Lecrae

While there’s no sure route to carving out a significant presence in the music industry, there’s always something to be said for remaining true to one’s self. Since arriving on the scene with his 2004 debut Real Talk, Lecrae has been occupying two different yet not entirely opposing worlds: the sacred and the profane. Which is to say that his art, not unlike his life, has been as much about inspiring the streets, and about justice, freedom, and interrogating real-world issues, as it is about his personal journey of faith. His music has long served as a call to arms for those willing to sacrifice for a cause beyond themselves. Still, he won’t be boxed in to any genre or made to serve as a poster-child for any particular agenda. Following a host of celebrated … more »

Stand up, here we go
1 to the 1 to the 6 fa sho
Bump this in your car
But turn it up inside your stereo

Spitting for the folks that you
Know in every city bro billy Graham man
Pray to God they can hear me tho realy tho
I just came to tell you don't be scurred
Preach the word everywhere you go and
Let the truth be heard
And you ain't gotta be a rapper
But you gotta tell the truth
Scream it from your mama house
Or from your project
Chi-town to the Lou, Memphis Ten to the
Dallas, Houston, Indiana
Oklahoma need it too
It's the power of salvation Jesus
Put us out Himself
Put our sin upon His shoulders
Told us tell somebody else
Now we die to ourselves
Stop lying to ourselves
Ain't ashamed to share the gospel
Put our pride on the shelf
We don't ride for the wealth
But we ride for change
In the heart and not the pocket
Man to die is to gain

State to state, city to city
Block to block and hood to hood
Catch us outside everywhere we go
Trying to tell these folks what's good
The good news, some call it the gospel
Some folks embrace it, others get hostile
But earth is cursed man, heaven is perfect
If we can clown for Christ man
Believe me it's worth it
We stand up for the power of purchase
Worthless, without our God's plan
Is the purpose it's getting heavy now
I think they ready now
Stand up, man up, hands up
Get it crunk, but keep it steady now
In it to win it now, man they done did it now
Spit it for the cats
When the goal is Christ, then live it out

What it do, let me bring up Romans 1: 16
It's more than the clique I claim
It's the reason I'm redeemed
(What you mean) Ain't ashamed of
The gospel of Christ
It's the power that crossed our souls
Out of death into light
Holla 1-1-6, cause we once was sick
Christ bought us even though we
Wasn't worth one cent
Yea the curse was sin but the earth got sent
A Redeemer Who paid for all
Of the earth's worse sin
Now the worse per-son can
Repent and be changed
That's why we never ashamed of
The truth we proclaim
It's the light on the dark path
Only way out of death
It's the answer to every question
People got on their chest
People gotta address the crucial
Nature of sin
What that got to do with us man?
We tell them Christ is where they begin
That's why I'm screaming stand up
Know you got your hands up
Now it's time to represent like
The Father commands us
