LECRAE - THE DROP (INTRO) LYRICS

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

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]
 2. Walk with Me - Lecrae feat Novel

[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
 3. Free From It All (feat. Mathai)
Hook (Mathai):
But should I fall
I’m still free from it all

Verse 1 (Lecrae):
Round of applause, I pause to take a photo op
None of it’s real; it's just Photoshopped
Crop out my flaws then my failures, my aches and all my ailments
Now I'm picture perfect, take all my dirt and conceal it
Really, I no better than any
But they pay me a pretty penny to sit and look pretty
Not to big, not skinny, be whatever these fans demand of me
‘Cause otherwise they probably wouldn't love me
The show goes on even after the curtains close
I smile and pose, put my signature on they clothes
They lift me up so high that I'm surely about to fall
The higher that I go the more unforgivin’ they are
No grace and no exceptions, all they want is perfection
The man in the mirror can't even see his reflection
You live for their acceptance, you die from their rejection
But even if I fall, I fell in the right direction

Hook (Mathai):
Cameras flash, the curtains call, the credits roll down the screen
Critics laugh, they hate us all as they applaud
But should I fall
I’m still free from it all

Verse 2 (Lecrae):
Life is a cage, a prison of everyone's approval
Fight for acceptance and struggle so you don't ever lose it
But livin’ for their acceptance has got us stressing
Insecure people obsessed with leaving impressions
Ladies spending time on their faces painting pretty lines
To you and me its make-up, but to her, it’s a disguise
You look her in her eyes and see her soul cry
‘Cause living for other people’s got her living a lie
Hadn’t slept in day, close his eyes and he pray
Someone would miss him if he fell like a star out of space
But I'm sure they'll replace him, just a name and a face
They say they love you, but it's easy to fall from their graces
Live for everyone else gotcha losin’ yourself
Why be slave when made to be free from the guilt?
To be free from the shame, you are more than a name
If you go down you got the freedom to get up again
[Hook]
Bridge (Lecrae):
Every moment is passing; just let ‘em go
In fifty years, man, who cares? We’ll be super old
Many winners will lose, many heroes will fall
And if that’s me I’m still (free from it all)
 4. Fallin Down (feat. Swoope & Trip Lee)
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]
 5. Fakin’ feat Thi’sl" Lyrics
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]
 6. LECRAE - VIOLENCE LYRICS
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]
7. Mayday Lyrics (Ft. Big K.R.I.T. & Ashton Jones)

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]

Awakened from my slumber by the thunder, lightning clapping
Raining on my window pane and praying I make something happen
A preacher’s prophecies never bothered me when I was younger
Sitting on my Grandma’s lap, as she cried I often wondered
What was her tears for? Could it be for my grandfather?
Or maybe she felt for me cause I’ll see more of those cold tomorrows
Then she see the world will up and turn on me
Cause 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, he lead me to the water
Thought that often stuck with with me
Amongst the wolves that run the streets
Out here paying dues to lose
I pray your angels come for me
A non-believer I never have or could be
Lord give me time to peep the signs I should see
Sipping got me feeling like a player riding clean
Bending corners hoping I might find my saviour on the curb
I rarely go to Church
False prophets rocking Prada so I rarely feel the word
Jezebels lurking in the pews on the first
Preacher’s weaker than the deacon cause 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 low with no sense of what it’s worth
Don’t get it twisted, I ain’t no saint, I ain’t no pastor
I pray just for cloudy days and natural disasters
Aware of what comes after, I bet you ain’t for sure
 I was warned that Heaven ainn’t the only place to go
I’m doing what I can cause there really ain’t much time
I leave this in the Lord hands
I’m tired of crying

[Hook: Ashthon Jones]

Man down
Hope and pray and

Don’t you be another (Man down)

Hope and pray and say (Man down)
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
Am I bias? I been pious put my nose up in the pews
Like Paul I bear good news
They think I’m pall-bearing
My message sounds like death to these humans as they perish
Scaring to think we on the brink of death
But no one stops to look for answers on what happens next
Got a couple scriptures from my 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 live the life I couldn’t
Suffered for my crime so I wouldn’t
I used to have to sneak into movies cause I couldn’t afford to pay
Explain to me how someone paved my way
 When I hear K.R.I.T. confessing I respect him
Cause most of us be lying like or lives don’t need perfecting
Nothing that we can muster, nothing that we can change
Admitting that we’re imperfect, offending God with our games
Look I’m just being honest so don’t take me for no lame
I seen it for myself, I’m a product of this thing
Now I found true religion, and it’s not inside a denim
And those overpriced shades are never giving us vision

[Hook: Ashthon Jones]

 8. LECRAE - CONFE$$IONS LYRICS
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
 9. Buttons
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 aint 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
 10. Power Trip ft. PRo, Sho Baraka and Andy Mineo"
Lyrics
Intro:
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?)

 11. Lord Have Mercy feat. Tedashii " Lyrics
Chorus: (Line from No Malice in Lecrae's Darkest hour ft. No Malice)

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:

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

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

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
Homeboy I'm so unashamed!
Turnt up boy turnt up boy
Turnt up boy turnt up

 12. "I Know" Lyrics
I know (x6)

Verse:
Boy, I lost and I'm foolish
Runnin off with at the two lips
Prolly wooin all the cruelest persecute us to fool us
Catch me hangin with shooters
Rumored to shrew yo' medulla
My momma told me they would screw us but I already knew it
Who go'n give 'em peace of mind
They can have piece of mine
No they thinkin I'm blind
But I just pay them no mind
Yeah I know they be lyin
They misquotin my lines
They like "What you think you doin puttin hope in yo' rhymes?"
You would think I'm shootin folk or puttin coke in my rhymes
I just give 'em bass for free and push the dopest of lines
Boy you trippin, I know
Cr-Cr-Crae you slippin, I know
I done heard this all before just sit back enjoy the show
Yeah, I know they go'n hate us
Type they blog up, debate 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!

Hook:
I know (x8)
I know what they sayin, but I promise that I'm cool though
I know what they sayin, but I promise that I'm cool though
I know what they sayin
I ain't trippin on it mayne
I just came to do my thing
Somethin different for a change

Verse:
Listen I-K N-O
They tryin to find out my M.O.
I tell 'em God sent me they prolly ain't get the memo, I know
I can say that cuz Jesus walks
They don't play that, I know
Shouldn't be up here cuz people rollin they trees here, I know
You can't help 'em
No strippers 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
Go'n 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
Cuz 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 too hectic
'Crae they watchin, I know
Aye they talkin, I know

Man, it's just part of the show
Let's go!

 13. "Tell the World feat. Mali Music" Lyrics
Hook (Mali Music):
Now, I’mma tell the world, tell ‘em
I’mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell ‘em
Yeah, I’m a billboard
Tell the world, tell ‘em
And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio
Tell the world
You ought to know, I’m brand new

Verse 1 (Lecrae):
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 read’ to go, and I’mma tell the world what they need to know
A slave to myself, but you let me go, I tried getting high but it left me low
You did what they could never do
You cleaned up my soul and
Gave me new life - I'm so brand new
And that’s all that matters
I-I ain’t love you first, but you first loved me
In my heart I cursed you, but you set me free
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons, to give new life, new breathing
But you hung there bleedin’, and ya’ died for my lies and my cheatin’, my lust and
my greed, (and Lord!)
What is a man that you mindful of him?
And what do I have to deserve this lovin’?

Hook (Mali Music):

Tryna make the moments last
Holdin’ on to the past
But, like a hero in a dream
Christ came, and he rescued me

Now, I’mma tell the world,

Tell the world, tell ‘em
I’mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell ‘em
Yeah, I’m a billboard
Tell the world, tell ‘em
And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio
Tell the world
You ought to know, I’m brand new

Verse 2 (Lecrae):
I can't offer you nothin’, but your care & kindness keeps comin’
And your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my stomach
I got the old me in the rearview, now the new me got a clear view
And I was so dead, I couldn't hear you, too deep in sin to come near you
But you drew me in, you cleaned me up, so take me home, beam me up
Before you do, just let me tell the truth, and let these folks know that I done seen
ya’ love
And it's everlasting, infinite, it goes on and on, you can’t measure it
Can’t quench ya’ love, they can’t separate us from the love of God, there’s no
estimate
My face look the same, my frame ain’t rearranged, but I’m changed; I promise I
ain’t the same
Your love’s so deep you suffered and took pain, you died on the cross to give me a
new name
Ain’t nothing like I've seen before, I got a beaming glow
I was low, down, and dirty, but you cleaned me, Lord
You adopted me, you keep rocking me
I'mma tell the world, and ain’t nobody stopping me!

[Hook]
 14. "Lucky Ones feat. Rudy Currence" Lyrics
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]
