Lecrae - Nothin’ lyrics

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight

Ayo, I'll probably never be the type to
Spend two bucks on Von Dutch
But I wanna touch hearts to
Help the man up scene
I come to do what the Lord say
Got my lifestyle flipped to fit His forte
I'm up early, like moms and grit's
Getting fed, daily bread
Till my mind is Script
And my rhymes' intent
Is the point straight at the cross
Without using clever lines and hints


I know you'd probably be impressed if
I cleverly used my melodies
To share Christ without using
His name heavily but I'd rather be
Saying His name so much
You could never get me
Confused or discredit me
Cause I don't wanna do this
I used to be a Judas
It's only Christ in me that got me
Tryin' to make it through this
I'm giving up time, giving a rhyme
Cause it ain't about me getting mine
Dawg, I'm nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight

Ain't nothing sweet about me, dawg
But Christ within
Prior to that, your boy lived a life of sin
If you catch me giving up money
So folks can eat
It's really God working through me, dawg
I'm not that sweet and it ain't a bone in
My body that's naturally good
And, without the fruit of the Spirit
I'm actually hood
Basically, it ain't nothing great in me
But graciously, my God likes replacing me
With His own, characteristics
Trait's and things
The wages earned from sin
He erased them things
And gave me a new family tree
Now the Creator of creation Himself
Related to me so, if it seem like I
Shine bright in the limelight
Or I might think I'm tight man
It's a lie right
I'm gritty like J-Silas, guess my worth
Man without Christ Jesus, I'm less than dirt
I'm nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight

Cats say they're gonna change the game
This is Christian rap
Why are they barely using the Savior's name?
Got flows, saying they rhyme is tight
Christ gave us breath to spit
God gave us the mind to write
We don't deserve to shine
Nah, we're just clay
I came to lift up Christ
And not what's my name?
When I drop this, flow might sound ridiculous
With Christ smack dab in
The middle, so conspicuous, homie
Clever wordplay is not what the Word say
Christ and Him crucified, all day, e'ry day
But have it your way and blab your name
In Christ's eyes
You just trying to grab the fame
It's nothing but sound bites
Nothing but loud pipes
Speaking in vain main
We're nothing without Christ
We should use our last breath
To rep for King Jesus
You shouldn't have to know our
Name after we leave ya

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight
I appreciate the love when I rock the stage
But I don't do this for props and things
I'm nothing at all, it's Christ inside that
Got me spitting on the mic tonight
