Текст песни Tha Church (Lecrae) с переводом

Ladies and gentlemen

I’d like to interrupt this album

With a little bit of real talk

We bout to represent the priesthood of believers

It’s your boy Sho Biz and Lecrae

Yo let’s do this dawg

It goes one for the Father, two for the Son

Three for the Spirit through Whom work is done

Before He cracks the sky and our feet leave the dirt

Let’s go ahead and represent tha Church

Wake up in the morning, and I hit my knees early

Face to the floor, thinking I’m not worthy

I’ll do that Luke 9 thing, gotta bear my cross

Team up with Lecrae, we gotta reach the lost

I’m getting pounds from the church saying, Sho you’ve grown

But don’t get too proud, cause Sho is prone

To lie and conceit while the spirit lies in defeat

Gotta beat the flesh daily, cause dawg gotta eat

Cause God’s wrath is something we all gotta meet

It don’t matter if you Black, White, Jew or Greek

The only way to avoid the doom and despair is if

God asks Christ is He with you and He say (yeah)

But on the contreezy my neezy it may sound easy

But this living it out thing is hard, word to God

(It's tha Church baby) not pews and steeples

But those who shun evil, those Acts 2 people

Not talking bout church mothers in funny hats

But in the streets, even in the alley schooling cats

Quoting many facts, death, burial, resurrection

Get to know His atonement, He’s coming back

Forget 5 mics, I want 5 saved souls

With self-control, taking the gospel across the globe

(Say word Sho) that’s word to the deacon, the pastor

The building fund, and the choir’s singing

That’s real talk, we do it all in His Name

So how bout it, let’s be a Church without blame

A Church without vain, a Church without shame

Ayo but who murdered Christ?

In that we take claim

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

It goes one for the Father, two for the Son

Three for the Spirit through Whom work is done

Before Christ come back to reign on earth

Let’s go ahead and represent tha Church

I pick up the phone, it’s Sho, talking bout it’s a show

I’m like, I can’t go cause my dough on low

But at a, quarter to four I got a knock at the door

He got my ticket in his hands like you ready to roll?

I’m like (yeah), it’s so good to my system mayne

It feel good to be a Christian mayne

We got the same Spirit working within us

We get excited when we think about the Lord

Coming back to get us

And what’s, mine is yours, I know what’s yours is mine

Food, money, time or sixteen bars of rhyme

It’s like Acts 4:32, yeah Crae dirty too

But tha Church keep Crae from looking like a worldly dude

And I ain’t talking bout the buildings and bricks

I’m talking bout the men and women who be getting strict

It’s tha Church

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

I was your everyday sinner, up in the club

Sipping on (huh?) smoking on (what?)

Straight from the suburbs but faking like a thug

Don’t mean to glorify it, it just is what it was

Yeah you know me too, I was the same dude hustling

The same one that clubbed for fun and loved lusting em

The same little thief off of Scott street, ya watched me

Probably hoped the cops would come and box me

Till the Gospel offended me, gave me an identity

A man with a hole, losing grip of his soul

I was introduced to the Scriptures and Him who died

I never saw a man cry, till he met Christ

For me in '98 Christ became more than a name

Conviction hit my frame, my heart was changed

Like somebody hit the light switch inside of my brain

And when I hit my knees to pray, it wasn’t in vain

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I had to invest

In my soul, and all I had to do was say yes

And ever since then I’ve been eternally secure

And placed in tha Church all glory to the Lord

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

We love the Lord for

What He is, what He was

We praise Him because

What He did, what He does

He gave His life ya’ll

And He did it for us

And why He do it ya’ll

And He did it because

We’re tha Church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church

It’s the church baby

We the church
