Lecrae - Texas Pete Lyrics

Texas Pete Lyrics

Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
'Cause I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete
Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
But I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete

In my slab with the Bible on the dash when I creep
Hit my knees before I hit the streets
To make them ends meet
I'm a lone star, baby, you know Texas made a G
And you know I set the bar
Hit that church in Easter pink
Hold it down when you come around
Gotta keep it solid, I'm the dream like Hakeem
Watch me take it off like a rocket, boy, stop it
We been repping 116, how could you doubt it?
We been preaching 'fore we even had a dollar in our pockets
Been a prophet when I speak into your life it ain't for profit
It's to lead you to the light, plug ya to the power socket
Coming down like a deacon with the good book in my hand
Arm hanging out the window slow and loud when it jam

Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
'Cause I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete
Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
But I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete

Look, I've been doing this since Big Moe was alive rapping 'bout the bar, baby
You won't catch me at the bar, baby
Galleria, second floor, maybe
Riding with my top down, listen to my Jesus Muzik, still a vibe, ain't it?
3rd Ward, South Dallas, Cedar Hill
Mo city up to Brookhaven
I was popping seals, had to stop and heal (that's right)
I can't love the money, I'm just copping feels
My weapons ain't carnal, but my opps are real
Keep a Houston Rocket with me while I got the wheel
I keep the money on the dresser, drive me a Tesla
Married me a bad little mama out of Texas
We still unashamed even when they call us extra
Top-notch faith get you the most, not the lesser

Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
'Cause I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete

Yeah, out now, out here with my dawgs when I'm caught up
Oh no, miss me with that flows, count that cost up
Tell 'em they trippin', tell 'em I got it, he gave me vision
I went all over, all over the globe to follow the mission
Feel like Dirk back in '11, beat that Heat, headed to Heaven
Don't know why they call me reverend, engine rev'ing
From Dallas up to Philly, then DC, just blazing trail
ATL to Dallas, Dallas back to ATL
But you can't take that Texas out that boy, boy can't you tell?
Tell 'em, "I smell fire floating in the air, I can't inhale"
Got His blessings in my skeleton, they say that boy eloquent
I just made it my business to depend on His benevolence

Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
But I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete
Riding slow in my Cadillac
Slidin' through the street
Hope them boys don't double cross
But I keep my Jesus piece
Feel like Shaq in '03, boy
Ain't no stopping me
We keep it hot, yeah we keep it hot
Just like Texas Pete


Tedashii, Trip Lee — Texas Pete (Official Audio) ft. Lecrae

Texas Pete Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Released on July 19, 2023, "Texas Pete" by Lecrae, featuring Tedashii and Trip Lee, immediately brings together three voices synonymous with perseverance and authenticity within faith-based hip-hop. The song isn't merely a musical track; it's a sonic narrative exploring themes of enduring heat, pressure, and challenges – much like the intensity implied by its title. While not detailing one specific linear story, the artists collectively paint a picture of navigating difficult circumstances, staying grounded in their convictions despite external pressures, and finding strength not in their own abilities, but through a deeper source. It speaks to the reality that a life of purpose, especially one rooted in faith, often involves facing trials that test resilience, refine character, and expose what truly matters.

The analysis of "Texas Pete" reveals a profound reflection on the refining process inherent in walking a path of faith. The artists rap about enduring hardship, facing opposition, and the internal and external heat that life brings. This aligns powerfully with biblical concepts of trials as instruments of growth and purification. James 1:2-4 encourages approaching trials with joy, understanding that the testing of faith produces steadfastness, leading to completeness. Similarly, 1 Peter 1:6-7 speaks of grieving through various trials, so that the tested genuineness of faith—more precious than perishable gold refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. The "Texas Pete" intensity can be seen as that fire, burning away impurities and strengthening what remains. The song’s message resonates with the truth that difficulties are not arbitrary suffering but often serve a divine purpose, shaping individuals and proving the strength of their foundation. It’s an encouraging reminder that enduring through these fiery moments is part of the journey toward maturity and demonstrates the faithfulness that is required and enabled by grace. The collective voice of Lecrae, Tedashii, and Trip Lee underscores a shared experience of navigating complex realities, offering not just personal anecdotes of struggle, but a declaration of where their true strength lies when the pressure is on, echoing the sentiment of Philippians 4:11-13, finding contentment and ability in Christ regardless of circumstances. This song stands as a testament to the refining power of trials and the unwavering hope found in faith, serving as an anthem for anyone facing their own intense moments, reminding them that persistence through pressure forges something valuable and enduring.
