Rap for Christ
Why? Why did I do it again?
Satan tempts my eyes and thoughts,
And I fall back into my pit of sin.
I know this is wrong, so I want to quit.
But with my eyes sill shut, I just keep missin it.
Missin God. Missin truth. Missin what He has in store.
I like the feelin of sin, but what I can’t see is it’s got me on the floor.
Will He hear me? Do I dare?
Should I open up to Him and share?
Share everything in my heart and mind?
Every horrible sinful pain I keep locked inside?
Ya. I need to stop – and just open up my eyes.
I keep fallin back down. I can’t see below me.
I wanna run to him. I want for him to hold me.
He’s all that I can see above.
I see how much he cares, and all the great depths of his love.
But will He hear me? Do I dare?
Should I open up to Him and share?
Share everything in my heart and mind?
Every horrible sinful pain I keep locked inside?
Ya. I need to stop – and just open up my eyes.
I opened my eyes, but it still ain’t workin.
Somethin’s in the way of me tryin to desperately serve Him.
Wait – did I really open my eyes, or is this just a dream?
Slap myself. Nothin. God, get me outta this dream!
Wow! Now my eyes are open. Is all this really true?
Ya. Of course it is. I’m certain.
Cause the way I see it now, my eyes just needed opened.
Will He hear me? Do I dare?
Should I open up to Him and share?
Share everything in my heart and mind?
Every horrible sinful pain I keep locked inside?
Ya. I need to stop – and just open up my eyes.
Will He hear me? Do I dare?
Should I open up to Him and share?
Share everything in my heart and mind?
Every horrible sinful pain I keep locked inside?
Ya. I need to stop – and just open up my eyes.

so I didnt know where else to post this to get feedback, just wondering what people thought of my lyrics.. the lines in the chorus with bracketted words at the end are sung
yo we living in a game
coming n going
sometimes we feel shame
when we glimpse at the past
and chance the gone with what lasts
we see the days turn to dates
and the dates into memories
every days a matrix u in it or your an enemy
hey
stand up for all to see
let me analyse that
explain what you believe
bullet in the head
would you still profess
to love jesus
aint scared of death
already dead
aint scared of less
got all you need
aint scared to step
up and be
a christian
god sent
n proud to be
—chorus—
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
gotta ask cos it seems to me
you only living for god
when its suiting your dream
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
i ask cos luke warm bitter sweet
aint a way to heaven man
just another mind deceived
just another broken stand
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
hope you aint playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
—verse 2—
man you acting like a sand man
twisting and turning
to the sound of around now
falling and crumbling
the second you knocked down
just one bad word man
you already knocked out
hey
you tryna stand tall
but looking in a mirror
you start to fall
no confirmed identity
no idea
who your meant to be
just another man without belief
who just sleeps and breathes
—chorus—
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
gotta ask cos it seems to me
you only living for god
when its suiting your dream
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
i ask cos luke warm bitter sweet
aint a way to heaven man
just another mind deceived
just another broken stand
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
hope you aint playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
–verse 3—
now i know how you feel man
wanna change the song
cos you knowing how its real man
so i real you in and finish with a punch line
show you your sin
so i show you gods stunts man
a son who died
on a cross now alive
your identity restored
in the blood of our god
who’s love came to us
in the face of our sin
with his perfection evident
not even worthy to step
in his direction
he stepped in ours
intervened and gave us
a reason
gave us a purpose
proposed to us a meaning
a marriage
a covenant
gave us a season
his spirit power
and blessing
and finished
with life everlasting
—chorus—
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
gotta ask cos it seems to me
you only living for god
when its suiting your dream
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
i ask cos luke warm bitter sweet
aint a way to heaven man
just another mind deceived
just another broken stand
you playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
hope you aint playing a game here (yeah a yeah)
hey, lecrae i just wanted to tell you that i listened to tell the world, in the album gravity and you quoted 2 corinthians 5:17! Thats my life testimony and its engraved on my purity ring. I love that song and its very passionate about our savior. The Lord has really worked on my heart since Passion 2012 the one you sang at.. I couldnt have asked the Lord to bless me anymore than he already has and its awesome because i love you and that you were apart of passion that year for me! Thank you, glory be to Jesus!
Dear Lecrae,
I just wanted to let you know how much your music has changed my life. I fell in love with “Go Hard”, “Im a Saint” and “Fall Back” about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Ive always been a strong Christian, but now I feel that my faith is invincible and can’t be broken. Thank you sooo much. My life has been changed forever. I am unashamed.

Dear Lecrae,
I could not find trip Lee’s or your’s fan mail so I decided to just write this letter to you guys on here. I am a huge fan of you guys ever since i became one with Christ. My favorite song by you is “I’m a Saint” and my favorite song by Trip Lee is “I’m Good.” The reason I am writing this letter to you guys is because teens at my church are struggling to find christ. They show up to service, but they are still in possys when you walk around and the room is very segregated. Also, as you walk around it does not seem like a very holy place. The other teens talk about how drunk they got last night and who they want to sleep with. It did not use to be this way and it is very sad.
I was wondering if maybe you or Trip Lee could come and talk to the teen ministry at my church and give a lesson. The teens are very into music at my church and so I think if anyone could change thier life to God, it would be you!
Thank you for your time and please concider coming to my church. It did not use to be this way.
Thanks,
Michael Martinez
