Shut Us Down

Hook
(After Edmund)
Run with us, or you can hate me/
But it will be hard to shut us down/

Verse 1

Call your man, call your girl, tell them all call their bluff/
Tell them call the stations ask them why they hate on us/
Took an ouch for His people just so He can stay in touch/
Check the record books you're better off to run with us/
Call us punks, call us weak, call us chumps, call us dumb/
Call the verizon network and still see it's not enough/
On the cable, on the web, on the phone they call us wack/
Go ahead a try to shut us down, aint no app for that/

Verse 2
Lecrae

Listen I write to tell the truth dont write to save face (nah)
Born in H town got the words to save face
Christian means that when I eat the beat I say my grace
If only God could judge you how you plan to beat the case?
Cant beat it Mike Jack couldnt either all you get is one life cant rewind or repeat it
I will do this until the day I take my last breath
Beautiful feet im running till I take my last step
It's nothing they could do to stop what the Lord's doing
Come in the kitchen take a look at what the Lord's brewing
Radio dont play us, television mock us
The truth is still spreading, there's no way they can stop us
Pharisees throw stones at my glass house
But they dont see their own reflection when they bad mouth
You can lie, you can hate, you could run us down
But in the end the gates of hell couldn't shut us down

Verse 3
Some think we're a mess some calling us blessed/
A mic and a stage don't always equals success/
Sometimes a bigger platform only brings more stress/
So I watch my life and doctrine and pray for the best/
AT told me let your light shine homes/
They wanna see you crash like the Dow Jones/
It's like Matt 16 who can come against it/
You can be a Pharisee or you can be a witness/
If we stay in the church the world callsl us religious/
If we go on mtv the saints think were trippin/
If we try to hit the streets then we're some thugs in sin/
With those spectating you cant expect to win/
Its hard to make decisions when theories clouding your vision/
Sometimes I'm confused with who is the opposition/
I think I heard cheers when I fumbled the ball/
They claim they're on our team but praying for our fall/
They can
