Lecrae

While there’s no sure route to carving out a significant presence in the music industry, there’s always something to be said for remaining true to one’s self. Since arriving on the scene with his 2004 debut Real Talk, Lecrae has been occupying two different yet not entirely opposing worlds: the sacred and the profane. Which is to say that his art, not unlike his life, has been as much about inspiring the streets, and about justice, freedom, and interrogating real-world issues, as it is about his personal journey of faith. His music has long served as a call to arms for those willing to sacrifice for a cause beyond themselves. Still, he won’t be boxed in to any genre or made to serve as a poster-child for any particular agenda. Following a host of celebrated … more »

Yeah, I got a question
After the show, after the set,
After the music stops, what's next?
Are we just writing songs,
Or are we concerned with uniting a people,
To follow the great commission of Christ?
Yeah let's get it, let's go..

Back in the day I was a lunch line rapper,
After that I guess I was a punch line rapper,
Then I got saved and sometime after,
Ya boy came back as a frontline rapper.
And when I say the frontlines, that's not a frontline,
I'm out here preachin' Christ on the frontlines,
And no it ain't about rockin' stages,
'Cause some of my engagements are out on the pavements, yeah.
I'm out to take the bible, create disciples,
Who make disciples, disciple-cycles,
That's why I want the beats to knock
So after the music stops you can meet the rock,
I pray, that you would know him well,
This is like show and tell,
It's more than a show, I'm showing you Emmanuel,
So yeah I'm hopin' that you're likin' the flow,
But it's only so you could know that God I'm writing it for, let's go!

After the show, after the set,
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples,
Will you open your Bibles? After the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends,
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King?
Or will you just like the words we sing?
After the music stops.

I recorded a couple songs, some fast some slow,
So the listeners would know the importance of the show,
The importance of the show's not to excite these folks
But make God's Truth relevant, ignite these folks.
Discipleship is our call but we make disciples,
This is not a suggestion, create disciples.
The teachin' is a process, it's not over night
And it's not a stage and a mic nah, it's life on life Christ -
Walked with twelve, ate with twelve,
Talked with twelve, shaped the twelve,
Invested in 'em well you could say that he made the twelve.
Who made many more, who made plenty more,
Now it's on you and me if there's anymore.
1 teach, 2 teach, 3 teach, 4 teach, 5 teach, 6 teach,
7 teach more, this is what we've been commissioned,
It's the reason why I write,
So that you could hear the truth,
Not so you can say I'm tight, whoa!

After the show, after the set,
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples,
Will you open your Bibles? After the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends,
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King?
Or will you just like the words we sing?
After the music stops.

So, we write this for the right the speaker was righteous,
And then we might check for a culture who likes the hypeness.
Some say we keep it crunk, some say we hype man;
We just wanna pump the resurrection of the Christ man.
We in the -burbs and the hoods that's hostile,
We share a common view like synoptic Gospels
And you know we keep a couple young dudes around us
And teach 'em the same Truth God used to ground us.
This is a lifestyle so, when the mic's down,
I pray people follow Christ when they turn the lights down.
I pray that everybody playin' this song
Will be challenged by everything I had to say in this song.
I don't do this for the money, I don't do this for fame,
I don't do this so the industry can know my name,
I do this and host to glorify Yeshua the King,
If you're feelin' me,
You know you should be doin' the same, let's go!

After the show, after the set,
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples,
Will you open your Bibles? After the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends,
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King?
Or will you just like the words we sing?
After the music stops.
