lecrae - tha church lyrics

[intro]
ladies and gentlemen
i’d like to interrupt this alb-m
with a little bit of real talk
we bout to represent the priesthood of believers
it’s your boy sho biz and lecrae
yo let’s do this dawg

[verse 1: sho baraka]
it goes one for the father, two for the son
three for the spirit through whom work is done
before he cracks the sky and our feet leave the dirt
let’s go ahead and represent tha church
wake up in the morning, and i hit my knees early
face to the floor, thinking i’m not worthy
i’ll do that luke 9 thing, gotta bear my cross
team up with lecrae, we gotta reach the lost
i’m getting pounds from the church saying, sho you’ve grown
but don’t get too proud, cause sho is pr-ne
to lie and conceit while the spirit lies in defeat
gotta beat the flesh daily, cause dawg gotta eat
cause god’s wrath is something we all gotta meet
it don’t matter if you black, white, jew or greek
the only way to avoid the doom and despair is if
god asks christ is he with you and he say (yeah)
but on the contreezy my neezy it may sound easy
but this living it out thing is hard, word to god
(it’s tha church baby) not pews and steeples
but those who shun evil, those acts 2 people
not talking bout church mothers in funny hats
but in the streets, even in the alley schooling cats
quoting many facts, death, burial, resurrection
get to know his atonement, he’s coming back
forget 5 mics, i want 5 saved souls
with self-control, taking the gospel across the globe
(say word sho) that’s word to the deacon, the pastor
the building fund, and the choir’s singing
that’s real talk, we do it all in his name
so how bout it, let’s be a church without blame
a church without vain, a church without shame
ayo but who murdered christ?
in that we take claim

[verse 2: lecrae]
it goes one for the father, two for the son
three for the spirit through whom work is done
before christ come back to reign on earth
let’s go ahead and represent tha church
i pick up the phone, it’s sho, talking bout it’s a show
i’m like, i can’t go cause my dough on low
but at a, quarter to four i got a knock at the door
he got my ticket in his hands like you ready to roll?
i’m like (yeah), it’s so good to my system mayne
it feel good to be a christian mayne
we got the same spirit working within us
we get excited when we think about the lord
coming back to get us
and what’s, mine is yours, i know what’s yours is mine
food, money, time or sixteen bars of rhyme
it’s like acts 4:32, yeah crae dirty too
but tha church keep crae from looking like a worldly dude
and i ain’t talking bout the buildings and bricks
i’m talking bout the men and women who be getting strict
it’s tha church

[verse 3: sho baraka & lecrae]
i was your everyday sinner, up in the club
sipping on (huh?) smoking on (what?)
straight from the suburbs but faking like a thug
don’t mean to glorify it, it just is what it was
yeah you know me too, i was the same dude hustling
the same one that clubbed for fun and loved l-sting em
the same little thief off of scott street, ya watched me
probably hoped the cops would come and box me
till the gospel offended me, gave me an identity
a man with a hole, losing grip of his soul
i was introduced to the scriptures and him who died
i never saw a man cry, till he met christ
for me in ’98 christ became more than a name
conviction hit my frame, my heart was changed
like somebody hit the light switch inside of my brain
and when i hit my knees to pray, it wasn’t in vain
i’ve been doing a lot of thinking and i had to invest
in my soul, and all i had to do was say yes
and ever since then i’ve been eternally secure
and placed in tha church all glory to the lord

[hook]
we love the lord for
what he is, what he was
we praise him because
what he did, what he does
he gave his life ya’ll
and he did it for us
and why he do it ya’ll
and he did it because
we’re tha church
we love the lord for
what he is, what he was
we praise him because
what he did, what he does
he gave his life ya’ll
and he did it for us
and why he do it ya’ll
and he did it because
we’re tha church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
it’s the church baby
we the church
