For Those who love True Christian Hip hop, or rap this is Lecrae Moore's Go Hard from the Album, rebel.
"Go Hard"
Album-REBEL
Go hard.......
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Lord kill me If I don't preach the gospel
still in my 20's but I'll die if I got to
n' man I'm already dead - man forget my flesh
hadn't 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
If the Cross don't move me then I don't wanna breath no more
If I ain't seeing Christ findin' I don't wanna see no more
Rep Him every day without worrying about bruising
I been to china man I've some real persecution
If U didn't know Christ would ya life look the same
n' they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep his name
man what's the point of living if I'm living for myself
Lord empty out my life before I put you on the shelf
so for God I go hard I don't wanna die tonight
but It's too many people living who ain't heard about the Christ
(chorus)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Went to Asia had to duck and hide for sharin' my faith
They tell me water it down when I get back to states
They say tone the music down you might sell a lot a records
But there's people out here dying and none of em heard the message
Took my wifey on mission trip in central America
Shared her testimony 40 people stood and stared at her
When she said Jesus shouda seen it was insane
cuz 40 out of 40 never heard of Jesus name
Aw mayne we ain't focused on the war we just kickin' it
worried bout our image and our space up on the internet
take me out the game coach I don't wanna play no more
If can't give it all I got and leave it out there on the court
Thank you for the Grace for the will and the desire
got me living for your Glory stead of living to retire
But I pray I'll never tire of going hard for Messiah
I don't need no motivation You the reason I'm inspired
(chorus)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
[Verse 3: Tedashii]
Go for the Lord baby 'til He takes us home (Go hard... Go hard)
Go for the Father baby go on get it on
That's what that is baby That's what they mean (That's what they mean)
That what that is baby That what they mean (That's what they mean)
Wha-What that mean?
That mean that we, should be out up in the streets
Not just in houses with our bible's summarizing what we read
Man this ain't deep (man this ain't deep) why we ain't doing what we read
Its like we sleep (its like we sleep)
But sinners sleepwalk when they sleep
So why can't we (so why can't we)the redeemed of the LORD
Act out, what He said and make a scene for the LORD
Action-cut, say what, like we was the director
But you better get a Grip like movie sets, and get to stepping
I know you done it.... da-done it....da done-and heard it all
You was going hard for the Lord before you heard this song
But don't play yourself to save ya self and walk in fear
Scripture's like a mirror n the truth closer than it appears
go hard...
(chorus)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
Go Hard or Go Home (2x)
Lord Use Me Up (4x)
A word from Lecrae Moore:
I'm doing my best to seize this moment when I don't have much to do. Well that's not the truth I have plenty to do but I don't feel so overwhelmed that I can't write.
I am hurting for the world. Not some generic "world" that people cant see or touch. But for the world around me. For my family, my community, for nations.
I'm am realizing more and more that it is insanity to believe that a CD will be the big relevant tool to open the eyes of the world to Truth or more specifically Jesus.
BUT...I do think the music can help many and I pray the music will push you toward your word and God will use it to turn hearts toward Himself, His church, and His ways.
If you get "Rebel" please take time to think through the songs. Don't just take them at face value. Marinate on them pray about the content and line it up with the word of God. You'll find that many of the songs are really just an exegesis, description, or translation of the bible.
My point is this.
I want the Lord to change your hearts, I want to challenge you, and I want to encourage you. But more than anything I want you to use the Bible as the lens that you see the world through.
If that's the case then you'll see many of the ways we operate and things we think are more American than Christian. We think and act more out of culture and tradition than out of a biblical perspective.
What does God say about relationships, money, depression, guilt, identity, sexuality? He says a lot. If we spend time learning His ways we will find ourselves slowly turning our back and in rebellion against the worlds way of doing things.
One example is male/female relationships. The culture tells us to pursue them at any age and time. It's apparently "cute" for 10 year olds to have boyfriends or girlfriends. The culture says sex is a part of "dating" (which is also cultural).
God on the other hand doesn't tell us "get as close as you can without sinning." He tells us to FLEE sexual immorality. (1st Cor. 6:18) RUN from the opportunity to get into some sexual action.
As rebels we are so in love with Jesus, He is so valuable to us that we look crazy because we actually follow His word. We seem extreme and fanatical, but I wonder if God is preparing our hearts and minds for action due to coming persecution, or the training of a generation that will face oppression and persecution. If we don't stand firm who will? God is establishing His kingdom will you be a part of this or watch from the sidelines. REBEL.
