Lecrae – Rebel (intro) Lyrics

Christian

I'm in rebellion

Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw
A sanctified troublemaker but He never sinned, naw
And He lived His life by a different set of Rules
The culture ain't approve so you know they had to bruise Him
That's the way they do man, they swear they so gangsta
Everyone the same, everybody do the same stuff tattoo, piercings smokin' up and drinking, money and sex plus them extravagant weekends
Man if that's the high life I'll puff puff pass that
You live evaporated like missing a gas cap
I guess I'm passed that; I am in rebellion
I'd rather have a dollar in my pocket than a million
I'm scared to worship money, and my wants over Elyon
I'll remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on
This is what I live for, this the hill I'm buried on
If Jesus is the truth that means one of us is VERY wrong
Think about it

I know that in our day rebel means sinner.
But everyone is sinning, so it is no longer rebellious to sin!
Jesus was a rebel who was counter-cultural.

No glory in me
All glory to the King on the throne (Jesus)
You either love Him or leave Him alone but you can't do both
Yeah, I know you heard that once in song
I pray you hear 10 more fo ya gone
Hey listen up, holmes
Stage is the corner and my crowd is the streets
And I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eat
I'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street
Cause you refuse to conform, won't eat the kings meat
Christ rebelled by shunning the culture
He eatin' with sinners givin Pharasies ulcers
He never got married, he was broke, plus homeless
Yeah that's the God I roll with
Ya boy gotta wife and no I never cheated
I'm prayin for humility whenever I get heated
Forget about the drugs rebel against pornography
This ain't how it oughta be, homie it' how it's gotta be
A rebel

You are just a conformist, if you are drunk and naked, driving around on a loud motorcycle, smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments, getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone has done that, it's so tired! If you really want to be a rebel read your Bible, because no one is doing that! That's rebellion, that's the only rebellion left!

    Speechless! Right on the money. All glory to God the Father. Given those who are super radical no boundaries lov'n the Lord hard and want'n to see others freed up. This album is off the heezzy my neezies! May the Lord keep you my brother in Christ. - Radical for Jesus Marissa O

    In all actuality Jesus was homeless and broke. Its says in the bible "foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath no where to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20). Dont be so focused on materailistic things but think about your blessings waiting for you in Heaven.

    I've been saved for years and this is a great song. It really makes you think about all our sins. It explains so much. It is true that Jesus was a rebel. It is also true that we have no glory.

    Lecrae is an amazing singer! I listen to him every day when i ride the bus to school. I tell TONS of people that he's a Christian rapper, the say theres no such thing as a rapper being Christian.
