You think you high but you really getting low...you gon' hate it but I had to let ya know!




Imma Blow Your High - Lecrae (Lyrics)
Hmm, Here we go again
Why you blowing them stems I'm bout' to flow again
I know the smoke ain't the only thing going in
I gotta whole lotta truth you can roll'em with
Feel it in your chest, yes, breath
It's what you breathe in never thinkin' that you blessed
You hear it in the back, right, left
Your body feeling right but your soul getting left
You think you gettin' high but you really getting low
The devil got you blind from the weed that you blow
You worshippin' a tree instead of worshippin' the king
When he made everything Romans 1:23
Chase that high all the way to into the grave
You lost in your low so you're high everyday
And everything you crave only makes you a slave
And Christ is the only way you ever gonna 'scape
If it's one hitta, quitta, get it
In your mind that your time's gon' pass
And if you gon' get it, spit it, lick it
You got one life and it ain't gon' last
You ain't stimulated, you manipulated by a hater
And he hate it when you rehabilitated
If smoke is the evidence, you takin' His benevolent gift
And telling him split while you're in hell in yo hit , so get up

Ohh, you think you high but you really getting low
Yeah, you gon' hate it but I had to let you know
That in the end we all gon' die, can't escape it if you try
I know your lighters up but I'ma blow your high (Eyyy!)
I'ma blow your high (Eyyy!) I'ma blow your high
I know you're trying to free your mind
But you just wasting time
And Jesus is alive

[Canon:]
Wait a minute ya'll
Let me take it down a river while they rolling down the hedonism boulevard
Anything that got em' feeling, maybe money or the Lamborghini in the magazine about the sports car
Everybody wanting satisfaction
But there's no regard for The One who has it
And everybody wantin' grabbin'
But you gotta get it from above where they stash it
You can try to get high
You can feel alive
But the reality, your soul dry
You gotta find anybody with a better high
You ain't fillin' half of the $20 bag full of weed that provides it
Gotta make a U-turn cause if you turn
You can see The One who turns
But if we never make that turn
You will never be content with the high you've earned
You will never be happy
Running with the love of kush
For the love of kush, I promise
You can either be a slave to an object
Or rather be a slave to the God who's honest
They ain't never seen a high like I got
But they fallin' in the puddle like a raindrop
Steady running from the top of the balcony
Looking over the Hollywood valleys falling from the rooftop

I do think that this song serves justice to idolatry, drugs and how temporary satisfaction comes into play to those that do it. If you are reading this entry and this may pertain to you, know that this is not to put you on blast rather to make ya think of it. I encourage ya to continue reading this so I may justify myself!


          This past Friday at our first youth service, I talked to the teens about the topic, "Why Can't I stop?" The phrase can pertain to many things that you may do that later have you asking yourself "why can't I stop?" This topic is for me as well so I was able to be challenged as well at first. Well I mentioned to the teens if they could recall a time when they  would catch themselves praying to God, asking for forgiveness of the same sin over and over again. Many of them nodded their heads and raised their hands. That is a repetitive sin!


          I have had the exact same issue as well and please know that I am not perfect, rather forgiven! My repetitive sin was losing my temper and patience sometimes at small things that were not that crucial at times. I thank God though that now I am able to control it a lot better and have a better alternative than losing it. 


          Romans 1: 23 says, "and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles." Now we can add lots more to that verse such as drugs, money, and pornography. All these things here are not good to have as an idol or addiction before the eyes of God. That passage in the Bible goes on to say, "For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."


          Later I also spoke about how God gives us free will. He is not a God that will twist your arm to serve Him; He will not stop giving you breath because you deny Him; He will not curse us for disobeying him or for ignoring him! Mercy is clemency: leniency and compassion shown toward offenders by a person or agency charged with administering justice. We can literally choose to deny Him and to think we never need Him, and He will still love us for who we are and be willing to accept us just as we are. 


          If you think you need to change before you come to Him, think again!
I talked to a cat the other day
And he was like;
"Man I really wanna come to Christ
But I gotta clean my life up first, get my sins together"
I told em, I used to think that way too
I thought I had to change myself before I could come to Christ
But Christ changed me
Let me tell you my story, it starts like this...
