Getuigenis rapper Lecrae en video's Rehab











[Intro/Chorus]
We are the children of the light
Royal rulers of the day
Takes no prisoners of the night
Cause we're the love we lead the way

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Yeah, I notice when people notice me
My exterior's the only way they know it's me
I'm full of holes and scars, my skins marked up
But qualified to light up a world of darkness.
I get a walk, a little walk in the sunlight
I look dirty but I'll be clean on the inside.
It's revolutionaries comin' out for fellas
And they can look at us strange
But there ain't nothin' that they can tell us cuz!

[Chorus]
We are the children of the light
Royal rulers of the day
Takes no prisoners of the night
Cause we're the love we lead the way

[Verse 2: Sonny]
Yeah, freedom rock this mic
To walk right, in a dark night lighted by the sun!
I'm so free that I can fly, while y'all can't even crawl,
It's your fall to freedom!

In my life I count the cards, I take loss accuse the treason,
And I can die for this cause, and you might just be the reason.
And in order to (if I must dial) denial itself,
And if you claim to be the way that means there ain't no one else.
I trust it (done) there ain't no room for discussion,
So if you just don't get it,
Then let the just come with it!
I know much more is required of all that I've been given,
But if y'all claim to be alive,
Then you gotta start livin', you know why!

[Chorus]
We are the children of the light
Royal rulers of the day
Takes no prisoners of the night
Cause we're the love we lead the way

[Verse 3: Dillavou]
(JAH!)
Yo, am I the only one, to take me out to babylon,
An' him create the right an' wrong,
An' him create the scriptin' sound,
And that's why we stand firm upon the rock of the salvation man.
And truly love the prospect, an' we hope to put out helmets on,
And that is why we build upon for each and every chosen one,

(J-Paul)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to
You're teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you

(Verse 1- Lecrae)
Yeah, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky,
Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly
I grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot,
I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure
You
stepped in at the right time,
It's 'cuz of you that I write rhymes
You probably never knew that
I loved the way you used to come through come through,
Teach me to do the things that men do
True,
You showed me stuff I probably shouldn't have seen,
But you rebelled and made it out your teens,
and took me under your wings
I wanted hats, I wanted clothes just like you,
Lean to the side when I rolled just like you
And care people didn't like you,
You wanna bang, I wanna bang too
Skyline,pyru
You would've died, I would've died too,
You went to prison, got sick, lost your pops,
Yeah,I cried too
You never know who's right behind you,
Gotta a little son now and he do whatever I do
But it's something deep inside you,
That tell it's gotta be more than doing what other guys do,
They had nobody there to guide you
But I followed your footsteps and this shouldn't surprise you,
You realize you, you, you
Yeah,

(Chorus)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to,
You're teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you

(Verse 2)
Now all I see is money, cars, jewels,
Stars
Womanizers, tough guys, guns, knives, and scars,
Drug pushers, thugs, strippers, fast girls, fast life
Everything I wanted and everything I could ask life
If this ain't living and they lied well,
guess I married an old wives' tale
Wow, fail
I don't know another way to go,
This is the only way they ever showed
I got this emptiness inside that got me fighting for approval because I missed out on my daddy saying, way to go,
And get that verbal affirmation on know how to treat a woman,
Know how to fix an engine,
That keep the car running
So now I'm looking at the media and following what they feed me,
Rap stars, trap stars,
Whoever wants to lead me
Even though they lie they still tell me that they love me,
They say I'm good at bad things at least they proud of me

(Chorus)
I just wanna be like you,
Walk like, talk like, even think like you
The only one I could look to
You're teaching me to be just like you
Well I just gotta be like,
I just gotta be like you
(Like you)

(Verse 3)
I was created by God but I ain't wanna be like Him,
I wanna be Him
The Jack Sparrow of my Caribbean
I remember the first created being,
And how he shifted the blame on his dame
On fruit he should't have eaten
And now look at us all out of Eden,
And now look at us all that are eating,
Wearing designer fig leaves by Louis Vuitton
Make believe it
But God sees through my foolish pride,
And I'm weak life Adam another victim of Lucifer's foolish lies
But then in steps Jesus,
All men were created to lead but we need somebody to lead us
More than a teacher,
But somebody who buy us back from the darkness,
Say He redeemed us,
Taught us that real leaders follow God,
Finish the work 'cuz we on our job
Taught us not to rob
But give life love a wife like He loved the Church,
Not seeing how many hearts we can break first
I wanna be like you in every way,
So if I gotta die everyday
Unworthy sacrifice
But the least I can do is give the most to me
Because being just like you is what I'm 'spose to be
You said you came for the lame,
I'm the lamest
I made a mess you say you'll erase it,
I'll take it
You said you came for the lame,
I'm the lamest
I broke my life, but you say you'll replace it,
I'll take it.

(I just gotta be like,....)
