After The Music Stops Lyrics
Yeah, I got a question, after the show, after the set, after the music stops,
What's next? Are we just writing songs or are we concerned with uniting a people
To follow the great commission of Christ.
Yeah let's get it, let's go...
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e59684-lecrae~after_the_music_stops__lyrics.html ]
Back in the day I was a lunch line rapper, after that I guess I was a punch
Line rapper, then I got saved and sometime after, ya boy came back as
A frontline rapper, and when I say the frontlines, that's not a frontline,
I'm out here preachin' Christ on the frontlines, and no it ain't
About rockin' stages 'coz some of my engagements are out on the pavements yeah.
I'm out to take the bible, create disciples, who make disciples, disciple-cycles,
That's why I want the beats to knock so after the music stops you can meet
The rock I pray, that you would know him well, this is like show and tell,
It's more than a show, I'm showing you Emmanuel,
So yeah I'm hopin' that you're likin' the flow but it's only so you could
Know that God I'm writing it for let's go...
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles after
The music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the words
We sing after the music stops.
I recorded a couple songs some fast some slow, so the listeners would
Know the importance of the show, the importance of the show's not to excite
These folks but make God's truth relevant, ignite these folks.
Discipleship is our call but we make disciples, this is not a suggestion,
Create disciples. The teachin' is a process, it's not over night and
It's not a stage and a mic nah, it's life on life Christ -
Walked with twelve, ate with twelve, talked with twelve, shaped the twelve,
Invested in 'em well you could say that he made the twelve. Who made many more,
Who made plenty more, now it's on you and me if there's anymore.
1 teach, 2 teach, 3 teach, 4 teach, 5 teach, 6 teach, 7 teach more,
This is what we've been commissioned, it's the reason why I write,
So that you could hear the truth, not so you can say I'm tight whoa...
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles
After the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the
Words we sing after the music stops.
So, we write this for the right the speaker was righteous,
And then we might check for a culture who likes the hypeness.
Some say we keep it crunk, some say we hype man; we just wanna pump
The resurrection of the Christ man.
We in the -burbs and the hoods that's hostile, we share a common
View like synoptic Gospels and you know we keep a couple young dudes
Around us and teach 'em the same truth God used to ground us.
This is a lifestyle so, when the mic's down I pray people follow Christ
When they turn the lights down. I pray that everybody playin' this song
Will be challenged by everything I had to say in this song.
I don't do this for the money, I don't do this for fame, I don't do this
So the industry can know my name, I do this and host to glorify
Joshua the King, if you're feelin' me you know you should be doin'
The same let's go'
After the show, after the set, after the music stops what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples, will you open your bibles
After the music stops.
After it's over, after it ends, after the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King? Or will you just like the
Words we sing after the music stops.
