Lecrae – Identity Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Woo uh, ha, yeah
Aw yeah, Truth, come on JR
I'm feelin' it, man

Yeah, hair, check
Shoes, check
A brand-new fit lookin' cool, check
I'm lookin' in the mirror like, ooh, yes
To cover for an insecure dude, check

But she won't feel me, and they won't like me
If I ain't in them J's or them brand-new Nike's
Let's dig deeper inside my psyche
When it's all said and done, even I don't like me

He live in the gym and his hair stay faded
Late model car, so they think he made it
He's Christian, he gave his life
But he still ain't satisfied in the Savior Christ

Still finds his identity in looks and cars
If he only knew that he ain't have to look so hard
If he looked in God, it may seem odd
But he'd be so satisfied, he can leave it all, yeah

I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You, you can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ

Hey, how do I gain success?
Why do I say I'm blessed?
Huh?
Is it the car that I drive?
Or the place that I rest?
Or the way that I dress?
Now, now

Is the cause of my pride
The stage and the set?
Or my face in the press?
Now, now
It's the applause that dies
When the praise is less
If my face is depressed
Then, then

It's 'cause my value and worth's in the volume of the work
I produce in the booth, in the booth
It's a prize and a curse if defined by the perks
When the Truth is through, is through

Man, I won't feel like I don't want to live no more, no more, no more, ha
'Cause they don't like me, like they did in O four, O four, O four
So I swallow my pride empowered by God, I'm complete in Him
He's got peace, God's priest, I'm in
In His presence, weak is strength

Meet His kin
We His brethren
Read this list
Me forgiven
He's dismissed
Guilt and my sin and then I find my worth
'Cause I'm Jesus' friend

I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You, you can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ

Got her hair done, toes, nails
Is that her?
Well, it's hard to tell
'Cause she's so caked up in all that make up
It's like she tryna make up for what she ain't, but

She's a saint, but so confused
'Cause she's been rejected by all these dudes
That tell her on a scale of ten, she's a two
But that ain't true
If she only knew

In Christ, she is loved, she's secure and accepted
Never be rejected by God who's elected her
Her beauty is her godliness
And she ain't gotta flaunt it 'cause it's obvious

Identity is found in the God we trust
Any other identity will self-destruct
Identity is found in the God we trust
Any other identity will self-destruct
Now

I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buy
I'm not the house I live in
I'm not the car I drive, no
I'm not the job I work
You, you can't define my worth
By nothing on God's green earth
My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

    I am a 43 year old woman from Newark, Ohio. I am a woman of God, raising two children as a single parent. My daughter is 20 and just graduated from college and my son is 13 years old and is a gifted student w/ scholarships being offered to him already, God has truly blessed in this way. I love gospel music and have known God all my life and have instilled God's way of life into my children. I love to sing and love music and have every gospel CD known to man and I just purchased the LECRAE/REHAB CD and fell in love with it instantly. The rap/rock style of his music drew my children in to listening to his songs along with me and then when I printed out the words for them and myself it was just astounding how deep and profound his lyrics were. They really connected w/ my spirit and I have to say that of all the gospel music lyrics that I have heard that I have never heard words like Lecrae's as they were so powerful and meaningful and had a true grit about them lined with reality of life today. I'm sitting here at work now at my desk crying and praising the Lord listening to his music. I love and adore ALL of his music but the song "just like you" just hits me so hard that I can't stop listening to it. I just thank God for Lecrae and that he heeded the word of God by putting his talent to work that God has given him. I will continue to pray his strength in the Lord and want him to know that I am so very proud of him and love him with the love of Christ.Be Blessed Lecrae!!
