Lyrics
Hook
Oh you know, oh you know, oh you know, who you know
Verse 1
Oh, they say new levels new devils
I’m talking back like a rebel
Balling in my beretta
I’m at me wrong and get wetter
Yeah I used to bang, now I’m blood dipped
Dipped in water, by my father
Holy spirit all in me, I’m out here fulfilling prophecy
Verse 2
Okay, okay, okay, looks like y’all hating for the day
Okay, alright my bad, I miss you hating every day
But you won’t get up in my way
Don’t know one block, none in my praise
Okay, I’m locked in for life this ain’t never been no phase
Okay, I do it to the max, leave your haters where you at
Take it where you never been to the block
Yeah, I’m back, with my bat, and I’m black with the blue ones on
I tried to be nice, I knew that wouldn’t last long
I ain’t got no hesitate I’m out here popping off
Hook
Who you know shut down the city
Who you know, messing with me
Yeah they know that I’m Christian rap, ain’t never been shaming of that
And when it comes to the most high, they know ain’t no turning back
We out here running laps, yeah that’s facts, got the cross on my back
Couple of angels on my side
Yeah you know I’m finna ride
Trying to keep it holy, you don’t know me
Why you all on me
I ain’t got to say nothing, you see the G of phone
Verse 3
So when I enter and say passage
Spin a block I’m mashing, that’s double work, I’m crashing
Shut down a block I’m smashing
P A hat in LA, that’s family ties high fashion
Drop you out find out who capping
Jesus Jesus Jesus
You want to move, I’m out the way
We want the real, the fatal way
Hey you might catch this face today
I’m over y’all trying to profit off the church
Saying you ain’t no Christian rapper
Get the money back
Leave the church alone if you going, go

Meaning & Inspiration
This Christian rap track is a boast-style song in which the rapper answers critics and claims a place in the genre. Much of the language is street slang and braggadocio, so the Christian content is concentrated in a few clear statements rather than spread through every line.
The faith references include being "dipped in water, by my father" with the Holy Spirit inside, which points to baptism and a changed life, and the line "Yeah they know that I'm Christian rap, ain't never been shaming of that." Another line speaks of having the cross on the back and refusing to turn back from the Most High, and the name of Jesus is repeated in the final verse.
The closing lines criticise people who profit from the church and question who counts as a Christian rapper. As with much of the genre, the song mixes testimony and defiance, and some imagery is bravado rather than doctrine. Readers can weigh the lyrics with that style in mind.
