[Album Intro: Canon and Lecrae]
|
[Lecrae:] Hey yo Canon man
|
[Canon:] What's up homie?
|
[Lecrae:] You know, what I kinda realized is that: everybody wanna put me in a box
|
[Canon:] Nah
|
[Lecrae:] They trying to figure out what category I belong in man
|
[Canon:] There ain't no category for this
|
[Lecrae:] So I figure, let me help them out a little bit
|
[Canon:] I think it's about that time
|
|
[Intro: Lecrae]
|
I am so authentic, I am so off in it
|
They try to figure me out, but this is not a gimmick
|
Hi Hip Hop. Don't act like you don't know me
|
We got the same momma. Don't you try to disown me
|
|
I am so authentic, I am so off in it
|
They try to figure me out, but this is not a gimmick
|
Hi Hip Hop. Don't act like you don't know me
|
We got the same momma. Don't you try to disown me
|
|
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
|
I'm just a mixed breed, call me a day walker
|
Cause I walk in the sun but at night I'm a stalker
|
If you're looking for blood, come run in my lane
|
The vein never runs dry, there is plenty of it mayne
|
I speak an ancient language, they don't understand me
|
It's called the truth, I break it down, they try to reprimand me
|
As long as she spoke it, they try to revoke her
|
They drove her crazy like Morgan Freeman did to Miss Daisy
|
I am not insane, product of the culture
|
I'm what happens when Outkast meets the writings of Moses
|
The views are opposing, but they correlate
|
And me and Christ don't match, but we coordinate
|
If Wu-Tang can spit five percent gems
|
I can talk about Him who died for my sins
|
I'm not a gospel rapper, not a holy roller
|
I'm just a product of grace, spreading hope to the hopeless
|
|
[Interlude: Canon]
|
See, they trying to put me in the box my whole life. But you know, I stand tall. And it seems like that box is a little too small for me. Church clothes
|
|
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
|
Feels like I'm {bacbacbac ratatatat}, letting off that truth in here
|
That caged, untamed, strange man. Let it loose in here
|
You may attain your a sane man, put your brain in your main frame
|
But if you can't hang man, you can lose it here
|
And let's be clear, I don't want your approval
|
And I don't thirst for the worthless, my verses will prove it
|
All these empty executives, a lame pursuit
|
And you can tell they are just a shell from their vain pursuits
|
They say they love my music, boy they telling tales
|
They want me sign on a dotted line, but I'm not for sale
|
They want that Jay (I know), they want that Yeezy
|
They want that Lupe, they ain't hearing what you say
|
I beg they differ, I think they do
|
They're listening, cause it's different, and some of them are confused
|
So I'm leaving clues. I give directions
|
I hope they stop at the light before the intersection
|
|
[Outro: Canon]
|
The anticipation is over, here it is. Changing lives one by one. Another classic for you all to ride to. I go by Don Cannon, The One Man Army, back to back with the homie Lecrae
