Lecrae - Always Knew Lyrics

Lecrae this album stays on replay. I love you

Who still listening in 2020! 🏃🏾‍♂️💯

Yeah, this right here is dedicated to
My family, my friends, my lady, everybody that held me down
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me) especially the Lord, you know what I mean
Shine a light on me, shine a light on me
Y'all a bright light in my life, you feel me? (yeah yeah, ay)
Shine a light on me
Learned a lot over the last few years
Industry people ain't friends, just peers
I learned that these girls is easy like the morning of a Sunday
They don't love you until you gone like Harambe
Still killing over colors, now it's black and blue
We dyin' every day, B, we just don't make the news
When you speak up for your race just watch
They gon' twist and say you hate these cops, I'ma take these shots
How can he love Jesus, Kanye, and K Dot?
Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer, Mitsubishi, and Maybach?
Contradictory, nah, it's complimentary
Understanding me ain't for the simple and elementary
Oh, I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed, could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playing back the words that I said, that's crazy
I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you)
I thank you
Now I remember, uh, I was sittin' in my room
Glued to my television daily after school
And I never saw me going to college
Higher learning was a different world, I can acknowledge
I used to imagine being in a black Range
Gettin' paid from doin' this little rap thing
And now I'm paying these professors couple thousand for a lesson
Graduated in recession, Sally Mae just want a check and I'm stressin'
Rap music, it was all a dream
Now I'm in a session chasin' my dreams
Who woulda knew man, it's crazy
S1 introduced me to Jay-Z, never met my dad but I met the music that raised me
I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed, could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playing back the words that I said, that's crazy
I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you)
I thank you
Listen, I know God did it, can't take the credit
Paid off all of my debts but I still feel so indebted
Been all over the world with these songs I wrote
My life story oughta give y'all hope
Without a doubt I've been doubted and counted out
I've been down for the count, about to quit
Mama told me keep going, 'cause I was made for this
I either get a scholarship or I could get a hit
I still can't believe I made it here
I can't believe we made it through (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My momma say she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I told my lady I ain't never met nobody like you (like you)
I thank you
Shine a light on me, shine a light on me
Shine a light on me, shine a light on me
Yeah yeah, ay
Shine a light on me, shine a light on me
Shine a light on me, shine a light on me

Eu jamais me esquecerei dessa letra, vou levá-la pela minha vida inteira comigo! Já chorei por diversas vezes escutando porque a letra mexe muito comigo! Mano, sabe quando você escuta a sua vida passando e a música vai acontecendo junto com a sua vida, brother? ELA É ASSIM!

When you know the truth, it will make you free. Lecrae is speaking his, let's work to speak ours in words, deeds, and humility.

Still banging in 2019

2019 into 20???

One of them albums you can listen to over and over years later. He did this!

“Never met my dad but I met the music that raised me” 🔥
That one hit different. 🔥🔥

@Lecrae i Like The Intro Music or Hook in the Beginning how you Open the Album All Things Work Together.

Let you know

Always knew just wanted to make sure Who was running next to me not everyone finished the race getting the glory there won’t be a day with out the struggle fighting the flesh have a way of getting to the truth not claiming perfection on my life but when you’re brother or sister needs help or confide in another brother is confident I’m always saying thank you Jesus because is from my heart not so other people will approve of me only approval I need is Jesus thank you Jesus ✝️✝️☝️☝️☝️

[Intro]
Yeah, this right here is dedicated to my family, my friends, my lady, everybody that helped me down through the highs and lows. Especially the Lord, you know what I mean? You held a bright light in my life, you feel me?

Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
Yeah, ayy
Shine a light on me

[Verse 1]
Learned a lot over these last few years
Industry people ain't friends, just peers
I learned that these girls easy like the morning of a Sunday
They don't love you 'til you gone like Harambe
Still killin' over colors, now it's black and blue
We dyin' every day, B, we just don't make the news
When you speak out for your race, just watch
They gon' twist and say you hate these cops
I'ma take these shots
How can he love Jesus, Kanye, and K-Dot?
Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer, Mitsubishi, and Maybach?
Contradictory, nah, it's complimentary
Understanding me ain't for the simple and elementary, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed
Could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playin' back the words that I said

[Chorus]
I can't believe we made it through
My momma said she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew
I told my lady, "I ain't never met nobody like you"
I thank you

[Verse 2]
Now I remember, uh, I was sittin' in my room
Glued to my television daily after school
And I never saw me goin' to college
Higher learning was a different world, I can acknowledge
I used to imagine me in a black Range
Gettin' paid from doin' this lil' rap thing
And now I'm payin' these professors couple thousand for a lesson
Graduated, in recession, Sallie Mae just wanna check in, I'm stressin'
Rap music, it was all a dream
Now I'm in a session chasin' my dream
Who would have knew? Man, it's crazy
S1 introduced me to JAY-Z
Never met my dad, but I met the music that raised me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know this might go over some heads
But I come from being government fed
Could be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playin' back the words that I said
That's crazy

[Chorus]
I can't believe we made it through
My momma said she ain't surprised, told me that she always knew
My day ones still the same ones, love to the crew
I told my lady, "I ain't never met nobody like you"
I thank you

[Verse 3]
Listen, I know God did it, can't take the credit
Paid off all of my debts, but I still feel so indebted
Been all over the world with these songs I wrote
My life story oughta to give y'all hope

I thank you

[Outro]
Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
Yeah, ayy
Shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me
You shine a light on me

Seems to me like Lecrae doesn't preach Christ anymore.

R.I.P. Harambe.

lecrae , I had a blast seeing you Friday night at the Moda Center in Portland at the Rose quarter for the winter jam tour concert . I love all your music . I listen to you daily . I love you . keep making music and speaking the truth 💯💞🎶🎤

At the end of the song it can almost sound like lecrae is saying. She a light on meek. Shine a light on meek. Meaning meek mill and his incarceration.

My mum told me she always knew too, so I can't brag

Lecrae been through some.ish. he deserves his spot light.

"They"ll love you till you gone like harambe" hahaha

Wow thank you I appreciate the lyrics of this song so much and for as much as my years have been wow!

Now I’m paying the feds bcuz you play back the words that I said. That’s crazy! I can’t believe we made it through! Yaaay UNT graduate Lecrae alumni !!

I am proud I am a christian

Listen to Kevin D Jimison's "God I Love You" song! The new version!

I so happy I am going to his concert

The growth of gospel is what the church folks are scared of to meet there people where they at to show love unconditionality is the concept the body is losing, but Jesus did it first shot out to lecare speak and let spirit move

That new version of "God I Love You" by Kevin D Jimison is JAAAMIN!!!!

Thank you man. If we just remembered to have morals this country would be able to work together to mpve forward.

Lecrae dê um Oi para o Brasil. Nós te amamos! 😍😍😍

Best song on the album has close to the fewest views🤔

Came here from Rap critics review of Lecraes song "Blessings" and had to listen to this song. Now I may buy this album over how awesome this album is. I love it so can't wait to here more of his older stuff as well!

LOVE ❤️ The best. REALLY. I love Jesus Christ. 😍😩😊😘😌🤗😲🙏

I am a fifty four year old woman and you speak to my soul Lecrae! Thank you

My day 1s still the same ones, love to the crew

So happy Lecrae is sticking to his style of rap like he started out, and not trying to do this trap style of rap. I feel like all rappers in 2017 are doing the trap style and it sounds annoying and horrible. Lecrae keep being you man and this new album you brewed up is phenomenal! Lot of respect for you man! God bless
