Chorus: Andy Mineo
I don't do the most but I do a lot

Verse 2: Lecrae
Wake 'em up! Wake 'em up!
Wake 'em up! Wake 'em up!
See 'em still sleepin', so I had to shake 'em up (shake 'em up)
I kept it too real (too real)
I wasn't fake enough (no)
My real life was a headline (headline)
Yo' real life got a deadline (deadline)
My timeline was a hashtag (yikes)
Your timeline just a hate crime
Coming in hot (yah), feelin' like Pac (yah)
Back in '94, when he took 5 shots (pop, pop)
Too much drive to ride yo' wave
Ditch my top then I'm off that lot (skrrrrrt)
Black on black on black on black on black on black on black

You don't have to ball or rap to get them racks on racks (no)
Uber poolers tryna catch my vibe and find my way (yuh, yuh)
Yeah, I know I know I'm rachet but I'm really saved
Hot sauce drippin' (drip)
Everybody wanna start dippin' (dip)
First, nobody wanna listen (shh)
Now everybody pay attention (huh!)
Now everybody pay a fee (ching!)
Even Trump gotta take a knee (sheesh)
When the horn blow y'all gon' see
Make the wall fall down like yee!

Meaning & Inspiration
"Coming In Hot," a powerful single released on July 19, 2018, immediately declares its presence with an undeniable force. Lecrae, featuring Andy Mineo, delivers an anthem of unwavering conviction, celebrating resilience and authenticity in a world often swayed by fleeting trends. The track isn't merely a hip-hop banger; it's a testament to the transformative power of faith and the resolve to live an uncompromised life, acting as a fiery call to purpose.
The song’s core message revolves around living boldly for Christ, unashamedly sharing one's transformed identity, and making a significant impact. Andy Mineo kicks off the chorus with a grounded confidence, stating, "I don't do the most but I do a lot," echoing the sentiment found in Matthew 5:16, where our good deeds are meant to shine, glorifying God, not ourselves. His "toast 'cause we still alive" speaks to a deep gratitude for perseverance through trials, a spirit beautifully captured in Psalm 118:17, which affirms life and the declaration of God's works. The provocative line, "No Big, I feel like Pac," isn't a call to emulate worldly figures but rather an assertion of raw authenticity and a willingness to speak truth unflinchingly, much like the righteous are described as bold as lions in Proverbs 28:1. This boldness is not reckless but purpose-driven, symbolized by "I shoot the shot," representing decisive action fueled by divine strength, aligning with Philippians 4:13's declaration of capability through Christ. The repeated phrase, "I'm coming in hot," captures an intense zeal and spiritual fervor, as encouraged in Romans 12:11.
Andy Mineo's verse extends this narrative of genuine living. Comparing his arrival to a "fajita," he humorously underlines his impactful presence. His commitment to "write what I live, my life in the speaker" directly addresses the Christian call to be doers of the Word, not just hearers, as James 1:22 instructs. He speaks of feeding his family and upholding responsibility, illustrating diligent stewardship, a principle highlighted in 1 Timothy 5:8. The assertion "I testify, don't need a subpoena" underscores a voluntary, Spirit-empowered witness, resonating with Acts 1:8, where believers are promised power to be Christ's witnesses. His humorous defiance against spiritual attacks—"They want my soul, better go to Korea"—demonstrates a deep conviction about the sanctity of one's soul, recalling Mark 8:36. The line, "Gotta protect Him, I made the call in just like I'm reppin'," subtly points to a fervent loyalty and commitment to God, our protector and refuge, as praised in Psalm 18:2. He acknowledges a past season of separation—"I know we left yeah, now we back together"—celebrating the return to faith or fellowship, a joyful reunion reflected in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:32. Mineo’s rejection of being "average" despite a teacher’s advice to quit rapping is a powerful affirmation of unique, God-given gifts, a concept found in Romans 12:6, where diverse gifts are given according to grace.
Lecrae's verse picks up the mantle with an urgent "Wake 'em up!" – a potent call to spiritual awakening and evangelism, echoing Ephesians 5:14 to "wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." He contrasts his own transparency, having "kept it too real," with the superficiality he observes, a plea for truth and action over mere words as admonished in 1 John 3:18. His "real life was a headline" juxtaposed with fleeting online existence implies a focus on eternal purpose over transient earthly pursuits, reminding us to work with all our heart for the Lord, as Colossians 3:23-24 instructs. Lecrae re-emphasizes the "Pac" reference, this time pointing to resilience in the face of adversity, a prophetic parallel to the persecution promised to those who live godly lives in 2 Timothy 3:12. His refusal to "ride yo' wave" signifies a steadfast commitment to his own God-ordained path, separate from worldly conformity, reflecting Romans 12:2. The impactful declaration, "Yeah, I know I know I'm rachet but I'm really saved," is a profound testament to the gospel's power—acknowledging past imperfections while unequivocally claiming redemption through grace, a truth at the heart of Romans 5:8. The imagery of "hot sauce drippin'" and "everybody wanna start dippin'" powerfully illustrates how an authentically lived faith eventually draws others in, fulfilling Isaiah 55:11's promise that God's Word will not return empty. The bold assertion that "Even Trump gotta take a knee" is a potent reminder of God's ultimate sovereignty over all earthly powers and rulers, leading to the universal acknowledgment of Christ as Lord, as foretold in Philippians 2:10-11. The verse culminates with vivid apocalyptic imagery: "When the horn blow y'all gon' see / Make the wall fall down like yee!" This evokes the trumpet call of Christ's return (1 Corinthians 15:52) and the miraculous collapse of Jericho's walls (Joshua 6:20), symbolizing divine intervention, ultimate victory, and the inevitable triumph of God's kingdom.
"Coming In Hot" transcends typical hip-hop bravado, becoming a clarion call for believers to live with unyielding purpose, authenticity, and spiritual fire. It’s an inspiring narrative woven with personal experience and profound biblical truths, urging us to shake off complacency, embrace our transformed identity, and boldly declare the unwavering power of God in a world desperately needing light. The song is a masterful blend of cultural relevance and timeless biblical wisdom, leaving a lasting impression and igniting a passion for living a life "hot" with divine purpose.
