We Don’t Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
I ain't the standard at all
And wouldn't claim to be
But since Christ snatched me up
There's been a lot of change in me

I done got my worldview corrected
I see things eternal
Yeah I got a whole new perspective
And I don't use drugs or sell
Keep accountabilty cause my flesh yeah it love to fail
I don't go where I used to go
I got my number changed twice for the girls that I used to know And I don't trip when I pass the cops
Cause I'm not making assists you know
Trying to pass the rock

I don't live life scared of death
Cause when I take my last breath
The next step is there in Text
I'm not a legalist and I ain't hating
But there's things I don't and won't do man I read Galatians
And I keep reading Ephesians
If it's Christ we believe in we shouldn't be confused with the heathens

[Hook]
You gon ride with us? Nah I don't do that there
You getting high with us? Nah I don't do that there
You wanna hit a lick? Nah I don't do that there
Get a couple chicks? Uh-uh I don't do that there
You gon roll with us? Nah I don't do that there
You getting throwed with us? Nah I don't do that there
I know you gon hit it right? Nah I don't do that there
C'mon I know you with it right? Uh-uh I don't do that there
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Man I don't trip on copping whips
If it ain't a DVD you won't catch me popping clips
I don't trip on chains and shoes, my God thinking 'bout whether to change the city sky from greys to blues
I don't chase love up in the club
I chase thugs with a great love sent from the heavens above
I don't care about the famous names
Cause when Christ come back a lot of folks gone be nameless mayne
And I ain't worried bout speaking His name
If it wasn't for Christ, yeah we'd all be sinking in flames
And I don't even wanna change the game
Your favorite rapper got saved last night
Yeah that's the aim, the world we living in is simply tempting
So I quit consenting to my flesh when it tries to pimp me

Till I die or God come to get me, I ain't doing what this world wanna do
Now is ya with me?

[Hook]

[Verse 3: R-Swift]
I'ma keep it short simple and plain • I used to fiend for the pimp game but got with Christ and switched my aim • flipped my pain to a burden • to grab Hip-Hop His name and merge it • with His word as the plate then serve it • cats like who you serve kid? • man it's gotta be Him • who wiped my sin • slate clean like Oxy-10 • I rock Christ from PA to Dallas • R-Swift and Lecrae walk in the Spirit till our feet ache with callous • nah I'm buggin but for real my point is • without Christ life is pointless • this joint is • for the prisoners trapped on the block • we're blasting shots • cause cats to drop like temperatures • without Christ and His restoration • your chance of making it is slimmer than Blacks getting reparationJesus Christ man the Ancient of Days • get with Him for eternal life and pass the phrase

[Hook]

[Outro]
(You gon ride with us?)
Nah player, I don't even get down like that no more
(You getting high with us?)
I ain't even tryin' to do that man
(You wanna hit a lick?)
(Get a couple chicks?)
Nah man, I can't even do it
(You gon roll with us?)
Y'all rollin out?
Yeah go and do that
(You getting throwed with us?)
I can't even move with you no more man
(I know you gon hit it right?)
I know Christ man, that's all I know now
(C'mon I know you with it right?)
I'm sayin I'm not the same
I'm a new creature
A whole new creation
A whole new mentality
I can't get down with it
Know what I'm sayin?
It's real life
Real talk
I can't do it
