Represent
Lacrae/Tedashii Lyrics

Represent! Get Krunk! Represent! Get Krunk!
This song is about representing Jesus and getting hyped up about it.

If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up
If you are proud to represent Jesus, show it with enthusiasm!

I know this might be a shock but, I'mma blow your spot up
The artist is going to speak some truth that might catch the listener by surprise.

Truthfully in Grace and out of Love, ain't trying to pop stuff
The artist is speaking truth in a kind and loving way, not trying to start any drama.

Heard ya pops locked up
The artist knows someone whose father is in jail.

Baby sister's knocked up
Someone in the artist's life has a teenage sister who is pregnant.

All your old boys from the block are getting shot up
People the artist knows from his neighborhood are being killed by gunfire.

I feel your pain homey, I got the same story
The artist can relate to the listener's struggles and hardships.

But since you came to Christ you got to bring His name Glory
Now that the listener has turned to Jesus, they have to live their life in a way that brings honor to His name.

No more living in the darkness, no more living heartless
Through Jesus, the listener can live a transformed life away from sin and darkness.

'Cause you got that Holy Spirit dwelling inside your carcass
The listener has the Holy Spirit living inside them to help guide them in their new life.

Your life's been changed up, rearranged up
The listener's life has been transformed and they now have a new perspective on things.

You've been reborn and you don't have to do the same stuff
Through Jesus, the listener has been given a new chance to live their life in a way that is pleasing to God and does not involve past mistakes and sins.

You live regenerate, you get the benefit of Christ crucified
Through Jesus, the listener has been saved and given access to the salvation Christ provided through His sacrifice on the cross.

But you got to live in it, God is preeminent
The listener has to actively live out their faith in order to fully experience the benefits of the salvation provided by Christ.

And forgiveness is unlimited, but stop and
God's forgiveness is freely given but the listener needs to acknowledge and ask for it.

From the flats to the drops to the burbs
This song is for everyone, from all different backgrounds and neighborhoods.

Calling out to the cats who be dropping the word
The artist is reaching out to fellow Christians who are also spreading the word of God.

Who be representing Christ, Not ashamed to share his life
The artist is calling out to those who are proud to represent Jesus in their everyday lives and not afraid to share their faith.

Catching flack for his props in the world
These Christians may face criticism or backlash for openly expressing their faith.

To the cats that represent Him well while putting the Cross on the move
The artist is giving props to those who are representing Jesus well and spreading His message through their actions.

As they reaching for the cats who
These Christians are also reaching out to those who may not know Jesus yet.

Steppin into hell while they flossing new shoes
People may be living in sin and enjoying worldly pleasures, but these Christians are actively trying to reach them and share the message of salvation.

Packin gats and flossin new coupes
Those who are living in sin may also be involved in dangerous and violent lifestyles.

Making hoodrats doin' the do, acting a fool
Those living in sin may engage in promiscuous and reckless behaviors.

But the jigga that figures pullin the trigger
The person who thinks that using violence is the answer to their problems...

With vigor can make him bigger needs to get in with the Cox Grave Digger
...should instead turn to Jesus and get involved with Christians who are working towards salvation.

'Cause you live a life sin thats the wages of death
Living in sin leads to spiritual death and separation from God.

If you livin by the gun that's the way into debt
Those who continue to use violence will only end up with lifelong consequences and regrets.

But if you living the life and living it right
Those who turn to Jesus and live a life that pleases Him are on the path to eternal salvation.

Put your fist in the sky with all of your might
Praise and worship God with all of your energy and heart.

Til you way out of breath, chest pumping all hard due to heavy palpitations
Give everything you have when praising God, to the point where you are out of breath and your heart is racing with emotion.

Thirsting for the Lord with Heavy salivation
You should desire God like you desire water when you're really thirsty – with a hunger and thirst that can't be easily quenched.

But you ain't fraud you'll pull a sinners card
Don't pretend to be something you're not. Even though you are saved by Jesus, you were still a sinner before and are capable of making mistakes.

'Cause you love the Lord and His habit of salvation repping like Steven
The listener should be proud to show their love for Jesus and spread His message like the biblical character of Steven.

Getting stoned for the stone you believe in
Even if the listener faces persecution or harm for their faith, they should not be afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

Or slinging the stone into the dome of the heathen Philistine men
The artist is using a biblical reference to show how Christians should not be afraid to boldly stand up for their faith.

Represent! Get Krunk! Represent! Get Krunk!
Once again, the artist is urging listeners to represent Jesus with enthusiasm and energy.

If you know you're repping Jesus go ahead and throw it up
This line is repeated to keep encouraging listeners to be proud of their faith and show it with passion and energy.
