Thirst King You know what the word means when it's associated with him. You don't have to look hard to find out if you're curious. 116 Unashamed. Enough said.
People don't seem to understand that Lecrae raps in metaphors, almost all of his songs, if not directly stating that is about God have metaphors that are about God.
Yeah he says that at the beginning so it doesn't sound weird to others to make it sound normal. And then when people get interested, it reveals the song is actually about God
No wonder the world continues to be confused when they hear him. God can be anyone to a lot of people.If he is unashamed, then just say it bro! J-E-S-U-S. End of story.
Rene Mauricio Bermudez God doesn't want us to be Believers who water down everything with God and Jesus. That can get boring for some people. People need relatable things to reach them. Some people can't relate to God completely like we can. Sometimes they need real life things mentioned
He's trying to reach out for people and not just sing songs about getting saved and living right. He wants to sing about marriage, relalatonships and other things. In doing that he opens new doors and is able to influence more people
In case you all forgot, Lercre is not a christian rapper. He is a rapper who is Christian. And he's made that very clear. So if you're getting butt hurt because he wasn't rapping about God in this specific song, you can go ahead and stop talking, because he is not obligated to do so. That's like saying Actors who are christian should only do Christian movies. Or writers who are Christian should only write Christian books. It's just ridiculous.
Of course he doesn't need to sing about only Jesus. But a lot of his songs are kind of lowkey about it. Just so it appeals to everyone so he makes it sound as modern as possible which I enjoy a lot more than only rapping about Jesus
Agreed. There are times that he does truly worship Christ Like in, Lucky ones, or Tell the World, or Background, but mostly his music is meant to give people hope or even just give families with kids and adults a chance to turn up to good rap music without hearing about sex, drugs, or violence.
@Jeni Choate I also met him last year. It was awesome. I also personally like it when he says “im not a Christian rapper.” It makes it a lot easier for me to enjoy his music in that i don’t see it as ministry as much as it is entertainment.
Its a song that does not need to be analyzed from a biblical perspective. I can identify with what he is talking about because I relate the same feelings for my wife. Lecrae is doing things for the kingdom that most christians will never be able to do because of their lack of fear and lack of trust in god. So easier to criticize his walk and look at his simple mistakes and be quick to say I knew it hes a sinner..person of this world.. sometimes christians need to remember we are not perfect but forgiven. I had been trying to witness to someone for years but could not convert him to change his ways. Gave him a lecrae album and he was shortly saved after that and has been inspired to win souls for jesus. That is the POWER of god through the music of lecrae. God bless lecrae and KEEP REACHING.
This album I found when I was abroad fighting some serious battles. Love it! Thank you my brother on the front line. Yeshua's continued blessings & protection to you and your families🙏🏻
congrats on your Grammy win Lecrae. your songs have good messages and glorify God. it's so cool to see you also write a song telling your wife how much she means to you. great job man, you deserve it.
Yeah, I noticed that Lecrae wears the shirt and he speaks honestly about his faith. But there will be haters who will criticize Lecrae for not spitting Jesus in every verse! I love the guy! I have heard him address large mostly Christian audiences and explain how we need to engage the culture! Many Christian are just ISOLATING themselves in their holy hideouts and waiting for Jesus to return!
I think that he should sing about Jesus. Because all we need is Jesus. It doesn't matter if we have a wife, because if we don't have Jesus, we won't have anything. Jesus should be in the center of attention. Not friends, not family, not business or anything. Put Jesus first and he will give you what you need. Jesus bless whoever reads this.
+Jbob “DOODOO” Brown my aunt said this exact thing after her very young daughter passed away (who dedicated her whole life to the church up until death)
It really make me upset to read people's comments saying he should make a song for his wife but only ones for Jesus, the Lord created marriages and even through worshiping the Lord together to a good righteous relationship, a couple must also show appreciation to each other. Just because he's a "Christian Rapper" (when really he should be labeled as a rapper who is Christian) should be obligated to only producing song only about God, now of course all the songs should have Christian values in it but they should have the choice to make songs they like, such as this one; a husband writing a song to his wife showing how much he appreciates her, their even songs like like 'Heavy Hand' by social club, a Christian rap duo who wrote this song about crazy fan/obsessive people, So don't be so uptight about what music he writes it's just as bad as you saying he can't do so means that any song that doesn't promote godly values is unrighteousness, thus making you quite the Hippocrates.
If a song directly or indirectly references God is of little import, the main thing is does it Glorify Him? That can be done by making songs regarding marriage (God instituted), or the "trials" we ALL face. There are Christian songs about dealing with depression, loss, grief,sadness and they do not necessarily outright say God but they do mention aspects that are only found in God. Name a secular person who would love you unconditionally,even if you were broke,not attractive, and had a disorder? Besides family. God and His family, us the church, do. We KNOW we are not perfect but we ARE forgiven and we show love by forgiving others and accepting them as they are. All I Need is You IS Godly, even if he is singing about his wife, which, I am 99.99% sure he is NOT, because ALL we need is God, not even spouses are important as God.
wow 1st time seeing this. I know LMO! Still stunned! Lecrea you were that uncomfortable? I expexting u to at least point to the ceiling. you were walking around our Father on this performance brother.
wow on Good morning america. what an awesome oppurtunity to spread the Gospel and tell quickly how Jesus save. wait for it? wait for it? wait for it? ok nevermind. All i need is my wife
The Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs in some versions) does not mention God, yet these scriptures are considered biblical and often quoted by believers. Same thing with the Book of Esther; God is mentioned not once--but if you read your Bibles, you would know. Some ppl are so holier than thou.
Whether if this song is about his wife or Jesus directly. What i know is that people in the world perceive it as a song about significant others. It's why it's nomimated for that award, it's for its generality it's not specified to God. If you ask me why couldn't Praying for You be nomimated now that is a beautiful song because its directed God asking him for his guidance amd help through temptations of the world. This song is not my favorite because it can be taken/percieved in many other ways. Especially in a secular way. Really you think GMA would have wanted him on the show if he was talking directly about God, they would face so much backlash from Athiests and others in a major way.
I actually started feeling like Lecrae is ashamed of the LORD when he said it's about his wife and never put GOD in it as first place. Sad. The world needs GOD, we shouldn't dilute the GOOD NEWS ifwe are indeed unashamed..
She asks him where his inspiration comes from....no mention of Jesus? Wonder if he was told not to mention God. All I need is you is about Jesus but it seems like he's telling people to think of loved ones. I like Lecrae but it seems like he's lost his focus a bit.
He's a Christian rapper but right here I hear him talking about having one love for one girl or one person but I didn't hear him talk straight up about having one love for Him. But he's living unashamed right? He said himself in a few of his songs that he's been places round crowds that need Him but had not professed the name. Not judging just saying. Hope n Pray he stays Pray'd Up!
Hoity Toity Whats wrong with making 1 song about him only needing his wife, and only her, no other women? Especially when having a side chick is a VERY common thing being talked about in rap right now. He never said he's placing her above God. Just simply a song to his wife that he doesn't need any other women. It's beautiful man.
Is he making gospel rap or love songs? If I ask because as a gospel rapper I fail to see where God is acknowledged at all in his song. Worldly artist produce love songs all the time about their girl setting them right but what sets him apart from them especially when he openly collaborates with them? Listen I'm no one to judge but WE'RE ALL, you, me , the next guy or girl, we're all supposed to ask these questions and put them into perspective because its says in the word many false prophets will rise and deceive many and many will come to "tickle" your ears so I would just encourage all to be vigilant because the world loves their own but they hate us that have Him in us. And I don't know if you noticed but aside from what he says in his songs the world seems to be giving him a lot of love. We see the outside, hear what they say, hear what they talk about, how they look, what they wear, but God knows our heart and He knows us by our works and if we make songs about His truth and live a different life then you can know very well that He knows where our heart truly lies . I like a lot of his music but still if truth is in jeopardy and something seems sketchy to you would you stay quiet?
Yea, the songs suposed to be "all i need is you" all i need is the lord,but why did he say if thars someone you love out there tell them?? Its sad, the world is winning some of the best people 😔
Brent Mena An apostle of Christ once judged a prostitute for breaking a jar of perfume on his feet, saying the money used for the perfume could have been used to feed the poor. Jesus said there will always be poor people to feed. This dude made so many albums praising God and he's been on so many pulpits preaching the word of God and spreading the good news not to mention the times the cameras were off of him. And we hear one song about him loving his wife and we're like "oh this dude be slipping". The Bible is full of life and the good word and even in it you could find a man of God professing his love for a woman e.g. psalms and the songs of solomon. As Christians we need to understand the times and know what to do appropriately. We should not let the spirit of religiosity corrupt our relationship with God. God Bless you my brother, God Bless your music and your life :) I love you.
Brent Mena he made the song for his wife. it's about being faithful. and god put his wife in his wife. Marriage is a perfect union by god. what's the big deal? he said himself he's not a "Christian rapper." He's a rapper who is a christian, and his faith will naturally be visible in his lyrics. You can make a song for your wife and still be a christian artist... seriously. use your head
We are living in a culture where people don't just assume the basic principles of Christianity. We MUST reimpliment them before we start fishing with rifles and AK's. Life just doesn't work that way. Believing in God doesn't grant you otherworldly powers or rights over other people. You must still fear for your life, if you fear the Lord. The difference between you and the world is that you will be blessing the world and your God to your deathbed. In the Book of Job, you can see just how easily God gives and takes away. Being better or worse doesn't guarantee you the world. The Pharisees of Jesus' time believed that as long as they put God in everything, they earned their power and respect, but God doesn't work that way. God's a bit too busy dealing with the infinite complexity of the world to make you the center of the universe. Know that God is wise and just, and know that what you have is a blessing. That's all you need. Lecrae seems to understand just that.
abel ngaliema he goes either way. He doesn't want to be in a box. Christians (and my background is Christianity) always want to put someone in a specific area and they can't break out. He's still giving glory to GOD no matter what and God understands that. Lecrae is trying to reach people who don't know God as well as people who do know God
No, Lecrae is not bold enough to present God, he is hiding somehow. He had a platform to perform a poem art BET, what did he do? All that he did was to speak about Civil rights and stuff, people are not saved by racial consciousness, they need the SAVIOR...LECRAE SOLD OUT
abel ngaliema I agree and I don't say this as if I'm happy about it, because believe me I'm not. Sadly, a lot of mainstream Christian artists seem to get sucked into the world and it seems that the same thing has happened to Lecrae. Read Matthew 4 when Satan "offers" Jesus the kingdoms in the land, he was saying that if you follow the ways of the world (which means YOURE FOLLOWING SATAN) then you get to be famous and successful and stuff like that. It's a total shame how nowadays Christians are watering down The Message to satisfy everyone. We are NOT to satisfy people, we are to spread the gospel.
And remember, just because people worship God does NOT mean that their hearts are with Him (Isaiah 29:13). Even the demons not only believe, but will WORSHIP Jesus (Mark 5:7). Please be careful of who you are following and listening to because Satan /was/ and angel and so were the demons.
it's funny really. "talk about Jesus and all the Christians love you, walk like Jesus now they wanna crucify you." I mean if he walked up to a national tv show and just immediately talked about Jesus and how all need him... is he wrong... no, but how many are turned off from the gospel from people telling them they're wrong and sinners... many. a new graceful approach must be taken to reach the lost and show them why we need God and why we are broken sinners. silly to me when people wanna tear this man down when it's clear from this video and song he was pointing back to Jesus.
+Key Prince Gospel may speak to an older generation but what about our youth? Like it or not, rap speaks to them more than gospel so it's just putting God into a form they can relate too
+Nitro192 So should we replace the Gospels with rap songs, so the young generation can relate to it?... there's a danger in sugar coating the gospels, but if we keep true to what it is Romans 1:16 b "the POWER of GOD that brings SALVATION to EVERYONE who BELIEVES.." then we shouldn't be ashamed of anything.. peace be with you
Paea Tongatoutai Gospel comes in all forms, God never said it had to be slow, mellow music in order to spread the word. Lecrae who is one of the biggest Christian artists of our generation is a rap artist and has done more for spreading the word of God than anyone gospel singer. Don't be so convinced that you have to be old fashioned to be for God. The majority of great Christian artists who have helped spread the good word were not Gospel singers my friend, yet God spoke through them.
+Nitro192 that's cool nitro192 but you're comparing apples with oranges.. Lecrae and other artists are only new to the game... Charles Wesley an artist in the 1700's and king David... Before Christ.. Their hymns withstand the test of time and surely save millions wait no millions of millions, their hymns still sung today at our local churches don't wright them off, you could be singing them when you become 80yrs of age, but also a side note, lecrae had a chance to drop Jesus name but didn't... Unashamed?? Just wondering peace and blessings be with you brother
ABitInsane there's straight up Christian singing songs that I've heard they're singing about God, but don't mention His name. What's the problem with that?
Right? I wouldn't have minded at all if he kept it obscure, but he kept saying "somebody you love" and "you, girl" just to make it clear it wasn't about God... even though I definitely interpreted the lyrics that way, and believe they were supposed to have that meaning or that double meaning
Lecrae is not singing about Jesus anymore why? Is he no Christian no more? Lecrae on Good Morning America? Lecrae I don't want to be mean but...did you sell out??? Please sing about Jesus again...otherwise your songs are meaningless
Just because he doesn’t say “Jesus” every line doesn’t mean that he’s not a Christian and doesn’t make Christian music anymore. It also seems like a lot of people nowdays don’t realize that it’s not all about Jesus, it’s about God too.
Notice His unashamed shirt
To be fair... Unashamed could mean anything...
Thirst King You know what the word means when it's associated with him. You don't have to look hard to find out if you're curious. 116 Unashamed. Enough said.
Enid Redden Homie said he isn't associated with CHH though...
People don't seem to understand that Lecrae raps in metaphors, almost all of his songs, if not directly stating that is about God have metaphors that are about God.
Yeah he says that at the beginning so it doesn't sound weird to others to make it sound normal. And then when people get interested, it reveals the song is actually about God
lecrae says in an interview that this song is actually about his wife.
No wonder the world continues to be confused when they hear him. God can be anyone to a lot of people.If he is unashamed, then just say it bro! J-E-S-U-S. End of story.
Who has been confused? lol Any google search of him, his label, or associates will show.
Rene Mauricio Bermudez God doesn't want us to be Believers who water down everything with God and Jesus. That can get boring for some people. People need relatable things to reach them. Some people can't relate to God completely like we can. Sometimes they need real life things mentioned
God has bless him with a fire to spit lyrical rhymes for Gods glory.
So glad to see Lecrae spreading God's word and love. 116 fan for life. #unashamed
He's trying to reach out for people and not just sing songs about getting saved and living right. He wants to sing about marriage, relalatonships and other things. In doing that he opens new doors and is able to influence more people
In case you all forgot, Lercre is not a christian rapper. He is a rapper who is Christian. And he's made that very clear. So if you're getting butt hurt because he wasn't rapping about God in this specific song, you can go ahead and stop talking, because he is not obligated to do so.

TheDemari, I heard this on a gospel station. I think they are confused about how to label him. 😄
@Jeni Choate
I also met him last year. It was awesome. I also personally like it when he says “im not a Christian rapper.” It makes it a lot easier for me to enjoy his music in that i don’t see it as ministry as much as it is entertainment.
but this song is literally about God lol
i love lecrae! he is a great guy!
Its a song that does not need to be analyzed from a biblical perspective. I can identify with what he is talking about because I relate the same feelings for my wife. Lecrae is doing things for the kingdom that most christians will never be able to do because of their lack of fear and lack of trust in god. So easier to criticize his walk and look at his simple mistakes and be quick to say I knew it hes a sinner..person of this world.. sometimes christians need to remember we are not perfect but forgiven.

Gave him a lecrae album and he was shortly saved after that and has been inspired to win souls for jesus. That is the POWER of god through the music of lecrae. God bless lecrae and KEEP REACHING.
omg... i just loved it ... drumms.... live... cool
#Glory to #GOD! †
This album I found when I was abroad fighting some serious battles. Love it! Thank you my brother on the front line. Yeshua's continued blessings & protection to you and your families🙏🏻
He's so happy I love you Lecrae
lecrae always puts music on his albums for his wife ...always has. reach artists often do.
congrats on your Grammy win Lecrae. your songs have good messages and glorify God. it's so cool to see you also write a song telling your wife how much she means to you. great job man, you deserve it.
The Mans a Genius
i love 116 and what they sing with the lord on their side.#116 fa life dope album!
Awesome!!!!!😍😊👏✋👋👐❤️💗💓💚💜💙💛💙💞💖
Very talented guy. Blessed
AMEN!!!
just seen perform last last night Reading PA and he is good
Yeah, I noticed that Lecrae wears the shirt and he speaks honestly about his faith. But there will be haters who will criticize Lecrae for not spitting Jesus in every verse! I love the guy! I have heard him address large mostly Christian audiences and explain how we need to engage the culture! Many Christian are just ISOLATING themselves in their holy hideouts and waiting for Jesus to return!
Thomas Hockaday exactly! I don't understand why they're upset
i found this song while listening to someone do a drum cover to it... now it's one my favorite songs #GLORYTOTHEKING 👍
I think that he should sing about Jesus.
Because all we need is Jesus. It doesn't matter if we have a wife, because if we
don't have Jesus, we won't have anything.
Jesus should be in the center of attention.
Not friends, not family, not business or
anything. Put Jesus first and he will give
you what you need. Jesus bless whoever
reads this.
+Jbob “DOODOO” Brown my aunt said this exact thing after her very young daughter passed away (who dedicated her whole life to the church up until death)
Why is it a bad thing for him to make a song for his wife?
***** I was replying to the original comment, I'm stating that I don't see why it's a bad thing for him to make a song for his wife
amen, and Jesus is life, he is the way he is the truth and the life!
Praying for Lecrae
Awesome performance!

Top of the top my brothers

wow on Good morning america. what an awesome oppurtunity to spread the Gospel and tell quickly how Jesus save. wait for it? wait for it? wait for it? ok nevermind. All i need is my wife
But this man he does have some great songs Glorifing God..I still listen to the old Lecrae stuff.
LOL!!😝🤣😜
he is boss
I know you wrote that song to Jesus. 😉
BluDrop5 The video depicts his wife but the words could go either way..
No he actually wrote it about people that mean alto to you.
The Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs in some versions) does not mention God, yet these scriptures are considered biblical and often quoted by believers. Same thing with the Book of Esther; God is mentioned not once--but if you read your Bibles, you would know. Some ppl are so holier than thou.
Who's the drummer ?
the song was actually written by Hollyn, her version is unique
actually Lecrae wrote this with other people who helped write Anomaly. Hollyn just made a cover of All I Need Is You.
Michelle Shields ..yup hollyn just a made a cover for it..
Wreckt
My bad thanks for the info
who is it that I need I'm refeering to a lost person that need hope?

Lecrae says it is for everyone who needs someone? is this not for God? Lecrae is not clear about his position?
abel ngaliema he goes either way. He doesn't want to be in a box. Christians (and my background is Christianity) always want to put someone in a specific area and they can't break out. He's still giving glory to GOD no matter what and God understands that. Lecrae is trying to reach people who don't know God as well as people who do know God
No, Lecrae is not bold enough to present God, he is hiding somehow. He had a platform to perform a poem art BET, what did he do? All that he did was to speak about Civil rights and stuff, people are not saved by racial consciousness, they need the SAVIOR...LECRAE SOLD OUT

Sadly, a lot of mainstream Christian artists seem to get sucked into the world and it seems that the same thing has happened to Lecrae. Read Matthew 4 when Satan "offers" Jesus the kingdoms in the land, he was saying that if you follow the ways of the world (which means YOURE FOLLOWING SATAN) then you get to be famous and successful and stuff like that. It's a total shame how nowadays Christians are watering down The Message to satisfy everyone. We are NOT to satisfy people, we are to spread the gospel.
And remember, just because people worship God does NOT mean that their hearts are with Him (Isaiah 29:13). Even the demons not only believe, but will WORSHIP Jesus (Mark 5:7). Please be careful of who you are following and listening to because Satan /was/ and angel and so were the demons.
bry john he is just a sold out. and I have a very bad feeling with what is to come.
it's funny really. "talk about Jesus and all the Christians love you, walk like Jesus now they wanna crucify you." I mean if he walked up to a national tv show and just immediately talked about Jesus and how all need him... is he wrong... no, but how many are turned off from the gospel from people telling them they're wrong and sinners... many. a new graceful approach must be taken to reach the lost and show them why we need God and why we are broken sinners. silly to me when people wanna tear this man down when it's clear from this video and song he was pointing back to Jesus.
inspirational? what happened to GOSPEL?? major difference
Well it isn't gospel though, even bigger difference then what your confused about.
+Key Prince Gospel may speak to an older generation but what about our youth? Like it or not, rap speaks to them more than gospel so it's just putting God into a form they can relate too
+Nitro192 So should we replace the Gospels with rap songs, so the young generation can relate to it?... there's a danger in sugar coating the gospels, but if we keep true to what it is Romans 1:16 b "the POWER of GOD that brings SALVATION to EVERYONE who BELIEVES.." then we shouldn't be ashamed of anything..
peace be with you
Paea Tongatoutai Gospel comes in all forms, God never said it had to be slow, mellow music in order to spread the word. Lecrae who is one of the biggest Christian artists of our generation is a rap artist and has done more for spreading the word of God than anyone gospel singer. Don't be so convinced that you have to be old fashioned to be for God. The majority of great Christian artists who have helped spread the good word were not Gospel singers my friend, yet God spoke through them.
+Nitro192 that's cool nitro192 but you're comparing apples with oranges.. Lecrae and other artists are only new to the game... Charles Wesley an artist in the 1700's and king David... Before Christ.. Their hymns withstand the test of time and surely save millions wait no millions of millions, their hymns still sung today at our local churches don't wright them off, you could be singing them when you become 80yrs of age, but also a side note, lecrae had a chance to drop Jesus name but didn't... Unashamed?? Just wondering peace and blessings be with you brother
I hate how it seemed he went out of his way to not mention God.
ABitInsane there's straight up Christian singing songs that I've heard they're singing about God, but don't mention His name. What's the problem with that?
AndiNicole Official I mean, why wouldn't you at least mention His name?
Lol... This song isn't clear about the "You"...
Right? I wouldn't have minded at all if he kept it obscure, but he kept saying "somebody you love" and "you, girl" just to make it clear it wasn't about God... even though I definitely interpreted the lyrics that way, and believe they were supposed to have that meaning or that double meaning
probably because GMA wouldn't let him mention God
Lecrae is not singing about Jesus anymore why? Is he no Christian no more? Lecrae on Good Morning America? Lecrae I don't want to be mean but...did you sell out??? Please sing about Jesus again...otherwise your songs are meaningless
Katherine are you serious right now? What’s wrong with you, he’s repping Christ %100 in this song
Just because he doesn’t say “Jesus” every line doesn’t mean that he’s not a Christian and doesn’t make Christian music anymore. It also seems like a lot of people nowdays don’t realize that it’s not all about Jesus, it’s about God too.
Wa
he looks different...lighting? haircut??
he grew the top of his hair out then got a fade on the sides...it can really change the look of someone 😃
It’s a song about his wife lmao
1:25 Did Lecrae say "I need your S*x"! - Illuminati confirmed
Katherine, Naw he clearly said...”I need your sex”❤️💋
He looks like he is lip singing
