Non-Fiction - Lecrae/Unknown

Yeah it's all fact no fiction

It's my interpretation

Wanna know how it went down

I'll be tell ya

Yo biz turn me up a little bit in the headphones man

Yeah

Check it uh

I guess I take it back to graduation

Got my degree but writin' songs was my fascination

I got a job installin' cable then I got promoted

Moved out my momma house but

Still this music was the motive

Around this time I'm bumpin' Tunnel Rats and CMR

But Lil' Jon was on the radio and on the charts

I got creative took the money that I made

And bought a beat machine

Now it's me and T-dot up late

And I volunteer at detention centers to be a leader

I got these young dudes

Lovin' the way I eat the beat up

I ain't wanna blow up just wanna give 'em Jesus

Then ben startin' up

Reach records was all I needed

I hit the road on the weekends to do a show

Ain't ask for money but they still gave a lil' dough

Just a bunch of wild kids

In the front row

Like you ain't Lil' Wayne

You a lame man I got to go

But I did it and I was on a mission

And little by little a couple of 'em would get it

Was rappin' in the hood and folks broke down cryin'

That's when I knew this was

Bigger than me and bigger than rhyme

This is all fact it's non-fiction

You wanna hear the truth pay attention

And if I never got a mention mention

Still do it for the love and the mission

Yeah

My interpretation

Non fiction

It's all fact it's all fact it's all fact

It's non-fiction

Fast forward just a year later

I done drop my first album and

I'm feelin' like I made it

Goin' all around the world

Tryna tell them 'bout the savior

What else

And I ain't trippin' we ain't

Really gettin' paper nah

Nah I'm about to marry me a lady

I left my old job so I'm praying rap pay me

I drop my next album Jesus Muzik kinda major

I moved away to Memphis it was hot as the equator

And gunshots every night'll make ya wake up

Sleepin' on the floor hopin' you don't pick a stray up

Soup campbell took me in and got my weight up

Then I flew back to Cali started workin' on Rebel

Uh we had a feelin' it would be a problem

It's like the Lord wrote the whole thing

But at home I was havin' problems

Married life was like a bad dream

Yeah

Now we fightin' every day

My travel gettin' heavy two babies one baby momma

I'm arrogant and self-righteous helpin'

Everybody but my wife through the drama

Fact it's not fiction

You wanna hear the truth pay attention

And if I never got a mention

Still do it for the love and the mission

Yeah

My interpretation

Non-fiction

It's all fact it's all fact it's all fact

It's non-fiction

I need a new place new grace new city new state

Now we all headed to Atlanta

I'm stressed out tryna

Lead I'mma bleed myself burnin' out

I can see the pattern

I'm just writin' my pain over beats and

I'm guessing Rehab was the outcome

I wrote background at the kitchen table

I thought it wouldn't make the album

Shortly after I got a hold of Tim Keller's books

Man I promise you it's like my whole life changed

Andy Crouch wrote a book about culture-makin'

And after that I had to make a slight change

Ask the homies I ain't do it for the money man

Nah I made Church clothes out of love

And me and street workin' day and night

Wait a minute now gravity is blowin' up

I won a grammy and I ain't even trippin' on it

I got a mission that I'm fightin' for

I'm writin' songs tryin' to give ya substance

Yeah I'm writin' songs fightin' for ya soul

We may run at a different

Pace but let's continue the race

You runnin' yours I'm runnin' mine

I promise I left out a lot of details

Well gawvi said I'm outta time
