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.

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

We've been given a call
Been forgiven, risen, we livin' to give him our all
Rise up from your past it's holding you down
This moment is all that matters the future is now
How will the people know if we don't tell 'em if we fail 'em
They stumblin' in the dark but the light is what we carry
Yea, don't have to wonder your purpose or what you here for
Reflect his image and show the world what he cares for

And I know it's alright
And you know it's your life
And we know that time's running out
Can't wait around cause
The time is now

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

I've been a lot of places where the scene ain't pretty
I've seen plenty of hatred death and destruction where ignorance kills many
The blind leading the blind we turning a blind eye
That alone is a crime we got the power of life
I know that we make mistakes don't let 'em keep you away
Mercy love and His grace is the reason we move ahead
Speak out though we never been qualified to do it
I ain't earned it, I was loved into it I'm brand new, yea

And I know it's alright
And you know it's your life
And we know that time's running out
Can't wait around cause
The time is now

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey
