John Reuben - Secular Music lyrics
[John Reuben - Secular Music lyrics]
Greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it i said it
I'm the greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it i said it
And I was always there for you
When you couldn't listen to secular music
Secular music
And I would play your youth group
The alternative to secular music
Secular music
Sent away for pre date to
Be raised by the fellowship
I guess it takes a village willing
To live off the grid
Lost on me is your pop culture reference
Well I had no choice but to be alternative
Always had a birds-eye view from the pew
Always knew it's an odd place
To try and make your power moves
How you gonna front when the
Church nursery's your green room
And the set time's early cause
The kids got curfews?
We turned these absurdities into art
Every industry's got an apple cart
But these were the days
When distribution meant
The physical packages had to be
Boxed sealed and shipped
So I got a label and then got labeled
But, I'm grateful cause that label made
It capable to travel the globe
And talk to the faithful
Never know where a song might take you
And I was always there for you
When you couldn't listen to secular music
Secular music
And I would play your youth group
The alternative to secular music
Secular music
Well I never knew a prophet who was in style
Dress it up and rebrand the profile
And I never knew an emcee
Who could take the stage
Throw their hands up towards the heavens
And not take the praise and if the cost of
Being relevant is two-faced
Maybe stop taking money out
The offering plate
Can't complain about them tables that
Need to be turned
If them same tables done sold your merch
Well from the Gospel came the
Blues introduced us to
And ever since we've been trying to figure
Out our point of view with popular music
Popular music okay, white boy
You can make 'em laugh and maybe
Earn a spot as the opening act
You could spend your whole career trying
To prove you're not whack
For a pat on the back -
Not bad for Christian rap
I'm the greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it i said it
I'm the greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it i said it
I'm the greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it not to be confused with the
Greatest rapper who happens to be a Christian
Cause there's too many of them to win
There I said it i said it
I'm the greatest Christian rapper ever
There I said it i said it
And I was always there for you
When you couldn't listen to secular music
Secular music
And I would play your youth group
The alternative to secular music
Secular music
Sent away for pre date to
Be raised by the fellowship
I guess it takes a village willing
To live off the grid
Lost on me is your pop culture reference
Well I had no choice but to be alternative
Always had a birds-eye view from the pew
Always knew it's an odd place
