[Intro: Sample]

"All right, did everybody get the message?"

"Yeah"

"That's good, because the message here is very important"


[Intro: Zae da Blacksmith]

Yo, it's Chriscentric Records

I got the family with me on this one

Apologist on the beat

Let's do this... yeah!


[Verse 1: Zae da Blacksmith]

Yeah, it's a brand new season

Like you're feeling the breeze combined with the heat

That's what you get when Christcentric speech is shining on beats

It's that Apologist, abide in Christ, melodic mystique

With Stract on the track, I'm like "keep rewinding it please"

Y'all know me, I like my rhymes rugged and the beat sickening

So don't sleep, beloved, on these brothers that I kick it with

Give you a little bit of what the Spirit works with His Word

He dispersed and we inserted in verses

Christcentric's the brand, the cruz fam

We carrying the torch but not in a group or a band

'Cause while the record label days is over, my label is getting stronger

Like when they put Jesus in that tomb but He rolled the boulder

It's called redemption, rebirth and perseverance

For which we give credit to the Spirit, even for these lyrics

As for the foundation of Christcentric

It's called finding peace in Christ

What a concept, right? Friendship

Who would have that the legacy of the traditional

Could be such a breath of fresh air, it's medicinal

As far as I'm concerned, this is what the genre's missing, dude

So sho nuff, I'mma be like "this what you should listen to"

It's music from and for the faith, plus we got official truth

20 years up in the game, still don't miss you with the troops

And I'm ready for another 10 and then some

Now let me bring my brother Chrys in, you're welcome


[Verse 2: Chrys Jones]

See I'm the drummer boy, but I spit it though

Mixing and mastering for the Master both in mono and stereo

So serious as a lyricist, making clear in this music

That the Savior is revealed, not mysterious

No subliminal back mask or hidden lights

If I'mma hit 'em I best believe I'mma give 'em Christ

He is the light who can give us life and fix our strife

Between His Father and the seed of Him who took the bite

We either chasing God or dreams, I pray I take the latter

And point the people to the King descending, Jacob's ladder

Without the King in these bars, this ain't no special music

We leading to the house of God, the real Bethel Music

I cut my teeth on sound doctrine, it's not an option

To offer up concoctions full of the world's toxins

Instead of tossing off the truth like we running options

Still offer listeners the gospel of adoption

I ain't concerned with being put on dudes' blacklists

I'm forging in my own lane like Zae da Blacksmith

It's feeling like the golden era, having flashbacks

Praising Christ with these artifacts, like Abstract

Bringing wisdom you can't find in most colleges

While polishing rhyme schemes and punchlines with knowledge in

Staying focused, no matter who acknowledges

We carrying the torch that was handed by Apologist


[Verse 3: Stract]

Analyze the timeline, for 20 years

You will find rhyme after rhyme for the divine shine

Yeah, it's a fine line between legacy and pedigree

We never hypothetically shooting for longevity

Readily we steadily place words to melody

Christ heavily stated while others try to sell a key

We'll never be jaded like dudes with the jealousy

Zealous we be on the mics, what they telling me

Didactic tactics, every tracklist

Stract be the least in the crew that is matchless

Catch this, flamethrowers is match-less

We covered in the blood, so the world say we match less

Game, set, match, less

Could be said, I'mma head for the Denny's, no racket

Attack it, that's what Zae said

So I'm back with the rapid

Flows from front to back, pack it

How boom-bap slap those who try to trap it

With the exception of Jones, I might clap it

We stand up to honor this Dominican Apologist

Trust he acknowledges where the real honor is

Crowns down to the ground, this is that sound

All hail to the King, we the background

It's Christcentric just to bring it back 'round

20 years in the game and it's us now


[Outro: Sample]

"If you don't get the message, you will"
