Another tack on the Rebel Album by Lacrae Moore, lets reel against all the things of this present world, against all its wickedness:
"FALL BACK"
Album-Rebel
I know you might've seen it on the TV
You hear it on the radio and CD
But you can be deceived pretty easy
Believe me you might wanna (fall back)
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Lies in them songs lies on television
No telling what lies on the television
learned sarcasm, sexism, racism
learned to worship money cars
learned to hate Christians
All the Christians in the movies so typical
alcoholic, child molesting, hypocritical and mystical
They say since everybody is doing it it's normal
But Jesus says be transformed and don't let them conform you
You aint thin enough you need diet
you need a psychic everybody does it you should try it
Spring break hit the beach what you sposed to do?
be careful what the media impose on you
You learned how to find peace from a TV show
you learned how to ride clean from them videos
In 30 seconds a commercial have you mixed up
call now and we can have your whole life fixed up
(chorus)
I know you might've seen it on the TV
You hear it on the radio and CD
But you can be deceived pretty easy
Believe me you might wanna fall back
The enemy's crafty and misleading
that's why I use the Word of God to lead me
And I aint eating everything they feed me
Tryna deceive me so I gotta fall back
[Verse 2: Trip Lee]
These days if you watch the, box you should block your
Mind in these times, and them lies that could lock you
They telling girls in our world to be hot stuff
And telling dudes link with crews on the block tough
Plus I'm feeling like they mock us
They think that God is old school like a box cut
But I'm sure that His flock's tough
And we can judge what is bug, and live pleasing in His sight when the clock's up
I hope we gazing through His lens with eyes
So we can defend what it is when we get they lies
Its on that cash that they fix their mind
Man they always sayin cheese like its picture time (be easy)
Tell em cool it with the mind games
I'm chasing Christ, I'm renewed in my mind frame
And removed from them tired games
say my life it aint mine man
We must remove the damaged parts like a tire change
(chorus)
I know you might've seen it on the TV
You hear it on the radio and CD
But you can be deceived pretty easy
Believe me you might wanna fall back
The enemy's crafty and misleading
that's why I use the Word of God to lead me
And I aint eating everything they feed me
Tryna deceive me so I gotta fall back
[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Be a rebel let the word of God lead you
Cuz satan uses media to tempt you and deceive you
He will lead ya leach ya and leave ya
so be careful as you navigate thru media
take heed fo gravity get the best of you
and you'll find the concrete bench pressin you
use the word of God to help filter all that
Before you fall into the trap you better fall back
[Verse 4:Trip Lee]
You know what I call that? I call that maturity
Learnin how to fall back so you can live in purity
Learnin how to walk that and saying to them you ain't luring me
The media is meeting us with lies but He's curing me (be easy)
I know them guys trying to hype you
But cling to the Lord's Word, flee from them vipers
We spitting aiming at your heart like snipers
We'd like for you to desire God like Piper
(chorus)
I know you might've seen it on the TV

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.
