I'm with you it makes it bittersweet for me too because there so many folks that I wish were as famous. Because the talent, skill, and giftedness is always there in our country and globe.

Do you even know who you supposed to be Well let me tell you? [Hook] I've been in so many places And I see pain all on my people faces So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now [Verse 2: Derek Minor] Cuz' I don't know how to fix this I'm just trying to survive the tempest I'm just trying to pray God will hear this I feel like they got us on their hit list I've been on a mission Impossible, Tom Cruise flew in the old school Think of how some kids only eat in the lunch room And they wonder why they fight in their home rooms How can you focus, when hunger is potent There is lead in the water of poor But you wouldn't notice Your head is so far up in the clouds on a very high horse We at war with ourselves While at war with each other Just know I'll never give up on you All of my sisters and brothers Oh don't you worry now This ain't the end of the story now No matter what comes or what go, we gonna hold you The truth that we hold, we gonna hold it down, yeah This is that motivation unadulterated This for the people that say when they felt like giving up We gon' make it Hit the shot at the buzzard, it's still a win What I'm saying is as long as you still alive, better try again What I'm saying, the morning is coming Time to rise and shine again Time to get back on the grind again For everybody that be getting up Let me see your hands high again Let em' know [Hook] I've been in so many places And I see pain all on my people faces So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now [Outro: BJ the Chicago Kid] Gone now Gone now I'll give You what You deserve That's all I need
Derek thank you for continuing to rap about God, because i havent heard the name of Jesus or God from the last songs of Lecrae in a while, if he has made some new songs about God please let me know someone, cause i cant find any from Lecrae, well anyways Derek keep repping Jesus because people need the gospel through music, and christians really need christian hip hop, love ya brotha
I have always been a fan! But I'm watching thus video and seeing 41k+ views and only 800 likes. I believe it had alot to do with the intro of this song. I understand what it is about, but I hope others make it passed the long intro to the lyrics.
This Derek Minor has one thing that sets him apart from the rest of artistes in his genre. He seems more comfortable with the music and sings with a conviction he carries quite effortlessly... it seems.
this ain't the place to promote your socialist politician who thinks bread lines "are a good thing" Seperation of church and state is Biblical, so lets keep them seperated ;)
Why is a Christian artist collabing with a secular artist? BJ the chicago kid makes music that promotes cursing, sexual acts, drinking etc. pretty much sinful living. This is when deception makes its way into the church.
Renaldy Calixte I understand that but it kind of turns me off from the music when Christians colab with secular artists. It's hard to tell sometimes who the true christian artists are and who aren't. As long as he is doing God's work and doesn't fall victim to the music industry then that's all that matters.
Man I was about 19 or 20 back then. That's me over by the door in the church scene in the white shirt grooving. Lol
lol
Yesss this goes so hard Christian rap is where it's at the WORLD doesn't know what it's missing brothers
RIGHT!!!
Shaneakia Jefferson praise his name
Keep going
Derek Minor and BJ The Chicago Kid make a great pair. Dope feature!
Soon as i saw it was featuring Bj the Chicago Kid already kneeeeew it was that time... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't think anyone in CHH has my respect like this man does. Been the same and probably getting even better. Keep it up Minor. God bless
I'm with you it makes it bittersweet for me too because there so many folks that I wish were as famous. Because the talent, skill, and giftedness is always there in our country and globe.
Derek minor did it again. Keep it up with the fire. I'll be praying for you. Truly gifted.
Watched a thousand times….my bad 1,001…I’ll be back tomorrow too… salute D Minor
Great music! Continue spreading the Gospel ✝️🙌
Glad to see that Derek's new album will be keeping me warm this winter
LYRICS
[Intro: Derek Minor]
See I've been in the game for a minute
It's been a crazy ride
No matter where I go
One thing we all have in common is
We all have crazy pains and crazy hurts
And every time I want to give up, I can see it in their faces
And I start thinking, "I can't give up!
Can't give up."
[Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid]
I've been in so many places
And I see pain all on my people faces
So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do
Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You
That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
[Bridge: Derek Minor]
I came up from the bottom
I came up from the bottom
And I ain't even supposed to be here if it was up to y'all
And I think God had different plans for me
Different plans for me, oh yeah
I gave Him all of my problems
Yeah, I gave Him all of my problems
He told me if I trust Him, I'm His son, and don't worry about nothin', don't worry about nothin'
[Verse 1: Derek Minor]
This for my people that struggle to pay off they light bill
In they heart man, they wonder if Christ real
Or the next meal
I can tell you how that life feel
Political pawns in the hands of the people that make all the laws
They set up the game, so we only ones losing
Don't act so appalled
And we failed
We been held in these chains long enough
I rebel what they sell
Let this light shine in us
I'm trying to show the world what I've seen
He can turn clay to a king
Do you even know what that means?
Do you even know who you supposed to be
Well let me tell you?
[Hook]
I've been in so many places
And I see pain all on my people faces
So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do
Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You
That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
[Verse 2: Derek Minor]
Cuz' I don't know how to fix this
I'm just trying to survive the tempest
I'm just trying to pray God will hear this
I feel like they got us on their hit list
I've been on a mission
Impossible, Tom Cruise flew in the old school
Think of how some kids only eat in the lunch room
And they wonder why they fight in their home rooms
How can you focus, when hunger is potent
There is lead in the water of poor
But you wouldn't notice
Your head is so far up in the clouds on a very high horse
We at war with ourselves
While at war with each other
Just know I'll never give up on you
All of my sisters and brothers
Oh don't you worry now
This ain't the end of the story now
No matter what comes or what go, we gonna hold you
The truth that we hold, we gonna hold it down, yeah
This is that motivation unadulterated
This for the people that say when they felt like giving up
We gon' make it
Hit the shot at the buzzard, it's still a win
What I'm saying is as long as you still alive, better try again
What I'm saying, the morning is coming
Time to rise and shine again
Time to get back on the grind again
For everybody that be getting up
Let me see your hands high again
Let em' know
[Hook]
I've been in so many places
And I see pain all on my people faces
So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do
Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You
That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now
Until I'm gone now
[Outro: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Gone now
Gone now
I'll give You what You deserve
That's all I need
TY for showing folks there is a better life to live, a life in Christ Jesus.
God bless you all
Derek thank you for continuing to rap about God, because i havent heard the name of Jesus or God from the last songs of Lecrae in a while, if he has made some new songs about God please let me know someone, cause i cant find any from Lecrae, well anyways Derek keep repping Jesus because people need the gospel through music, and christians really need christian hip hop, love ya brotha

Wow! What a piece Derek. All heart baby! God bless you brother! Keep on doing what He created you to do until you're gone.

I like it, Christian focused music and not just (positive) music made by Christians.
Thank you for the positivity, and thank God for his love and mercy. In Jesus name.

0:35 when you see a Bernie sticker in the video and it makes you remember when there was a REAL candidate running. Not Trump or Hillary 😭
lol
this ain't the place to promote your socialist politician who thinks bread lines "are a good thing"
Seperation of church and state is Biblical, so lets keep them seperated ;)
Nah Bernie wasn't good Donald Trump is.

I'm looking for more positive Christian rap to go to. I'm a restored Christian looking to stay with GOD
Why is a Christian artist collabing with a secular artist? BJ the chicago kid makes music that promotes cursing, sexual acts, drinking etc. pretty much sinful living. This is when deception makes its way into the church.
How else are secular artists gonna be reached and changed by Christ unless Derek Minor and other Christian artists interact and work with them?
fly man I understand people make mistakes, I'm just wondering why he doing a song with BJ? "little man"
Renaldy Calixte I understand that but it kind of turns me off from the music when Christians colab with secular artists. It's hard to tell sometimes who the true christian artists are and who aren't. As long as he is doing God's work and doesn't fall victim to the music industry then that's all that matters.
Kinda reminds me of when Jesus ate and did life with "sinners." People of his day said the same type of stuff.
who says he isn't a christian artist? what is a christian artists? because he doesn't have that title or go under that genre does He love Christ less?
