[Vocal:]
Yeah.
Just wanna die with a beat.
Swim around in it.
Let's rebel.
[Vocal:]
I'm in rebellion.
(To all my rebels out there.)
I'm in rebellion.
(Rebelling against the culture.
Being transformed.)
I'm in rebellion.
(Ya'll conformed to the ways of this world.
Or this age.)
I'm in rebellion.
(Welcome to the revolution)
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 they had to bruise em
That's the way they do
Man, they swear they so gangsta but everyone's the same
Everybody do the same stuff
Tattoos, piercing
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 you 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 mill-ion
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 fo
This the hill I'm buried on
[ Lecrae Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] If Jesus is the truth
That means one of us is VERY wrong
Think about it.
I'm in rebellion.
(I know in our day, rebel means sinner.)
I'm in rebellion.
(But everyone is sinning, so it is no longer rebellious to sin.)
I'm in rebellion.
(Jesus was a rebel that was counter culture.)
I'm in rebellion.
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 mo fo ya gone
Hey listen up, holmes
Stage is the corner
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 yeah
Christ rebelled by shunning the cultured/ He eatin' with sinners/ Givin' Pharasies ulcers/ He never got married, He was broke and Plus homeless/yeah that's the God I roll wit/ ya boy gotta wife and No I neva 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/ this is how it's gotta be/ A rebel
I'm in rebellion.
(You're just a conformist
Drunken, Naked, Driving around on a loud motorcycle
Smoking cigarettes, Breaking commandments,
Getting pregnant out of wedlock,
Everyone's done that,
It's so tiring,
If you really wanna be a rebel,
Read your bible,
Because no one's doing that,
That's rebellion,
That's the only rebellion left.)
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.
To God be the glory on this song - it is an awesome message.
Just wanna say that, I heard, "I just wanna DIVE in the beat -- swim around in it".. not die in a beat.
too bad jesus wants us blessed..its not money thats the root of all evil..its the love of it. God had money..and a home..He just traveled so he stayed wherever..God was the most blessed man on earth..forget that He was broke mess..I wont except being broke and homeless..Im a king and a child of God..but, its ight he just made a mistake in what he read..hope u see it bro..great music much love
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

I never liked rap until our neighbors suggested Le Crae. I grew up in a christian family and my mother loves rap and there wasn't anything we'd heard b4 this. and this song and the bride are my faves on the CD. LeCrae is so awesome!!!
i went out & bought the album I love it! I can't wait to share it with all my friends, saved & unsaved. (two comments up, "i've been saved for two. . ." that's me.)
i've been saverd for two years, and i've been lokking for some good christian rap with a clear, godly meaning, and it was really refreshing to read lecrea's lyrics. . .
