Lecrae - Was It Worth It Lyrics

I am french i like listen rap US Christian

I love all your songs and lyrics featured artist as well. It's amazing how scriptures can be applied in a musical way and still be understood. Major eye openers to those especially who relate to rap and not hyms, etc. It was so relieving to hear the level of understanding you all have. I especially love Rebel in rebellion, Pride on low, just like you, praying for you, all of theKeep up the good work

It's hitting so close. Black men's plz take care of the issue and your head up. GOD'S BLESS you.

Tiago Costa thanks I do appreciate it

One thing is true about the light and that is when the light is on darkness has to go.

i love this song

Lacrae you are so inspiring! Sorry that your dad left! But we gotta stay in the present not the future! Keep on believeing and loving the Lord!

Tell me,was it really worth it?

second lecrae song featuring crystal nicole that i know of.

man.....

forgiveness can heal when its all said and done that goes for  both a father and a son

Great work, cool vibe!

This song has made me so emotional. Jesus Christ has set my soul free. In Him I trust and confide. I bring all my life struggles to Him because only He can take care of me!

Amen! :)

Amen :D

+rachelle5694 Amen! :D

God bless Lecrae

I love this song so much its the best song I have heard in forever

I can relate to this song because asking myself if all the stuff i did was worth it, i knew it wasn't

Your right but in the postion he's in being influential with the youth he's needs Prayer big time we know that pride is the oldest yet still effective. Your right tho not arguing but stating why I put that

I love this song it speaks to me in so many ways

Holy crap this is my life explained

Just one part of your life, Chad. It explains it, but it doesn't have to define you and your life.

@Joseph D'Eramo well said

Proves that you're not alone :)

Lyric video to this song on my page.

if your REAL christian then judging isn't even a choice. This man preaching the Gospel in his music reaching out to people lost souls once like my own. Understand to be the light God requires you to be you cant preach to other lights, you have to go to the darkness and bring those who are lost to the light. We as christians gotta set better examples especially when it comes to judging.

I feel what these guys are saying about Lecrae's collab and I have to agree but like some have said it's also what Jesus did with publicans. But anyways...beautiful song. Can't stop crying. It ain't worth it. I get offers all the time for work that will take me away from family but I always ask myself, "is it worth it?" I always say no...

Lecrae isn't moving away from Christ, he's right with God. He's actually following in the steps of Jesus. Did Jesus ever just sit with Christians and preached to them? No, he went to sinners houses and ate with them, he was around sinners because that's who needs to be saved. By lecrae singing with these people its not because he's moving away from God, its because he wants to reach a larger audience, lecrae doesn't want to just reach Christians he wants to reach everyone sinners and believers. If you don't reach out to the sinners how are they going to learn of God?

yes!! I agree! Jesus and disciples were all over the place helping and teaching and healing. spreading love. not just sitting and ministering to each other

So Lecrae reaching out to unbelievers and doing music with some of them is wrong ? Jesus reach out to us we seen the light and are now followers .. DID IT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT ? NO ! , Lecrae is a light , a man of God , they see Lecrae doing the right thing they are going to follow because they are going to soon realize rapping about sex,money and drugs will get them no where, God is using Lecrae to reach out to the music industry because he is soon to come ! God knows what he is doing ! Just keep him lifted in prayer because it is a tough mission but God is working on the unbelievers even now !

Why do we see the speck in our brothers eye.....

Let God be true....

Praying for you Lecrae the Devil wants you but ima pray God continue to work on you
 

Devil wants all of us bro, not just Lecrae.

@rod2467 aint that the truth.

Omg I don't want the devil to take him😣😣!!! he is gonna end up selling his soul to him or do something even worse but the devil wants all of us which is so weird because we're God's creation 😄😓!!

Seth lecrae is a man of god but that doesn't mean he has to sing about god as Long as he his isn't rapping about sex drugs or doing drugs and talking about ppl bad

I wanna sing this to my dad after graduating college so I could show him that I'm never gonna be like him. I'm gonna be a professional and a faithful husband who loves God more than anyone or anything in this sinful world.

Show compassion as Jesus did it will be hard but worth it in your relationship with God in the long run.

Forgiveness will allow you to move on. Grudges shouldn't be held for long. Be like Christ

Ez Rollo Forgiveness is for us not the person's that have hurt us. God forgives us on a daily for things we've done to others knowingly and unknowingly. As Christians that strive to be Christ like you too must show compassion to others including your father. Remember the Bible says to honour thy mother and father. It doesn't have stipulations on when to or not to honour them. He's always watching us and we want to ultimately make Him happy with us!

Ez Rollo please tell me you didn’t sing this, that would be extremely cringing

I am a Lecrae apologist.. so if you have any negative comments to say about the man, please direct them at me.  I am sure I will find a scripture to support what he is doing : )...

This album is amazing. According to Rapzilla this album is #2 on ITunes.

@Mechman007
Illumimatti are about as real as ephesians 6:12
...thats all I can say

No they aren't, that's taking it completely out of context, all so called 'facts' about the illuminati contradict, there is no real evidence, and going on about the symbolism just gives free advertising opportunities for artists to use and get people to talk about their song!
To say it in the kindest way, people that go on about symbolism and illuminati just need to Shut up. lol

In context, ephesians 6:12,
that seriously is not about illuminati, it's just a foolish joke to take it that way, sorry bro.

Bro there is no such thing as iluminati although it may exist the main thing is there is good and evil ....!

Free MIXTAPE GET IT GET IT GET IT

 can relate to this song

Nice song, too bad he doesn't want to be labeled Christian. I'm waiting for 'Unashamed: Revamped: ImmAshamed'

Best songs in my opinion co sign pt2 believe. Sell out. Misconception pt 2 hands up my whole life changed. If i die tonight and hang on in which at the end when granma is on the phone and she tells crae what god says i love tht part

Agreed man, it was a great way to end the album with his Grandma on the phone like that. My favorite track is If I Die Tonight.

Love this

Reply to Mechman007*
Amen Bro.

Less then an hour!!!

I was just reading the comments and wow! I'm a Christian myself but u all need to stop judging Lecrae! He knows what he's doing people

awesome track

Song has meaning mix with truth no one like Jesus

Cray's the best yall

im going to a youth conference in stockton and san francisco with andy mineo!!

Christians artists have the right to talk about their experiences just as much as any other artist does.

I guess Chirstians just can't have fun either, right?

Beautiful. Modern day soul

Speaking truth bro

In contest, Paul is writing about idolatry, and how the Corinthians should not join unbelievers in worshiping idols(actively engaging in sin). Also, "to be yolked with" has a connotation of dependence, and to be unequally so would mean having a conflict of interest. Lecrae, when working with "secular" artists, is not "sinning" by association. Collaboration to produce music has no bearing on his faith, unless he was following their lifestyle.Was Jesus unequally yolked to tax collectors?

But it also calls out dads to start acting like the fathers they should. That's completely Biblical. Not all of his songs have to be all about Christ, they can be focused on lifestyles too. He's confronting boys to man up in a Christlike manner.

As a believer you must understand stand that there are multiple was to reach the lost. Some ppl need songs like this that will help to change their mindset. Some need baby steps.

This man's doing Romans 1:16. God bless you.

I miss gospel songs from Lecrae.

Just for the record...this song right here is not a Christian song. It's hip hop. clearly! Open your eyes. It's not even talking about Christ. It's about dead beat Dad's. Lets be real here. It's a good song. Yes. But Christian ? No. This song will never lead anyone to Christ. Lecrae doesnt want the title of "Christian Rapper" but we all still look at him like one & he sells his music as one. Much Love to the Reach camp but double mindedness has gotta go. Pray for Reach Records yall! Love!

Great lesson to learn.

Amazing! I love it.

YAY!!! NEW ALBUM!!!

been waiting on CC2 for a minute. Keep killing it, homie. It's amazing that Lecrae is getting more flak from other Christians than anyone else.Stay up, 116. Keep rocking it.

No such thing as Illuminati. It is all stupid false inconsistent conspiracy.

Even if there were such thing, they need the Gospel the most!

Hey.. y do "we"(Christians) always think that we got God's plan in the back of our pockets, explain the chosen 12? Check there backgrounds, God is working Let's Pray to submit to His plans even though we don't know it fully... This guy is front line (Lecrae) with his msg. Let's support by Praying. Don't he needs it? #KingdomFamily #KingdomMusic

My biological father adopted 2 kids from birth. I'm 19 and I have yet to meet him. This song is exactly what I needed.

God could also be working through Lecrae to reach out to these other artists.

I honestly can't wait for this album!!!

Lecraes opening eyes with music... in order to lead the blind to the father of hope, peace, love and true happiness you must walk with them! GOD'S SOULJAH MARCHING got to love it.....IF YOU BELIEVE LET'S ALL WALK!

Lecrae
keep repping God to the fullest bless you brothee

Luis agree with you yo

Love this song! And stop talking mess about Lecrae just enjoy the music and praise God

I've got to say, Lecrae is a man of God, there's no denying it. But how could he be able to relate with non-believers if all he talked about was Jesus and baptisms?

sorry * confused with lecrae

as a dude who does wears a suit to church... Im Def. picking this Mug up!!

Lecrae working with all the secular artists who are more than likely working with the illuminatti. I'm not judging him and I know this doesn't send him to hell or make him a sinner but just concerned what message it sends. But I guess long as he preaching Jesus and the finished works of the cross as he has it really doesn't matter idk. I just hope he stays the course he spits the truth and many people including I look up to him.

Great!!!

Question.. I am a gospel artist and producer. I have chosen not to make beats or feature on songs with secular artists or allow them on my songs. Not because it makes me righteous or look good because it doesn't. But only because I feel I can't put a beat behind lyrics that I don't agree with. I feel I would be helping push the wrong message. Once again this is not coming from a religious view. Just personal preference. So what do you all think about that ? Because I am a little confused

I see nothing wrong with lecrae and his approach to the world

Will it be available at 12:01am on 11/7/2013?

for all those that claim Crae is unequally yoked, let me AKS you dis? Do you also work with those who are unbelievers? Do you work on projects at work with unbelievers? Do you have friends and family that are unbelievers? Do you enter into business contracts with unbelievers? Like going to starbucks and buying a coffee. Did you check the Christian Card of the checker and bagger at the grocery store you bought your groceries from? Did you check your cell phone company's Christ card? SMH..

Around 1:35 "need approval from Nas like he family.." he talking about J Cole

Who gona heal the sick, if they never heard of a doctor

God, just punched me in the face, then picked me back up, to keeping me fighting in the race, just for the devil to tell me whats sup, i hate to admit it, be i know wasn't worth it, so why we all keep gettin it?

Lecrae is just trying to bring the ppl out of darkness to light he's reflecting the biggest light of them all is Jesus and he trying his best to honor God I know he is. Christian music is to uplift Jesus and secondly uplift our spirits and help us through our day.

Produced by DIRTY RICE nice beat

This song moved me to tears. I can relate to this. God has given me strength to forgive my biological father for not being in my life. Thankful God is my Father and has helped me through everything life has thrown at me. Thank you Lecrae and Reach Records for the impact your ministry God has given you, has had on me.

thanks guys for responding i don't want to give up on him its just i watch a lot of videos on how Christian rap is evil but in my opinion i feel like as long as i don't worship Jesus to this music then its ok to listen to .... i have other songs tht r not rap for that because i like to play basketball and i kinda lift weights lol lot times i dont but anyways i want to listen to some pump up music and i don't want to hear lil Wayne or drake jay z so i listen to 116 i don't see how thts wrong

Antony, my best guess would be that he is trying to appear like an average rapper to hook "atheists" to his rap in an effort to turn them to the truth. Idk though, at first I was confused too.

not sure, my response or the dude who i was responding to?

Youtube /watch?v=yG6mTe29vCg 1:37 he addresses that. Hip-hop refers to a style of music while Christianity is his faith/life. He seems to feel no reason to create yet another divide/category from those whom he is trying to reach (the Lost, where there's already an existing divide). After it it's not called secular hip-hop in the industry it is just hip-hop.

His music is not just for Christians it's for everyday people going threw a struggle pay attention to his music

why does he want reach records to label his music hip hop notChristian hip hop on itunes why when he preform in Christian concerts its all jesus but when he inverview by secluar magazines and video he has to dress all hard with shades on why does he look up to these secluar rappers

why does lecrae say he doesn't want to be considered a Christian rapper why does he want to fit in with the world as Christians we are misfits why does he have don cannon def jam which made drugs sex video games on his album

love idk what to say so cool

Great message

7/11/13

To follow a religion you follow a set of rules and guidelines. To follow Christ you actively seek a relationship with the creator. The murderer on the cross next to Jesus recognized he was a sinner and that Christ was the only way, and jesus said, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." tell me how a man who acknowledged Christ as Lord in his final hours, a man who didn't follow this so called Religion, gets into heaven?

toottoot grace

Have you not looked at his other music? Im only saying this to stand up for him and then I am out :). Lecrae all for God and praises him is all of his songs. Take a look at his other stuff before you say he isnt religious lol
