[Hook]
Wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
I wake up before I throw a beater on, I thank the Lord for peace, or you can say shalom
I’m on and I’m gone out the door I’m gon’ rep my home. New Jerusalem, yeah you know where we belong
Got the Word in my heart. When the day start and the darkness wanna get us sparked up
So I keep a guard up, cause the sin in me wanna get the best of me and have me all scarred up
And I know I’m marked up by the Spirit still in me, fillin me up with everything I need
Yeah I got that cheese, but I don’t need a piece, I just need peace, please.
This life ain’t easy matter fact its opposite and I got the test results I’m very positive
That’s why I’m on this track with PRo because I’m posed to give some potent portions of potion proportionate to poster kids
Of pain and suffering whose daddy never loved on them, and wouldn’t know the peace of God if it was placed in from of them
And I was one of them, I don’t take my life for granted
So I'mma use this day tryna share my faith and pray that seeds are planted
[Hook]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
[Verse 2: Derek Minor]
Early in the mornin A.M., you know that I thank Him ’cause He still calls me clean regardless of the mess I lay in
My vision on the throne, clearer than Petrone, yessir I am gone, in my zone, thinking ’bout the way my Father put me on
It’s nothing but grace how He’s still gives me faith and He died for the ultimate villain
After this I obey regardless I’m chained when I should have been dead but I’m livin
See I know when I’m wrong He won’t leave me alone that’s the beauty of God and His mercy.
So I’m singing this song about Him on the cross where my heart was the item of purchase
While livin' with pride – so worthless
Say they wrestle and fight – but I merk it
Whether live or down, dedicated to Christ, yessir I'mma stand on my purpose
Put my faith in Him cause He’s perfect
Insurance like Geico, ’cause if I do not have His love I’m Norman Bates – psycho
I go hard, I still Rebel with Lecrae
Give my whole life for the King, don’t Trip just let Him Invade
I Sho Baraka Obama this peace is more than just worth it, so call Tedashii tell him Identity Crisis averted
[Hook]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
[Verse 3: Lecrae]
24/7 all the time, yeah I’m on my grind, dyin’ everyday I’m tryin’, rhyme, hope to save they lives
Peace – what I got, I feel released from the knots sin bound me in but Jesus had the keys to the locks
Life is boot camp, yeah I know the drill, flesh kill, but His will, it’s with His peace that I’m filled and it’s real
Earth is not my home, while I roam and roam, got the Lord up on my dome restin’ in that new shalom
See it goes C.H.R.I.S.T. G.O.D. His spirit inside of me
And without his L.O.V.E. I’m another lost soul so obviously
When I drank the Livin’ Water that’s nothing more than a product of the grace through faith that I found in Him
The love He gives could ac-curse of sin, why should I ever give in?
So chase that money, get your wrist cold as refrigerators
I will be an outcast ’til He raise me up – elevators
Me and you, yo momma, yo cousin, my brother, pray we never sell our soul for a chance to be stuntin’
’Cause everything that’s good in me the Lord He’s done it, run it
[Hook]
I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees, thank the Lord for the new Shalom
I-I wake up, I-I wake up, I-I thank-thank-thank the Lord for Sha-Sha-Shalom
