Know The Lyrics - Boasting (Lacrea Ft. Anthony Evans)

Artist:-        Lacrea

Song:          Boasting FT. Anthony Evans

Genre:         Christian Hip Hop (RAP)

Album Chorus:    Rehab

If this life has anything to gain at all

I count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you,

Cause I need you

Can’t walk this Earth Alone

I recognize I am not my own, so before I fall

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to

Make my boasting you alone.

Verse 1:

With every breadth I take, with every heartbeat,

Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street

Every glance, every dance, every note of a song.

It is all a gift undeserved that I shouldn’t have known.

Every day that I lie, I’m just earning your judgment.

I, without the cross there is only condemnation

If Jesus wasn’t executed there’s no celebration

So in times that are good, in times that are bad.

For many times that I’ve had it all I will be glad and I will boast in the cross. I

boast in my pains.

I will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reign.

What’s my life it is not praising you.

Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit.

I do.

That count my life as any value or presence at all.

Let me finish my race, let me answer my call

Verse 2:

Tomorrow’s never promised, but it is we swear.

Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air.

God has never been obligated to give us life

If we fall for our rights, we be in hell tonight

Mere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand.

We never loved him we pushed away his pierce hands.

I rejected his love, grace, kindness and mercy.

Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty.

Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?

Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishness.

I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery.

I know the spirits purging me of everything that is hurting me.

Remove the vale from my darkened eyes.

So now every morning I open your world and the son rise.

I hope in nothing boast in nothing, only in suffering

I live to show your glory, drying to tell your story chorus.

Bridge:

Glory was solely meant for you

Doing what no one else could do.

With all I have to give, (with all I have to give)

I’ll use my life, I’ll use my lips (My lips yaa)

I’ll only glory in your word. What gift to me I don’t deserve.

I’ll live in such a way that it reflects to you, my praise.

About The Artist 

Lacrea

Lacrea, full name Lacrea Moore also known as Crea, Creezie, Creazy, Crayola, “Crazy Crea” Born October 9, 1979 in Houston, Texas, U.S. As a child, Hip Hop artist Lacrea’s world was void of good role models. Growing up with a single mom, according to Moore, his grandmother would not allow him watch rap music videos on T.V. The only rap music Lacrea was left with was that of Tupac. Lacrea developed an ability for rap himself. Yet Lacrea wrestled with insignificance, having never met his father and enduring a life of abuse and neglect. He sought to fill this void by surrounding himself with gangsters.

Before long, Lacrea was embroiled in a world filled with drugs, theft, alcohol and gang activity. “I didn’t fit in anywhere, I was just a misfit of a person; “he said ”  

Lacrea met Jesus at age nineteen. After a long time, Jesus opened his eyes to how significant he is. Jesus, the one who valued his life, cared enough to die for him. The one who is behind his music.

Lacrea won the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards, marking the first time a Christian hip hop artist received this award. On November 7, 2013.
