Lecrae - Wish It Wasn't True Lyrics






Uhh, you I, umm,
I know I just got out of rehab, but uh,
I actually need to be checked back in. Yeah.
I didn't think this was gonna happen to me... man...

Feel like I'm back in that dark place
Somewhere in between a rock and a hard place
And I ain't doin nothin' bad, I'm just doin' bad
Feelin' empty when I got more than I done ever had
So I'ma do what I do best when I feel depressed
Go ahead and let my pen bleed out the stress
In the margins, me and wifey arguin'
I don't remember why, but basically I ain't washin' her in Ephesians 5
She get out of line, I don't show her grace
I get a pen and I trace her
Now we need an eraser

I'm like, God, give me a sermon or a verse
Anything to break the curse; I feel like it's getting worse
But it's like for every step up in the right direction
Come with two swift punches to my midsection
I get discouraged and I question is it really worth it
Maybe tryin' to change the world isn't really my purpose

I wish it wasn't true
But it is, though
Now the kids know
I'm not a hero, but I know somebody who is, though
I wish it wasn't true
But it's very true
And if it's scaring you
Look in the mirror, see my reflection instead of you

I can settle and be suburban, put down the Spurgeon
Be concerned with keepin' my home furnished
Now my fire burns only for my own advancement
Forget a passion for the pastors in Sudan
The kids in Afghanistan, who be losin' their dads
They took a stand, saying that Christ is more than a man
Man, I got the blues
I ain't got a clue how to get 'em another hue

All I wanna do is escape with a cold brew
Go to sleep and wake up and pretend that it's all cool
I wish it wasn't true
But ain't no quick fix on the wish list
Trials make you better while they make you sick, yeah
I was dyin' to try
Now I'm dying from trying
Now I'm trying to die
To the lies I'm buying

I wish it wasn't true
But it is, though
Now the kids know
I'm not a hero, but I know somebody who is, though
I wish it wasn't true
But it's very true
And if it's scaring you
Look in the mirror, see my reflection instead of you

How come I wait till I'm downcast and gray
Before I think, Lecrae, you may wanna pray
You may wanna walk in that library
Get one of them commentaries
See what them old dudes got to say
But it's easy to push play on the YouTube video or the Vimeo
Escape from the menial, letting all these subliminal messages
Wash me, watch me as I watch these
People tell me what I can purchase just to wash these
Blues away, functional savior, I'm getting mine
It's $19.99 for a limited time
Besides, after that I'm sure that I'll be feeling fine
- Ok, I'm lying. Really I'm just dying to try.
And for the 55th time times 9
I'm disappointed looking for anything but the divine
Save me from what I'm feelin' inside, it's like a crime
How I end up in the same place every single time

(check me in)

    I dig this song for days.

  10. V.... B....

    leave lecrae alone!!!

  11. r.... d....

    it is 3 r's lecrae even talks about it in a interview

  12. t.... ....

    U are right Proda god is greater than that for sure! Stay blessed

  13. P.... -....

    That's like asking why you have a cross in your profile picture man, we can't keep freaking about symbols, isn't our God so much bigger? God bless

  14. P.... -....

    That's like asking why my profile pic is the way it is, or why your name is the way it is. We always come up with ways to make things different, plus that symbol also stands for the Holy Trinity, you know, Father, son and spirit. If we live believing everything is bad, what life are we living? As Christians us speaking like that, in a way, shows that most of us don't stand firm in God if we're offended by a little symbol anyways. God bless brother, hope that helps!

  15. j.... m....

    its for the triangle The Father, the son and the holy ghost 3 in one! learn that and your bible before you judge some one plz!

  16. j.... r....

    Why does everybody judge and others back up lecrae? Were all supposed to be christians if we were all focusing on winning souls for Jesus we wouldnt be arguin bout nonsense. Give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser. There's always two sides to the coin

  17. M.... J....

    truely his name is worth dan any thing in this world!

  18. A.... S....

    Dude ... I'm not even a Christian ... And I can tell Lecrae is Legit in his faith. Don't hate on him man, I look up to this dude.

    A.... S....

    Andrew Stinnett convert to Christianity

  19. s.... ....

    lecrae's symbol is three R's not 6's the 666 in the circle is still 666 not R's

  20. L.... G....

    omg shut up, God is bigger than a stupid symbol.

  21. D.... W....

    Rebel. Real Talk. Rehab.

  22. t.... ....

    And why even put symbols on the cover anyway.. Just put your name.. that's all.. what are is the purpose of having a symbol on it?

  23. t.... ....

    they do not pay attention but the symbols implant into your brain... it is not that you ignore it that is the point.. they try to hide there plans but God see's everything... they try to turn it upside down.. but God see is ALL!!! #LPRF

  24. t.... ....

    hmmmmm. wonder why he chose to use that.. make you think Satan has taken over the music industry completely on every level.. we just need to trust in God and do not trust in Man... God will lead you and direct you in the right directions...Jesus Christ is the only way!!!! Through him, with Him and In him will we only get to the Father!!! #LPRF

    t.... ....

    tc1messenger it's 3 Rs

  25. G.... B....

    amen speak that

  26. D.... ....

    Well satan likes to use people to get to us who Jesus saved. Don't look up 666 because theres tons of demonic symbols and it lets demons in. It hurts my heart just to see demonic symbols... But BYE BYE demons because He that is in me is GREATER than he that is in the world :D Praise Jesus :)

  27. S.... ....

    If that would ever mean anything that only means that someone somewhere used that logo on a page on the world wide web and on the same page he wrote 666 or something related... so yeah, pretty spooky

  28. B.... L....

    Grace Brothers and sisters. don't fall under the law. Lecrae I can't wait to see you @ Forward!!!

  29. A.... S....

    wow see how the truth has got so distorted. This was used for records back in the day if I recall correctly. 48" you needed an adapter to play the smaller record and this was put under neath the record to race it up. Please wake up and realize Christ is the way the truth and the life and no person come unto the father but through him. He is the cornerstone, The Narrow path that leads to life

  30. R.... ....

    nobody pays attention to the symbols anymore, homie its the lyrics!

  31. p.... t....

    I pray for you, God always loves you, so return to Him!

  32. s.... ....

    i looked it up and nope did not see the match! stop making up lies! those are R's btw not 6;s

  33. M.... D....

    Even tho ppl say his logo is "666" when we all know its not Lecrae still has to be careful of wat he do an put on his records. The most innocent ppl will get judge so fast but yea he should be careful I LOVE HIM THO keep up the gud work CREEZY =P GOD BLESS U

  34. A.... P....

    Why Are You Even Looking That Up?

  35. b.... w....

    why would he waste his time repping god if he wasnt what he says he is.. its not 666 hes been through so much as a child of god and now hes learned and wants to spread the greatest word ever, #lecrae4eva

  36. A.... G....

    ooopppssss sorry

  37. N.... N....

    He didn't upload the video.. I did.

  38. A.... G....

    if u hate him wy did u even upload the video?

  39. 7.... ....

    There is no such thing as "rededication" for a Christian. You are a bond-slave to Christ at salvation and that continues until you are pulled out of this earth and into eternal glory. Your rededication is better described as God pulling you out of your sinful lifestyle and placing you back in His grace to continue that walk down the narrow road that you tried leaving for the broad. God have mercy and grace on His bride.

  40. R.... P....

    I would not be a Christian Right now if Lecrae wasnt rapping ,so i dont care what anyone says....To me Lecrae is what he says he is and will always be one of the top Christian rappers

  41. S.... ....

    cool, but we should follow god not people

  42. A.... G....

    Yea!!! Lecrae!!!

  43. C.... L....

    What the enemy meant for evil GOD will use for his glory.

  44. S.... W....

    he says functional

  45. I.... ....

    go on google and look up trinity. it is actually an edited version of that

  46. N.... N....

    No... It's not the truth... You can make what you want out of Lecrae's logo, but it's clearly 3 R's. You are twisting the truth, just as the Bible says Satan does. So I'm praying for YOU that you would not be led by the devil.

  47. N.... N....

    Also, I searched that on Google... And it's not there, so you are definitely not telling the truth.

  48. N.... N....

    Cool story bro.. That doesn't mean that's what the logo is. That means that someone out there is apparently dyslexic (you) and reads 6's backwards. It's three R's. For rehab. Quit being so naive.

  49. N.... N....

    Dude, what's he saying? Be specific. Also, quit trolling... This "666" thing is getting old. If you don't like Lecrae, then you don't like Lecrae. But don't come on to my video and say he's "not Christian"... Because it's simply not true.

  50. A.... G....

    hey and i met lecrea in real life when he was in orlando but hey guys look up a video called dragon ball fights ok its a good video then look up dragon ball what ive done music video they are both created by wes taylor which is me ok................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. A.... G....

    you know lecrea changed my life and he said on a show called 700 club and he said he was a thief and a robber and then a cop caught him doing stuff breaking in a house then right when he was going to arrest him thats when the cop found a bible in lecreas car and the cop said you need to read this bible son it will change your life and lecrea changed my life and i am just proud of lecrea hes been all of ours hero right!!..?? and my name was suppossed to be lecreafollower but my computer messed up

  52. p.... ....

    one of my fav songs

  53. l.... �....

    Why would he pay u? For that reason? At all?

  54. N.... N....

    Nope, it's not suspicious... Find out its real meaning before you go spewing off random stuff. It's annoying that people can't just accept the fact that Lecrae has NOTHING to do with the Illuminati. The R's represent rehab, and the number (3) represents the trinity.

  55. G.... R....

    that logo seems suspicious it's like what my aunt said that there can be some christian musicians that are actually part of the illuminatii the worlds worst wouldnt u comment readers agree

    G.... R....

    Well your aunt is wrong lecrae is not illuminati

  56. Y.... B....

    Soo true!

  57. s.... b....

    if he was for the hits he would throw a bunch of cuss words in like lil wayne

  58. m.... ....

    "I was dyin' to try it, now I'm dyin' from tryin', now I'm tryin' to die to the lies I buy... " - I am so there right now.

  59. R.... M....

    I thought that was a myth...

  60. s.... ....

    hes illluminati now smh

    s.... ....

    shadowboyzENT no he isn't you are

  61. A.... G....

    he brought christ into my heart the very first time i heard him sing on a cd at a skate park and i thankyou for him being alive. and also me name is not wes its christainkid13

  62. T.... N....

    make's me cry evrytime i listen it i see so much of myself in his tracks...

  63. r.... ....

    Psalm 100

    Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

    Lacrae is making a joyful noise!
    We're in the last days...what's he supposed to sound like Shirley Cesar? Shirley's music can't reach these young folks. LaCrae's music is much needed in the ghetto.

  64. D.... S....

    You should check out Jayreed4jesus too. He makes some real music too.

  65. D.... S....

    Please check out Jayreed4jesus on youtube. I think you will like him. Another upcoming hot artist doing it for Christ.

  66. T.... L....

    What do the three R's mean?

  67. p.... ....

    BOOM spit truth!

  68. 2.... ....

    There is no lukewarm. Lecrae wouldn't be doin' right if he were on a "middle ground". As the bible says...
    “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
    - Revelation 3:15-16
    His music would be nothing... besides, fame ain't what he's after...

  69. C.... J....

    Real music...

  70. N.... N....

    @MistuhrSoku It's three R's. The number represents the trinity, yes.

  71. N.... N....

    @bronxmon meet the man in person he changed my life he calls himself the messenger hes not out to cash in on the hype hes preaching about what god has done for him and will do for us the fact that you made a comment like that for a consulting fee is lame

  72. M.... C....

    It's not the song's melody or style that makes it demonic or evil.How can one kind of style be Christian and be good when the other is bad? It's because we made it evil. There's nothing evil about rap. It's just the contents in the lyrics that determines if it's wrong or not.

  73. E.... S....

    haha

  74. A.... L....

    @cdog2249 Ey dawg dont try to not hang out with your non-christian friends show em' the way bro:] Ill be prayin' for you and god bless!

  75. F.... I....

    @WIldFire979 Sure !

  76. F.... I....

    @WIldFire979 Thats not a very good Christian attitude and i think you misunderstood what @nilladiscgolfer said !

  77. i.... g....

    Listen to this song and think of God and his bigness and power and how you cannot hide from him and his great love and how the spiritual battle is REAL

  78. c.... ....

    Thx Lecrae I rededicated my life at your concert in Tulsa OK 2/17/12 im struggling a little i deleted all my none christian music talkin about sex money and drugs i need to stop hanging out with my non-christian friends so im not tempted please anybody reading this if you could pray for me that would be awsome

    Thank you

    c.... ....

    I'm praying for you.

  79. T.... A....

    @bronxmon Lecrae is legit #enuffsaid

  80. s.... ....

    @bronxmon like what nilladiscgolfer wrote, lecrae made #1 on itunes for american hip hop, and he is not doing it for the hits! he is doing it for the glory of God, if he wanted to make money, i bet your bottom dollar he'd be a battle rapper today, but thats not his wish! i hope he never goes even close to secular!
    lecrae is also on my #1 list!

  81. N.... N....

    @WIldFire979 Dude, I don't know what you're talking about.. I said Lecrae wasn't in this industry to get hits. I didn't say he didn't have them. I said he's in this industry to spread the word of God. Sorry you got what I said confused, but I never said I could do anything that God couldn't either. Read what I said again. I wasn't dissing Lecrae. If I was, I wouldn't be posting all of his music.

  82. J.... ....

    Best song off the album!

  83. F.... I....

    @bronxmon It is better to win Soles, than to get all that 'money' and loose your sole with it..Lecrae is doing well for himself,, !

  84. F.... ....

    @bronxmon I understand what you are trying to say. But you never know who God is using to reach others. You never know WHAT God will use to reach someone else. If God wants to use Rap to bring people to him, then that's his decision. I'm not being rude. Im just saying...that you never know who God is using. This is why I NEVER dissed christian Rap. I'm not saying you have to love it or listen, but don't diss it because you never know what the Lord is trying to do. God works in mysterious ways :)

  85. m.... s....

    speak the truth! God Bless ya bro!

  86. N.... N....

    @bronxmon Again, he's not in it for the "hits after hits". He wants his music to be heard only to spread the word of Christ. Around 130,000 units of Rehab have sold in the U.S. alone.

  87. N.... N....

    @bronxmon First of all, let me say that Lecrae is NOT in this industry to make hits or to make money. In fact, he makes music in order that he might lead others to Christ. Secondly, his past couple albums have debuted number one on iTunes hip hop charts.. Stats for Rehab ---
    U.S. Billboard 200 - 17
    U.S. Billboard Top Gospel Albums - 1
    U.S. Billboard Top Christian Albums - 1
    U.S. Billboard Top Independent Albums - 1
    U.S. Billboard Top Digital Albums - 6
    U.S. Billboard Top Rap Albums - 5

  88. b.... ....

    I'll tell you what is wrong with christian rap, It's on a wrong platform. its hard to watch comedy on fox news. or a rock and roll video on BET. Tell Lecrea hit me up, for a small consulting fee I can show him the path to hits after hits. Again secular and non secular don't mix, but there is a middle ground.

  89. S.... C....

    Thanks for helping me getting through a hard time - Jay

  90. k.... ....

    I relate with dat first line! dopest song!

  91. R.... ....

    Lecrae is that dude, BET Cypher spittin that good ish. for the people! for Christ! 1 way suckas 1 way!

  92. T.... G....

    daaaaaaaaang! @Lecrae do yo' thang homie...NO, do God's thang

  93. n.... ....

    i likes!

  94. r.... ....

    One of the best songs I've heard in while..

  95. w.... ....

    Probably played this song 50 times in a row, no joke. Like if you at least repeated this song once. (:

    God Bless you Lecrae. You're changing thousands of lives through your music. <3

  96. D.... C....

    To the world I'm fool but i believe the world is a fool!
