Lecrae - Misconception Lyrics
[Featuring: Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas][Verse 1: Propaganda]Slang came from a land were they suffer from the effects of depravity like gang bangin' and earthquakes.Most famous no namers split a brain and plant a taste for the (King of kings?) I know it's a strange concept.Pedalin' redemption boy what more can I say make me and Le-crae been trying to make Him famous since nine (tray?)Fillin' these 58?s with phrases that would deem us unfit to suck seed among these heathens.It's so crucial in the belly of the crucible that you would understand that stage like your morning (candle?)It's handin' out cancer that's why fame was never the aim and the back is the front – homie left side up!That's a conceptMisconceptionThose deadly habits have me losin' my cool...It's what your frame of mind has chosen.I'll leave your brain stimulated...[Verse 2: Braille]So many mis... conceptions- missin' the mark- mis-directed- drivin' wreck- listen agressiveFueled by our false perceptions- our methods need corrections-Spittin venom in their face and violate the ones we should protect it's an attempt to motivateNeglect our obligations place the blame on someone else point out the flaws in other people and take the focus off ourselvesThose who have an abused – view leadership as illegitimate so they don't think it's necessary to play by the rules or submitThey see authority as nothin' more than a power-trip – they don't want to be plugged into itThey'd rather see that power stripped – get it? Power strip... It's unfortunateDisproportionate the door is wide open for false teachers to twist the truth and distort itNo examples left to follow left to automize actin' foolish but can't see it so we're wise in our own eyesThe life and crucifixion of Christ is a beautiful depiction of service and submission – within a leadership position[Verse 3: Odd Thomas]You probably have it all figured out, right? Like your the type that believes that if you act right then that just might make you righteous in God's sightYou've been a really good person, you followed the good book as much as you could, you probably didn't go to church as much as you should, but it's all goodI mean you never really killed anybody, never really steal from anybody, you never lusted much, or did much, touching of any bodies.You never use the Lord's name in vain, and you respect you neighbor, you try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to angerYou really believe that you could receive God's favor by your good deeds and right behaviorBut your dead in your transgressions and need a saviorCause you could never win God's approval with the removal of sinful discretions – your righteous acts of removing God's wrath is in fact the biggest misconception...[Verse 4: Lecrae]Since my conception iv'e been riddled with deceptionTelevised lies devised to lead a blind insurrectionAgainst the resurrection - and the greatest misconception the world believes the Christian is foolish without direction.And they knock it they knock it but what does it profit a prophet to be socially ostracizing no we (they?) ain't stoppin' the mockingBut if there is anything I can do to raise the stock in the market for a Biblical worldview then there's no longer an optionHere with the humble beast, ain't no subtleties, ain't no tongue cheek, this is what I mean, they don't understand anything about the faith I believe, and they want to belittle meBut it's cool though. They just know the pseudo, the fake faith, the false one, the western God that's man made, not the Biblical AwesomeToss em' – Pick up the Reasons for God by Timothy Keller and read it, there is a God you should believe in and his name is Jesus...
