[Intro/Chorus]
This is the chance, you need to jump back (jump back!)
We got the truth, you know you want that (want that!)
All the confusion, you can dump that (dump that!)
We reppin Jesus 'til he come back (come back!)

[Lecrae]
This life is it with no skins and thicks and no sense of blood trauma
We got Jesus when they feel' they think we drunkkk, dawg!
All o' because we be wildin and jumpin screamin now REPRESENT!
Get crunk, throw it up, what's up Jesus!
You know we reppin him! People called to chosen
but our hearts were frozen rollin with Satan mayne!
Tryin to trust in the lust in the flesh
and our eyes our pride was hatin mayne!
But our God is rich in mercy MERCY! Hreat in lovveeee!
We were dead in sin but Christ bled for sin
and that's why he raised us upppp!
Now our life looks bright in the sight of thee
Almighty Christ paid the price
It's all right, he gave his life
that we all might be saved from our plight
And we don't have to guess what's next
When Death comes right up at our door!
We'll be excited to goooo! It's the delight of our soullllll!
That's why I'm pressin y'alllll! Don't-be-second guessin', y'alll!
Every breath we breathe inside of heaven is a blessin', y'all
So I ain't stressin y'all. This is confession, y'alll!
Jesus is the Truth! That's why me and my crew be reppin', y'alll!

[Chorus]

[Lecrae]
Right back in the cup "What's up?"
I'm still goin plead my CASE to Godddd!
Christ is the savior by who's sin has been erased for y'alllll!
Okay I'm chasin y'all but-don't-think that I'm crazy, brah!
Cause there's an abundance of grace that I'd like to explain to y'alllll!
Look! Don't trippppp!
What to eat what to drink 'cause you know God got thissss!
See once you know Him you're adopted innnnnnn!
At this point God is your father
Call him Abba, Pappa, Fadja! Fadja?
Fadja, come on now!
We're collected and chosen, predestined just to behold him
Now I've got dro grom my shoulders all down to my Achilles'
I don't need money for-ever he'll self eternal inheritance
Spiritual rags to riches like Beverly Hillbillies
So I spend a couple of days and been amazed
Me tryin to figure out the jist of this!
God saved and forgave me I ain't have to work a lick for this?!
And you might just trip on this, aside from these benefits
You know the God who made us from dust and plus
He'll make the change in this (body)

[Chorus]

[Lecrae]
What an honor, despite the drama life has to offer
We follow the father not flirty mommas and dirty dollars
So keep the comma cause REALLY we don't believe in thaaat
Psychic folks and horoscopes: no! we won't be needing thaaat
Hey dawg, where Jesus at? Cause I been fiendin, blaaack!
To see his face at the second coming, I mean in thaaat
It's cause I'm heedin that called that he gave me to
Learn his ways and turn and pass it on to a faithful few
That's why I'm lovin-the-life that-I'm-livin so I could preach the truth
Teach the youth and I pray that, God this is reachin you
I'm seeking toooo explain things that may seem Greek to you
God desires our satisfaction to be in Jesus duuude
Believe me, you or believe you me just believe in this
A life reflecting the glory of God you need in this
In a moment, in a second, in aa twinkling of an eye
All the dead gonna rise and we gonna flyyyy!

[Chorus]
