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 »

Breathe in take it in slow
Let it work up in your soul
Take ya time and let it grow before you blow
Breathe out let em know what you about
From the words in your mouth
To the way you live it out no doubt

Don't rock don't pop don't
Drop don't move
Just listen real close to what
We're trying to tell you
It's probably something different than
What you're used to
But let me break it down so
The truth don't miss you
I learned a little Bible was
Ready to take off armed with the truth but
Dropped the grace off
When everybody see me they ready to break off
I said to myself oh well, just stay lost
Breathe In
But wouldn't take the word in slow
Lost the context that I heard before
Wouldn't meditate on the word I just go
Forget a commentary I got to save souls
They say wisdom is better
Than silver and gold
But I skipped that verse and I hit the door
Man they couldn't tell me nothing
Thought that I was on to something
And I was running all directions
Just a brother trying to gun it

I was telling folks I know
The Spirit got my back
But I never picked the word
Up and read the facts
It was on now, I was in the zone now
Jesus had twelve well I was on my own now
People leave me alone now
Bout to get it going now
But I fell flat upon my
Face I'm all alone now
Didn't have the truth in my sling
I was just trying to wing it
If it sound good I'ma say it I'ma mean it
If it's in the Bible thats cool
I believe it but I ain't really study so
I couldn't really see it
See man you got to believe man
But now I breathe in
Breathing out is so easy

Last verse but I got a lot more to say
Got a partner named Jay from around the way
Breathe out all day but
He wouldn't breathe in
Man he'd give a seed out
But he wouldn't read man
And he told me theology was for them birds
And he really didn't need it
When he read the word
Look left, look right for a sign from God
But he didn't know the word
Was inspired by God
Telling people bout a couple
Funny things he heard
But the things that he heard
They ain't match the word
If they don't match the word
Well they ain't true
Cause the Bible's the final say
On the things we do
I said Jay now, I understand how you feel
Man I love your zeal but
You probably want to chill
He said Crae now, you can read all day
But I'm just a little different
Man that ain't my way
So I told him, how the word of God was true
How Paul was a Jew who would use the truth
Of the Old Testament to make things clear
Thank God that day Jay turned an ear
Now he reading, reading, and reading the word
And his life look like what
He see in the word
Matter of fact he don't ever
Want to leave the word
I'm trying to tell y'all that
Boy breathe the word
