"Misconception"
(feat. Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas)

"Misconception"
(feat. Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas)



[Verse 1: Propaganda]
Slang came from a land where they suffer from the effects of depravity like gang bangin' and earthquakes.
Most famous no namers split a brain and plant a taste for the King of kings. I know it's a strange concept.
Pedalin' redemption boy what more can I say make me and Lecrae been trying to make Him famous since ninety three.
Fillin' these 58′s with phrases that would deem us unfit to succeed among these heathens.
It's so crucial in the belly of the crucible that you would understand that stage like your morning candle.
It's handin' out cancer that's why fame was never the aim and the back is the front – homie left side up!
That's a concept

Misconception
Those deadly habits have me losin' my cool...
It's what your frame of mind has chosen.
I'll leave your brain stimulated...

[Verse 2: Braille]
So many mis... conceptions- missin' the mark- mis-directed- drivin' reckless and aggressive
Fueled by our false perceptions- our methods need corrections-
Spittin venom in their face and violate the ones we should protect it's an attempt to motivate
Neglect our obligations place the blame on someone else point out the flaws in other people and take the focus off ourselves
Those who have been abused – view leadership as illegitimate so they don't think it's necessary to play by the rules or submit
They see authority as nothin' more than a power-trip – they don't want to be plugged into it
They'd rather see that power stripped – get it? Power strip... It's unfortunate
Disproportionate the door is wide open for false teachers to twist the truth and distort it
No examples left to follow left to our demise actin' foolish but can't see it so we're wise in our own eyes
The life and crucifixion of Christ is a beautiful depiction of service and submission – within a leadership position

[Verse 3: Odd Thomas]
You probably have it all figured out, right? Like your the type that believes that if you act right then that just might make you righteous in God's sight
You've been a really good person, you followed the good book as much as you could, you probably didn't go to church as much as you should, but it's all good
I mean you never really killed anybody, never really steal from anybody, you never lusted much, or did much, touching of any bodies.
You never use the Lord's name in vain, and you respect you neighbor, you try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to anger
You really believe that you could receive God's favor by your good deeds and right behavior
But you're dead in your transgressions and need a savior
Cause you could never win God's approval with the removal of sinful discretions – your righteous acts of removing God's wrath is in fact the biggest misconception...

[Verse 4: Lecrae]
Since my conception I've been riddled with deception
Televised lies devised to lead a blind insurrection
Against the resurrection - and the greatest misconception the world believes the Christian is foolish without direction.
And they knock it they knock it but what does it profit a prophet to be socially ostracizing no we ain't stoppin' the mocking
But if there is anything I can do to raise the stock in the market for a Biblical worldview then there's no longer an option
Here with the humble beast, ain't no subtleties, ain't no tongue in cheek, this is what I mean, they don't understand anything about the faith I believe, and they want to belittle me
But it's cool though. They just know the pseudo, the fake faith, the false one, the western God that's man made, not the Biblical Awesome
Toss em' – Pick up the Reasons for God by Timothy Keller and read it, there is a God you should believe in and his name is Jesus...

"Misconception Pt 2"
(feat. W.L.A.K)

"Misconception Pt 2"
(feat. W.L.A.K)



[Verse 1: Dre Murray]
One woman in my living quarters
And I ain't throwing dollars to a side chick
Ciroc didn't play a part at all
I comb through it and it's the woman that I pick
Wedding hand on the left hand
Head first into the moshpit
And when that Marvin come on I don't have to be cautious
You messin' up that good music when you add the Consequence
Tryin' find forever minus God use your Common Sense
We set fire to your box, keep your four squares
I hear you hating from the crowd screaming, "4 Squares!"
Yeah we christian that's neither here nor there
The track still getting chewed up, homie four pairs

[Verse 2: Swoope]
We say they missing out and that don't make no sense, eh?
YOLO's a no show for repeat, we syndicate
Following their passions while we following the Master
So we sorta kinda imitate following what Sensei
Synonym, sin in 'em
And it's the sin in us if we keep it Benjamin
But the difference is that this life didn't pleasure us
Tried to let it rule but that ruler didn't measure up
So they question us living as king
"How He change your name to peace? ", you ain't get the metaphor
Let me write it down life's more than spinning wheels
Christ bought the foul, you can pick that letter up

[Hook: Christon Gray]
We're flawless and we think we're better
It's official got it all together
We don't want em getting the wrong impressions
Cause that ain't real that's a misconception
Been a struggle only Jesus kept us
And we still fall, so it's hard to get up
We don't want em getting the wrong impressions
Cause this is real ain't no misconception

[Verse 3: Alex Faith]
Got a girl on my arm but that's my wife though
And I don't need a side piece, I don't like those
Lil mama working that body why she's eyes closed
Say his pockets way too fat they need lipo
Twenty racks make it rain sparkles on dem bottles
Lift em up, shawty bad, she look like a model
Rollin up, smoking loud, this is what we follow
Past that, looking back things are kind of hollow
I never be slaved the most in commons
Or that gucci polo, louis vuitton and balenciaga
And miss me all together you squeezing that llama
We Live As Kings only mean we living to please the Father

[Verse 4: Christon Gray]
Don't approach me, better unproach me
My words were so killer even the gun quotes me, steel
Battle rappers murder, they probably quote me still
So sorry that I hurt em hope they heal
Had to peel appeal em was the mirage
But homie that wasn't real they still live in they garage
They got trend setters and hell raisers
We stay in our own lane we trailblazers
We all trail, we all failing constantly
Easy, that's a tall tail, apostrophe
But we playing to lose all, a new sport
So tell em we bruise hard

[Hook]

[Verse 5: Lecrae]
They throw stones, I just pick em up and build (somethin')
I write in braille so these listeners can feel (somethin')
I guess they figured if they kill us then we'll cease
They forgot this problem started when they crucified our leader (frontin')
And who is we? We just some raggedy believers
Some hip-hop hybrids who married Mother Teresa (huh?)
So they think but they don't get to know me
They throw me out their circles for being a square (lonely)
Homie out the abundance of my heart, you hear my art speak
And I don't fit in your genre, don't try to box me
But punch me in, I'm tryna give this beat a beating
Pleading with your eardrums until they bleed the blood of Jesus (Jesus)
But wait I know you think this here is gospel rapping
It's more like bringing balance, these rap scales full of crack and
The streets told me real killers move in silence
Then how come all these rappers out here talking violent (shhh)
But let's take all your preconceptions or your misconceptions
That I'm something other than you with a different direction
I'm south side Chicago, I'm southwest Atlanta
I'm Compton with manners, I'm good truth and bad grammar

"Misconceptions 3"
(feat. John Givez, JGivens & Jackie Hill-Perry)

"Misconceptions 3"
(feat. John Givez, JGivens & Jackie Hill-Perry)



[John Givez:]
Fictitious foolies got me on a sick one
I'm still from Tha Side ready to die for the mission
Or meditate it, then I levitated
Elevated, celebrated
You should celebrate it, this is that embedded greatness
Good, good God
I'm a mad man, mathematics, statics
Stealin' the stars
I'm a bad man, bask into battle
I'm a battered mad hatter with the earth on a platter
Meek and mild 'til I get freakin' wild
It's a misconception messin' with your intellect
I reckon it'll be neck and neck
Before I let the deck eject the message
This is not a warning, this is what you wanted on the table
'Crae, let 'em know the lil' homie willin' and able
It's Givez

[JGivens:]
Vegas, get active
Flippin' your city like gentrification all in the ghetto upon a dirty mattress
Word to that sister actress
Nevada gets it crackin'
It’s hot and J got a jacket
We'll peddle back if you askin' if love's a long practice
Full metal jacket dually known as a banana clip when rappin'
That's a loaded magazine of ammunition
Plan out snippets so these magazines don't go bananas
Over loaded clips or flows floatin'
Only showin' sinkin' ships 10% of why he's frozen
Let it go, it's hotter than sprinters in Arizona
Juxtapose 'em to a snowman in Nova Scotia
It's rap's Christopher Nolan
Picture me rollin', pistol emoji, blaow!
This a misconception triple threat
Did Givens flex? Still a Christian? Yep
Don't need acknowledgement, just respect the conglomerate
Double tap it and follow it
They shocked to see us like Donald Trump up in a taqueria
Watchin' Evita, cryin' over Argentina
Or Maria dominatin' Serena
I'm tryna find a big homie for Slim Jesus
Thesis of a new hope
More hardcore than Star Wars part four rated R
Or Rosa Parks or feet kicked off the bus exitin' starboard
Light saves like a time change
Hands up and down like a sine wave
Gospel be the humble, don't sleep the beast is a mind frame

[Jackie Hill Perry:]
They told me that rap was stacked
Is it tracks, is it facts?
Is it trap, is it rats?
When metaphors, you ready for the medics stored inside it
Is it similes or violence?
Is it sympathy or similar
The sinner's lord's inside 'em
The problem ain’t wordplay
I get schizophrenic with sittin', straight jackin' the beat
Blood all on it, hashtag
A dracula scheme, trick or treat
It ain’t magic, I'ma vanish when I pass to the team
32, half that
Grab a 16 and let us shoot
Betty Boop wit the black top
I’m a mascot for tryna tell the truth
Locks all in my head, ain’t no chain that I hang from
But He hang from where I came from, that’s death
Guess what, I ain’t done
I'm rappin'
Beneath it is Jesus reachin' for actors
Living halle', add the 'lujah with the asterisk
Correction, then bury the body under the mattress
Livin' my dream while you sleepin' in different caskets

[Lecrae:]
Look, I was created to make a statement
A sentence sent us to earth on this mission
Tryna make a way for my siblings
Brothers and sisters who drinkin'
Out of them cisterns with cracks in 'em
Listen but lack hearin'
Who lookin' but lack vision
Initially made in the Lord's image, dynamic
Nothing lackin', magic couldn't make it happen
Look at us, you hear us rappin'
That ain't complaining but how can they be mad at all?
King dreamed a dream but we seen scenes that'll make us awe
Change the channel, we channel all of this energy
Pretend to be savages, we ravage our so-called enemies
That look like us
But it look like us ain't gon' make it less we shake it
We can't look back much
Turned around to give a helping hand
I'm like, "Man, they gon' make it, makin' baking soda boiling inside these pans"
Now they're wondering, is it rap or is it Gospel?
Look all you need to know is I was dead, now I'm not though
Real recognizing real, and if they don't love me like Pac
They better respect how I'm movin' and that I'm never gon' stop
I hit my pastor on the cell, I said, "I'm catching hell"
Well, what you think they did to Jesus?
Only time will tell
Can't believe we rap about the faith and people like the sound
We out here workin' in the streets, you better ask around
Tell them other rappers we don't want it, they can have the crown
They have to lay it down when you hear that trumpet sound
We know who got the keys to the kingdom
When the King come, crown Him, and your king dumb if his kingdom ain't bout Him
Say it with your chest, when the bishop is the king and the knight
The queen get the rest
I'm the only pawn that's on one, back in '01
I was wishin' labels signed me, but now I own one
That ain't braggin', that's just motivation
Get your education, this industry overrated, Satan-saturated
Folk be lyin' to your face, and sayin' they glad you made it
Turn your back and you can hear 'em hatin' in they conversation
Ooh, snake face with the same bait
And the same fate, fate, fate, that get your face ate(8)08 bass
Nah, base like the base plate
How you runnin' home?
You ain’t in that zone, they don’t let it slide
You ain’t safe
Wonder how do we survive in this suicide, do or die jungle?
Let the Spirit lead like He want to

Yeah, Misconceptions 3
Come and mess with we, yeah
Givens, Givez, Jackie, 'Crae, we out

"My Whole Life Changed"

"My Whole Life Changed"


[Hook: Lecrae]
Let's just say I saw the light
Let's just say I heard the truth
Let's just say I ain't' the same no more
I'm out here looking new
Let's just say I left the game
Take my jersey, I retired
Let's just say I'm at the game
Put me in I'm on fire
Boy!
My whole life changed (that's when)
My whole life changed (that day)
My whole life changed (right there)
My whole life changed
My whole life changed (that's when)
My whole life changed (that day)
My whole life changed (right there)

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Alright now, stop!
Ya'll don't quite understand the story I got
I once popped a whole thing of pills in hopes that I drop
My cousin walked out a party, bow, got shot
Pow, pow, pow
Some girl lied and my partna is locked in that box
So, I'm not concerned about what they think about me
Think about it
That truth is tatted up on my heart and can't nobody get that ink up out it
I'm eatin out and they thinking now I'm gone' sell out
Maybe I feed em' now
And some folks looking like they ain't learned the foundation firm
I ain't seeking out
So, I don't need a co-sign to get this
All the things you done
I done did that
I could rap about money and cars and getting high
But, why? I let the rest of ya'll pen that
Insecurity brags and I've been that
V.I.P. with Lebron James, I'm in that
So, I don't need a hug from Hip-Hop
A right to go pop and hope that ya'll feel that
Nah
Imma talk about faith
Imma talk about Christ
Imma talk about life
Cuz' I want to
Change my life I ain't lost my sight
I been on the same things since '02
And that's real talk
That's plumline
That's UNT
My soul's rocked
And my life changed
I'm free indeed

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Alright, Chill
Apparently, you can't tell the fake from the real
And these rappers getting all sensitive in my ears
Insecure whining makes it harder to hear
But uhh, that ain't here nor there
I swear I respect the kind of reject that
Wanna rebel and just reflect on real things like feelings
But these feelings are kinda suspect
Look, I came from a past so shameful
Took advantage of the girls by the handful
Had no remorse recourse was a boy until I ran into the source of the voice
Telling me everything I was on was wrong
Yessir, I was on my throne
Now I hear the same thing, same thing
But I hear it in a song and they wanting me to sing along
Woah, that's trifling, for a grown man that's stifling
I was on the same path for the wrath
I just never got paid for the trash I was writing
But like lightning, that light came and struck me
My life changed, and then suddenly
I met The Lord, and it wasn't even a Sunday
Maybe, one day, someday, you'll give ya' life up to Jesus
Instead of giving ya' life up to pieces
That's gon' rust and fade when you cease
Huh?

(feat. Chinua Hawk)

"New Reality"
(feat. 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

Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom

[Lecrae:]
I wake up before I throw a beater on, I thank the Lord for peace, or you can say shalom.
I'm on and I'm gone out the door I'm gon' rep my home. New Jerusalem, yeah you know where we belong.
Got the Word in my heart. When the day start and the darkness wanna get us sparked up.
So I keep a guard up, cause the sin in me wanna get the best of me and have me all scarred up.
And I know I'm marked up by the Spirit still in me, fillin me up with everything I need.
Yeah I got that cheese, but I don't need a piece, I just need peace, please.
This life ain't easy matter fact it's opposite and I got the test results I'm very positive.
That's why I'm on this track with PRo because I'm posed to give some potent portions of potion proportionate to poster kids,
Of pain and suffering whose daddy never loved on them, and wouldn't know the peace of God if it was placed in from of them
And I was one of them, I don't take my life for granted
So I'm a use this day tryna share my faith and pray that seeds are planted

[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom

[PRo:]
Early in the mornin A.M., you know that I thank Him 'cause He still calls me clean regardless of the mess I lay in.
My vision on the throne, clearer than Petrone, yessir I am gone, in my zone, thinking 'bout the way my Father put me on.
It's nothing but grace how He's still gives me faith and He died for the ultimate villain.
After this I obey regardless I'm chained when I should have been dead but I'm livin.
See I know when I'm wrong He won't leave me alone that's the beauty of God and His mercy.
So I'm singing this song about Him on the cross where my heart was the item of purchase.
While livin with pride � so worthless.
Say they wrestle and fight � but I merk it.
Whether live or down, dedicated to Christ, yessir I'm a stand on my purpose.
Put my faith in Him cause He's perfect.
Insurance like Geico, 'cause if I do not have His love I'm Norman Bates � psycho.
I go hard, I still Rebel with Lecrae.
Give my whole life for the King, don't Trip just let Him Invade.
I Sho Baraka Obama this peace is more than just worth it, so call Tedashii tell him Identity Crisis averted.

[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom

24/7 all the time, yeah I'm on my grind, dyin' everyday I'm tryin', rhyme, hope to save they lives,
Peace � what I got, I feel released from the knots sin bound me in but Jesus had the keys to the locks.
Life is boot camp, yeah I know the drill, flesh kill, but His will, it's with His peace that I'm filled and it's real.
Earth is not my home, while I roam and roam, got the Lord up on my dome restin' in that new shalom.

See it goes C.H.R.I.S.T. G.O.D. His spirit inside of me.
And without his L.O.V.E. I'm another lost soul so obviously,
When I drank the Livin' Water that's nothing more than a product of the grace through faith that I found in Him,
The love He gives could accurse of sin, why should I ever give in?
So chase that money, get your wrist coders, refrigerators, I will be an outcast 'til he raise me up � elevator
Me and you, yo momma, yo cousin, my brother, pray we never sell our soul for a chance to be stuntin' 'cause everything that's good in me the Lord He's done it, run it.

[Hook:]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom

"No Regrets"
(feat. Suzy Rock)

"No Regrets"
(feat. Suzy Rock)



[Verse 1:]
(And they say) You only live once so live it up tonight
I hope we live twice cause I can't wait to give up this life
Don't get me wrong I love my fam and my experience
Been around the world and back seven wonders I done seen 'em
Number eight is just us wonderin what happens when we perish
And I don't want no regrets I'm a tell the ones I cherish
That I love 'em thinking of 'em on this red eye flight to Paris
If I die before I wake at my wake please tell my parents
That your son will positively wake in paradise
Life is like a pair of dice so watch the ones you rollin with
Roll the clip of my life you gon' see a bunch of empty bottles
Broken hearts and blurry nights, Facebook likes and twitter follows
I'm not livin for today cause tomorrows looking pleasant
And the future is a gift even though this is the present
Yea I do believe in heaven but my actions ain't the key
Them gates remain locked if everything follow me

[Hook:]
So let em know that when I come to the end of my road
And they ask me was it worth it
The hurting, the pain, and the life I chose
I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
I'll tell 'em I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
And I die with no regrets

[Verse 2:]
You not a leader cause they follow you on twitter
And you not a man based up on your age and your gender
If you die tonight you'll probably die a boy
Chasing toys objectifying these women thinkin they gon' bring you joy
Don't you want more than last night's braggin rights
What's yo life?
I know it's hard to think about underneath these flashing lights
Scratch the surface money's worthless when it comes to finding purpose
If you keep the end in focus you can't keep it when it's over
And when it's over there's something else starts
Only thing that's really gon' matter is that hope inside your heart
What you trusting in what you lusting in
For that busty momma that's strutting in
And you popping bottles you throwing dollars
That's cool but partner this just in
That you gon' live forever whether you want to or not
Some of us gon' end up holy some of us gon' end up hot
Tell this life to keep my problems kiss my momma when I'm gone
Tell her I have no regrets and I'm home I'm home

[Hook:]
So let em know that when I come to the end of my road
And they ask me was it worth it
The hurting, the pain, and the life I chose
I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
I'll tell 'em I'll do it again in a heartbeat, heartbeat, heart heart heartbeat
And I die with no regrets

[Chorus:]
Feels like nobody wants you (feels like nobody)
Feels like nobody loves you
You can't run no more (no more)
Something ain't right in your soul
Feels like nobody needs you, and can't nobody read you
You need truth in your life

I understand being broken feelin low down and hopeless mice in the walls Need' the kitchen got roaches gotta catch the bus because the cars repossed the bills keep comin so you keep gettin stressed
And you keep skippin church you think you don't need it you rather drive around and drink a fifth instead of readin now you life seem heavy you say you ain't ready to believe Christ died for the sins of the city, you sins ain't pretty you can see that plain ya keep sayin that you gonna change but you ain't changed, ye can't change you ain't got the power within the problem ain't what you 'peatin" on the problem is sin, yeah

"Non-Fiction"

"Non-Fiction"



Yea, it's all fact no fiction
It's my interpretation
Wanna know how it went down?
I'll tell ya

Check it, uh
I guess I take it back to graduation
Got my degree but writin' songs was my fascination
I got a job installin' cable then I got promoted
Moved out my momma house but still this music was the motive
Around this time I'm bumpin' Tunnel Rats and CMR
But Lil' Jon was on the radio and on the charts
I got creative took the money that I made
And bought a beat machine now it's me and T-Dot up late
And I volunteer at detention centers to be a leader
I got these young dudes lovin' the way I eat the beat up
I ain't wanna blow up just wanna give em Jesus
Then Ben startin' up Reach Records was all I needed
I hit the road on the weekends to do a show
Ain't ask for money but they still gave a lil' dough
Just a bunch of wild kids in the front row
Like "You ain't Lil' Wayne - you a lame, man I got to go"
But I did it, and I was on a mission
And little by little a couple of em would get it
Was rappin' in the hood and folks broke down cryin'
That's when I knew this was bigger than me and bigger than rhyme

This is all fact, it's not fiction
You wanna hear the truth, pay attention
And if I never got a mention
Still do it for the love and the mission
My interpretation, it's non-fiction

Fast forward just a year later
I done drop my first album and I'm feelin' like I made it
Goin' all around the world tryna tell them 'bout the Savior (what else?)
And I ain't trippin' we ain't really gettin' paper na, na
I'm about to marry me a lady
I left my old job so I'm praying rap pay me
I drop my next album Jesus Muzik kinda major
I moved away to Memphis it was hot as the equator
And gunshots every night'll make ya wake up
Sleepin' on the floor hopin' you don't pick a stray up
Soup campbell took me in and got my weight up
Then I flew back to college started workin' on Rebel
Uh, we had a feelin' it would be a problem
It's like the Lord wrote the whole thing
But at home I was havin' problems
Married life was like a bad dream
Now we fightin' every day
My travel gettin' heavy two babies one baby momma
I'm arrogant and self-righteous helpin' everybody but my wife

This is all fact, it's not fiction
You wanna hear the truth, pay attention
And if I never got a mention
Still do it for the love and the mission
My interpretation, it's non-fiction
It's not a fiction, it's my interpretation

I need a new place new grace new city new state
Now we all headed to Atlanta
I'm stressed out tryna lead Imma bleed myself burnin' out I can see the pattern
I'm just writin' my pain over beats and I'm guessing Rehab was the outcome
I wrote Background at the kitchen table, I thought it wouldn't make the album
Shortly after I got a hold of Tim Keller's books, man I promise you it's like my whole life changed
Andy Crouch wrote a book about culture-makin', and after that I had to make a slight change
Ask the homies I ain't do it for the money man
Nah, I made Church Clothes out of love
And me and Street workin' day and night
Wait a minute, now Gravity is blowin' up
I won a Grammy, and I ain't even trippin' on it
I got a mission that I'm fightin' for, I'm writin' songs tryin' to give ya substance
Yea, I'm writin' songs fightin' for ya soul
We may run at a different pace but let's continue the race
You runnin' yours, I'm runnin' mine
I promise I left out a lot of details
Well, Gawvi said I'm outta time
