I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections,
And their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings.
And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur.
Why am I this way? Make War!
Bang with me
Ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me
No more playing games mane
Cause this thang can get risky
So mane if you in Christ
TAKE UP!/your cross quickly
Stand fearless on the frontline
Time to come with it
Do the right thing
WAKE UP!
And lets get it
I ain't even in the ring
They throwing bows like Riddick
Persistently attacking me
They're even in the back of me
It's either fight or loose my life and I can't take this passively
So what you think I'm bout to do
I'm bout to do what I can do
Trust the ONE who got me through
And fight like it was after school
Never giving up
Steady, standing on the battle field
Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on Chappel Hill
Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me
Satan cheers me on
Guilt followed by conviction
It's the same ol' trap
And we fall like we defenseless
Work your senses, grow in wisdom
Stand firm and be relentless
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death/every breath/like I beat my chest/
I make war!
Sun up
I make war!
Sun down
I make war!
Time in
I make war!
Time out
I make war!
Against lust
Against pride, against me, until I die
Do you even have a clue
What happened to you when He died
When that tomb got rolled when He rose in the sky
I think we emphasis sin so much
That it makes us paralyzed
And glorify struggle so much
That it makes us terrified
And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus
We gotta snap out of it
We ain't in no straight-jacket
We free
When Jesus died in our lives something strange happened
He gave us power
Yeah I know that we sinners but since He rose He's renewing the image of God in us
Now, we gotta start making war
Now we can start saying no
To them fleshy impulses that Jesus Christ is paying for
Now we can start taking the lead
Just like the Dalai Lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber
Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder
By His grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no tomorrow
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death, every breath, like I beat my chest
I make war!
Sun up
I make war!
Sun down
I make war!
Time in
I make war!
Time out
I make war!
Against lust
Against pride, against me, until I die
I'm a Christ representer, fin to stand and deliver
Cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda
So I dropped this on an ADAT
Just so you could come play back/
A hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back
So listen up to it ASAP
Like you do a Lecrae track
I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap
Sinning, nawl we don't play that
Cause that's the way that a slave acts
I'm filled with the Spirit so tell them dog this is pay back
As you begin to copy the carbon copies of Christ
And conform to His written image you should be shinning a light
If you not, why is that?
Is it fear that's been grippin' you
Cause you scared they'll be dissin' you
Flipping birds while that spit at you
If you not, why is that?
It don't matter so bump it
Perfect love cast out fear and He ain't save us for nothing
His is a privilege (privilege)
Your life to give to Him (give to Him)
So stand firm for Him dawg and lets get it in
I make war!
Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance
You can see it in my dreams
I make war!
Man I beat my flesh
To the death/every breath/like I beat my chest/
I make war!
Sun up
I make war!
Sun down
I make war!
Time in
I make war!
Time out
I make war!
Against lust
Against pride, against me, until I die
I make war...
About This Song
"Make War" is a spiritually charged hip-hop anthem that calls Christians to actively combat sin and spiritual complacency rather than passively accepting their struggles. Opening with a powerful sermon excerpt from pastor John Piper, the song transforms the concept of spiritual warfare into an urgent call to action, with Tedashii delivering aggressive, militaristic lyrics over hard-hitting beats that mirror the intensity of the message. The track explores themes of personal accountability, spiritual discipline, and the need to "take up your cross" with courage rather than wallowing in self-pity about moral failures. Musically, it blends traditional hip-hop production with Christian rap's confessional style, creating a sound that's both confrontational and inspiring. The song stands out in Christian hip-hop for its unflinching approach to addressing sin and spiritual growth, making it a rallying cry for believers seeking transformation rather than excuses.
