THE DROP (INTRO)
LYRICS - Lecrae
Turn the music up inside my session
These folks gotta hear my message
You put that beat on, I beat on this track to relieve my
stressin’
I see more trials than Cochran, while TV tryna’ box me
Them magazines ain't on my page, but ain’t none of that gon’
stop me
Keep the fame and acclaim, I won’t be a slave for a chain
And why stay the same for the change, let’s talk ‘bout
change for a change
Mundane, killa’ bang, sell cane for the gain, pump vanity in
your veins
No, they hopin’ I quit, ‘fact they hopin’ I die, no, they
hopin’ I'm plain insane
‘Cause they know I ain't playing, got my faith on display
And I got some ridas behind me, and they mean what they
saying
Knock, knock. Open up. We at yo’ door. Hope you prepared now
And I think it's clear now, potna’ we here now
And don't plan on goin’ no where, consider yo’self infested
And these strings all up in yo’ veins, consider yo’self
infected
And what we say we live out, ‘fo we give in we give out
And when we die we come back, tell Death he’ll never win out
They ain't never stop us, pop us, drop us, watch us pop
right back up
And we never gone die, that’s why we ride & rise like
Pac got back up
Go’n back up, call back up, everybody go home, just pack up
We plugged into the Highest power, that why we ain't gotta
act tough
No poker faces, just smokin’ aces, my house is full
My temple is a dwelling place, my Master’s masterful
You just full of yo’self, you just food on the shelf
Eaten for breakfast, talkin’ reckless ,boy I know the chef
You don’t want he’s cookin’, it’s not easy to stomach
And your words will be eaten, folks’ll be readin’ yo’ vomit
The recipe for disaster asks for blasphemy
And as for me, ask for me, I give you gravity
GRAVITY LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Intro (Lecrae):]
It’s Gravity
Keeps pullin’ me down
[Verse 1 (Lecrae):]
I pen songs for the perishin’ and parishioners
Them hearers and them listeners, the home and the visitors
This is not a game, you can't tame or make it purty
They say the earth cursed, so our mouths stay dirty
There’s mud on the track, a slug in ya’ back
Police done pulled you over wit’ a gun in ya’ lap
And you ain't the power to make it through this parade
The workers can't keep the profit - everything here is vain
My job oppressive, I strive for my blessin’s
The pastor so corrupt it's hard to ride with his message
Riches destroy the owners, the government think they own us
My onus is to keep the police from ridin’ all up on us
Leavin’ money to kids who spend it on getting’ blitz
Say, what's the point of livin’ to give it up in the end
Then again, all my sin has been pinned to the cross
I know I'm free forever from this land of the lost
[Hook (J.R.):]
Yeah, every time I think I’m flying
I’m just falling
So close to touching the sky
But gravity keeps pulling me back down
But I can’t stay here forever
I want to go, ooh one day!
I want to go
Somewhere where there’s no gravity
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
Somebody told me there was no such thing as truth
I said, “If that's the case then why should I believe you?”
Murder, money, and mayhem, every place that I lay in
My problems follow suit, I'm tailor-made for this, ain't I?
It’s deep. You wanna go deep? I’ll take you deep
Reality is really just cheap
Yo’ eyes wide open apparently, but you sleep
And everything you have in your hands you’ll never keep
So why hold on, I flow on to go on, before long I float on
Eternal life is what I'm thinkin’ I'mma bank my hope on
Believe me, easy is irrelevant
The devil want us burning for the hell of it
Elephants in the room say we can't talk about impending doom
Or we gospel rappin’ or preaching people out of they shoes
It’s cool, I'll be that dude. We glued to our depravity,
Until somebody free us from this gravity. Fly!
[Hook]
WALK WITH ME LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Intro:]
I get a little weak sometimes
Teach me the way, night and day
[Verse 1:]
Oh, I'm under pressure, man, I'm under pressure
Been tryna walk it out I keep ended up a stretcha’
Problems in life‘ll stretch ya’, ain't got it all together
They say the change comin’, but it’s feelin’ like forever
Oh, I’m on mission, they probably think missin’
Some screws, but it’s these three nails that keep me drivin’
If God ain’t with me, I know that I'm gon’ fail
And ain’t a wish in the well that can wish ya’ boy well
Cells eaten by cancer got me lookin’ for answers
Doctors say my daughter won't grow up to be a dancer
Just walked out that funeral, I’m right back in my cubicle
Lord, I'm ready for heaven; I'm just waitin’ on the cue to
go
Feel like givin’ up and just blamin’ it on my daddy
He never meant to have me, and problems keep comin’ at me
I wanna walk with Jesus, but my legs too heavy
I'm hopin’ prayer works ‘cause the walls can't hear me
Come on!
[Hook (Novel):]
So I drop to my knees and I scream with my might
I’m know that these walls can’t hear me
I say, “Lord, please won’t you hear my cry?”
I know that these walls can’t hear me
Maybe if I plead and I sing out loud
I know that these walls can’t hear me
Jesus come walk, come walk with me now
‘Cause I know that these walls can’t hear me
[Verse 2:]
Oh, D Wade died first, now my Uncle Skip gone
Then I lost my grandpa, and that's when it hit home
That people keep leavin’ me, this world keep deceiving me
They sellin’ me false hope, and I keep believing it
Come on!
I promise I think I'm going insane
Come on!
And gravity pullin’ me down the drain
Come on!
My boys in Afghanistan goin’ crazy
Staring at them pictures of they babies
Bullets flyin’ everywhere, prayin’ they gon’ make it home
Lord, give ‘em Hope. Without it, what else they bankin’ on?
Everything is fallin’ all around me, put yo’ arms around me
Sinkin’ in my sorrows got me drowning
Tempted to empty bottles and throw ‘em off in wind
Devils lurkin’ ‘round the corner, just waitin’ for me to sin
I pray that you sustain me and keep me from givin’ in
Ain't gotta get me out; just get through to the end!!!
Lord Jesus, come on!
[Hook]
See I need some healing
‘Cause I’m losing feeling
Lord won’t you please hear my cry, yeah
Let your love rain from the sky

FALLIN' DOWN LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Intro:]
It’s goin’ down
[repeat]
Hey, I know you think you the one, homie
But can’t nobody escape Gravity
[Verse 1 (Trip Lee):]
Yes sir, it’s about to go down
It’s spiralin’ to the ground, but I don’t think it’s gon’
slow down
This fallen world is fallin’, this building’s ‘bout to blow
down
We just goin’ in circles, we don’t get another go ‘round
(It’s goin’ down) What happens when your life is leveled,
bro?
A storm is comin’, can’t nobody’s levies hold,
It’s heavy, bro, but I gotta let you know
It’ll help you look beyond this world like a telescope
(It’d be easy) Yeah, stack your money in the air
‘Til it’s rainin’ hund’eds all around your atmosphere
(It’d be easy) You can build a mansion sky high
‘Til can’t nobody see the roof when they drive by
But death’ll hit you like a drive by
And to that stuff you acquired you gotta say “Bye, bye”
I ain’t gon’ lie, you might go down in history
But everything will go down eventually
Everything is falling (down)
[Hook:]
Everything is falling down, down, down.
It’s goin’ down
It’s goin’ down
I see the sky fallin’
It’s goin’ down
And ain’t no way to solve it
It’s goin’ down
I hear the Lord calling
[Verse 2 (Swoope):]
It’s goin’ down, rather comin’ down wit’ it
Cold world, condition is sin, here is the illness
It’s sickenin’, affliction so erotic, sickness so hypnotic
Desirin’ this virus even though we know it’s toxic
Godless, hallowin’ the gods that is counterfeit
We live from ‘de party o’ ‘de dearly departed
The darkness is flowing from my nostrils
We’re so psychotic, we still partyin’ like we not sick
YOLO, homie, so pour another glass
Roll another one up, let’s put on another mask
Another bundle o’ cash, another shorty to bag,
Same thing e’eryday, groundhog under grass
Man, turn the music up cuz I don’t wanna hear the truth
‘Bout the things I’m living fo is dead and I’m the living
proof
Shoot, the sky’s fallin’, ain’t no need to panic
Unless we party ‘til it cracks, seeing Jesus standin’
Coming down
[Hook]
You scared, I’m not
There’s a time for everything,
A time to be born and a time to die
There’s a time when the world as we know it will end
When that is, I don’t know
But it is goin’ down
[Verse 3 (Lecrae):]
Listen, it’s goin’ down, down, down holla’ “Mayday!”
Them fiends looking for candy and them dealers got that pay
day
I seen them child soldiers; they was loading up some AK's
Ain’t playin’ Modern Warfare. Don't you know ain’t a war
fair?
Scales are never even, but they be triple beamin’
They keep them fiends fienin’, the Devil stay scheming
And dreamers steady dreamin’, but ain’t no hope here
Ain’t no satisfaction in money, women, and clothes here
Oh yeah! Them Christians in Christian Audigier
Hey, can't some young men say the stuff we gotta say
‘Cause everything is fallen, it could happen any day
Your world come tumbling down and ain’t no way to get away
You ain’t never gon’ say you ain’t hear it from Lecrae
If I die before I wake I pray to the Lord your soul He'll
take
All these drunken nights are empty like the bottles that we
break
And you can't get high enough to escape
It's going down!
[Hook]
FAKIN' LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Verse 1 (Lecrae):]
I'm riding round and I’m getting’ it; they riding round
pretendin’
I been had it, I been done, I promise that it's all empty
They say they ridin’ Bugatti's, man, put some babies through
college
Quit tryna’ act like the trap is cool, ‘cause we tired
hearin’ that garbage
Hey, bags of white, pints of lean, I been on dope boys since
a teen
But this ain't what we meant to be, and y'all don't make no
sense to me
You pump fakin’, ain't shootin’, ain't killin, ain't doin’
Half them thangs you say you doin’, but 116 we stay true an’
Ain't dope dealin’, ain't Po pimpin’, talkin’ ‘bout my own
folk killin’
We on that Jesus soul healin’, so serious, gorillas
Wild ain’t we, can't tame us, been changed, can’t change us
1:16 – You can’t shame us. Live that truth; you can't blame
us
[Hook:]
I heard him say he bought the block
(Fakin!)
In his song he say he gansta’ but he not
(Fakin!)
Say he makin’ money, cashin’ big checks
(Fakin!)
While his chain leavin’ green on his neck
(Fakin!)
I’m not impressed
So I guess that make you, yes that make you
That make you a faker!
[Verse 2 (Thi’sl):]
He was all juiced up, thought he was Tupac
‘Til ‘dem boys caught him, hit him with them two shots
Now, he in the station singin’ like he T-Pain
The bullets made him lean, now I guess he’s 2 Chains
He bought that big-league cannon, wrapped it ‘round a 300
Now matter how you put it, boy, that’s still a 300
Stop that fakin’ and the flatchin’ cut it off
Frontin’ like your paper longer than the Power Ball
He think he Scarface, guess he ain’t seen the movie
Keep on fakin’ ‘til you face down in a Jacuzzi
With some killas in you room with some real guns
That don’t make noise and ain’t plastic but they real guns
[Hook]
[Verse 3 (Lecrae):]
Real recognize real; introduce ya’ self
Careful with that cannon boy; you might just shoot ya’ self
Somebody wake em’, tell em’ to stop fakin’
Before they end up lyin’ in the woods buck naked
These killas fulla’ them demons, while you pretendin’ you
Scarface
You ain't really no ghetto boy, why you fakin’ that hard
face?
That just made him furious; somebody call Fishburne
Tell these boys in the hood 40 cal hits burn
And hell burns hotter, I turn to the Father
I prayin’, “Lord forgive em’ ‘cause they lyin’ like Mufasa
They got these eight’ graders with they eyes on a choppa
I pray the Lord save ‘em ‘fo He drop ‘em and make ‘em stop
it
[Hook]
VIOLENCE LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Hook:]
War, pain, violence should stop!
[Verse 1:]
4-fever, 9 millimeter
‘Dem a’ want a heater ‘cuz the streets is finna heat up
Six million ways to die; choose 10
And if he don't die then he probably do ‘em again
From passionate catastrophe, to genocidal blasphemy
No respect for humanity, they resort to insanity
Head bang on the glass, call it window pain
Jumping out the window tryna’ get my frame through the frame
Close range; when he point, I just blank-out
Felt my heart sank when that bang thang rang out
Now you got yo thang out, you take life, you give it
You took his life away, but you gave yours up to system
No wanna listen, no reason for livin’
We bought the lie we can't be forgiven for all our sinnin’
Killin’ is the religion, service is in a prison
Ignorance got a slave and our name in the mentions
[Hook:]
War, pain, violence should stop!
Bad man, bad man, gun man, bad man
Squeeze bullet, pow-pow. Body bag man.
No bother with no war. No bother with no violence.
No bother with the six-feet-rest-in-peace silence
[Verse 2:]
Grew up under Tupac: bible verse and two glocks
Say we ready to die, see a ghetto in the sky
Couldn't be more wrong than right shoes on the left feet
Highway to hell and we fighting for the best seat
No heart, bullet’s got no name
Little boys wanna bang but ‘dem barely got a brain
‘Dem barely got aim, but they shooting for nothin’
They rob a sister of her brother for a couple a hund’ed
They thinkin’ that life is cheap but it's expensive as ever
They'll be sentenced to forever for them heartless endeavors
I try to tell ‘em (simmer down brethren), but they like whateva’
Too scared of being broke to think about being betta’
Plus, we get bombarded by all these images of bravado
You ain't really a man if you don't follow these models
But the weakest ones follow, the strong reconsider
You can forgive much if you understand you forgiven
[Hook]

MAYDAY LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Verse 1 (Big Crit):]
Awakened from my slumber by the thunder, lightning clappin’
Rainin’ on my window pane and praying I make something
happen
A preacher’s prophecies never bothered me when I was younger
Sittin’ on my grandma’s lap, and she cried, I often wondered
“What was her tears for? Could it be for my grandfather?”
Or maybe she felt for me cuz I’d see more of those cold
tomorrows
Than she’d see. The world would up and turn on me
Cuz the morals that she often spoke were meant for 1923
I fall asleep off in her arms, a psalm was spoken
“The Lord is surely my shepherd” and “lead me to the water”
A thought that often stuck with me, amongst the wolves that
run the streets
Out here payin’ dues then lose, I pray your ways would
comfort me
A non-believer I never have and never could be
Lord, give me time to peep the signs I should see
Sippin’ got me feelin’ like a player
Ridin’ clean, bendin’ corners, hopin’ I might find my savior
On the curb, I rarely go to church
False prophets rockin’ Prada so I rarely feel the Word
Jezebel’s lurkin’ in the pews on the first
Preacher’s weaker than the deacon cuz it’s hard to fight the
urge
It’s hard to live and serve when you on the Devil’s turf
Sell your soul for the loan with no sense of what it’s worth
Don’t get it twisted, I ain’t no saint, I ain’t no pastor
But prayin’ ain’t just for cloudy days and natural disasters
Aware of what comes after, bet you ain’t fo’ sho’
I was warned that heaven ain’t the only place to go
I’m doin’ what I can cuz there really ain’t much time
I leave ‘dis in the Lord’ hands, I’m tired of cryin’
[Hook:]
Man down!
Hopin’, prayin’, sayin’ I can’t turn
Back now!
He will find you, this world’ll blind you, don’t you be
another
Man down!
Hopin’, prayin’, sayin’ you can’t turn
Back now!
Help is just one prayer away
Don’t be afraid to say,
“Mayday!”
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
Father forgive us for we know not what we do
In my bias, I've been pious with my nose up in the pews
Like Paul, I bear good news; they think I'm pall-bearin’
My message sounds like death to these hearers as they perish
Scary to think we on the brink of death
But no one stops look for answers on what happens next
Got a couple scriptures from our grandma, sayings from a
preacher
But can't live out these standards that we heard it takes to
reach ‘em
But when I look at Jesus, He lived the life I couldn't
Suffered for my crimes so I wouldn't
I used to have to sneak into the movies ‘cause I couldn't
‘ford to pay
So ‘splain to me how some one paid my way
When hear Krit confessin’ I respect him
‘Cause most of us be lying like our lives don't need
perfectin’
Nothin’ that we muster, Nothin’ that we can change
Admitting that we're imperfect, offendin’ God with our games
Look, I'm just being honest so don't take for me for no lame
I seen it fo’ myself; I’m a product of this thang
Now I found true religion, and it's not inside of denim
And them overpriced shades has never given us vision
[Hook]
CONFE$$IONS LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Verse 1:]
I know some people with mo’ money than we’ll ever see
Ever see someone buy a private island they never see?
Ever see every sea on yo’ own personal yacht?
Take jog around yo’ block that you bought from selling your
stock?
Not.
In this lifetime, some of them my potna’s
They don't believe in karma, but they believe in commas
And they believe they dollas’ for a peace o’ mind
Put a price upon they head and they'd be fine with that fine
Cause you find when you can buy the park, you can hate the
rides
They was fun in the beginning, now it seems they not as
thrillin’
And you out make a killin’, but it never feels fulfillin’
So, they call me tell me “Crae, this how I’m feelin’.”
[Hook:]
Confessions of a millionaire, lifestyles of the famous
There’s nothing I can’t I have, you say it looks so amazing
Well, I would trade it all away for my sanity
[Verse 2:]
Look, I ain't finna pretend that car and my crib
Give me worth and meaning ‘cuz I know they never did
Them numbers in my bank account are no reason for livin’
And sleepin’ with bad women really doesn't keep me driven
I'm sure this man sittin’ beside me is beside himself
Tryna’ find himself
Yeah, he flyin’ first class thinkin’ everyone behind him is
a peon
Goin’ home to a model chick he prolly gon’ cheat on
He’ll be empty for eons; you know what I be on
Money don’t solve it all, man, look what happen to Dion
I bought my dream house, but only made me wake up
It all falls down even if you got ya’ cake up
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
I've flown first class, flown private jets
Rode in the foreign cars; still so unimpressed
‘Cause after she spent all that money on her chest
She thought it make her life better, but she finds she still
depressed
Ain't nothing wrong with havin’ it. Matter fact, go and get
it
But if you find identity in it then go ‘n forget it
You gain the whole world but lost the only thing ya’ own
‘Cause everything else is just a temporary loan
BUTTONS LYRICS -
Lecrae
For better or for worse
Make it work
I ain’t goin nowhere
[Verse 1:]
Yeah, I messed up, but you hurt me, Blew it like it’s yo’
birthday
And you love it baby on Wednesday, but I make you sick on
Thursday
And I know I'm wrong and you shutin’ down, and I touch down
like “What now?”
Why we going through all this? Why things gotta be rough
now?
But, you had so many break-ups, you can't believe
You go and break my heart that I forgive and I ain't leave
Don't define you by your faults, ain't gon’ push your
buttons either
Everyday we startin’ fresh, this is how it's s’posed to be
Never try to take advantage, you respect me as a man
But every once ‘a while you get to poppin’ off and say stuff
you shouldn't be sayin’
But I'm witchu, I ain’t playin’, if it's thick or if it's
thin
Both the times and your figure, girl, this is who I am
I love you baby, that's real talk, and this life we live is
a real walk
I ain't goin’ nowhere, tell your girlfriends that it's still
on
I love you baby, that’s real talk, this life we live is a
real walk
I ain’t goin’ nowhere, tell your friends that it’s on
[Hook:]
For better or for worse
Sometimes I make you sick, and you get on my nerves
Make it work
I ain’t goin’ nowhere, and I give you my word
I will be right here
So though push my buttons
I ain’t leavin’
You can keep on pushin’
I ain’t leavin’
[Verse 2:]
I be makin’ you mad, girl
But you said you'll never leave me lonely
So I had to put a ring up on it, ‘cause our commitment ain't
no game
Yeah we laugh, but we ain't playin’, I’mma always be yo’
mane
And I know sometimes I upset you, be pushin’ all o’ you
buttons
We be fussin’, fighting over nothin’, you can try to leave,
but I’m comin’
We gon’ work it out with no runnin’, pushin’ ,shovin’
I know sometimes that I'm selfish, but I jump in front of
yo’ bullet
Cause you everything that prayed fo’, plus a little bit
extra
Even when you getchu an attitude and you act a little bit
extra
Listen, you make better, babe, you make better, babe
You got my heart and you can have it for forever, baby
And though we’ll never break up, I hate it when we mad
But love it when we get to make up, no lines that I could
make up
To let you know how much I got you covered, girl
And I only be pushin’ yo’ buttons because I love you, girl

Who’s got the power?
[Verse 1 (Pro):]
The key to life: money, power, respect
Louie this, Gucci that, two private jets
Big money, big business, watch that paper stack
Treat life like a game, it ain't pool but I'm racked
Up, big bucks, no whammys
I swear I prolly lump somebody head for a Grammy
My heart black as the Lambo Kim bought for Kanye
And I ain't fronting, I'm just telling ya’ll what God say
Blood thirsty
Seek my own will since the day that Adam cursed me
The lust for power go to ya’ brain if you let it
You say, “What up dog?” I hear “god.” I'm so dyslectic
Sit on the throne, it's really a toilet, heart is septic
I have no power, I get handed death, I must accept it
It's hard to see the light when you never listen
Our whole life’s blacked out, the power's tripping
[Hook (Lecrae):]
Who’s got the power?
Do you really want it all, whole world in ya’ palm? Tell me,
Who’s got the power?
It’ll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin’
Who’s got the power?
Do you really want it all, whold world in ya’ palm? Tell me,
Who’s got the power?
It’ll make you a leader or a tyrant, you do the decidin’
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
It was all a dream
I grew up readin’ hip-hop magazines
Double-XL got me wanton to excel
They tellin’ me it ain’t hard to tell, I rock well
And now with every sale I'm feelin’ my head swell
Well, I'm a genius in my dreams
Even if I was, it was stitched inside my genes
I’m self-inflated, self-infatuated
And somehow I convinced myself I finally made it
The truth is I was made like the mob
Geppetto put me together; my strings lead to God
Pride come befo’ the fall, I seen it in the script
So if you see me fallin’, prolly a power trip
[Hook]
[Verse 3 (Sho Baraka):]
Welcome to the culture where humility is not allowed
They do it big, if you don’t see that, you Shallow Hal
Tryna show them how love and power, it goes together
If they call us losers, that just means we last forever
I been connected to the power, I don’t have to chase it
I roll with the Trinity, this is sorta the Matrix
A hard pill to swallow: we’re evil to the core
Wicked power exploits the poor, and it brings war
Power can be a field of dreams loaded with land mines
We know the ruler so you can’t say these are bad lines
(You might lust for that power!), but don’t forget that
we’re forgiven
I know the Lord gon’ catch me when I’m power trippin’
[Verse 4 (Andy Mineo):]
Who made the crowd put they hands in the sky? Me.
Who made the sky with they hands? What if y'all can't see?
This is kinda strange, God makes the weather change
And we braggin’ up on our change like "look how we make
it rain!"
We Invictus, this sin sickness is in us
Running a muck and causing that mischief, tell me this then,
“Who could really fix us?”
I'm, trippin’ to think that I'm really not limited in this
position in sitting in,
Gravity pulling me back to earth gradually, reality's
hittin’
(Who's got the power?)
LORD HAVE MERCY
LYRICS - Lecrae
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy l-l-lord have mercy
L-l-lord have mercy and pity on your son
Lecrae:
Dark Past full of evil endeavors
Heart clean never
Black and ugly as ever
However, I seen my family die from them rocks
Them ?beans? on blocks
Including my own pops
Homie I seen two much
To drink them two cups
They lean all the lean
Already way too screwed up
Was way to gone
I was way to cold
Fifty yard hail mary
I was way to thrown
I was Tarzan
Raised by gorillas and the piece
High on them trees
When I gorilla the beast
Then that truth came, hit me
Took me outa my grave
All my partners say I'm changed
How I'm going stay the same, huh?!
No Malice:
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy
L-l-lord have mercy l-l-lord have mercy
L-l-lord have mercy and pity on your son
Tedashii:
Killa, tryina murder it
Chasing ladies down for fun
Saying, "Come with me"
Hail mary but then kill the son
However, I seen them boys mane
?Take that bar way and God say?
?But beast boy he still took three the hard way?
Toss me out ?hard I went?
Crucifix no jewelry
These wooden beams
He took from me
Took 'em up to Calvary
While I was a DGK
Whylin out to UGK
Runnin from the HPD
Huffin puffin mary jane
No ?grip? chains mane
I was looking for a super freak
Nasty, ?cameo?, candy super sweet
But now your boy turnt up
Free from all them chains
?Folowin all ten?
You can call it unashamed
No Malice:
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
Lord have mercy and pity on your son

Lecrae:
Now I'm turnt up daily
I'm on my one-eighty
They thought I'd water down
I'm like boy y'all crazy
On my ?J.O.?, my Oj Mayo
I'm on my Grizzly
Jesus turned me around me so fast
That you would swear I was dizzy
Now they askin, "who is he?"
Now they wonderin my name
I run in my own lane
Screaming "Jesus is King!"
TIll my heart stop pumpin
No more blood in my veins
Watch me turn up everyday

I KNOW LYRICS -
Lecrae
I Know (x6)
Boy I lost and I'm foolish, running off at the two lips
Prolly wooing all the cruelest persecute us to fool us
Catch me hanging with shooters rumored to strew your medula
My momma told me they would screw us but I already knew it
Who gon give 'em peace of mind ? They can piece of mine
Know they thinkin' I'm blind but I just pay them no mind
Yeah I know they be lyin', they misquoting my lines
They like what you think you doin' putting hope in your
rhymes
You would think I'm shooting folk or putting coke in my
rhymes
I just give them bass for free and push the dopest of lines
Boy you trippin' (I Know) 'Crae you slippin' (I know)
I done heard this all before just sit back enjoy the show
Yeah I know they gon' hate us, type they blogs up deface us
They be fishin' for attention but don't know how to bait us
Keep that hate on hiatus, big ups to my Creator
No big bang just a banger, so tell that DJ to bang it!
(yeah)
I Know (x8)
I know what they sayin' but I promise that I'm cool though
(x2)
I know what they sayin' I ain't trippin' on it mane
I just came to do my thing, something different for a change
Listen, I K N O they tryin' to find out my M.O.
I tell them God sent me they probably ain't get the memo (I
know)
I can't say that 'cause 'Jesus Walks: they don't play that
(I know)
Shouldn't be here 'cause people rollin' they trees here (I
know)
You can't help em, no trippers and killers welcome (I know)
You can't hear it, no ignorance in my lyrics
Boy they swear I went loco, 116 still my logo
Catch us rollin' in that Volvo, gon snap you a photo
Maybe Andy or Pro though, might see Trip in De Soto
Maybe KB, maybe T-Dot, yeah I know you don't know though
Yeah I know they don't like me, cause I be on my Spike Lee
Even when I do the right thing, they still wanna fight me
IRS want they taxes, police stop us in traffic
Plus my girl be on my back, she say my life is so hectic
Crae they watchin (I know), Ay they takin (I know)
I done seen this before, this just part of the show, let's
go
I Know (x8)
I know what they sayin' but I promise that I'm cool though
(I know) (x2)
I know what they sayin' I ain't trippin' on it mane
I just came to do my thing, something different for a change
I Know (x8)
TELL THE WORLD LYRICS
- Lecrae
(Chorus)
Now I'mma tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 1)
Uh, I know one thing's true
I don't even really deserve to know you
But I... I'm a witness that you did this
And I'm brand new so I... I'm ready to go
And I'mma tell the world what they need to know
A slave to myself but you let me go
I tried gettin high but it left me low
You did, what they could never do
You cleaned up my soul and gave me life, I'm so brand new
And that's all that matters
I aint love you first, but you first loved me
In my heart I cursed ya, but you set me free
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons, to give me new
life, new
Breathin
But you hung there bleedin
And you died for my lies, and my cheatin, my lust, and my
greedin
What is a man, huh? that you're mindful of em?
And what do I have to deserve this love?
(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescused me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 2)
I can't offer you nothin, but your care and kindness keep
comin
And your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my
stomach
I got the old me in the rearview, gotta new me, gotta clear
view
I was so dead, I couldn't hear you
Too deep in sin to come near you
But you drew me in, and cleaned me up
And take me home and beamed me up
Before you do, just let me tell the truth
And let these folks know that I done seeing your love
And it's everlastin, infinite
It goes on and on, you can't measure it
Can't quench your love, they can't separate us from the love
of God
It's no estimate
My face look the same, my frame done rearranged
But I changed, I promise I aint the same
Your love is so deep, you suffered and took pain
And died on the cross to gimme a new name
Aint nothin like I seen before
I gotta beam to glow
Was low, down, and dirty but you cleaned me Lord
You looked after me, you keep rockin me
Imma tell the world and aint nobody stoppin me
(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescused me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
(Verse 3; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
He is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the
new has come.
Yea, I'm brand new
(Chorus)
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Cast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new
LUCKY ONES LYRICS -
Lecrae
[Hook (Rudy
Currence):]
When it’s all said and done
You and I are the lucky ones
We fought many
And we’ll fight the night until we see the sun
We are the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones
We are here
[Verse 1 (Lecrae):]
Under the sun, I found we were left to drown
Evil abounds, weight is pullin’ us down
No sight or sound, impaired to His care
Chasing after the wind, running after the air
Deserving of desertion, servants of destruction
And everyday we taste of a grace that we’re unconcerned with
My sin I should be burned with, I'm guilty, filthy, and
stained
But He became a curse, drank my cup and took my pain
And for that he reigns, through faith I'm changed
And I don't have a reason why he loosened up my chains
I don't believe in luck; I believe in Grace
But they say we’re lucky cause we seen your face
And we heard Him call us, and He heard our answer
And He gives us second chances when we throw our hands up
So weary and broken, hopin’ His arms will be open
Unconditional love has got us locked into focus
(I guess we the luck ones, huh?)
[Hook]
[Verse 2 (Lecrae):]
You’re greater than my shame, guilt, my doubt, and my past
Fortunate to trust in you cause I've doubted your plans
I’ve questioned your ways, every question I raised
Is foolishness compared to mountains, the wind, and the
waves
You’re so mindful of us, we rise from the dust
You love these cheating, beating hearts and these eyes full
of lust
Gave us power to fight it, though we cower in quiet
We have the faith to start a riot; how can we deny it?
Fire inside us that you kindle when it starts to dwindle
And simply put I’m sinful so your love is essential
I don't believe in luck, no, I believe in Grace
But they say we lucky cause we seen your face
Lord, we heard you call us, You heard our answer
And you give us second chances when we throw our hands up
I’m weary and broken, but your arms will be open
Unconditional love has got us locked into your focus
[Bridge (Rudy Currence):]
See, I’m not sayin’ I’m always right
And I ain’t sayin’ that I’m perfect
And I know I don’t deserve it
But I’m glad I got this life
I’m glad that I got it
And it makes me a lucky one
[Hook]
NO REGRETS
LYRICS - Lecrae
[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 void
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
