Holy Ghost gonna have you speaking in tongues
I'm a part of a dynasty
A family that's been set free like me

Everywhere I go all eyes on me
Cuz when I lead 'em to the cross
God the Father is the boss
My job is to win the lost
Save a soul at any cost
We gonna go from the east coast to the west coast
Find out who's reppin' the most
New generation, taking our freedom
Reppin' the kingdom

[Chorus]
Reppin' the Kingdom

Bow your head to Jehovah
Okay, now you're a soldier

And if you're reppin' Christ
Let me see you hit the floor





We represent the kingdom of God, man
