I know you trippin' off of this production
To preach Jesus and promote zion
To claim the death and resurrection
Go get the bible if you think I am lyin'
'Bout to take over the nation
Sinners become a new creation
To spread the gospel is my mission
Taking you to school and pay tuition
Look we done took over the malls
We're everywhere
Going up and down the school halls
We're everywhere
We done took over the courts
We're everywhere
We done took over the sports
We're everywhere
We drive the biggest cars
We're everywhere
We are the biggest stars
We're everywhere
We wear the baddest clothes
We're everywhere
And we owning all of the stores
We're everywhere
Everywhere I go let go I'm a Christian
(Now here we go)
I got the boldness of a lion
Bite the devil's neck and he go home cryin'
Get it loud in every single station
Representin' every situation
(here we go)
Let's work the preparation
Everybody get in your position
Let me see you walk with a distinction
But beware of all of the distraction
We done took over the malls
We're everywhere
Going up and down the school halls
We're everywhere
We done took over the courts
We're everywhere
We done took over the sports
We're everywhere
We drive the biggest cars
We're everywhere
We are the biggest stars
We're everywhere
We wear the finest clothes
We're everywhere
And we owning all of the stores
Everywhere I go let go I'm a Christian
We in tha hoods now
We in the school halls
We on the tv
We on the radio
Everywhere I go everywhere I go Everywhere I go let go
Everywhere I go everywhere I go Everywhere I go let go
Everywhere I go let go Everywhere I go let go
Everywhere I go everywhere I go Everywhere I go let go
Everywhere I go let go I'm a Christian...

"I know you trippin' off of this production" - This line sets the tone for the song, suggesting that the listener will be surprised by the powerful message of Christian influence embedded in modern music production.
"To preach Jesus and promote zion" - It refers to the core mission of spreading the gospel and promoting the kingdom of God, drawing from the biblical concept of Zion as a metaphor for God's spiritual kingdom.
"Everywhere I go let go I'm a Christian" - This recurring line emphasizes the artist's commitment to showcasing his faith openly and proudly in every aspect of his life, regardless of the setting.
"We done took over the malls...school halls...courts...sports" - These lines illustrate the widespread presence of Christians in various societal domains, challenging the notion that faith is confined to personal or private spheres.
Matthew 5:14-16 - "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." This passage aligns with the song's theme of Christians being visible and influential in society.
Philippians 2:15 - "That you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world." Similar to the Matthew passage, this verse emphasizes the distinctive presence of Christians in the world.
1 Peter 2:9 - "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
