about

This track is about the Christian hip hop scene and those involved. Things don't seem much different from what goes on in the mainstream sometimes. That should not be. This calls them out and puts things in perspective.

lyrics

If you look deep inside
You will find those things you left behind
You so called Christian Superstar
Rising, climbing
Blinding all the people eyes
The so called Christian Superstar

Whats going on in the world of christian hip hop?
Rappers flip flop, crash and burn right before lift off (2)
Wanna reach records, but not stay true
To the one who is greater than the world around you (4)
If rap what is do and hip hop is how you live
Then shouldn’t the spirit of Christ that’s in you be the first thing that you give (6)
To the world? Hip hop is basically a mirror
It becomes clearer with the truth drawing nearer (8)
Most rappers wanna struggle to be relevant
It should be evident that you are heaven sent (10)
I would rather have my own flavor
And embrace my uniqueness in the eyes of my savior (12)
Why would you wanna compete with the enemy
When you already have the victory and the remedy (14)
Better be ready when he come
Focus on the message, not the beat of the drum (16)

Hook

Trying to copy the mainstream, or so it may seem
That these so called rappers just wanna be seen (2)
On the TV, magazines, and christian websites
Christian is not a label, its a way of life (4)
Wanna be called an artist who happens to be Christian
Using the label to create division (6)
Jesus is the reason for our living
Not the product that we sell so people keep on giving (8)
Wanna taste fame but not face rejection
Wanna dodge hate but receive the blessings (10)
Just because you rap about Christ
Don’t mean u represent and live a faithful life (12)
Anyone can grab a mic and put on a show
But what spirit do u speak from when you flow? (14)
I hope, that its of God and not the flesh
cause the end of that matter always leads to death (16)

Hook

Follow the leader, but who’s one the leading?
Is it God or the hottest act that everyone’s seeing? (2)
Mingling with the world, compromising your beliefs
And changing your sound to keep the audience pleased (4)
Ministering to the world, hey thats just fine
But to deny and hide Jesus, thats where i draw the line (6)
In the sand, separate the wheat from the chaff
Like a Balrog Demon, you shall not pass (8)
Out of love and good will, some preach Christ
Others preach out of envy, self ambition and strife (10)
On a record, and serve it on a silver platter
Ironically, it doesn’t really matter (12)
The important thing is that in every way
Christ is preached to the masses nearly every day (14)
And because of this I will rejoice
Make a joyful noise as I use my voice (16)
