Streets
Lecrae feat. Tedashii & BJ Lyrics

Ay we bring this to the streets
We are sharing this message in the streets

Cause they ain't seen this in the streets
Because they haven't witnessed this before in the streets

But they need this in the streets
But they require this in the streets

Cause it's mean up in the streets
Because it's harsh and challenging in the streets

The redeemed of the streets
Those who were saved in the streets

That used to cling to the streets
Who used to hold onto the streets tightly

Till we saw our thirst wasn't quenched
Until we realized our desires were not satisfied

By the scene of the streets
By the lifestyle and environment of the streets

Ay this ain't aimed at the church
Hey, this is not specifically for the church

But you might be encouraged
But you may find inspiration and motivation

This is for the folks hurt on
This is for the people who are suffering on

The block with the word
The neighborhood where the Christian message is shared

See you playing in the dirt
I see you engaging in sinful activities

Hoping you can get the birds
Hoping you can obtain illegal drugs

Steady sipping on your syrup
Consistently consuming codeine cough syrup

With a dutch full of purp
With a cigar filled with purple marijuana

Let me tell ya what's gon happen dawg
Let me explain what will occur, my friend

This is why I'm rapping dawg
This is the reason why I'm rapping, my friend

You catch time for the crime
You will be sentenced for the criminal act

And then the trapping dawg
And then the drug dealing, my friend

Oh what's worse, is it could be your hearse
Oh, what's even worse is it could be your funeral vehicle

Six feet up in the dirt
Buried six feet underground

Got your baby brother hurt
Causing harm to your younger sibling

Or worse still when you die it gets real
Or even worse, when you die, reality hits

You eternally separated from God
You are forever disconnected from God

For a trillion
For an extremely large number

Million, billion, eternity mayne
Million, billion, for an infinite amount of time, my friend

Ain't no number for it
There is no numerical value for it

This should be concerning ya mayne
This should be alarming to you, my friend

Look, you can't sleep cause
Look, you cannot sleep because

Your sin so heavy
Your wrongdoing is weighing you down

You sweating in your sheets cause
You are perspiring in your bed because

Your sin so heavy
Your transgressions are burdensome

Ready to die, naw dawg, you ain't ready
Prepared to die, no, my friend, you are not prepared

You don't truly know what's on
You don't truly understand what awaits

The other side young it's sin equals death
On the other side, my young friend, sin leads to death

So turn from your mess believe and confess
Therefore, turn away from your chaos, believe and confess

Christ is God in the flesh
Jesus Christ is God incarnate

He died for your debt, He did resurrect
He died to atone for your sins, and He resurrected

A tool and a vest don't
A weapon and body armor do not

Really save you from death
Truly protect you from death

They never saw us coming
They never expected us to arrive

They had their heads turned
They were oblivious and distracted

We faced the persecution
We encountered hardship and opposition

We know the led burns
We understand that the path is painful

We know them nails hurt, we know them
We are aware that the nails cause suffering

We know our futures bright
We are aware that our future is promising

But it ain't in the stars
But it is not determined by fate

We a new generation
We are a fresh, youthful generation

Who know the world's hurts
Who understand the pains of the world

And though we don't rock suit's
And even though we don't wear suits

We still part of the Church
We still belong to the Church

Our souls hurt too, our burdens hurt too
Our souls are also in pain, our burdens are also heavy

We want the Lord to be
We desire for the Lord to be

Glorified on the earth too
Exalted and praised on the earth as well

We wearing dickies yeah
We are dressed in Dickies clothing, yeah

But we still know the Bible
But we still have knowledge of the Bible

We young like David was
We are young like David was

Ready to start revival
Prepared to initiate a revival

I know some kids in Dallas
I am acquainted with some young individuals in Dallas

Still in Junior High
Still attending Junior High School

They ain't trying to pimp girls
They are not attempting to exploit girls

Push work or get high
Distribute drugs or indulge in substance abuse

Yea their jeans hanging low and
Yeah, their jeans are sagging low and

They keep their hat cocked
They tilt their hats to the side

But they living by the word instead
But they are living according to the Scriptures instead

Of living by the block
Rather than living according to the street culture

Getting trained and discipled
Receiving education and mentorship

They changed all their idols
They replaced their former idols

From dudes in the streets to
From individuals in the streets to

The God of the Bible
The God described in the Bible

Chasing cream up in the street
Pursuing wealth in the street

Serving fiends in the street
Providing services to addicts in the street

And the screen that they see makes
And the lifestyle they observe leads them to

Them fiend what they see
Desire what they observe

To be the man of the street
To become the dominant figure in the street

That's why we stand in the street
That's why we stand in the street

To tell the whole world about
To spread the message to the entire world about

The standard of peace
The measure of true peace

The GodMan of the streets
The divine human figure in the streets

Slain Lamb for the street
Sacrificed Lamb for the street

That came and died for all of
Who came and died for all of

The sinful people in the streets
The morally corrupted individuals in the streets

Through Him the cycle in the street
Through Him, the cycle of violence in the street

When men rival in the street
When men engage in conflict in the street

Could be revival in the street
Could lead to a spiritual awakening in the street

Take the Bible to the street
Share the Bible in the street

Cause His bride should be the streets
Because the Church should be actively present in the streets

Stop trying to be discreet why you lunching
Stop attempting to be cautious while you are wasting time

Men and women steady dying in the street
People, both men and women, are continuously losing their lives in the street

So we pray up in the street
So we pray in the street

Man we stay up in the street
Man, we remain in the street

Cause we find our God's heart man
Because we discover the heart of God, man

It pains for the street
He deeply cares for the street
