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.
Sky's Not the Limit
Rhema Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If the sky is the limit
That means my mind isn't with it
My dreams are bias or crazy fly
Because they're higher than it is fly
I am eyeing infinite things i'm defying the physics
I know that i am just some ions compiled in his image
I'll travel wherever he wants me i ain't gonna pivot
I thank him and my lucky stars, for the mic i been given
Because he's behind all of these bars
Sort of like he's in prison so i am living this life
I'm pushing the limits; this life you'll come out with nothing, this life is what you put in it
Your image will fade and with it, you'll wither away diminish,
Look back on your days and wish that you lived it out the fullest
"abundant life" is how he put it yeah
We're animals that couldn't bear
The pounds he took before pounds were urban greeting like "put er there"
You must be unaware,
But i can't blame you; sometimes it feels like he's hidden, but holding it all together like under wear
Butta p verse:
Year after year i'm feeling
Like we are still rebuilding
We got a team so mean that
I could never see myself just chillin
I could never fall back
Cause all it does is call back
I been in a place before where i let go but had to crawl back
Now feel me when i tell ya i been thru hell but when a
Shorty got low on the dough i knew my time was up so i rebelled but
Christ in my life i'm shining, was blind but now i'm grinding
Steady on the move like a rescue crew emergency timing
My haters couldn't hold me
They try but can't destroy me
I'm made from a man who understands and told me that they need his story
I'm flying high now
So take me off your radar
Nothing in this world could hold me down don't compare to who they are
Call me crazy if you wanna
We're hotter than a sauna
The son we serve made the son that serves that heat up in your summers
The sky is not my limit
Listen if you don't get
God is the reason he's the one who sets up all my limits
The song "Sky's Not the Limit" by Rhema Soul is a powerful declaration of faith and determination. The lyrics of the song challenge the idea that the sky is the limit, suggesting that our potential goes far beyond what we can see in the physical realm. K-nuff's verse in the song speaks to this idea, saying that if the sky is the limit, then his mind isn't with it. He believes that his dreams are higher than anything he can see in the sky and that he is defying the laws of physics to achieve them.
K-nuff recognizes that he is just a small part of something greater, and he puts his trust in the Messiah to guide him on his journey. He is grateful for the talent he has been given and recognizes that he is using it to bring glory to God. Butta P's verse in the song is a testament to his resilience and work ethic. He has been through tough times but has always found a way to come back stronger. He knows that he can never rest because there is always more work to be done.
Overall, "Sky's Not the Limit" is a reminder that we are capable of so much more than we think. We should never settle for what we can see in front of us but instead strive to reach the heights of our potential.
Line by Line Meaning
If the sky is the limit
If my potential is restricted to the highest point in the atmosphere
That means my mind isn't with it
That means my ambitions are low because my mind can imagine beyond the sky
My dreams are bias or crazy fly
My aspirations may seem impossible or irrational to some
Because they're higher than it is fly
Because they exceed the highest point in the atmosphere
I am eyeing infinite things i'm defying the physics
I am aiming for boundless goals that defy the laws of physics
I know that i am just some ions compiled in his image
I understand that I am an atom formed in God's likeness
My only hope is the messiah, the guy the stick,
My only hope is Jesus, who guides my path like a staff does a traveler's journey
I'll travel wherever he wants me i ain't gonna pivot
I am willing to follow Jesus' lead without hesitation or deviation
I thank him and my lucky stars, for the mic i been given
I am grateful to God and fortunate circumstances for the musical talent I possess
Because he's behind all of these bars
Because God is responsible for the lyrics and music I create
Sort of like he's in prison so i am living this life
Because God is omnipresent, He is with me even when I feel confined
I'm pushing the limits; this life you'll come out with nothing, this life is what you put in it
I am challenging myself to reach beyond my perceived limitations because life is what you make of it
Your image will fade and with it, you'll wither away diminish,
Your legacy will diminish over time and eventually be forgotten
Look back on your days and wish that you lived it out the fullest
Reflect on your life and regret not pursuing your dreams with passion
"abundant life" is how he put it yeah
Jesus promised a fulfilling and meaningful life
We're animals that couldn't bear
We are creatures that cannot carry our burdens alone
The pounds he took before pounds were urban greeting like "put er there"
Jesus suffered for us before it became a common expression of greeting
You must be unaware,
You might not comprehend
But i can't blame you; sometimes it feels like he's hidden, but holding it all together like under wear
Even though God may seem concealed, He is still maintaining the world's functionality like an undergarment supporting the body
Year after year i'm feeling
I am experiencing a sense of deja vu
Like we are still rebuilding
Like our society is still recovering and improving
We got a team so mean that
We have a group so skilled and strong that
I could never see myself just chillin
I cannot envision myself idling or relaxing
I could never fall back
I cannot retreat or regress
Cause all it does is call back
Because it only leads to relapse
I been in a place before where i let go but had to crawl back
I have experienced times where I lost my way but managed to regain my purpose
Now feel me when i tell ya i been thru hell but when a
Now understand me when I say that I have experienced adversity
Shorty got low on the dough i knew my time was up so i rebelled but
When I faced financial hardship, I felt hopeless and acted rebelliously
Christ in my life i'm shining, was blind but now i'm grinding
With Jesus in my life, I feel radiant and motivated despite my past struggles
Steady on the move like a rescue crew emergency timing
I am constantly advancing like a team of rescuers hurriedly responding to an emergency
My haters couldn't hold me
My detractors could not impede my progress
They try but can't destroy me
They attempt to ruin me but are unsuccessful
I'm made from a man who understands and told me that they need his story
I am created in God's image, and He revealed to me that people require knowledge of His message
I'm flying high now
I am living confidently and purposefully
So take me off your radar
Do not ignore me, but pay attention to my progress and achievements
Nothing in this world could hold me down don't compare to who they are
Nothing can hinder my potential, so do not judge me based on others' accomplishments
Call me crazy if you wanna
You may consider me insane
We're hotter than a sauna
We are performing better than others
The son we serve made the son that serves that heat up in your summers
God's son created the sun that gives warmth during summertime
The sky is not my limit
I have boundless aspirations beyond the confines of the sky
Listen if you don't get
Pay attention if you do not understand
God is the reason he's the one who sets up all my limits
God determines my potential and capabilities
