The Ambassador Feat. Lecrae & Trip Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya boy Lecrae
With Trip Lee
We don't want you checking for us,
We want you checking for our God
Check for our God (let's get it)
People want to know about the sole devout God who got us rolling out a carpet for him
Who'd take a doulas and make him a friend
They wanna know if and when did you begin, if you're Him
Who's mad infinite, then you would be the Infinite's son
This would mean that you're God, this would mean you're in charge
Cause only he was involved in what precedes Genesis 1
Why‘d you come to the Earth when you're not, part of the Earth
And you got ultimate worth and you plopped into a mess
Why die for a people who got a passion for evil
Why let them lash you and beat you when you supplied them their breath
I think the Saviour would say you're right,
When you say the Creator is the only way that you straight up precede Genesis 1
We know the Father and Holy Spirit both did it but John 1
Said along with the Father and Spirit, it was the Son
He came to the Earth with no stops, entered the Earth with no pops
Lived on the Earth with no props, He's written the story
He died for a block, cause He's a God that is not
Gonna be clowned or be mocked, trust me He's getting that glory
So now we're kicking the truth, in the booth
We like to spit cause it's few people who through the Spirit really wanna get with y'all
Who forsake money and places that's sunny and stages with honeys
Just to rep the living God you should be checking for
Hey I be reppin for Him, I drop the message for Him
I only wanna give you things that get you checking for Him
I want you checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God (Come on)
I could rap about my gear
Rap about what I could steer
But I'd rather rap about the God that died to get you near
I want you checking for my God (hey)
Checking my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God
People wanna know about my God and His forgiveness
Cats is holding at Him hoping I can get a witness
Cats is off their rockers, They knock us, we not tripping
When man's demanding answers, bro we find them in the Scriptures
(Listen up) I know they told you that God ain't really s'pose to
Punish anybody cause He loves them and they're close bra
But He knows, even if you hate Him, He would hold ya
I think it's time we seen Him better like a close up
He does love us man but it seems we broke up
Sin brings a gap and it has to get closed up (For real)
He can't just let us off the hook man he shows us
His forgiveness is tied to Him who died and rose up (Christ)
His love is so great, He gave the Son to save us
A free gift offered if you come and trust the One who changed us
We ambassadors who rep Him so you get to know Him
Here bro I know this'll get you open and checking for Him
Hey I be reppin for Him, I drop the message for Him
I only wanna give you things that get you checking for Him
I want you checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God (Come on)
I could rap about my gear
Rap about what I could steer
But I'd rather rap about the God that died to get you near
I want you checking my God (hey)
Checking my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God
People want to know about our God and His mercy
Like don't He see us hurting and how messed up the Earth be?
I know that people in church be like "Praise Him, He's so worthy"
But how can He condemn folks who ain't heard Him in the first place
I'm sure that many people feel like they deserve life
But it's death that we deserving cause we've all rejected Christ
The world's full of murder, got ya lies, got ya hate
It's a wonder God ain't take the world and crush it into flakes
Man it's mercy God's showing when a man's in a cell
Doing 25 to life but he'll never go to hell
Cause he gave his life to Jesus when we know that he deserved
To spend forever distant from the God who made the Earth man
Mercy's when a person don't get what they should
Like I should've got death but instead I got it good
So if you thinking God's wrong cause He's perfect and He's just
Just remember that we all should be crushed
You checking for Him?
Hey I be reppin for Him, I drop the message for Him
I only wanna give you things that get you checking for Him
I want you checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God (Come on)
I could rap about my gear
Rap about what I could steer
But I'd rather rap about the God that died to get you near
I want you checking my God (hey)
Checking my God (hey)
Checking for my God (hey)
I want you checking for my God
Crazy, We don't want you checking for us
We want you checking for Him
The one that made you
And the one that can save you
Jesus, Jesus the Christ
From East to West
Up top to the dirty
Check for our God
The lyrics of Checkin' for My God by The Ambassador Feat. Lecrae & Trip Lee is a powerful message about their desire for people to focus more on God than themselves. The song begins with the artists describing the greatness of God, and why people should seek Him. The theme then shifts to how the artists themselves are trying to represent God through their music, as they want people to know and love Him. The song then details some of the struggles that people have in understanding and accepting God, but ultimately ends with a plea for people to "Check for our God" and seek Him above all else.
The message of this song is one that resonates with many Christians who believe that their mission is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. The song encourages listeners to turn to God for answers and to seek Him with all their hearts. It is a call to action, challenging people to focus on their relationship with God and prioritize it over everything else.

Make way for the King: Lord Jesus, the ruler, Lion of Judah
Let us make way for our King, Jesus Christ, who is our ruler and the Lion of Judah

Jesus transforms us from slaves to friends
They wanna know if and when did you begin, if you're Him
People wonder about the origins of Jesus and if He truly is the Messiah
Who's mad infinite, then you would be the Infinite's son
If Jesus is infinite, then He must be the Son of God
This would mean that you're God, this would mean you're in charge
If Jesus is God, then He is in control of all things
Cause only he was involved in what precedes Genesis 1
Only God was present in the beginning before creation
Why‘d you come to the Earth when you're not, part of the Earth
Why did Jesus come to Earth when He is not of this world?
And you got ultimate worth and you plopped into a mess
Despite His infinite worth, Jesus came to Earth, which is a broken and sinful mess
Why die for a people who got a passion for evil
Why did Jesus die for people who love evil and reject Him?
Why let them lash you and beat you when you supplied them their breath

I think the Saviour would say you're right,
Jesus would agree with the questions people have about His nature and purpose
When you say the Creator is the only way that you straight up precede Genesis 1
The only way to understand the Creator is to recognize that He existed before everything was created
We know the Father and Holy Spirit both did it but John 1

Said along with the Father and Spirit, it was the Son
John 1 specifically mentions that Jesus, the Son, was also involved in creation
He came to the Earth with no stops, entered the Earth with no pops
Jesus came to Earth without fanfare or an earthly father
Lived on the Earth with no props, He's written the story
Jesus lived a humble life on Earth and has scripturally documented His story
He died for a block, cause He's a God that is not
Jesus died for all people, not just a specific group, because He is a God for all people
Gonna be clowned or be mocked, trust me He's getting that glory
Despite being mocked and ridiculed, Jesus is receiving glory for His selfless act of dying for humanity
We like to spit cause it's few people who through the Spirit really wanna get with y'all
We like to rap because there are only a few people who genuinely want to hear about God's truth

Cats is off their rockers, They knock us, we not tripping
People who reject God often criticize believers, but we are not discouraged
When man's demanding answers, bro we find them in the Scriptures
When people have questions, we turn to the Bible for answers
But He knows, even if you hate Him, He would hold ya
God loves us even if we hate Him and desires to have a relationship with us
I'm sure that many people feel like they deserve life
Many people believe they deserve eternal life, but we really deserve death because of our sin
But it's death that we deserving cause we've all rejected Christ
Because we have rejected Jesus, we deserve eternal death and separation from God
Mercy's when a person don't get what they should
Mercy is when we do not receive the punishment we deserve
Like I should've got death but instead I got it good
We deserve death for our sins, but God has shown us mercy through Jesus Christ
Just remember that we all should be crushed
We all deserve punishment for our sin, but Jesus took our place to offer us forgiveness and mercy
The one that made you
God created us
And the one that can save you
Jesus Christ is the only one who can save us from our sin and its consequences
Jesus, Jesus the Christ
Jesus is the Messiah, the one who saves
Check for our God
We encourage you to seek after God and give Him the reverence and honor that He deserves

Why die for a people
Who got a passion for evil
Why let them lash You and beat You
When you supplied them their breath
