IvyIm5ZpW78Lecrae to Release New Album ‘Church Clothes 4’ Nov 4 Ross Cluver October 27, 2022 Atlanta, GA (October 27, 2022) Lecrae is set to release Church Clothes 4 November 4, 2022. With this project, he boldly stands at the crossroads of sacred and secular, a lane he unashamedly accepts. In the ten years since the first Church Clothes mixtape (hosted by DJ Don Cannon) released in 2012, no one has been able to surpass the heights that Lecrae has reached crossing CHH over to the mainstream, planting his feet simultaneously in the street and the Church without compromising. While the critics blasted him for not picking a side, the people spoke even louder, downloading the music for the original Church Clothes over 100,000 times within 48 hours. On November 4th, he brings the righteous and ratchet together yet again and this time for Church Clothes 4, the last of the mixtape series! He maintains the unashamed posture reflecting on Romans 116, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to EVERYONE who believes first to the Jew, then to the Gentile!’ emphasizing that his music also is not just for believers, but for everyone! In Episode 2 of his Church Clothes TV short airing on YouTube, Lecrae explains, “I’ve always been a combination of my roots and my faith. I love God but I grew up in hip-hop and the hood. People always want to put me in one camp or the other. Truth is you (with me), you can’t have the righteous without the ratchet. They’re two sides of the same coin.” While Church Clothes 4‘s first single “Spread The Opps,” recognized the opposition, his second single “Fear Not” acknowledges that our faith in God is bigger than our deepest fears! On “Spread The Opps,” Lecrae states “I’ve been running for so long from the opposition. Since I was a kid, there were enemies, both physical and spiritual, that were trying to destroy me. I decided to stop running. This song, “Spread The Opps,” is me knowing that even in the valley of death, God is with me. He’s scattering the opposition.” On the second single, “Fear Not,” he shares,“Everyone deals with fear. I’ve met some of the most hardened criminals sitting behind prison walls confess their fears. Fear makes us run, or fight, or do nothing. I believe the cure is fear is faith. Faith in a God who is bigger than our biggest fears. We don’t have to be afraid of the dark. The dark is afraid of the light within us. Fear Not is the articulation of that.” “Fear Not” Lyric Video: “Fear Not” lyrics Intro Candlelight shines inside this pumpkinhead Waiting on the borderline Please don’t be afraid, or it’s gonna end Verse 1 I lied, I panic My mind wreaks havoc I cried, can’t manage I did my damage I came, I saw, I killed, I’m savage My crime so heavy, my sin left baggage Can’t stand it, a liar, cheater, and a killer Never meant to cause them damage Looking at me in a mirror I see myself and start to panic They don’t even recognize me when they see me coming all they see is fame They don’t know behind these Cartier’s, just a little boy full of pain Push me ‘round, put me down Touched the crown, took me out, yeah Vegas nights I gave the dice to Satan twice It’s crazy I ain’t dead And I should’ve called James White Flew into Memphis to hang out with soup and tell him that all ain’t right But I was afraid Confession bring you peace, secrets make you weep The devil like to feast on all your sinful feats One too many drinks, tell my mama peace Death is on my feet, let me rest in peace Interlude 1 [Speaker #1] Candlelight shines inside this pumpkinhead Waiting on the borderline Candlelight shines inside this pumpkinhead Waiting on the borderline Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid Verse 2 Don’t be afraid of them people Don’t be afraid of the evil They can mistreat us, but they’ll never take us from Jesus He’ll never let them defeat us They know that they’ll never beat us God, washed away all my evil, turned me into a believer You better believe it Put some more time on my meter I can not wait ‘till we meet Him They can not kill us, stop us, or condemn us They want us living like we ain’t the winners They keep on tryna tell us that they’ll never help us ‘cause we all a bunch of dirty sinners It go up, on my side All this weight on my mind Don’t you try, bring up my past ‘cause God erased my timeline (I’ll be fine) Ready for war, I put it all up on the line Too scared to fight then go let David and kill Goliath Walk through the valley, but the Lord is by my side He heard my cry Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down [Speaker #2] Please don’t be afraid, please don’t be afraid, be afraid Please don’t be afraid Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid Please don’t be afraid, please don’t be afraid, be afraid Please don’t be afraid, please don’t be afraid, be afraid Please don’t be afraid, please don’t be afraid, be afraid Please don’t be afraid, please don’t be afraid, be afraid Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
