Lecrae - Battle Song Lyrics






Oh yeah! (Oh yeah)
Here we go! (Here we go)
A little rough! (A little rough)
No sweat! (No sweat)
I can do it! ( I can do it)
You can do it! (You can do it)
Ooorah! (Ooorah)
Left right........

Tell 'em bring their guns out
Send my city up in flames
And yea though I walk through the valley of the dead
But my hope still remains
Whether dead or alive, this is do or die
When Christ is the gain
So raise your torches up high
Tonight we fight for our King

I was Taylored to snatch the mic Swiftly like Kanye did
And lay it down for the king like a sleigh bed
And they can kill us now, go get the yellow tape
Hey put me 6 feet in the ground and watch a great escape
I promise, ain't a 6 shooter that can keep me down
My God's so official, that's a technical foul
Was engineered in my mother's womb for Gods' glory
Plenty faith in the persecution is inventory
I been spit in the face, still exhibiting grace
Kicked out many a place, just for sharing my faith
My belt tight, shoes laced, plus a breast plate
My war helmet on now I got my head straight
The battle's on but the war is over when Jesus reigns
And fo' His name I withstand the pressure and take the pain
And if they drop us, this promise, we'll take it to the grave
That tonight we may die, but to die is our gain!

Tell 'em bring their guns out
Send my city up in flames
And yea though I walk through the valley of the dead
But my hope still remains
Whether dead or alive, this is do or die
When Christ is the gain
So raise your torches up high
Tonight we fight for our King

Bout to be a riot, guns and fire, Somebody's dyin'
But it won't be us, covered in His blood, spillin' our guts
But even if it was, let our dust blow in the wind, we win when it's done
Christ puttin' out thunder-raps with the nuns
So I am taking no prisoners, not-a-one
None, and no I'm not The One
I just run solar in the power of The Son
My God's a m-m-monsta
Treads on Black mambas defeats and conquers

Tell 'em bring their guns out
Send my city up in flames
And yea though I walk through the valley of the dead
But my hope still remains
Whether dead or alive, this is do or die
When Christ is the gain
So raise your torches up high
Tonight we fight for our King

Yeah, ready to die, notorious for our martyrs man
We die daily and wake up and do it all again
Either we certain or we certainly insane
Bullets riddlin' our frame, still we don't deny the Name
Maybe we lost it, we vuelvo loco
'Cause Heaven is my home homie I ain't local
I'm so vocal
Chords of a chorus say we tied to the Lord like Chords
Of course
Hey what a course, if I get to goin' in
I'm going off like "kill me" I'm still goin' in
God, by all means possible
Give me the faith to live and die for the gospel

Tell 'em bring their guns out
Send my city up in flames
And yea though I walk through the valley of the death
But my hope still remains
Whether dead or alive, this is do or die
When Christ is the gain
So raise your torches up high
Tonight we fight for our King
Our king, our king, tonight we fight for our King
Our king, our king, tonight we fight for our King

    When Jesus said that His kingdom is at hand, he meant that His people, angels, beasts, and the trinity are all available for us to hang out with, see and hear, on Earth. He is establishing this revolution is our genearation where we will chill with Heaven on earth! Pray into it, and seek it! It wont come over night but keep at it and you will be used for revolution and be able to hang out with Heaven from where you are!

  18. C.... N....

    same here homie!!!

  37. t.... ....

    See there's a war that's going on outside, and you can try to ignore and just run and hide. But everyday more and more people die. See the battles for souls, we're on the front lines. So many souls, just too scared to fight. They're too worried about what people thinking of their life. How can you fight if you don't lay down your pride? And how will anyone see if you won't shine your light?

    ~KJ-52

  38. J.... D....

    dis song is sooo craaash:)

  39. A.... T....

    Actually it's a Marine cadence. :P sorry for the correction but I'm a Marine recruit, we sing this cadence every time we march.
    I definently agree with everything else you said though! OORAH! For Christ!

  40. S.... ....

    ok, even better, find it int the bible, give me the verse please

  41. B.... B....

    Well i can find you that in the bible, Jesus sed it himself, no dictionary needed. wasn't really tryna correct u anyway tho

  42. S.... ....

    find me that in a dictionary

  43. B.... B....

    yeah, wen some one says a bad word its called swearing

  44. b.... ....

    @l33tpwnzord, Okay, so let's say you are using curse words that aren't aimed to offend anybody or aren't profaning God's name...let me ask you something. By using curse words, are your words building up others in Christ? Are they leading sinners to repentance? Do people hear a person of God that is set apart? (Romans 12) Colossians 4:6 says "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person." Think about it.

  45. S.... ....

    you dont know the most high - "cursing" means the apposite of blessing- so called "bad words" is actually -rude speech- wich prophets used

  46. s.... ....

    this song is tough!

  47. D.... P....

    @imisrael92 Yeah, what's your point?

  48. i.... c....

    ass is in the bible.

  49. i.... c....

    damn that was bad ass. i barley listen to christian rap but this was off tha chain not gonna lie.

  50. i.... c....

    he says kanye not ye

  51. M.... B....

    Nice!! I love lecrae.

  52. D.... N....

    wow blackhawk669 are you retarded didnt you here the oorah pretty sure thats a marine saying i know army is hooah

  53. D.... F....

    @happypanda1497
    What about cursing that it isn't hurtful to anyone or aimed at anyone? And doesn't profane the Lord's name?

    I would challenge you to not accept cultural assumptions about christianity and to go to the scriptures to test everything. It isn't helpful for us to assume that curse words we might use are the same as Paul's use of the word "obscenities and coarse joking."

  54. C.... ....

    @Blackhawk669 I see where you're getting at but those are Devil Dogs not Soldiers

  55. i.... ....

    @l33tpwnzord Several places in the bible it says not to curse. Even in the new testament. Plus why would cursing be a christian thing? Do you think Jesus cursed? If you do, I don't know why. Cursing is used to bring people down and when you can't find the right word. It's foul and offensive and why would Jesus act like that? We're supposed to act like Jesus. If you think Jesus would condone cursing then...Paul doesn't condone "obscenities and "coarse joking" either. Ephesians 5:4

  56. c.... ....

    It is not about the words it is about the heart behind the words. ;-)

  57. D.... F....

    @blessedgirl220
    Rad, so where did Paul say that our modern cuss words are "unclean"? I think you have to be careful about applying phariseeical laws (like no cussing) as a way to prove you're a christian. When a non-believer sees you not cussing they don't see Jesus, they see someone who's good at following the rules.

    I would be careful about assuming that the new testament says certain things about profanity.

  58. D.... F....

    @gazelle2994
    I think you need to get beyond silly phariseeical christian rules like "dont cuss"

  59. D.... F....

    @Seattlecba
    Maybe following Jesus is about more than not cussing?

  60. A.... W....

    Check out are channel. We are Christian Rappers as well. Also check out page on facebook/intrepid.musik and as always God Bless :)

  61. b.... ....

    AMAZING

  62. M.... ....

    but to die is our gain! =D

  63. I.... F....

    15 or mor likes and me and 3 friends will dance to this song in our school talent show

  64. G.... K....

    I am blown away with the spirit of God flowing thru you!!! Thank you!!!

  65. F.... ....

    @GangstaBunny11 I guess I can only speak for myself, but I'd wager most people aren't saying that. We're all sinning rebels saved by & to our God at great cost to Himself; so none can boast. But Matthew 7 shows that we do judge actions, not hearts. None of us are perfect. But that doesn't mean pastors never preach against Christians persisting in sinful habits. Youtube is obv. a poor medium, I agree, but I'd hope in life we all have friends spurring us to godliness. Have a great day, bro/sis!

  66. G.... ....

    @CrucifiedLivesS4C Real Christians are just as guilty of sin as lukewarm Christians you cant turn from youre sin because its human nature to sin no true christian is perfect. No true Christian is better than any other Christian. Thats all i was saying

  67. G.... ....

    @FroMaestro no i dont i think it makes people mad as a matter of fact ive seen it happen. Im not saying that cussing is okay im saying everyone sins we were born into sin thats the reason Jesus had to come die for us no one should be saying" You are a worse Christian than me" just because they cuss.I personally do not cuss because the Bible says not to, but im not perfect so i will not criticize anyone.

  68. C.... L....

    @GangstaBunny11 your right there is no such thing as a bad Christian but there is such a thing as a real Christian (Galatians 5:25) and a Lukewarm Christian (Revelations 3:15) Jesus called us to repent of all of our sins and turn from them because the kingdom of God is coming soon, no true Christian cusses and lives in sin. We're called to be not of this world but to just live in it as His soldiers and do His will, that is why everyday is a battle of spiritual warfare.

  69. F.... ....

    @GangstaBunny11 you don't think it's gainful to encourage a Christian who contends that cussing is a-okay, that it actually is not and point to scripture as a basis for your statement? I think it is. Have a great day!

  70. F.... ....

    @PushandillPushback hey bro/sis lol, I was responding to someone contending that it's perfectly fine to be a man of God who cusses. I have absolutely no problem with the lyric =]. I think you'll understand my post better if you peep the context. Have a great day!

  71. P.... ....

    @FroMaestro what's wrong with "tonight we fight for our king"? The bible is more than one dimensional, and even if "fighting" is wrong or sounds like todays jargon it's still in derect relation to the fact we are all fighting a spiritual battle. If you dont fight tonight, then when tomorrow, a week from now, or maybe never...

  72. B.... C....

    @blessedgirl220 That is silly. Yes, your quoting Luke 6:45. But it doesn't follow that "profanity" has anything to do with the evil or good in a mans heart. That verse has nothing to do with cursing- Whether you say f*** or freak, or suck, or piss or ass. Your missing the entire context of the verse!

  73. 1.... ....

    3 ran from the battle!

  74. A.... D....

    I love lecrae!!

  75. G.... ....

    I wish they would delete comments for these videos all everyone does is argue about stupid things we should all just praise God together instead of arguing all i see is people tellin other people they apparently arent "good" christians. there are no such things as "good" or "bad" christians just christians why dont we all just praise God instead of throwing out Bible verses

  76. G.... ....

    3 people forgot their armor

  78. c.... ....

    True annointed lyrical artistry!!!!

  79. M.... ....

    @HTBPFilms yeah its all a process

  80. D.... F....

    @blessedgirl220
    Define "profanity"

    Unclean things passed through the pharisees lips without them using profanity.

  81. B.... ....

    Love the Army cadence in the beginning. Amazing song in general. Remember like soldiers fighting for a cause we are Soldiers of God, fighting against the enemy the devil and his legions. But through Christ we have already won.

  82. j.... j....

    @Xtrov how do you like Lecrae and not God? That's all he talks about.

  83. G.... D....

    HEll go to WAr For US in Fact hell DIe For us READ genesis to ROmans 116

  84. D.... T....

    @er33t
    yeah there are a lot of cadences that can be personalized for each branch of the military, and squadrons and groups in those different branches

  85. c.... p....

    @SuperFlightfanatic the military cadence. I was thinking that it was a different military cadence when I first heard it. I found the one I was thinking of and I still have no clue what the cadence is called though

  86. D.... T....

    @er33t The hook?
    or the Jody which is a military cadence?

  87. c.... p....

    what is the name of the song in the beginning part?

  88. T.... ....

    not even that big on the whole God thing, but Lecrae is one of my favorites out there.

  89. R.... ....

    Yep, I'm going to be learning this song off by heart. And an armful of the Bible's promises. And whatever else I can get my hands on. I reckon it'll help, because I think I'm at risk of slipping into depression. But you know what? I'm gonna fight! I'm gonna cling to God's promises and all that He is! And He's gonna pull me through this! Praise the Lord in advance!

    Thank you, @justrun7 (nice name!) for posting this. God's using it :)

  90. B.... G....

    LACRAE... IF U EVR WERE TO HEAR THIS, U ARE HELPIN ME!!!

  91. T.... ....

    '0' ppl don't fight for their.... o wait! No one can deny that this song rocks! =]

  92. A.... W....

    thumbs up if u think that kid sounds just like little chucky

  93. A.... B....

    This should be on the radio instead of that other junk. Tonight, we fight for our King! Hands up!

  94. Z.... ....

    @blessedgirl220

    Jesus died for sin and saved us but this doesnt include were without of sin now at ALL.
    Its a constant battle which u would lose as human, altho u can regret it and ask forgiveness and ull receive thats what purifies us. not our own actions or words. Nor can u fully be purified until u die this doesnt mean u dont have to aim for perfectionisme.

  95. A.... ....

    OoOO i think im liken this :D *bobs head*

  96. D.... F....

    WHere is that sample from at the beginning?

    I hate it when christian rap songs dont print the lyrics..... i have no idea what they are saying

  97. m.... b....

    @godly99999 Lol....what up homie!?
