Nothin' - Lecrae

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don’t do this for props and things

I’m nothing at all, it’s Christ inside that

Got me spitting on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don’t do this for props and things

I’m nothing at all, it’s Christ inside that

Got me spitting on the mic tonight

Ayo, I’ll probably never be the type to spend two bucks on Von Dutch

But I wanna touch hearts to help the man up scene

I come to do what the Lord say

Got my lifestyle flipped to fit His forte

I’m up early, like moms and grits

Getting fed, daily bread, till my mind is Script

And my rhymes' intent

Is the point straight at the cross

Without using clever lines and hints

I know you’d probably be impressed if I cleverly used my melodies

To share Christ without using His name heavily

But I’d rather be

Saying His name so much, you could never get me confused or discredit me

Cause I don’t wanna do this, I used to be a Judas

It’s only Christ in me that got me tryin' to make it through this

I’m giving up time, giving a rhyme

Cause it ain’t about me getting mine

Dawg, I’m nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don’t do this for props and things

I’m nothing at all, it’s Christ inside that

Got me spitting on the mic tonight

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

Ain’t nothing sweet about me, dawg, but Christ within

Prior to that, your boy lived a life of sin

If you catch me giving up money, so folks can eat

It’s really God working through me, dawg, I’m not that sweet

And it ain’t a bone in my body that’s naturally good

And, without the fruit of the Spirit, I’m actually hood

Basically, it ain’t nothing great in me

But graciously, my God likes replacing me

With His own, characteristics, traits and things

The wages earned from sin, He erased them things

And gave me a new family tree

Now the Creator of creation Himself, related to me

So, if it seem like I shine bright in the limelight

Or I might think I’m tight man, it’s a lie right

I’m gritty like J-Silas, guess my worth

Man without Christ Jesus, I’m less than dirt

I’m nothing

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don’t do this for props and things

I’m nothing at all, it’s Christ inside that

Cats say they’re gonna change the game

This is Christian rap

Why are they barely using the Savior’s name?

Got flows, saying they rhyme is tight

Christ gave us breath to spit

God gave us the mind to write

We don’t deserve to shine

Nah, we’re just clay

I came to lift up Christ, and not what’s my name?

When I drop this, flow might sound ridiculous

With Christ smack dab in the middle, so conspicuous, homie

Clever wordplay is not what the Word say

Christ and Him crucified, all day, e’ry day

But have it your way and blab your name

In Christ’s eyes, you just trying to grab the fame

It’s nothing but sound bites, nothing but loud pipes

Speaking in vain main, we’re nothing without Christ

We should use our last breath to rep for King Jesus

You shouldn’t have to know our name after we leave ya

I appreciate the love when I rock the stage

But I don’t do this for props and things

I’m nothing at all, it’s Christ inside that

Got me spitting on the mic tonight
