Live Free
Lecrae feat. Sho Baraka & Jai Lyrics

I'm free from sin
I have been released from the weight of my sins.

I win! I win!
I am victorious in my newfound freedom from sin.

I'm free! I'm free!
I am completely liberated from the chains of sin and death.

And no more chains are holding me!
I am no longer bound by the shackles of sin and death.

I'm free from death
I have been liberated from the fear of death.

Got power now
I have been imbued with spiritual strength and resilience.

Me kill the flesh
I am committed to overcoming my earthly desires and temptations.

(tell the world) I'm gone
I am proclaiming my spiritual independence from the destructive forces of sin and death.

I know when you hear this beat it sound like something to step with
Although the music may be enjoyable to dance to, it carries a deeper message about faith and righteousness.

But morals and music you want them separate
Many people prefer to keep their music and morals separate, but this song integrates them in a Christ-centred message.

Like garnish on the side something ya'll don't mess with
Some people may view the Christian message as an unimportant side dish, but this song argues that it is an essential aspect of a fulfilled life.

That christo-centric rap electric
This song is a rap musical that centres around a Christian perspective and message.

You might like rap that's wild and wreckless
Some may prefer more carefree and hedonistic rap music.

A soap box for lots young and restless
Rap music can be a platform for young and restless individuals to express themselves and their beliefs.

They got ya head bobbin til ya lose ya necklace
The beat of the song can be so compelling that one may lose track of their belongings.

Or betta yet bobbin til it leaves you neck less
The music may be so invigorating that one becomes unaware of their surroundings.

You know where death is, where no more breath is and
The message of the Christian faith is that death is the ultimate end of life, but there is eternal hope beyond it.

3rd graders learn how to leave you chestless
Even young children can be taught how to inflict serious harm on others.

Where god is dissed, dismissed and distant and far
Many people reject or neglect the existence of God and perceive him as a distant and irrelevant concept.

From their hearts cause they hard and wicked
Their hearts have grown hard and stubborn due to their wicked ways.

Sin hates god for real
Sin is diametrically opposed to God's goodness and love.

That's he's rarely talked about and he don't get the mass appeal
God is not always popular or widely accepted in mainstream culture.

You might see sin sharin' a meal that it eats while
People may indulge in sinful behaviour while they are consuming a meal.

It cheats on the spouse out seeking a thrill
Infidelity is a common manifestation of sinful desires.

They walk in the church dressed flyer than sea birds
They may dress extravagantly and flamboyantly while attending church.

She came to see him he hopin' to see her
He may be attending church to see a prospective romantic partner.

They motives ain't right and they heart ain't either
Their intentions and hearts may not be pure in their church attendance and behaviour.

And over god they choose to feed they fever
They may prioritize their own desires and impulses over their relationship with God.

See he don't understand that it's christ who bled for
He may not fully comprehend the significance of Jesus' crucifixion for humanity's redemption.

Every second glance every turn of his head yo
Jesus gave his life for every aspect of our being, including our thoughts and actions.

And she don't really get that
She may not fully grasp the extent of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity.

Jesus did that
Jesus died on the cross for the sins of humanity.

For every time she fantasize about his six pack
She may have impure thoughts and desires that run counter to Christian teachings.

They sure like al b
They may idolize certain celebrities or musicians.

To connect like his brows be
They aspire to connect with their idols in the same way Al B Sure's eyebrows are connected.

And with they bodies spit in god's face so foully
They may engage in sinful behaviour that dishonours God and defies his teachings.

Sin so
Sin is a pervasive force that permeates human existence.

Bad it's a liar
Sin is deceptive and misleading.

It's says we on the throne tells god to retire
Sin may lead us to believe that we can rule our own lives and that God is irrelevant.

It's says he ain't enough
Sin may convince us that God's love and provision are insufficient for our needs and wants.

And it says we want more
Sin may foster an insatiable desire for more worldly possessions and pleasures.

Is says he ain't just and it says he ain't lord
Sin may cause us to doubt God's justice and authority.

Sin is the laugh at his power
Sin is a mockery of God's omnipotence and sovereignty over all creation.

Rape of his mercy
Sin is a violation of God's merciful nature and intentions for us.

Mock of his patience
Sin is a derision of God's enduring patience with human fallibility and disobedience.

It say he ain't worthy
Sin may lead us to question God's worthiness of our devotion and respect.

I been duped and been schemed
I have been deceived and manipulated by sin and destructive behaviours.

Like the lord was cool with my sinning
I used to believe that God was indifferent to my sinful behaviour.

Mocking the cross living unrepented
I used to take the sacrifice of Jesus for granted and fail to seek forgiveness for my sins.

My sinful life kept us so
My sinful way of living created a great rift between myself and God.

Distant
God felt far away and unreachable due to my sinful behaviour.

I know lord and been king
Through my acceptance of Jesus as my saviour and lord, I have been reconciled with God.

Let him run your life like a
By submitting to God's will and guidance, I have handed over control of my life to him.

Simmons
By using a simile, the song suggests that letting God run one's life is the equivalent of letting a professional run one's business.

Then you'll start loving his righteousness and we start
By surrendering to God's will, I have begun to love his just and righteous nature.

Looking just like his kids
I have become more Christ-like in my actions and beliefs, reflecting the nature of God's children.

Live free by his mercy and grace
By relying on God's mercy and grace, I have been freed from the chains of sin and death.

and tell the world I'm gone
I am proclaiming the good news of my salvation and spiritual liberation to the world.

Live free by his patience and peace
By embracing God's patience and peace, I am able to navigate the challenges and trials of life with a greater sense of serenity.

and tell the flesh I'm gone
I am committing to overcoming my worldly desires and temptations and living a life of spiritual purity and devotion.

Live free by his joy and love
By experiencing the joy and love of God, I am able to live a more fulfilling and enriching life.

and tell the lust I'm gone
I am freeing myself from the grip of lust and other immoral desires by submitting to God's will and guidance.

Live free by his truth and just
By adhering to God's truth and just nature, I am able to live a life of integrity and authenticity.

and tell the hate I'm gone
I am releasing myself from the burden of hate and negativity by embracing God's love and compassion.
