No rappers are realer than Reach 116 ✊ pray for justice and fight for it. 🙏 #pedogate #V4CR

Kenan and kel?

No curse words

I feel the inspiration from this video but i cant hear all the words ...I need to see the lyrics so I can understand everything he sings

REAL CHRISTIAN LIFE

Ah so good~!!
Feel like a collab with BeWhy (korean rapper) would work so well too :o

Still 1of my favorite albums

"Freedom"
(feat. N'Dambi)

[Lecrae:]
They out here prostitutin' kiddos
Fill they pockets with dinero
Pedophiles, pitiful
Sell a child to centerfold
Take they innocence, put in on the internet
Purities tainted, dignities shaken
Enslavin' the soul of all of these babies
And freedom got a price nobody payin'
Makin' money, American dream ain't it, nah!
It's a nightmare, don't fight fair for white here
Benjamin Franklins, killin' we hate for him
Write a song justifyin' the lies we take for him, hold up
They ain't with me, I'm willin' to wait for 'em
Lil' me sat up on the porch, thinkin' dolla bills
Stomach filled from another meal that my momma killed still
I can't keep still
I'd probably steal to keep a couple of Nike checks on the back of my heels
Grab my back on and pills
I need a stack of them bills
They say we slaves to the money
I guess we back in the field
I'ma go pursue my happiness, they told me it was free
But I'm still payin' for it, I'm indebted to this thing
Heard a prophet say the profit, don't focus on makin' change
Just focus on tryna be it and maybe you'll make a gain
Maybe you'll free the slaves, maybe you'll bring a change
The destinations are different but everyone's on the train

[N'Dambi:]
Freedom isn't free
But I still, I still believe in my freedom
So my mind can see
Please let me be free, please let me
Freedom

[Lecrae:]
I'm out here chasin' this freedom
They out here choppin' my feet off
And if they catch me I'm Toby, but I ain't 'bout to believe it
King Kunta, king of coonin', or Kenan & Kel
Rather rot in a jail cell than be up in hell, well
Well done, is you cookin' or is you hearin' your Father say, "Well done"?
Is He lookin' at all your honors?
Modestly I'll be honest, I'm hangin' onto that promise
Cause honestly I ain't really been everything that I oughta
Oughta be on my Harriet, bury me next to Honest Abe
Here's lies another man murdered for tryna free the slaves
I gave Chief Keef my number in New York this summer
I told him, "I could get you free", I'm on my Nat Turner
Back burner, cookin' up a fat burger
While we shuck and jive to a song about a crack murder
Know we need a change but we threw it on the stage
Got some money and a soul and neither one of us saved
Slaves, get free

[N'Dambi:]
Freedom, it isn't free
But I still believe, I still believe in our freedom
So my mind can see
Please let me be free, please let me be free
Freedom

Freedom, freedom, freedom

Can someone do an instrumental with hook version of this song? It would be greatly appreciated

[Verse 1 - Lecrae]

Great Gospel rapper right there.

Lecrae: One thing. THIS IS THE JAM. Reminds me of anomaly album. Which i love. You need to make more music like Anomaly and Gravity. Those were the days of great Christian Hip Hop Rap. BRING IT BACK.
THIS SONG IS IT !!!

'Crae went in on this one

This gets better every time

who else got here from lostnunbound likes playlist

so many quotable bars

Cooking up a fat burger is my favorite line

✊✊✊

I may have no life but I can rap freedom

this is a great Christian inspirational song

love him

freedom it isn't free, but we are free from sin in Christ!!

This is why lecrae is my favorite

Kendrick Lamar reference

I noticed it too. I think they're close friends

Whoa.. Really Goin In, Especially The line About What He Was Told By A Prophet.. Be Blessed Cuz

that beat drop...

Never had heard of Lecrae until he was in Fort Benning GA with Daughtry glad I heard him he's telling his story about God in his style and I love it

muito bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we need freedom

gives new perspective on what martin Luther king Jr was fighting for. when Malcolm x was inspiring violence king Jr was fighting for peace and encouraged people to protest in peace. gives perspective on the people who died in peace because they refused to harm the folks who killed them. it was awful what happened to those people but they were strong in God I'm sure but can't say I don't know what God knows. if I know one thing though it was that king Jr was fighting for unity peace and truth to say all people are equal God doesn't favor whites over blacks. I know this because Gods dealings have never mentioned color as being a reason for any decision He made or what He died for.

Got that passion and energy of Hopsin. I digg it.

another great album. I can't believe Kanye West and Jay Z produced this.

Their names are on the label.

+Matthew Le Cocq S1 is on the label WHO produced FOR kanye

Ok. That makes since. And S1 produced for Jay Z too?

+Matthew Le Cocq ye

Good to hear. S1 is really good.

does he diss kendrick lamar in this song?

The beat almost made me pass out

Excellent things are as nice, as they are rare... Thanks Lecrae!!!!

favorite song on the album.

I love the concept esp the African vocals in it. indeed anomaly

the chorus reminds me on Lucky Ones a lil bit

"Got some money and soul and neither one of them saved". love that line.

s1 is a beast

Im liking these new songs

Stand strong brothers and sisters, the enemy getting nervous, Glory to the most high in Jesus mighty name.

awesome song from lectae the mixtape is dope and can't for his next album to come out with Tori kelly, and King los

+Jeremiah Hernandez WHERE YOU HERE THIS AT (Im utterly in love with Tori Kelly)

lecrae is the best christian rapper out there

Nat turner i'm cooking up a fat burger while we shuck and jive to a song about a crack murder man that is just wow you delivered again crae... so true

the destinations are different but everyone's on the train"

keep going

I like it

i hope the rap game starts considering gospel rappers..

I've been waiting for a while for a new album by Lecrae! I think this is his best song on the new album.

This is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 if listened to lecrae for a few years and if people would not only care about sex, drugs, etc he would be the greatest ever. He is changing people everywhere

I agree

I can't believe I finally get to see Lecrae in concert tomorrow! This album is beautiful

e, jesus,, a liberdade,, .. não so, para os nossos irmão, para todas, as criaturas, da terra,,, um son,, que une, varias, paradas, lacrae,, loucos,,

La canción y el cd completo esta super bueno pero, no estoy a favor de que Kanye West y Jay-z trabajen como productores.

Ellos no producieron el album. S1 es el productor. El ha producido para Kanye West y Jay Z y otros artistas

+Jonathan Santos. Muchas gracias Jonathan por la aclaración.
