[Verse: 1]
Heavy…Heavy…Heavy is the burden, so I gotta write this
To break the silence, I had to fight this: “Aw, here we go, man, they ain’t gonna like this”
What’s really going on? I gotta wonder, man
Am I the only one? I don’t understand
Cause the game ain’t the same when the fame and acclaim
Make ashamed to proclaim the Son of Man
We got record sales, videos and wardrobes
Twitter followers, movie deals, award shows
Older tears mixed with joys of the newer brethren
For more insight, turn to Ezra 2:11
I gotta question that’s sure to hit you
How do you know if the Lord is with you?
How do you know if the Lord has left you?
Can’t tell it by if you’re more successful
The book of Judges chapter 16
The 20th verse, something was missing
Today, who’s Samson, who’s the Philistines?
Anybody else see the guillotine?

[Chorus]
Christian Hip-hop got me feeling brokenhearted
We’re such a long way off, man, from where we started
We think we’re winning, but Satan got us outsmarted
I wonder if the glory of God has departed
Lord, help us! Before You choose a different squad
We need to repent, or else we might get the rod
I can’t call it- It seems like we’re sick of God
What you call that, huh? Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
[Verse: 2]
The book of Hebrews 2:1- CHH really gotta heed this today
We gotta pay close attention to what we heard from the Word-
Otherwise we gonna drift away
I think we're seeing that, look at the content
A lot of self-glory, a lot of nonsense
Now we drool for the music of fools
Got a new set of rules, are we losing our conscience?
We got publicists, platforms and more shows
What’s the difference between the “mainstream” and “broad road”?
Do we wanna glorify the Lord any more?
For more insight, turn to 1 Samuel 4
Whatever happened to prayer and fasting?
Seeking God’s face, not about just rapping
Could it be the devil has found us napping?
Are we now happy that crowds are clapping?
We exist for the glory of Jesus
Man, we better recognize- God don’t need us
He can raise rocks up to tell His story
With or without us, He’ll get His glory!

[Chorus]
Christian Hip-hop got me feeling broken hearted
We’re such a long way off, man, from where we started
We think we’re winning, but Satan got us outsmarted
I wonder if the glory of God has departed
Lord, help us! Before You choose a different squad
We need to repent, or else we might get the rod
I can’t call it. It seems like we’re sick of God
What you call that, huh? Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
It’s called Ichabod, It’s called Ichabod
What you call that, huh? It’s called Ichabod
“The art form you’re doing here- What is it known for in the world? It is known for sin and immorality. It is known to be vile and to cause destruction. But yesterday and today, I saw the same thing happen to a music form that has happened to my life. God has taken it, cleaned it off, made it new, and filled it with life. But let me give you a warning that’s very important. As a preacher, I know this: whenever eloquence is more important than the words spoken, there is no power. And whenever a music medium becomes more important than the truth it seeks to communicate, it’s useless.” Paul Washer to CHH artists at Legacy Conference 2007
