Lecrae - Misconception lyrics

[Verse 1: Propaganda] Slang came from a land where they suffer from the effects of depravity like gang bangin' and earthquakes. Most famous no namers split a brain and plant a taste for the King of kings. I know it's a strange concept. Pedalin' redemption boy what more can I say make me and Lecrae been trying to make Him famous since ninety three. Fillin' these 58′s with phrases that would deem us unfit to succeed among these heathens. It's so crucial in the belly of the crucible that you would understand that stage like your morning candle. It's handin' out cancer that's why fame was never the aim and the back is the front - homie left side up! That's a concept Misconception Those deadly habits have me losin' my cool...
