Lecrae - Rebel Intro lyrics
[Prelude:] Yeah Just wanna dive into the beat Swim around in it Lets rebel [Hook:] Rebel, I'm in rebellion [repeated] Yeah, to all my Rebels out there Rebelling against the culture, being transformed Not conformed to the ways of this world, or this age Welcome to the Rebel-ution [Verse 1:] Jesus was a rebel, a renegade outlaw Sanctified trouble maker, 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 to bruise him That's the way they do, man they swear they so gangsta Everyone the same, everybody do the same stuff Tattoos, piercings, smoking up and drinking Money and s**, plus them extravagant weekends Man if that's the high life of puff puff pa** that You live evaporated like missing a gas cap I guess I'm past that, I'm in rebellion Rather have a dollar in my pocket than a million I'm scared to worship money and my wants over Elyon I remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on This is what I live for, its the hill I'm buried on If Jesus is the truth that means one of us is very wrong Think about it [Hook:] Rebel, I'm in rebellion [repeated] I know in our day rebel means sinner But everyone is sinning, so its no longer rebellious to sin Jesus was a rebel who was counter cultural [Verse 2:] No glory in me, all glory's to the King of the throne You either love him or you leave him alone But you can't do both Yeah I know you heard that once in a song I pray you hear it ten more 'fore you're gone Hey listen up holmes, the stage is the corner the crowd is the streets And I rap the bread of life because they dying to eat Yeah I'm a rebel, you know the kind that die in the street Cause you refuse to conform won't eat the king's meat Christ rebelled by shunning the culture He eating with the sinners, giving Pharisees ulcers He never got married, he was broke plus homeless And yeah that's the God I roll with Your boy got a wife, and no I never cheated I'm praying for humility whenever I get heated Forget about the d**, rebel against p**nography This ain't how it ought to be homie its how its gotta be A rebel [Hook:] Rebel, I'm in rebellion [repeated] [Spoken sample] Youre just a conformist, if you're drunk and naked and driving around on a loud motorcycle smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments And getting pregnant out of wedlock Everyone's done that, it's so tiring If you really want to be a rebel, read your Bible, because no one is doing that Thats rebellion Thats the only rebellion left
