Lecrae - Rebel (intro) Lyrics

Yeah, I got a question, after the show
After the set, after the music stops, what's next?
Are we just writing songs or are we concerned
With uniting a people to follow
The great commission of christ
Yeah let's get it, let's go

Back in the day I was a lunch line rapper
After that I guess I was a punch line rapper
Then I got saved and sometime after
Ya boy came back as a frontline rapper
And when I say the frontlines, that's not a front line
I'm out here preachin' christ on the frontlines
And no it ain't about rockin' stages 'cause
Some of my engagements are out on the pavement yeah
I'm out to take the bible, create disciples
Who make disciples, disciple-cycles
That's why I want the beats to knock so after
The music stops you can meet the rock I pray
That you would know him well, this is like show and tell
It's more than a show, I'm showing you emmanuel
So yeah I'm hopin' that you're likin' the flow
But it's only so you could know that
God I'm writing it for let's go

After the show, after the set
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples
Will you open your bibles after the music stops
After it's over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that christ is king?
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops

I recorded a couple songs some fast some slow
So the listeners would know the importance of the show
The importance of the show not to excite
These folks but make god's truth relevant
Ignite these folks
Discipleship is our call but we make disciples
This is not a suggestion, create disciples
The teachin' is a process, it's not overnight
And it's not a stage and a mic nah, it's life on life christ
Walked with twelve, ate with twelve
Talked with twelve, shaped the twelve
Invested in 'em well you could say that he made the twelve
Who made many more, who made plenty more
Now it's on you and me if there's anymore
1 teach, 2 teach, 3 teach, 4 teach, 5 teach
6 teach, 7 teach more, this is what we've been commissioned
It's the reason why I write
So that you could hear the truth
Not so you can say I'm tight whoa

After the show, after the set
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples
Will you open your bibles after the music stops
After it's over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that christ is king
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops

So, we write this for the right the speak of was righteous
And then we mic check for a culture who likes the hypeness
Some say we keep it crunk, some say we hype man
We just wanna pump the resurrection of the christ man
We in the -burbs and the hoods that's hostile
We share a common view like synoptic
Gospels and you know we keep a couple young dudes
Around us and teach 'em the same truth god used to ground us
This is a lifestyle so, when the mic's down
I pray people follow christ when they turn the lights down
I pray that everybody playin' this song will be
Challenged by everything I had to say in this song
I don't do this for the money
I don't do this for fame, I don't do this so
The industry can know my name, I do this in hopes
To glorify yeshua the king, if you're feelin' me
You know you should be doin' the same let's go

After the show, after the set
After the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer
Disciples, will you open your bibles after the music stops
After it's over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that christ is king
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops
