If Jesus is the truth that means one of us is VERY wrong This is what I live for, this the hill I'm buried on I'll remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on I'm scared to worship money, and my wants over Elyon I'd rather have a dollar in my pocket than a million I guess I'm passed that I am in rebellion You live evaporated like missing a gas cap Man if that's the high life I'll puff puff pass that Tattoo, piercings smokin' up and drinking, money and sex plus them extravagant weekends That's the way they do man, they swear they so gangstaĮveryone the same, everybody do the same stuff The culture ain't approve so you know they had to bruise Him As long as Lecrae continues to speak to his peers on their own terms he’s bound to have more people listening.A sanctified troublemaker but He never sinned, nawĪnd He lived His life by a different set of Rules Rebel is smart and passionate, but more importantly it doesn’t condescend to its target audience. Unlike most Christian albums, the music here is as authentic and heavy as anything on Young Jeezy’s last album, only rather than describe life in the trap house, Lecrae rhymes about life in the Lord’s house: “Already dead so forget my flesh,” he says in “Go Hard.” “I done been crossed over see the full court press / I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me / Running from my trials thinkin’ everything’s groovy.” Rather than simply rattle off Bible verses, Lecrae analyzes stories from his personal experience, and shows the insecurity and unhappiness that lie just underneath the material excesses and self-pleasure of modern hip-hop culture.
