With the success of singles, Giving it up, and the worship infused, All You Are featuring Hillsong United, Rhema Soul was propelled to a new level, earning awards (Just Plain Folks Music Awards winners for Best Hip Hop album), nominations (The music video for Steez was nominated for Best Video by The Gospel Music Channel), and rave reviews on the web and in print.
Fingerprints, Rhema Soul's genre-defying album released in March of 2010, took them all over the world and positioned the group for success and mass influence. Break out singles like Boombox and the iron sharpens iron-esque Blow Your Whistle resonated with fans from all walks of life, while the heart wrenchingly transparent Fly Away single and video intensified the group's buzz, ensuring their place on today's music scene.
Now, together with 2:20 Entertainment Group/Black Fuel Music (Group One Crew, Hyland, Ryan Stevenson, Charmaine), Rhema Soul is set to make an impact like never before, touring extensively and maintaining a consistent presence on the conference circuit with speakers such as Carl Lentz, Chris Hill, Rich Wilkerson Jr., and Chris Durso.
Be sure to catch Rhema Soul at Rock the Universe (Universal Studios, Orlando) with Switchfoot, David Crowder Band, and Family Force Five.
Rhema Soul is currently in the studio with Dove Award winning producer Andy Anderson (Group One Crew, Toby Mac, Rachael Lampa) recording their biggest album yet, due out later this year through Black Fuel Music/Universal.
Neva Lay Low
Rhema Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like my mind is in the louis
Meaning it's in a new state
Aboard a jet blue plane
Kind of like i'm on a two day
I must be tripping cus i said all of that to say
I am on the fence so touché
I don't like recess so i don't like to play
Speaking of reese's, my peace is up in that movie
Passion of christ; maybe you've seen it up on the blue ray
Captured in lights, but my savior gives me a new day and in fact a new life
So i can never lay low, nah i have to ignite
And i ain't got a halo because i live an actual life
The rain is a reminder that one day i'll be raptured with christ
Chorus:
He's forever giving me rest.
It's like i'm reclining
He ordered all my steps
So i keep them in line with
His word is upon my breath
So i'm breathing in life, yeah
No i will never lay low
Juanlove verse:
It's a brand new day can't be discreet, no frills and no foolery
Been rapping since the lunch tables dreaming of cars and jewelry
At silver lakes, with high stakes, free lunch and buffoonery
Pursuing and doing the work the movement was moving me
Rap city on the tv screen, i'm standing front the mirror
No fear as i recited some raps and the passion grew in me
It's no coincidence i spent hours just glued to beats
Smoking on cigarettes and battling my silhouette
Shooting for timeless like an epic on the movie screen
Ambition made me ugly not to mention god ruined me,
And moved in me so i can never hold back or lay low
I work to live and live to write and this is who i choose to be
Chorus:
He's forever giving me rest.
It's like i'm reclining
He ordered all my steps
So i keep them in line with
His word is upon my breath
So i'm breathing in life, yeah
No i will never lay low
Butta p verse:
They hold me on pedestal
They look to me for answers
I gladly take the challenge cause their lives is all that matters
And i could never fathom holding back the source who has them
Labeled as children of god
He just wants for us to ask him
Help us cause we're lacking
Our lives without you are cracking
How can we maneuver without you as the map and
I'm so about his business
My father's more than some wishes
He's more like answered prayers when knees cant bend cause they're missing
I got a reason to fight now
No time for laying low now, i ain't made to fold now
I was made to hold down
My family when they're broken down
So i'm a let you know now that the god i serve us so wow
So forever i will bow down!

It's like my mind is in the louis

Meaning it's in a new state
Clarifying that the previous line was referring to a new state of mind
Aboard a jet blue plane

Kind of like I'm on a two day
Feeling energized and invigorated
I must be tripping cus I said all of that to say
Acknowledging the seemingly random thoughts and ideas being expressed
I am on the fence so touché
Saying that he's undecided or uncertain about something
I know what the rules say, but this ain't a school day

Our lives without you are cracking
Acknowledging the importance of faith in his life
How can we maneuver without you as the map and
Viewing faith as a guiding force in his life
I'm so about his business
Committed to living a life of faith and purpose
My father's more than some wishes
Viewing his faith as more than just a passive desire
He's more like answered prayers when knees can't bend cause they're missing
Finding strength and hope in prayer and faith
I got a reason to fight now
Feeling motivated and inspired by his faith
No time for laying low now, I ain't made to fold now
Being driven to always do more and be more
I was made to hold down
Believing in his strength and ability to lead and inspire others
My family when they're broken down
Feeling responsible for supporting and guiding those closest to him
So I'm a let you know now that the God I serve us so wow
Expressing his deep appreciation and awe for his faith
So forever I will bow down!
Reminding himself to always stay humble and grateful
