Meaning & Inspiration
Canon’s track “Trippen,” found on his 2014 album *Loose Canon, Vol. 2*, is a vibrant and unapologetic declaration of spiritual liberation and uninhibited faith. The song directly confronts the judgment and labels that others may attempt to place on a believer who is living boldly in their walk with God. The core message revolves around a playful yet profound understanding of what it means to be truly free in Christ, to the point where it might appear "crazy" or "disgraceful" to those who still operate under the constraints of the world. Canon’s assertion that he's “nothin’ you can label” unless it’s with faithfulness speaks to the heart of a redeemed identity found in God’s grace, not in human categorization. This freedom is a gift, a joy the enemy actively tries to steal, as he laments the devil’s attempts to “confiscate” his joy, echoing sentiments found in John 10:10 where Jesus states the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, but He has come to give abundant life. The repeated phrase "act a donkey on 'em" is a metaphor for behaving without the world’s inhibitions, often perceived as foolishness from an earthly perspective. This concept aligns with Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 1:27-28, where God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the strong. The verses paint vivid pictures of this uninhibited freedom, like playfully intruding and consuming, symbolizing a full embrace of God’s provision and a disregard for worldly scarcity or etiquette. The imagery of being a "trouble maker" or "class clown" is recontextualized not as rebellion against authority, but as a joyful departure from the mundane and a playful disruption of stagnant spiritual life, much like the prophets of old who often acted in unconventional ways to deliver God’s message. The song ultimately encourages listeners to shed the fear of man and embrace the joyous, sometimes wild, freedom that comes with a surrendered life to Christ, finding validation not in external approval but in the knowledge that their Heavenly Father is pleased, just as Canon expresses his "mommy and daddy happy that younger child made it," but more profoundly, his spiritual Father’s approval. This embrace of a faith that looks "trippen" to the world is, in fact, a testament to stepping out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary power of God.
