Break It Down
LeCrae Song Lyrics

Let me tell 'bout my homeboy cory

This is the first verse of the very first story

Call it the first letter

You can call it whatever

Long as you hear the truth and leave surer than ever

Cory's a new believer actin' like he's in gang

He run around sayin his church is the greatest thang

He won't check a sermon unless its his bishops name,

It seems he forgot to keep jesus the main thang

Cause bishop ain't raise up after three days up

He ain't take ya case up

Offering you his grace huh

But cory stay divided all the time

Not christ but a man that he standin behind

I got this little letter, I'm tryna break down (break it down)

So you can hear the truth in the sound (in the sound) division,

A whole lotta sin I can't forget the problems of people living within. [x2]

I got this little letter I'm tryna break down

(Break it down)

But let me tell you cory background

He started off crazy, parties, full shawties religious ceremonies where people was gettin naughty

But all that changed

The truth of god reigned

The gospel spread within him, like viruses in his veins

But man even though his heart's rearranged

He found himself caught up in some of his old ways

He layin up with women his sinning was gettin strange

He thought the more he sinned the more jesus was pleased to save

He thought cause he accepted his brother touchin his mother

That he was spiritual cause he let'em get with each other

Cory had beef with another within the faith instead workin' through it they opened a court case

A slap to the face of the god who gives grace

Cory's outta place tryna carry his own weight

I got this little letter, I'm tryna break down (break it down)

So you can hear the truth in the sound (in the sound) division,

A whole lotta sin I can't forget the problems of people living within. [x2]

Now cory got married but everywhere he turns

He sees lust burn and women waitin' to serve him

Yeah an cory's learnin

Satan wishes to turn him away from his wife to satisfy all his yearnings

Divorce ain't legitimate

If both are regenerate

What god put together let nobody put a split in it

But see that ain't the end of it

He sought his own benefit

He would do things that his friends saw as forbidden

And though it was no sin in it

His homies they was ignorant and they were made weak cause his liberty was their hinderance

Unlike an apostle no concern for the gospel

No denying his rights nah homie wasn't that thoughtful...thoughtful

Maybe I should take a second to explain man that cory ain't a person but a group of people.

Many just like christians today - caught up in their own worldly culture no respect for divine authority, the lords supper,

And still exhalting gifts which are all given by the holy spirit.

They begin to value these things more than love for one another.

Everything we have is given by god who commands us to live outwardly toward others.

I pray none of us wrestle with the resurrection of jesus. holla at me if you do.

Above all things love god and love one another!
