Songfacts®:

  • Though his music is driven by his Christian faith, gospel rapper Lecrae delves into some pretty grim topics. This song finds him dropping rhymes about the shooting of his cousin:

    "Aight stop, y'all don't quite understand the story I got
    I almost popped a whole thing of pills in hopes that I drop
    My cousin walked out the party, pow got shot."

    "When you see your cousin go inside a party, he comes outside, sits in the car and pow, pow, catches two to the head, you start thinking about life and death and the reality of that," he explained to MTV News. "That really happened to my cousin."
