Don't Waste Your Life by Lecrae feat. Dwayne Tryumf
Hook:
(Cam)
Don't wanna waste my life
Verse 1:
(LeCrae)
I know a lot of people out there scared they gone die
couple of em thinking they'll be livin in the sky
but while Im here livin man I gotta ask why, what am here fo I gotta figure out
waste my life
no I gotta make it count
if Christ is real then what am I gone do about
all of the things in Luke 12:15 down to 21
you really oughta go and check it out
Paul said if Christ aint resurrect then we wasted our lives
well that implies that our life's built around Jesus being alive
everyday I'm living tryin show the world why
Christ is more than everything you'll ever try
better than pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any women and men that you admire
aint no lie
We created for Him
outta the dust he made us for Him
Elects us and he saves us for Him
Jesus comes and raises for Him
Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser
he made us so we could bless Him and to the world we confess him
resurrects him
so I know I got life
matter fact better man I know I got Christ
if you don't' see His ways in my days and nights
you can hit my brakes you can stop my lights
man I lost my rights
I lost my life
forget the money cars and toss that ice
the cost is Christ
and they could never offer me anything on the planet that'll cost that price.
Verse 2:
(Dwayne Tryumph)
Armed and dangerous
So the devil jus can't handle us
Christian youth them a stand wid us
Livin' n driven
given a vision
fullfillin the commission he handed us
London to Los Angeles
Da rap evangelist
Ma daddy wouldn't abandon us
"I gotta back pack fulla tracts plus I keep a Johnny Mac"
So are you ready to jam with us
So lets go, gimme the word an lets go
Persecution lets go
Tribulation lets go
Across the nation lets go
Procrastination bes go
Hung on the cross in the cold
Died for da young and the old
Can't say you never know
Heaven knows
How many souls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in and get em
Whaaaaat!
Verse 3:
(LeCrae)
Suffer
Yeah do it for Christ if you trying to figure what to do with your life
if you making money hope you doing it right because the money is Gods you better steward it right
stay focused if you aint got no ride
your life aint wrapped up in what you drive
the clothes you wear the job you work
the color your skin naw we Christian first
people living life for a job
make a lil money start living for a car
get em a house a wife kids and a dog
when they retire they living high on the hog
but guess what they didn't ever really live at all
to live is Christ yeah that's Paul I recall
to die is gain so for Christ we give it all
he's the treasure you'll find in the mall
Your money your singleness marriage talent and time
they were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine
that's why it's Christ in my rhymes
That's why it's Christ all the time
my whole world is built around him He's the life in my lines
I refused to waste my life
he's too true ta chase that ice
heres my gifts and time cause I'm constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ
If he's truly raised to life
then this news should change your life
and by his grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights.
He's fast isn't he? You can find the lyrics to all the songs at the Reach Records website.

What an incredible song!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting it! :)
Hi Chris!
I listened to this song 10 times on Saturday and 4 times yesterday. I would have listened to it more, but my husband was like, "Will you please give it a rest?" (I tend to be a little compulsive...)
He did order the album for me, and he ordered its predecessor as well. I CAN'T WAIT to get them in the mail!
My 6-year-old son, Stephen, and my 13-year-old daughter Linnea were both singing the chorus yesterday, and my daughter kept saying, "Thanks, Mom! I can't get that song out of my head!" :)
Isn't God good? I'm looking forward to reading your posts later today when I'm on lunch or break. I have to get to work now.
Have an awesome day in the light of the Lord!
In Christ,
Mel
HAHA!
=) Amen! He's good! All the time! I know the feeling. I can't get the chorus out of my head either and I keep listening to it over and over.
Blessings to you,
Chris
Man you can't truly appreciate this song unless you meditate on what is being rapped. This song is just so deep on so many levels. I am speechless with how they can rap this fast with this kind of message and have it flow so well.
Holy Spirit, brother. Holy Spirit. No matter how many times I listen to this song (I've lost count now), my heart rate never fails to be brought up a few notches when it gets to this part:

I'll never tire of these words. May He rule my days and nights.
Yea that part is tight... that part reminded me of the Christ Is sermon jam with Piper haha... I wanted to try to put a couple of his verses into a blog post, but I think that I would end up just putting the whole song cuz it's all just so good
