Misconception - Lecrae, Propaganda, Beautiful Eulogy

Misconception

Misconception

Misconception

I’ll leave your brain stimulated

Slang came from a land were they suffer from the effects of depravity

Like gang-banging 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

Peddling redemption, boy, what more can I say?

Make me and Lecrae been trying to make Him famous since nine-tre

Filling these 58′s with phrases that would deem us

Unfit to succeed 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 handing out cancer

That’s why fame was never the aim

And the back is the front

Homie, left side up, that’s a concept

Misconception

Tho-those deadly habits have me losing my cool…

It’s what your frame of mind has chosen

I-I-I'll leave your brain stimulated…

So many misconceptions

Missing the mark, misdirected

Driving reckless and aggressive

Fueled by our false perceptions

Our methods need corrections

Spitting venom in their face

And violate the ones we should protect as an attempt to motivate

Neglect our obligations, place the blame on someone else

Point out the flaws in other people and take the focus off ourselves

Those who have been abused view leadership as illegitimate

So they don’t think it’s necessary to play by the rules, or submit

They see authority as nothing more than a power trip

And they don’t want to be plugged in to it

They’d rather see that power stripped, get it?

Power strip

It’s unfortunate, disproportionate

The door is wide open for false teachers to twist the truth and distort it

No examples left to follow, left to our demise

Acting foolish, but can’t see it, so we’re wise in our own eyes

The life and crucifixion of Christ is a beautiful depiction

Of service and submission within a leadership position

I-I-I'll leave your brain stimulated…

You probably have it all figured out, right?

Like, you’re the type that believes that, if you act right

Then, that just might make you righteous in God’s sight

You’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 good

I 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 your neighbor

You try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to anger

You really believe that you could receive God’s favor by your good deeds and

right behavior

But you’re dead in your transgressions and need a savior

Cause you could never win God’s approval

Of the removal of sinful discretions, your righteous acts in removing God’s

wrath is, in fact, the biggest misconception

Misconception

Tho-those deadly habits have me losing my cool…

It’s what your frame of mind has chosen

I-I-I'll leave your brain stimulated…

Since my conception, I’ve been riddled with deception

Televised lies devised to lead a blind insurrection

Against the resurrection

And the greatest misconception

The world believes the Christian is foolish without direction

And they knock it to knock it

But what does it profit, a prophet to be socially ostracized?

And no, we ain’t stopping the mocking

But if there is anything I can do to raise the stock in the market

For a Biblical worldview, then there’s no longer an option

Here with the Humble Beast, ain’t no subtleties, ain’t no tongue-in-cheek,

this is what I mean

They don’t understand anything about the faith I believe, and they want to

belittle me

But it’s cool though, they just want the pseudo

The fake faith, the false one

The western God that’s man made and not the Biblical Awesome

Toss '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

Misconception

Tho-those deadly habits have me losing my cool…

It’s what your frame of mind has chosen
