Aliens
Lecrae feat. Tedashii Lyrics

Aliens! Strangers in Places, foreign in lands that we are in
Despite being in foreign lands, we identify as aliens and strangers because we stand out from the rest.

Call us peculiar, but know that we are
We embrace our uniqueness and are proud of it.

A - A whole notha kind of folks, kinda slow But we gotta go cause the world's so Ill
Although we may be different and may struggle, we still strive to make a positive impact in the world.

L - Livin' the life and livin' it right And livin' for Christ and that's real in the field
We prioritize living a righteous life for Christ, and we stand by it.

I- Intelligent but irrelevant without Christ It's nothing but another sin element
Our intelligence has no meaning or purpose without Christ, and we reject sin.

E- Eternal Purpose, without it this earth is dead and worthless
Our eternal purpose in Christ brings life and value to the earth.

N- Never stop giving Him Props Giving Him praise now until the end of our days
We continuously give glory and praise to God throughout our lives.

S- Seek Him and please Him and let the people know that they need Him
We strive to seek and please God in our actions and we encourage others to do the same.

Aliens! New Creations, new free agents, ain't signed to sin What the world do, we don't do
Our identity as new creations in Christ sets us apart from the world and allows us to reject sin.

Cause we wanna do what the Lord does; Christ within our system Listen our mission's the Great Commission, we come here to represent Him
We aim to emulate Christ and fulfill the Great Commission by representing Him in all that we do.

That's why we call ourself Christianans, Ha, Let me spit another line For the Plumbline and the Frontline one time on the front lines keep holdin' it down for all the pilgrims All over the world representing for the bloodline
We proudly identify as Christians and strive to serve God by being on the front lines, representing the bloodline of Christ for all pilgrims.

I feel like running through the middle of the campus With the Gammas dropping hammers, waving banners, saying "JESUS SAVES!"
We feel a strong desire to spread the message of Christ throughout our community in bold and enthusiastic ways.

Taking heirs of the Kingdom to the field of mission So they can spill vision to the children missin' Telling the men in prison About the "Peace be stiller" "Mr. Rise & Walk" and "Mr. Heal your vision"
We aim to take the gospel to individuals who may have not yet heard it, such as children who lack vision and men in prison, by sharing stories of Jesus' power and love.

Mr. Jesus of Nazareth Bloodied and beaten and we were the reason for the massacre For the sin I commit and even when I slip His love is there to grab us up
We recognize that Jesus was tortured and killed because of our sinful nature, yet His love remains steadfast even when we fall short.

So as for us, We Hit hoods just like Cadillacs And like James in the Kackalacki Do things that will make Him Happy He asks and we do them gladly
We strive to bring the love of Christ to all communities, just like Cadillacs hit every hood. Like James in the book of James, we aim to do things that would make God happy with willing hearts.

He changed us from actin' crappy We came here as Satan's lacky's Now through Christ I call Him Daddy Now I'm just a pilgrim passing
Through Christ, we have been transformed from our old, negative ways and we now call God our Father. We recognize that we are merely passing through this world as pilgrims.

I learned that I don't belong Got new game, new life, new song Don't fit in? theres nothing wrong, Anti-culture's what I'm on
We recognize that we don't fit in with the world's culture, but we find comfort in our new life in Christ and embrace our distinctiveness.

Royal Priesthood, a chosen one, Rep Him well until He comes Proposing to people about the propitiation Pre-paid when Christ died and decided it was done
As chosen ones and part of the royal priesthood, we aim to serve God well until Christ's return, by sharing with others the idea of propitiation, Christianity's belief in the atonement of sin on the cross.

Preaching to the pushed aside prostitute Destitute working the block just to feed her son
We feel a responsibility to share the love of Christ with individuals who have been marginalized, such as prostitutes working to provide for their children.

So if you see us lookin' different dog don't be trippin' just know that we are ALIENS!
If you notice that we stand out from the rest, there is no need to criticize or judge us, because we embrace our identity as aliens and strangers in Christ.

I wish I had a dollar every time I heard em Holla that I look like seem like talk like them
We often receive comments that we look, act, and speak differently from the world, and we recognize that as a positive thing.

I blend in til I stand out and shout "Jesus!" Man I really wanna be like Him
Despite blending in with the world, we aim to stand out and proudly proclaim the name of Jesus, and strive to be more like Him.

And it's funny, they love me until I speak the truth And then they say I'm trying salt they game I gotta do it, I'm the salt of the earth
People may accept us until we start speaking God's truth, and then they criticize us for shaking up their lives. However, we still feel responsible to spread the truth and be the salt of the earth.

I eat, breathe, sleep, think, walk, and talk that man We are not from this planet, we are not from this earth C.O.G.'s something distinctive bout the way that we work
Our lives revolve around emulating Christ in every aspect, because we recognize that we are not of this world. Our distinctive work as children of God reflects our identity in Christ.

I never wanna be discredited for editing the elements Evident of a heaven sent resident I just wanna represent Jesus He the way, the holy King, the priest, and the President
We strive to avoid being condemned for changing our negative ways, and instead be seen as having a heavenly purpose. We simply aim to represent Jesus, who is our way, holy King, priest, and President.

I'mma put it in motion, the world loves sin they boastin' They put it on like some lotion If you focused you fall for the hocus pocus And fall tryna gain ya focus, and I ain't Jokin'
We aim to take action to spread the gospel, because the world is preoccupied with sin and is not focused on what is truly important. We recognize that it is easy to fall prey to the distractions of the world.
