In the off chance you read this Lecrae, I just wanted to say thank you for writing and performing this song. It’s is an absolute stand out in the album. Incredibly personal and honest, and for me was profoundly powerful. When it comes to doubts I’ve felt very similar ways to what you’ve described through this year, even though the causes of them have been different, and am very thankful for the way you expressed that feeling in this song. I’m sure you’d agree that it’s so good to know we have a God who loves and cares for us even when we’re not so sure about our faith ourselves. Praying that God would use this song in the lives of others as well.
Lecrae your music is literally what brought me back to Jesus, no sermon no alter call, it was your authenticity and vulnerability. Never stop being you 😢
I remember when he posted about Michael Brown and he got clowned on by people in the comments. Had no idea it had impacted him like this. Props to Lecrae for keeping it real and being able to share his struggles with us. Just saw him last night and this song just hit differently live. Truly a man of God.
This song....This song....sometimes we may think we know where we are going and sometimes times we may not know where we are going but when Jesus leads the way, we're not going wrong!!
THIS SONG JUST TOUHED EVERYTHING. I'M CRYING. I WENT THROUGH DECONSTRUCTION, STILL RECONSTRUCTING. I DIDN'T DEAL WITH RACIAL TRAUMA, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS EXACTLY WHERE I'VE BEEN
It’s been years since I’ve felt this way. My name is Jermaine. I’m battling narcissism, passive aggressiveness, and a lot more. The devil has had control of me for a long time. I finally met the woman of my dreams, doing everything in the book to show me that she’s for me and only me. She’s truly an angel from heaven. We have a beautiful daughter that came out of this. But my ways ran her away. This was all last night. Last night was my first time hearing this. I haven’t cried and not cared who sees me cry or how I feel for a long time…. Until last night. While in the Uber I cried my eyes out, heart breaking, losing my entire existence within that moment. I read the Bible for real today. I started with Matthew. I just want to say I was lost, every word in this song speaks everything that I couldn’t speak since I started losing myself. 2017 was the year… I’m sending this part for you Cynthia. I love you, I haven’t been myself and you never got to see who I truly was because I wasn’t the man who you truly needed. I’m sorry for not being there when you needed me, not treasuring your existence…. ^^^ It’s been 10 minutes since I wrote that compared to this message. Baby I’m heartbroken thinking because it was suppose to be us but I messed it up. God if you give me one more chance with her I’ll do it right forever. But if not, I pray for her future and know you will give her the man she needed from you. ^ My deconstruction has ended, my reconstruction is now beginning. God help me.
🔥🔥🔥!!! I don't think the church really knows or understands the destruction they are doing to the body. And in some way, shape, or form, we all can relate to this song.
“Nothing matters ain’t no Eve ain’t no Adam I’m just atoms where the addys let me at em” - Lecrae That’s one of the greatest play on words I have ever heard. Salute!
Deconstruction and Journey...WHOA!! I applaud 👏🏾 you and I am so Thankful to for your testimony because GOD, in His Awesomeness is doing the same for me!! In JESUS Name 💐
How many of us have been hurt by the church?! When I needed my fellow Christians the most they weren't there for me. I won't forget. Hurts. Listening to this song is a comfort to me.
if you're honest before God, you have also left others and hurt them intentionally or not. the apostle Paul didi not tell even the most horrible church back then - in Corinth - to leave the church. if you or Lecrae don't like this or that church, there are always other churches. it's impossible all churches and all believers suck but Lecrae or you or i are the only good, right? :D
At the end of the day jesus is the head of the church so when you speak against the church you're speaking against God, Don't blame it on the whole church its the few who hurted you so stop saying the church did this that to me a few leaders or pastors doesn't mean the whole church. God bless🙏🏼
It was people that hurt me it wasn’t God though,I let the church trauma turn into a God wound 🙌🏾 I really felt this😩 may our church traumas never turn into a God wound. Thank you for this song! God bless you!
This song hits home for me because I too went through a phase of deconstruction and went totally off the rails into a life of depression, drug abuse, sexual sin, alcoholism, and absolute evil. I then began researching other religions and types of spiritualities. As I was doing research to prove God’s non-existence, all of what I studied pointed me right back to the existence of Jesus and proof that the events in the Bible factually occurred. I love Jesus so much! I thank Him for using Lecrae to drop such an inspiring song.
Lecrae, I've been rocking with you ever since I became a Christian at the age of 12.5 back in 07 and have been following you ever since. I got into reading more and learning more about God through your music as a kid through high school and even as a young man when I joined the Air Force in 2012. I'm finishing up Bible college now and I just wanted to say you have been the best big brother I never had. I love you bro, and your music has been a light of inspiration for me since I was a kid. Your honesty gives me the green light to talk about the issues you mention in your albums, justice, mental health, marriage and everything in between. You're not alone brother and you got a whole clique rolling hard with you as you follow Christ. Grace and peace to you bro, this is just the beginning.
Over here in the UK I listen to the whole album every single day on my way to work and on my way back home from work I don't even skip a single song.This brother Lecrae is anointed by God indeed.
This song hit me so deep. From the beat, to the vocals in the background, to the tone of Lecrae's voice, and don't forget the words. I'm at work tearing to up to this song. Continue to be strong Lecrae. And anyone else who sees this I hope that you continue to be strong as well. I hope that you all make it through the rain.
My Lecrae 😢 Lecrae is the bravest soul! His lyrics are more than lyrics! ❤❤Restored album changed my life and took me out from a pit of depression! Lecrae gave me all the words I couldn’t speak and strengthened my faith in God! We love you Lecrae and we’ll keep praying for you!
I’m looking for the comments from the people who slandered this man. Cause where are the apologies? Now everyone is a fan, but soooo many beat this man down 😮💨 make the apology as loud as the audacity! Thank you Lecrae for this song. I’ve been through my own journey of deconstruction for a couple of years now. I have no desire to return to Christianity, but I know that it was people and not God. I’ve always supported you and I’m so glad you’re continuing to speak your truth. ❤️
THEY may understand now, like the crazy Trump mess when so many in my family and those I thought knew Jesus start stating things that would have NEVER come out of their mouth a few years back. Then some apparently it was always there. Discernment wasn't there. But after the 6th, they either saw truth or they are in a cloud of deceit. I pray God will pull them back. I still knew they wouldn't apologize. Too hard for some to accept how wrong they were..
@@bethprather9241 In reverse, I lost the majority of my friends, was at odds with my coworkers, had to hide it from my neighbors, and told to leave the house I grew up in after an argument- all because of my support for Trump… What exactly do you want your family to apologize for?
@@christopherm6725 Damage in the world? So not starting any new wars and arguably the most active in removing the US from military conflicts = World destroyer to you?🧐 EVERY Republican uses evangelical voters for political gain. It’s called supporting the side that is PRO-LIFE! The goblins insisting it’s a right to kill their baby is the persuasive factor there. And per the midterms, it was actually a political impairment. Seek help for your TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Your determination to hate him only reflects the influence of propaganda that has melted your independent thought to a hive minded/ indoctrinated perspective. I actually used to hold your views, I remember in 2016 after hearing Trump won being like “Noooo!!!😫” but in retrospect- I had no validation for why I felt that way, yet I was so confident in disliking him… During lockdowns I started to notice the red flags and hypocrisies. I began watching full clips and reading entire articles of how each side reported. It quickly became apparent that the information being provided in mass was severely manipulated. Every challenging opinion was strictly forbidden. The consorted effort to silence dissent was undeniable. I tried to start having reasonable conversations and it was immediately apparent that they were unwelcome. In fact- I was ostracized, my character attacked, and any reply to a simple question was responded to with such visceral- it was unnatural. Mind you, this treatment was from my fellow “tolerant”, “accepting”, and “open minded” democrats. I came across the #walkaway campaign and realized I had been on the wrong side all along. I’m not even religious, but recognized the bigger picture of the battle of good vs. evil upon us & decided to stand with Christians. Politicians on both sides are corrupt or compromised. “We the people” is what will hold our country together. The divisiveness is designed by the left. The conservatives & people of faith are what is needed for the pendulum to swing back hard enough. They suck at this. Trump is the only one who has proven himself to be capable to headway that path. It is necessary. Be a part of the great awakening, or don’t. You are lost, but the damage isn’t irreparable… yet.🙏🇺🇸✌️
Wow Crae this Project is truly a masterpiece! Lyricism, production all the features hit! Best of all to me this is the most Christ explicit and theologically astute projects he's released since maybe Rebel! Man I'm encouraged. This track was super needed during this time of mass exodus from the Church. #salute
I can relate so much to this song. And I don’t doubt any of what you’re saying. I’ve followed you for a while and I’ve absolutely detested the way fellow Christian’s have treated you. I’m glad you’re getting thru it with God
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑👑💖💖💖🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💕💕💕 So Real & So Liberating !! All I could do is lift my hands by the end of this song 🔥💖🙌🏾Glory to God for your Re-Construction & for us ALL who want to worship God (Jesus Christ) in Spirit and in Truth, HIS TRUTH Not Religion‼️ Praying for you 🙏🏾 👑💕 and may blinded eyes be opened to the truth by hearing the message in this song 🕊💖
Blessings to you my man to reveal to the world that our light and momentary afflictions builds up for us an eternal weight in glory that cannot be taken or tarnished or torn down not for any reason. May you continue to have the courage to be vulnerable in your musical giftings that help the heal the ones that hear it. In Jesus's power and awesome name🔥🔥🔥 Amen!!!👊🏾🙏🏾
This is another level Crae, so powerful, thank you Lecrae , for getting so personal and vulnerable, this is the church, a bunch of imperfect people, but rescued by a perfect God
Lecrae - Deconstruction LYRICS Find your way, find your way Find your way, find your way Find your way back home No, time won't take too long, put it behind you You can still find your way, find your way Find your way, find your way Find your way back home When you feel too far gone He can still find you [Verse] I deconstructed long before people knew what to call it I know that's scary to some folks, so hold on, let me pause it Take you back to how it started, maybe you relate Maybe you ain't never met me, but you know my pain Focused on Jesus in Atlanta, fresh from Tennessee Wasn't legalistic, catch me with a cup of Hennessey I would speak at churches, hang with leaders and such You know, Judah, Piper, and Keller, Tony Evans was clutch I was so involved, never thought that I could fall, y'all Right before the fall of 2015, I was all off It involved killing Michael Brown, had me feeling down Tweeted 'bout it, Christians call me clown, I was losing ground And Voddie was a hero of mine, met with him plenty times This time, when he spoke, it cut me deeper than I realized Doubled-down, spoke about my pain, I was met with blame "Shame on you, 'Crae, stop crying, get back to Jesus' name" Cut me deep, I was losing sleep, "God, ain't these Your sheep?" Why they hate me like they do? Maybe grace is really cheap Maybe this is all a lie, they don't really love me They just love it when I say the things they wanna hear in public They're like following they God mean turnin' on Black people Is Black evil? Why do they hate and attack people? I'm vulnerable and cautious, I'm reading Baldwin Ta-Nehisi got me thinking, now I'm going all in I ain't know if God was real no mo' Every day we gettin' killed and I can't deal no mo' I started slipping in the darkness, I'm feeling heartless Christians got me traumatized, I don't know who God is Drinking liquor for my therapy, and smoking Mary tree Maybe I should get divorced, I don't know why she married me What's the purpose? What's the point? Nothing matters, I'm just matter, I'm just atoms Ain't no Eve and ain't no Adam Where the Xannies? Let me at 'em I was floating in confusion until I dropped Woke up in a clinical depression, then it all stopped Sinnin' like Saul 'til I hit Damascus God knocked me off the mule 'fore I hit the casket Heard a faint voice calling me late, I couldn't sleep It said, "'Crae I know you love Me, I need you to feed My sheep" Tears streaming as I weep, felt I heard the Lord speak I've been running from You, but You never ran away from me It was people that hurt me, it wasn't God, though I let the church trauma turn into a God wound I learned the western world has twisted up the Scriptures, so when I re-enlisted I learned the eastern context the way that Jesus meant it My peace has been cemented, my soul has been re-lifted My deconstruction ended, reconstruction is beginning My peace has been cemented, my soul has been re-lifted My deconstruction ended, reconstruction is beginning [Chorus] Find your way, find your way Find your way, find your way Find your way back home No, time won't take too long, put it behind you You can still find your way, find your way Find your way, find your way Find your way back home When you feel too far gone He can still find you
Lecrae, I have loved your music for years. Thank you for showing your humanity. . . This song brought me to tears. . . People don't realize how painful it is for Black men constantly seeing on the news that another Black man has been murdered. . . Imagine what this does to their self image. . . It is in direct conflict with the Bible that tells that we are all created in God's image. . . Let's remember that Jesus hates racism. . . Thank you again for this song, Lecrae.
This is so powerful. My soul needed this more than you know. I struggled as Christian family members told me it wasn't worth the risk to work with youth in Ferguson before and during the Michael Brown tragedy. They were coming up with insane stories. I knew these kids. We'd been in the community since 2013. We drove down to drop kids back home from youth group during the riots. Roads blocked and officers with rifles in their arms. My faith shook again during covid watching the church be unloving to helpless and immunocompromised community. A community which I am a part of. I've felt the low of not knowing if I could be lumped into this category of Christians. So this song hits me right where I needed it.
Spent nearly two years in jail. Lost my career. Lost my marriage. Almost lost my son. Never lost my future. Never forgotten by Jesus. "Knocked me off my mule before I hit my casket" *PRAISE HIM*
Best artist of all time. They way he so honestly addresses world problems (deep end) (still in America) (broke) while grappling with personal struggles is beautiful
Thank you Crae for sharing this part of your journey publicly. I’m thankful for how you model the ups and downs of your pursuit of God and his relentless pursuit of you. Keep running the race.
Lecrae is a deep artist. CC4 is so related. He actually inspires me a lot in Music. If you ever get the time, please check out this song and be blessed th-cam.com/video/J4AC2K6Ga2o/w-d-xo.html
Continue to listen to Lecrae if you want to, he's on the same road of apostate, this man is not leading you to CHRIST, but away from Him !!! When do the West teach you about Holy Scriptures? Please 🙏 listen to the Spirit of GOD, for HE is the Spirit of truth,
Thank you for this God bless you. Ive been struggling a lot lately and this album was the water redirect I needed its getting dark out in this world its getting harder to express the light I just appreciate these littlw reminders of the life god gives.
So many Christians misrepresent the body of Christ that we all go through deconstruction. however not everyone can reconstruct themselves and continue to TRUST IN GOD. I am glad Lecrae was able to tell his story through this song. It can truly change lives and inspire others.
Thank you for being raw on this one.🙏🏾God bless you and your family. If we can't show mercy and love to our brothers and sisters when they fall. How will the world know Jesus love is true🙏🏾
Second verse hit home. I cry every time. We became one in that verse. praise God he gave us that moment of clarity and most important WE HEARD IT. 🙏🙌 thank you I love you brother.
Crae if you ever see this keep it up. I love your music & have since 2018. I saw some of your crew live in 2015 or 2016 at winter-jam. Love what you're doing. Keep up God's work because there's very few who will actually do it. More than any song the Bible tells us to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". I'm a Baptist & I love what you're doing. Though people judge me every day there's no place I'd rather be than serving God where he needs me. As a musician myself for 8 or 9 years I get it. People like you, fK&C, and KB made me love it. People need you man. Thank you so much for releasing this.
Used to watch on another channel & Spotify but this is my music place now. Though I'm listening to a lots of big artists now to learn I always got mad respect for ya'll. If I don't listen immediately just know I always will listen at some point. Thank you all for the work you're doing.
'And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6 Love you, brother.
I haven't had an experience like this with any album no joke. This was a literal experience and I can see the idea behind the layout of it and I think its perfect Praise God i love yall man
Wow.. I’m listening to CC4 and just heard this and really brought me to tears with his raw emotion, honesty and yes I can relate!.. this the one Lecrae!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow!!!! Young brother; Thank you very much. Iam 59 and Yahweh used these lyrics to minister deeply to me . May our Elohim continue to use you and increase you and your family
I would like to personally and publicly apologize. At one point I was upset with the way you were not giving the church some credit without understanding the pain you were going through. It wasn't until I saw Trump get the mantle from the Evangelical Church that I started seeing the racism and christian nationalism within the body of Christ. Thank you for helping me deconstruct as I continue building a strong faith in God. Godspeed brother!
Well God appointed Him that is for sure, but to say that Trump is a servant is totally off. As for Lecrae's point I can assure you they don't see eye to eye on this one. Not that Lecrae wants Biden either. But you need to do more research about Christian Nationalism @@travisdoan1068
@@travisdoan1068Trump is polar opposite to everything Jesus stands for. It grieves me that many people have traded the credibility of their witness for temporary power.
Shout out to crae for this song. Showing your vulnerability on this song is commendable and worthy of emulation. May God continue to lead you in the path of righteousness.
Man!!! This one is a hit...your lifestyle has been my inspiration. It's people that hurt me not God... I Am thankful God led me to love your music. Amen
IT's really true that once you go through deconstruction (or I'd rather call it disentangle your beliefs - a disconnect with reality and what you say you believe), you can't ever really be the same.
In the off chance you read this Lecrae, I just wanted to say thank you for writing and performing this song. It’s is an absolute stand out in the album.

Discovered this song yesterday(20 Sept 2024) and i havent played another song since, thank God for leading me here
THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS FIREEE
This and "Good Lord" was my fave tracks. What about you?
@@dankxng Totally that was my second fav, my first is pry the freestyle or misconceptions , they were nostalgic and just pure lecrae
This a deconstruction of how he feels and what he went through. Hurts my heart, but an amazing and powerful song nonetheless.
My peace has been cemented, my soul has been relifted ,My deconstruction ended, reconstruction is beginning 🎹🎷🎷🎻🎻

Thank you for this
ooh I always thought it said "too far gone" 🙈
@@malegazeofficial I'm pretty sure it does say too far gone.
It's crazy how what people say even Christians can affect a person. God is good though, and I am glad he's using you Crae.

It’s been years since I’ve felt this way.
My name is Jermaine. I’m battling narcissism, passive aggressiveness, and a lot more. The devil has had control of me for a long time.

It’s been 10 minutes since I wrote that compared to this message. Baby I’m heartbroken thinking because it was suppose to be us but I messed it up.

Best of all to me this is the most Christ explicit and theologically astute projects he's released since maybe Rebel! Man I'm encouraged. This track was super needed during this time of mass exodus from the Church. #salute
Amazing!! If someone says Lecrae doesn’t rap about Jesus anymore they obviously not listening to his music anymore.
LECRAE! In so many words this is my story! Been running from God the last 10yrs and He brought me back radically!! Thanks for being transparent!!
I can relate so much to this song. And I don’t doubt any of what you’re saying. I’ve followed you for a while and I’ve absolutely detested the way fellow Christian’s have treated you. I’m glad you’re getting thru it with God
I'm in tears and wasn't expecting this. Thank you God. You don't leave us..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑👑💖💖💖🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💕💕💕 So Real & So Liberating !! All I could do is lift my hands by the end of this song 🔥💖🙌🏾Glory to God for your Re-Construction & for us ALL who want to worship God (Jesus Christ) in Spirit and in Truth, HIS TRUTH Not Religion‼️ Praying for you 🙏🏾 👑💕 and may blinded eyes be opened to the truth by hearing the message in this song 🕊💖
Reminds me of "Lost My Way" circa CC2. We all just leading each other home, fam. We are all we got.
The best album you have released in a long time. That’s the lecrae we been missin bro, Dude you NAILED IT!!! Praise Jesus! Proud of you crae
Blessings to you my man to reveal to the world that our light and momentary afflictions builds up for us an eternal weight in glory that cannot be taken or tarnished or torn down not for any reason. May you continue to have the courage to be vulnerable in your musical giftings that help the heal the ones that hear it. In Jesus's power and awesome name🔥🔥🔥 Amen!!!👊🏾🙏🏾
It's unfortunate what happened, but appreciate your courage for sharing this. Many can identify but few make it back. Praying for you brother 🙏🏽
Felt this on so many levels.
This is another level Crae, so powerful, thank you Lecrae , for getting so personal and vulnerable, this is the church, a bunch of imperfect people, but rescued by a perfect God
I feel like God was directly speaking to me through this song 🥹😭
one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
Great job Lecrae..this whole album is 🔥 fire
How does he do that?! This song is his whole book in one take. Grateful for the boldness and testimony!
Man this story blew me away🤧😫. Speechless

Lecrae - Deconstruction
LYRICS
Find your way, find your way
Find your way, find your way
Find your way back home
No, time won't take too long, put it behind you
You can still find your way, find your way
Find your way, find your way
Find your way back home
When you feel too far gone
He can still find you
[Verse]
I deconstructed long before people knew what to call it
I know that's scary to some folks, so hold on, let me pause it
Take you back to how it started, maybe you relate
Maybe you ain't never met me, but you know my pain
Focused on Jesus in Atlanta, fresh from Tennessee
Wasn't legalistic, catch me with a cup of Hennessey
I would speak at churches, hang with leaders and such
You know, Judah, Piper, and Keller, Tony Evans was clutch
I was so involved, never thought that I could fall, y'all
Right before the fall of 2015, I was all off
It involved killing Michael Brown, had me feeling down
Tweeted 'bout it, Christians call me clown, I was losing ground
And Voddie was a hero of mine, met with him plenty times
This time, when he spoke, it cut me deeper than I realized
Doubled-down, spoke about my pain, I was met with blame
"Shame on you, 'Crae, stop crying, get back to Jesus' name"
Cut me deep, I was losing sleep, "God, ain't these Your sheep?"
Why they hate me like they do? Maybe grace is really cheap
Maybe this is all a lie, they don't really love me
They just love it when I say the things they wanna hear in public
They're like following they God mean turnin' on Black people
Is Black evil? Why do they hate and attack people?
I'm vulnerable and cautious, I'm reading Baldwin
Ta-Nehisi got me thinking, now I'm going all in
I ain't know if God was real no mo'
Every day we gettin' killed and I can't deal no mo'
I started slipping in the darkness, I'm feeling heartless
Christians got me traumatized, I don't know who God is
Drinking liquor for my therapy, and smoking Mary tree
Maybe I should get divorced, I don't know why she married me
What's the purpose? What's the point?
Nothing matters, I'm just matter, I'm just atoms
Ain't no Eve and ain't no Adam
Where the Xannies? Let me at 'em
I was floating in confusion until I dropped
Woke up in a clinical depression, then it all stopped
Sinnin' like Saul 'til I hit Damascus
God knocked me off the mule 'fore I hit the casket
Heard a faint voice calling me late, I couldn't sleep
It said, "'Crae I know you love Me, I need you to feed My sheep"
Tears streaming as I weep, felt I heard the Lord speak
I've been running from You, but You never ran away from me
It was people that hurt me, it wasn't God, though
I let the church trauma turn into a God wound
I learned the western world has twisted up the Scriptures, so when I re-enlisted
I learned the eastern context the way that Jesus meant it
My peace has been cemented, my soul has been re-lifted
My deconstruction ended, reconstruction is beginning
My peace has been cemented, my soul has been re-lifted
My deconstruction ended, reconstruction is beginning
[Chorus]
Find your way, find your way
Find your way, find your way
Find your way back home
No, time won't take too long, put it behind you
You can still find your way, find your way
Find your way, find your way
Find your way back home
When you feel too far gone
He can still find you
Thank you 💕
Thank you so much it was very helpful to have these, God bless!
👍🏾
Thank you! You made it simple to catch up
👍♥️
Lecrae, I have loved your music for years. Thank you for showing your humanity. . . This song brought me to tears. . . People don't realize how painful it is for Black men constantly seeing on the news that another Black man has been murdered. . . Imagine what this does to their self image. . . It is in direct conflict with the Bible that tells that we are all created in God's image. . . Let's remember that Jesus hates racism. . . Thank you again for this song, Lecrae.
This is so powerful. My soul needed this more than you know. I struggled as Christian family members told me it wasn't worth the risk to work with youth in Ferguson before and during the Michael Brown tragedy. They were coming up with insane stories. I knew these kids. We'd been in the community since 2013. We drove down to drop kids back home from youth group during the riots. Roads blocked and officers with rifles in their arms. My faith shook again during covid watching the church be unloving to helpless and immunocompromised community. A community which I am a part of. I've felt the low of not knowing if I could be lumped into this category of Christians. So this song hits me right where I needed it.
Same. I think I’m turned church hurt into a God wound too. This song hit me…
Keep keeping it real my brother. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony! 🙏🏽
This song mirrors my deconstruction for the past couple of years. Now, I am back home. Thank you Lecrae for writing this beautiful song.
Powerful. This song just brought me to tears. Thank you Lecrae for being open about your journey.
I've been praying for you for a long time. This made me cry. We all have desert times. Take up your mat and walk, brother.
Spent nearly two years in jail.
Lost my career.
Lost my marriage.
Almost lost my son.
Never lost my future.
Never forgotten by Jesus.
"Knocked me off my mule before I hit my casket"
*PRAISE HIM*
Best artist of all time. They way he so honestly addresses world problems (deep end) (still in America) (broke) while grappling with personal struggles is beautiful
Tears in my eyes ,can relate ..@Lecrae ,God Bless you king
Thank you Crae for sharing this part of your journey publicly. I’m thankful for how you model the ups and downs of your pursuit of God and his relentless pursuit of you. Keep running the race.
Thank you for being vulberable for people like me. I relate to your music and keeps me going. Im in that too
Lecrae is a deep artist. CC4 is so related. He actually inspires me a lot in Music. If you ever get the time, please check out this song and be blessed th-cam.com/video/J4AC2K6Ga2o/w-d-xo.html
Continue to listen to Lecrae if you want to, he's on the same road of apostate, this man is not leading you to CHRIST, but away from Him !!! When do the West teach you about Holy Scriptures? Please 🙏 listen to the Spirit of GOD, for HE is the Spirit of truth,
@@MichaelWilliams-bl9iq By your comment, all I can is that Maturity is not for all. Goodday
Dear everyone that's reading this, we don't know each other but I wish you all the best in life. Love, respect & be Kind 😘
One of the best verses of all time.
Most people will never understand it but that was magic.
Been following you since I was like 8 years old (*I'll be 24 next month) this IS your best song Crae God bless u bro .. I'm restored after this one!!!
"My deconstruction is my reconstruction in its beginning"
This is FREAKING 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you for this God bless you. Ive been struggling a lot lately and this album was the water redirect I needed its getting dark out in this world its getting harder to express the light I just appreciate these littlw reminders of the life god gives.
Glad Jesus got ahold of you again brother, sounds like you've been through a lot.
So many Christians misrepresent the body of Christ that we all go through deconstruction. however not everyone can reconstruct themselves and continue to TRUST IN GOD. I am glad Lecrae was able to tell his story through this song. It can truly change lives and inspire others.
Wow 🤯 Praise Jesus 🙌🏾
This is more than music. Thanks for sharing this 💯
God is your strength, Lacrae. 🙏
GREAT JOB CC4 IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 GOD THANK YOU FOR LECRAE 💯
Thank you for being raw on this one.🙏🏾God bless you and your family. If we can't show mercy and love to our brothers and sisters when they fall. How will the world know Jesus love is true🙏🏾
Second verse hit home. I cry every time. We became one in that verse. praise God he gave us that moment of clarity and most important WE HEARD IT. 🙏🙌 thank you I love you brother.
Crae if you ever see this keep it up. I love your music & have since 2018. I saw some of your crew live in 2015 or 2016 at winter-jam. Love what you're doing. Keep up God's work because there's very few who will actually do it. More than any song the Bible tells us to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". I'm a Baptist & I love what you're doing. Though people judge me every day there's no place I'd rather be than serving God where he needs me. As a musician myself for 8 or 9 years I get it. People like you, fK&C, and KB made me love it. People need you man. Thank you so much for releasing this.
Used to watch on another channel & Spotify but this is my music place now. Though I'm listening to a lots of big artists now to learn I always got mad respect for ya'll. If I don't listen immediately just know I always will listen at some point. Thank you all for the work you're doing.
'And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6
Love you, brother.
🥺💚❤️🩹🕊️🧠 wish all doing well with deconstruction and reconstruct positively together
We need to now more than ever. Stay safe out there 🙏🏾✊🏾
Wow such a unique beat w/ rap the actually have meaning! Love it ! Thank you Lecrae!
I haven't had an experience like this with any album no joke. This was a literal experience and I can see the idea behind the layout of it and I think its perfect Praise God i love yall man
"I let the church trauma turn into a God wound." Whewwwww!!! 🔥
Wow this man never disappoint never
“Sinning like Saul when he hit Damascus. God knocked me off the mule ‘for I hit the casket.” Relatable!!
This is pure POWER!Spoke hope and truth into my life through your pain💯🔥🙏🏽
So i just listened to these words really carefully man they brought me to tear man lecrae you are a real one bro i salute you
Wow.. I’m listening to CC4 and just heard this and really brought me to tears with his raw emotion, honesty and yes I can relate!.. this the one Lecrae!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I cried too sis. Still crying. This song speaks to me😭😭😭😭
Wow!!!! Young brother; Thank you very much. Iam 59 and Yahweh used these lyrics to minister deeply to me . May our Elohim continue to use you and increase you and your family
I would like to personally and publicly apologize. At one point I was upset with the way you were not giving the church some credit without understanding the pain you were going through. It wasn't until I saw Trump get the mantle from the Evangelical Church that I started seeing the racism and christian nationalism within the body of Christ. Thank you for helping me deconstruct as I continue building a strong faith in God. Godspeed brother!
Trump I believe is God's servant and so is Lecrae! Love this song!
Well God appointed Him that is for sure, but to say that Trump is a servant is totally off. As for Lecrae's point I can assure you they don't see eye to eye on this one. Not that Lecrae wants Biden either. But you need to do more research about Christian Nationalism @@travisdoan1068
Church ain't a building
@@travisdoan1068Trump is polar opposite to everything Jesus stands for. It grieves me that many people have traded the credibility of their witness for temporary power.
Why Crae got me about to cry waiting at the auto shop 😭 🤲🏾
This is the Lane Lecrae! We need so much more of this. 🔥 🔥🔥
Shout out to crae for this song. Showing your vulnerability on this song is commendable and worthy of emulation. May God continue to lead you in the path of righteousness.
Love you Lacrae! Always putting out music with substance! God bless you brother!
Love you bro 🤗❤ Thanks for sharing your story and being vulnerable with all of us 👊🏼 I can relate 😢
Man!!! This one is a hit...your lifestyle has been my inspiration. It's people that hurt me not God... I Am thankful God led me to love your music. Amen
This is Gospel Music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
IT's really true that once you go through deconstruction (or I'd rather call it disentangle your beliefs - a disconnect with reality and what you say you believe), you can't ever really be the same.
This song speaks to my heart. Thank you Lecrae for this so relatable.
Now THIS is the track! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Voddie is the best preacher I’ve heard in a long time. Bless that man
Easily one of my favorite rappers of all time.
What a beautiful song 🙏🔥
Lecrae all I have man is ♥️ for you & your art. Thank you
What a Project...what a Culmination of the Church Clothes Series.
You really took us on a journey...thank you!
Lecrea has always been that guy 🔥🔥🔥🔥 glory to God!!
