapon hang, I don't roll wit thugs
That's holdin drugs and spendin all they dough in clubs
I roll wit a gang of believers that's crazy for Jesus
That's saved from the flames and unashamed of His teachings
Cats be like, "You just a baby, how you know about the Lord?"
To know Jehovah at His core we had to open up our swords
We read His word on a daily, His inspired text
And submit to the Spirit dog, we died to flesh
I confess, they tell us that our youth is bein wasted
Instead of jewels up in a bracelet, we speak truth each time we make hits
So maybe now its stuck up in ya brain
Why the 116 is so young and unashamed

Verse 3:
Cats don't really understand, they think I lost my mind
They hood on they back, but I rock a cross on mine
Walk wit Christ in light, blood bought plus I'm
Not dark as night, I'm light because I sought His shine
I was livin' for today, was always caught in crimes
Bout guilty as O.J., my talk and walk declined
The Boss of time and space, but I put that to rest man
I saw my old life, it wasn't right like my left hand
Now He orders my steps and with Him is how I walk bro
Got off the highway to Hell and I took the cross roads
Now I'm walkin with Christ, what beautiful thing
Its cooler than fame, more precious than jewelry and chains
Most think God is just old school like Kool and the Gang
They wanna be like Jeezy, Jay-Z and Ludacris main
But I'm here today to say that if you want a greater day
Don't fade away, cling to Christ and His amazing savin grace
If you a Christian who accepted the King and you clean
We gotta move, the Lord is pleased when we play on His team
I hope young believers understand, I pray its in ya brain
If we love the Lord we must be young and unashamed
