Hook:
Ay, what you see when you lookin’ at me?/
What you see when you lookin’ at me, huh? What?/
When you look at me, what do you see?/
Will you judge, or take me for me? Tell me what its gon’ be/
Is Jesus freak the first thing that ya think?/
Well I’m a born again, child of the King. But is that what ya see?/
Well, when ya look at me, what do see?
What you thinkin’ when you see JG?
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Vs 1:
My jeans low, cap off to the side/
I might emit a lil limp in my walk when I stride/
My shirt big, hair long, I got a couple of tats/
But ya boy ain’t bad-that’s just my swag/
A good guy- with a bad wrap, just cuz I rap/
Why should I-change my wardrobe? Cuz you think that I’m strapped?/
Well look I- ain’t holdin’ homie, no need for all that/
I got these angels camped around me & they holdin’ my back/
Ya dig it? I been saved, been walkin’ in light/
Full of wisdom, bring the Word, when I’m rockin’ the mic/
I’m out the grave, resurrected, & that old man dead/
But I still get disrespected by some old church heads/
& I still got young folk comin’ at me crazy/
Askin’ me where the weed at, like I’m blazin’/
& try as I might, I been workin’ to change it/
But these stereotypes, they just so frustratin.
Hook
Vs 2:
I know it ain’t just me, its lil thangs that bug ya/
Like when girls see the ring, but still want your number/
Young dudes tryna sound cool, but just look dumber/
When they tell me bout the plans they done made for the summer/
Look fellas, I’m not impressed by the girls that ya hit/
Or the stories bout what ya drunk, or blunts that ya lit/
I’m 26, a grown man, I got a wife & a kid/
The last thing I wanna hear, is you tryna be slick/
& can them girls walk past without you callin’ ‘em thick?/
Ay, by the way-”Lil girl, go get some clothes that fit!”/
Look, I know its a trip, cuz most dudes my age/
& in a similar demographic don’t choose to obey/
But the words that Yeshua say- they like a lamp to my feet/
Yeah, a light to my path, my strength when I’m weak/
So I can’t help but to preach, & praise God for that/
But I know He’d be disappointed how some of yall act/
Yeah I know my pants sag & that’s the truth alright/
But judge not the outward man… What that fruit look like?
Hook
Vs 3:
You never know, I could be just like you/
Don’t judge a book by its cover, read the summary through/
I know its hard not to judge, I done that too/
But what you think folks feel when they lookin’ at you?/
& what ya seen in the past- that’s not an excuse/
Take your own eyes out & put God’s to use/
& I admit- that its just a bit- harder to do/
But start lookin’ through love- quit blockin’ the view/
Yeah, stop & think about what the Father would do/
& the type of folks He used to bring His prophecies through/
& no it ain’t gon’ be easy all the time, but if you/
Honor them, watch God start honoring you.
Hook:
If you sold out for real, put your fist up high/
& look to the sky, & testify/
I’ma Disciple, I give you my life/
I’ma Disciple, a Disciple of Christ Yeah, I’m spirit-filled & I walk by faith/
So for the rest of my days, I’ll seek your face/
I’ma Disciple, I lay down my life/
I’ma Disciple, A Disciple of Christ/
Vs 1:
See we answered that callin’, ain’t no talkin, we walkin’/
We ain’t worried bout ballin’, we goin’ after the fallen’/
Tryna bring ‘em the Kingdom, so the Lord can redeem ‘em/
It’s the reason we breathin’, it’s time to bring the regime in/
It’s the Great Commission, but its gon’ take persistence/
To make disciples of all nations & take ‘em fishin’/
We gotta make ‘em listen, they don’t know what they missin’/
Remove the scales from our eyes & consecrate our vision/
See I’m sold out, that means I’d die for this thing/
& if I’m absent from the body, I’m alive with the King/
So every day I suit up, got that armor on me/
Lookin’ for new troops ready to join this army/
We grind, He’s renewin’ our mind/
Keep pursuin’ the blind to graft ‘em in to the vine/
We go where we’re assigned, cuz we have been designed/
To bring the truth of Jesus to all mankind/
We are Disciples!
Hook
Vs 2:
You see that old man dead, I’ma new creature/
& my life would be a waste, if I wasn’t preachin’/
So I use the gift He gave, to go out & reach ‘em/
See Christ got center-stage, I’m just a feature/
He died for us, so let’s live for Him/
He provides for us, so let’s give to Him/
If He abides in us, & forgiven our sins/
Well then its time for us to go & ride for Him/
See we baptized in that fire, & now our only desire/
Is to look more like Him, & He’s takin’ us higher/
But you can’t even join the team if you don’t pick up that cross/
& be willing to leave your loved ones to go after the lost/
“If you abide in my Word, your My disciples indeed”/
Them Jesus’ words, not mine, that’s the Disciple’s Creed/
So we devour His teachings & imitate what we read/
We’ve been empowered to preach it until this mission’s complete.
Hook
Vs 3:
Sho’ ain’t easy tryna walk this walk/
But we fully dedicated, & we give it our all/
Just takin’ it day to day, see we the light & the salt/
Though we may slip from time to time, we never gon’ fall/
Cuz He’s the Author & Finisher of our faith/
That means He right there with us as we runnin’ this race/
The Living Water, so we won’t dehydrate/
If we just keep on pushin’ cuz we covered in Grace/
See He saved us from out of the grave & made us all brand new/
No way to repay Him, thank Him, or show Him our gratitude/
& all we can really do is just pledge our allegiance/
& offer ourselves up, to walk in obedience/
So that’s what we did, & that’s how we live/
As Disciples of Christ, now our lives become His/
See we died, when He did/ Became alive when He did/
I’d give my life like He did/
& I strive to be like He is!
Hook
Bridge:
After the Resurrection, Jesus said “All authority’s been given to Me in Heaven & on Earth, go therefore, making disciples of all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy Ghost. I’m with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen!
A Song 4 Jesus,
Lord God I love you/
I just wanna lift you up right now, I don’t need nothin’ from ya/
But to take some time to worship & praise who you are without askin’ for nothin’/ Who am I, that you would even lend your ear?/
The Almighty God, I can see you so clear/
You’re callin’ my name, & you’re drawin’ me near/
Now in your presence, can’t stop the tears/
Sweet Jesus, my Lord & my God is sovereign & highly exalted/
Risen King, my Light, my Rock/
I wish that I could just kiss your scars/
Savior, Prince of Peace & Messiah, all that my Spirit desires/
Merciful, Holy, & Righteous, definition of Love & Kindness/
My Sword & my Shepherd, my Shield & protection/
Lord, there is none like you, & I’ll sing your praises forever/
I know I was out there trippin’, heard your voice, but just would not listen/
But you’re so persistent, your Love knows no boundaries or limits/
& now, I have forgiveness, You rain down on me like a thousand kisses/
Can’t explain, no way to describe the feelings/
This relationship with you is just so surreal, its/
Well, like being born again, I guess that’s why you call it being born again/
Lord I open up my spirit, more, give me more of Him!/
Just look at that sunset there/
How could they deny you’re there?/
Your Majesty covers the earth, your presence fills the atmosphere/
& I’m just so glad I know ya/
I wish there was some kind of way to show ya/
So I humbly submit this praise, & I will honor you all my days/
& I’ll acknowledge you in all my ways/
With every breath I will seek your face/
& use my freedom in Christ to become your slave!
Hook:
I walk clean through the streets cuz of one blood/
Death can’t hold me down cuz of one blood/
Hey I done made it this far cuz of one blood/
So now I stand a champion cuz of one blood.
-Repeat-
VS 1
It ain’t but one blood, could wash away that mess/
Its one blood & one name, we MUST confess-Jesus/
Know what I’m sayin’? Ya got that right/
Ya might’ve seen a lot of blood, but not that type/
Ay-this the blood, that came up out the lamb/
Sprinkle it in your cup & gon’ knock it on back/
Drink it, it fills ya up. You’re never gon’ lack/
It’s the reason He was bleedin’, so that He could bring us back/
But ya gotta come under the blood, or you gon’ stay dirty/
& if you ain’t covered up, well then you ain’t worthy/
It’s one blood. Poured out like a flood/
Drippin’ off that rusty nail, makin’ crimson mud/
Yeah, & all the pain it took to cause it to shed/
He endured on a cross, where I should’ve been/
& I can never know the cost, so with that being said/
Man, even with my flaws, He still went up & bled that/
One Blood.
Vs 1
Today looks like a good day to die/
Turn my back on the world, its time to say goodbye, alright/
So next time you see your boy on the corner/
Please understand the man you’re use to seein’ a gonner/
& He ain’t comin’ back so let him rest in his peace please/
& quit tryna resurrect the dead with all these things/
Look-I don’t smoke, man don’t ask me for no lighter/
You really wanna, we could have discussions bout some fire/
Naw, I don’t drink, & I don’t hit the club/
So next time you’re going out, please don’t ask me to come/
Look here, I aint goin’, but I’ll be at the crib man/
So get back with me if you wanna come kick back/
& we could talk, discuss some thangs like/
The game I see you playing, boy you’re walkin’ a thin line/
Man, I’m just sayin’, you know what it is/
You been up in a church, man you know how to live/
Yeah you know that I was worse, ay, I got to admit/
But why you bringin’ up the old stuff that I done did?/
See me? I’m brand new, he died awhile back/
Man I thought you knew/
Yeah man, me & God, we done got back cool/
& all them bad habits-I done dropped that too/
See its strange, I never lived until I actually died/
But I never in my life felt more alive.
Hook:
To get that life you want-ya gotta die/
Put Christ at the throne-u gotta die/
Ya wanna live forever? Well-ya gotta die/
Ya gotta die, lay down your life.
-Repeat-
Vs 2
Man, folks trip, keep an eye out/
Cuz as soon as you move up, they wanna bring ya back down, huh/
That’s why ya gotta keep the right folks around ya/
So they could have your back if them demons come surround ya/
Know what I’m sayin’? I’m built to fight/
& I die every day, but I’m killed to life/
& I got a lil somethin’ that’ll get ya right/
If you’re missin’ it then listen, get crucified/
Ya gotta die, it ain’t no other way/
If yeain’t got it now, ain’t nothin else for me to say/
Told ya once, told ya twice, ya gotta let it go/
Ya gonna talk it, better walk it, or you’re never gonna grow/
You give up the old life & then you’re wantin’ it back/
& then you wonder why you be under attack/
Aw boy, you slow. Open them eyes up/
The truth’s right in front of you. Man when you gon’ wise up?
Bridge:
Hey, you sleepin’ round?-Die to that.
You drinkin’ & goin’ out?-Die to that.
You still been smokin’ out?-Die to that.
You gotta die to that, you gotta die to all that.
Hook
Vs3
See half these rappers got a cross hangin’ of they neck/
With no regard to the God who done took that death/
But see a man like myself, I gotta show some respect/
& the life that I lead-you know it reflects/
Ya gotta kill the flesh, & get up on that cross/
If you wanna be blessed then you know what it costs/
You gotta die daily, see we all got flaws/
But don’t forget that every day, you’re being watched by the lost/
Ay..ay-C’mon dawg, get it together/
Ya gotta die now if you wanna live forever/
& if it ain’t Holy, better cut it on out/
What you waitin’ on homie? Look, time runnin’ out/
You put it off-& you become a slave to that/
& satan tryna make it all fade to black/
& even if you’re saved, sin could lay you on your back/
So don’t let it kill ya,..gon & die to all that.
