I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections, And their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make war!
[Verse 1: Tedashii] Bang with me, ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me No more playing games mane Cause this thang can get risky So mane if you into Christ, Take up! your cross quickly Stand fearless on the front-line Time to come with it, do the right thing Wake up! And let's get it I ain't even in the ring They throwing bows like Riddick Persistently attacking me They're even in the back of me It's either fight or loose my life And I can't take this passively So what you think I'm 'bout to do I'm bout to do what I can do Trust the one who got me through And fight like it was after school Never giving up, steady, standing on the battle field Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on Chapel Hill Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me Satan cheers me on, guilt followed by conviction It's the same ol' trap and we fall like we defenseless Work your senses, grow in wisdom Stand firm and be relentless
[Hook:] I make war! Cause sin never sleeps It's got me in a trance You can see it in my dreams I make war! Man I beat my flesh To the death, every breath Like I beat my chest I make war Sun up I make war Sun down I make war Time in I make war Time out I make war Against lust Against pride Against me Until I die
[Verse 2: Flame] Do you even have a clue What happened to you when He died When that tomb got rolled when He rose in the sky I think we emphasis sin so much That it makes us paralyzed And glorify struggle so much That it makes us terrified And de-emphasize the fact That we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus We gotta snap out of it We ain't in no straight-jacket, we free When Jesus died in our lives something strange happened He gave us power Yeah I know that we sinners But since He rose He's renewing the image of God in us Now, we gotta start making war Now we can start saying no To them fleshy impulses that Jesus Christ is paying for Now we can start taking the lead Just like the Dalai Lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder By His grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no tomorrow
[Hook:] I make war! Cause sin never sleeps It's got me in a trance You can see it in my dreams I make war! Man I beat my flesh To the death, every breath Like I beat my chest I make war Sun up I make war Sun down I make war Time in I make war Time out I make war Against lust Against pride Against me Until I die
[Verse 3: Tedashii] I'm a Christ representer, fin' to stand and deliver Cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda So I dropped this on an adat Just so you could come play back A hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back So listen up to it asap, like you do a Lecrae track I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap Sinning, naw we don't play that Cause that's the way that a slave acts I'm filled with the spirit so tell them dog this is payback As you begin to copy the carbon copies of Christ And conform to his written image you should be shinning a light If you not, why is that? Is it fear that's been grippin' you Cause you scared they'll be dissin' you Flipping birds while that spit at you If you not, why is that? It don't matter so bump it Perfect love cast out fear and He ain't save us for nothing This is a privilege (privilege) Your life to give to Him (give to Him) So stand firm fo
