Lecrae
Rebel
I’m in rebellion (repeat a few times)
To all my rebels out there, rebelling against the culture, being transformed
Do not be conformed to the ways of this world, to this age
Welcome to the revolution
Jesus was a rebel, renegade, outlaw, (something), troublemaker
But he never sinned naw
And he lived his life by a different set of rules
The culture ain’t approved
So you know they had to bruise him
That’s the way they do
Man they smell so gangsta
Everyone the same
Everybody do the same stuff
Tattoos, piercings, smoking up and drinking, money, sex
Plus them extravagant weekends
Man if that’s the high life I’ll puff puff pass that
You live evaporated like missing a gas cap
I guess I’m passed that
I’m in rebellion
I’d rather have a dollar in my pocket then a million in scandal
(don’t know what he says here)
I remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on
This is what I live for, this is what I’m buried on
Jesus is the truth that means one of us is very wrong
Think about it!

Chorus: I’m in rebellion (repeat)

Mark Driscoll: I know in our day, rebel means sinner, but everyone is sinning so its no longer rebellious to sin
Jesus was a rebel who was counter-cultural

Lecrae: No glory in me all glory is to the king on the throne
You either love him or you leave him alone
But you can’t do both
Yeah I know you heard that once in a song
I pray you hear ten more before you’re gone
Hey listen I’m on stages, corners, crowded streets
Yeah I rap the bread of life because they dying to eat
Hey I’m a rebel, you know the kind that die in the street
Cause you refuse something something won’t eat the king’s meat
Christ rebelled by shunning the culture
He ate with the sinners, gave the pharisees ulcers
He never got married, he was broke plus homeless
Yeah that’s the guy I roll with
Your boy got a wife, no I never cheat, I’m praying for humility
(can’t tell here)
Forget about the drugs, rebel against pornography
This ain’t how it oughta homey its how its gotta be. Rebel!
Chorus
Mark Driscoll: you’re just a conformist, if you’re drunk and naked
Driving around on a loud motorcycle
Smoking cigarettes, and breaking commandments
Getting pregnant out of wedlock
Everyone’s done that. That’s so tired!
If you really want to be a rebel read your bible, because no one’s doing that
That’s rebellion, that’s the only rebellion left
