Lecrae - I'll Find You

"Life is a precious gift. A gift we often take for granted until it is threatened. Pain can be a haunting reminder to appreciate every waking moment. So we wrote a song to share our hope in the midst of that pain. At the time of this song's composition, some of our loved ones were battling cancer. We wanted to encourage them to hold on and tell them we are here waiting, hoping, praying, and fighting with them. Some have been released from their pain forever, others are still fighting. Hold on..."

2004년 첫 앨범 [Real Talk]이후 2014년 [Anomaly]까지 7장의 앨범을 발표하고 있는데요, 빌보드 가스펠 차트(5개 앨범 1위)와 크리스천 차트(4개 앨범 1위)는 물론, 모든 장르를 포함하는 앨범 차트인 '빌보드 200'에서 [Anomaly] 앨범으로 1위에 오른 바 있습니다. 

그래미상 2회, GMA 도브상 7회 등 다수의 시상식에서 수상하는 등 크리스천 힙합 계에서 가장 왕성한 활동 중인 아티스트로 꼽을 수 있는데요, '쇼미더머니 5' 우승자 비와이가 인터뷰에서 LeCrae를 좋은 영향을 끼친 래퍼로서 언급했었다지요. 

이번 노래는 YouTube 영상으로 유명해지며 앨범 발표와 함께 2016년 그래미상 신인상 후보까지 오른바 있는 떠오르는 여성 싱어 Tori Kelly가 함께 해 주었습니다.

[Tori Kelly]

Just fight a little longer my friend It's all worth it in the end But when you got nobody to turn to Just hold on, and I'll find you ; I'll find you I'll find you Just hold on, and I'll find you

[Lecrae]

I'm hanging on by a thread And all I'm clinging to is prayers And every breath is like a battle I feel like I ain't come prepared ;

And death's knockin' on the front door Pain's creepin' through the back Fear's crawlin' through the windows Waiting for 'em to attack ;

They say "Don't get bitter, get better" I'm working on switching them letters But tell God I'ma need a whole lotta hope keeping it together ;

I'm smilin' in everyone's face I'm cryin' whenever they leave the room They don't know the battle I face They don't understand what I'm going through

The world tryna play with my soul I'm just tryna find where to go I'm tryna remember the way I'm tryna get back to my home ; 

But, I can't do this on my own That's why I'm just trusting in You 'Cause I don't know where else to go And, I don't know what else to do

[Tori Kelly]

Just fight a little longer my friend It's all worth it in the end But, when you've got nobody to turn to Just hold on, and I'll find you ; Just fight a little longer my friend It's all worth it in the end But, when you've got nobody to turn to Just hold on, and I'll find you ; I'll find you I'll find you Just hold on, and I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you Just hold on, and I'll find you

[Lecrae]

They say fear haunts And pain hates I say pain strengthens And fear drives faith ; And I don't know all of the outcomes Don't know what happens tomorrow But when that ocean of doubt comes Don't let me drown in my sorrow ; And don't let me stay at the bottom I feel like this hole is too deep to climb I've been lookin' for a way out But I'll settle for a peace of mind ; Picking up the pieces of my life and hopin' that I'll put together Something right Tell me all I got is all I need Tell me you gon' help me stay and fight

The world trying to play with my soul I'm just tryna find where to go I'm trying to remember the way I'm trying to get back to my home ; But, I can't do this on my own That's why I'm just trusting in You 'Cause I don't know where else to go And, I don't know what else to do ; 

[Tori Kelly]

No don't let the fear Make you feel like you can't fight this on your own ; You know I, I'll be there for you no matter where you go You'll never be alone, no

Just fight a little longer my friend It's all worth it in the end But, when you've got nobody to turn to Just hold on, and I'll find you ; Just fight a little longer my friend It's all worth it in the end But, when you've got nobody to turn to Just hold on, and I'll find you ; I'll find you I'll find you Just hold on, and I'll find you I'll find you I'll find you Just hold on, and I'll find you
