Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Favored Ladies of God in Christ
Yo
When the people talk it better come from You God
Tell me who ya
Who ya true rock and ya hallelujah
We 'gon give Him praise from here to Cuba
Woo I need to woosah
Jesus washed my sins without a loofah
Ooh I
Do not mean to whoop unless it's hula
If you a hooker with a hookah praise Him in your tube top
Those of you who wretched there's a ratchet in His toolbox
Let His fire purify ya cause your match or lighter to drop
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand
He built like a groom still He look like my best man
Woo yeah yeah
Yeah my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit
I remember there were days when He would not make an appearance
It's apparent that my life needed a parent's interference
Now I ooh wait I can feel conviction in the spirit
Yo I wait on the Lord
Wait
And I'm filling all up on His word
Order my steps I don't walk on the curb
Giving me love I will never deserve
Won over the enemy
Got better life ahead of me now
Had to put away thinking that don't work
Getting rid of all the pain and the fear that brought doubt
Living in a better state of the mind no more hurt
I be singing and praising the Lord no asking
I'm on a new pathing
Everlasting and casting my woes
Walking in confidence know that He rose
Worth in the Lord no man for His role
This ain't no hoax and not merely a parable
Betting on God ain't got need for a power ball
Lord is infallible
Word is invaluable
Know that through Him I defeat all my foes
Start talking to God get the Holy Ghost
La mañana givin' Honor to the Most
Three in Uno You know be the numeral
Uno
Can't ignore You like my name is Samuel
Sammy
Made the manual
So You know me well
Taking orders like I read the menu well
Holy Spirit moving in me can you tell
Knew my pneuma needed You, Emmanuel
Now my shade more like a shadow
My mistake I shouldn't babble
Mama's steak my only cattle
I don't worry or unravel
I got warriors for battle
They get gory with an adder
Took the L for glory after
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand
He built like a groom still He look like my best man
When I serve God, I lift up my left hand
Right hand is righteous, it's right where I rest and
Don't need no gymnast to know where my head stand




He built like a groom still He look like my best man
Best man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A.C.L.'s "The Best" are packed with religious references and personal declarations about the artist's relationship with Jesus Christ. In the first verse, A.C.L. calls on God to speak through him and asks who the true rock is. He goes on to acknowledge Jesus' sacrifice for his sins, and encourages others - even those who may seem unworthy or "wretched" - to turn to God for purification. The chorus emphasizes the importance of waiting on the Lord and being filled with His word, all while giving praise to Him. The second verse continues with a focus on the positive changes that have come about in A.C.L.'s life since accepting Christ, including getting rid of negative thoughts and emotions and living in a better mental state. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, including the line "He built like a groom still He look like my best man," which speaks to the artist's view of Jesus as his faithful companion and guide.


One interesting fact about "The Best" is that it was released in 2018 as part of A.C.L.'s album "Back on the Block," which was a significant milestone for the Christian rapper after a long absence from the music scene. Another is that the song's title is a reference to a line from Jay-Z's 2003 hit "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," which features the lyrics "I move forward, the only direction, can't be scared to fail, search and perfection. Gotta keep it fresh, even when we sexin.' But don't be mad at him when it's on to the next one. And here we go, another morning routine... The best chicks, eh, probably what I'm headed for." A.C.L.'s use of the phrase "the best" in his song serves as a contrast to this, with a focus on seeking a deeper, more meaningful kind of fulfillment.
