Biography:
“History does not happen in a straight line…” -Barack Obama
Neither does hip hop nor its prolific breakout rhymist/activist/author/voice of conscience Lecrae.
Never afraid to move the needle, few would argue that his much anticipated Columbia Records debut album (due out this summer) comes at a pivotal moment for the artist, as hip hop’s torrent now moves to him.
Surging or insurgent - depending on your point of view - he’s blessed

Hook:
Rebel - I'm in rebellion
Verse 1:
Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw/ sanctified
troublemaker but He never sinned, oh/ and He lived His life by a
different set of Rules/ the culture ain't approve/so you know they had
to bruise Him/ that's the way they do/ man, they swear they so
gangsta/ everyone the same/ everybody do the same stuff/ tattoos,
pierces, smokin' up and drinking/ money and sex plus them extravagant weekends/
man if that's the high life/ I'll puff puff pass that/ you
leave evaporated like missing a gas cap/ I guess I'm passed that/ I'm
in rebellion/ rather have a dollar in my pocket than a mill-ion/ scared
to worship money, my wants over Elyon/ I'll remain a rebel while the rest
of them just carry on/this is what I live fo/ this the hill I'm buried
on/ if Jesus is the truth/ that means one of us is VERY wrong/ think about it
(I know in our day, 'rebel' means 'sinner'.
But everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin!
Jesus was a rebel who was counter-cultural.)
Verse 2:
No glory to me/ all glory's to the King on the throne (Jesus)/ you
either love Him or leave Him alone but you can't do both/ yeah, I know
you heard that once in song/ I pray you hear 10 more fo ya gone/ hey
listen up, homes/ The stage is the corner crowd is the streets/
That's why I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eat/
I'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street/Cause you refuse
to conform, won't eat the kings meat/ yeah, Christ rebelled by shunning
the culture/ He eatin' with sinners/ givin Pharisees ulcers/ He never
got married, He was broke plus homeless/yeah that's the God I roll with/ ya boy gotta wife
and no I neva cheated/ I'm prayin for humility whenever I get heated/
forget about the drugs/ rebel against pornography/ this ain't how it
oughta be, homie/ this is how it's gotta be/ A rebel
(You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked, and driving around
on a motorcycle, smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments and getting pregnant
out of wedlock.
Everyone's done that! That's so tired.
If you really want to be a rebel, read your Bible, because no one's
doing that. That's rebellion. That's the only rebellion left!)
