Acclaimed Christian Hip Hop icon Lecrae features the one and only John Legend in the single Drown – His third off anticipated album RESTORATION.
I’m excited for you to hear ‘Drown’ with my brother, John Legend. We labored on this one. Even after the initial session we jumped on FaceTime to tweak it. The man is as equally talented as he is humble. His gift and passion bleed thru this song.

“Deep End” is a lamentable track of Lecrae’s pain over George Floyd’s death.
The vulnerable track talks about his struggle with his faith and being a black man in America. The chorus samples John Summit’s May 2020 track, “Deep End,” which lyrics are slightly altered Sleepy Hallow & Fousheé’s April 2020 track, “Deep End Freestyle.”
Following the YK Osiris-assisted “Set Me Free,” this track is the second single off of Lecrae’s 2020 long-awaited album Restoration.
On June 3, 2020, Lecrae released a snippet of a track on his Instagram and Twitter.

[Intro]Right now (Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now)
[Chorus: John Summit]I’ve been tryin’ not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I’ve been tryin’ not to—
[Verse 1: Lecrae]Uh, stay on point, I’ve been tryna save my voice
But y’all gave me no choice
The world gone mad, can’t ignore this noise
Look at these people found dead in the streets
I got some partners that hate the police
Me, I’m just tryna hold onto my peace
‘Cause I’m liable to lose it and go get the piece (Yah)
I need a reason, I need a season
Pleaded with Jesus, all of this grievin’
They be like, “F you and what you believe in”
I do not trip, I keep it G
What in the H you sayin’ to I? (I)
Ain’t no JK when I’m talkin’ to God (God)
Don’t need a reason to open my eyes
If I’m still breathin’, I’m runnin’ for Ahmaud, man (Runnin’ for Ahmaud)
[Pre-Chorus: Lecrae]Uh, yeah, I’ve been doin’ better than I was before
I walk with a limp ’cause I’ve been wrestlin’ with the Holy Ghost (Ghost)
Deep end of this pit, but still somehow I keep on floating on
Thought I lost my grip, but God reminded me He’s holding on
[Chorus: John Summit]I’ve been tryin’ not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I’ve been tryin’ not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I’ve been tryin’ not to—
[Verse 2: Lecrae]Yeah, I might go crazy
I might go MJ back in the 80s
Back in the 90s, I might go off
Or they better not try me, it might get dicey
I ain’t tryna go back to the old me (Nah)
I’m tryna hang on like my mama told me
Sometimes legs get weak and your arms give out
And you sink to the bottom slowly (Sink to the bottom slow)
A grown man wishing that somebody hold me (Hold)
Never knew my daddy, so nobody show me
Taught me how to walk through the storm when your heart feel heavy
And it’s hard and you’re feeling lonely
But lowkey, high priest got the keys to the kingdom
High key low enough to bring ’em
And I need all of what He’s bringing
I might go off the deep end, I just need another reason, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Lecrae]Uh, yeah, I’ve been doin’ better than I was before (Woo)
I walk with a limp ’cause I’ve been wrestlin’ with the Holy Ghost (Ghost)
Deep end of this pit, but still somehow I keep on floating on
Thought I lost my grip, but God reminded me He’s holding on
[Chorus: John Summit]I’ve been tryin’ not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I’ve been tryin’ not to go off the deep end
Give me a reason
I’ve been tryin’ not to

LYRICS
[Intro: Lecrae]
Zaytoven
Yeah
What up West Coast?
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
What up Southeast? (Daygo)
Raised me to be a lil’ beast (Yeah)
Caught a couple fades in the streets (What?)
Played on the beach (Huh)
Playin’ records with my Uncle Keith
I hit the fam all for the beats (Yeah)
I’m rollin’ down Imperial (Imperial)
Old school in my stereo (Woo)
From Skyline, you don’t hear me, though (Skyline)
I took a road trip to Long Beach, hit the wrong street
And they bang on you, but I’m good, I know Mozzy (“Where you from?”)
Got a cousin off of Wilmington and El Segundo
Yeah, that’s Compton, where it get hotter when the sun low
Visit greats down in South Bay (What up, Steve?)
Ate good, thank God for my people in the hood
I grew up in the ’90s (’90s)
Peter Pan Ave., you could find me (Yeah)
Posted with my cousin right behind me (Huh)
Every single summer I was lookin’ for the come up in that Southern California sun bright enough to blind me (Bling!)
California dreamin’
[Pre-Chorus: John Givez]
Where they throw hands in the back alley, ooh
Wakin’ up police, yeah, that’s how we do
Gotta stay up out the way, yeah
Young hitters outside everyday, yeah
Chin up, chest up, can’t let ’em see you break down
Fiends on the corner, it’s the Devil’s playground
Beautiful, but dangerous
Prolly why they always out there dreamin’, like
[Chorus: John Givez]
Cali dreamin’
Cali dreamin’
Cali dreamin’
Cali dreamin’
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
It was all a dream, Southern California’s the real thing (West Coast)
That’s when I saw some people turn into real fiends (Whoa)
Helicopters in the sky, put that light off in yo’ eye
I was just a teen doin’ my lil’ thing (Yeah)
And Mexicanos got them hydros on the low-lows
They was so dope and I was sold on
Couldn’t wait ’til I could roll on, ha (Woo)
I was doin’ out there doin’ dirt all by my lonesome (Lonesome)
Stealin’ candy from the store, I’d let you hold some (Ayy, whatchu want, fool?)
Granny havin’ Sunday service in the back room (Hallelujah)
I was runnin’ from it, but I guess she prayed me back to Him (Yeah)
Palm trees, sea breeze, BCs, BGs to the OGs sippin’ on a OE (OE)
H-Town made a screw-up (Screw-up)
And Cali showed me gang signs that I threw up (What up?)
The hood called me OG ’cause I blew up
It’s all God if you knew the way I grew up (Yeah)
California dreamin’
[Pre-Chorus: John Givez]
Where they throw hands in the back alley, ooh
Wakin’ up police, yeah, that’s how we do
Gotta stay up out the way, yeah
Young hitters outside everyday, yeah
Chin up, chest up, can’t let ’em see you break down
Fiends on the corner, it’s the Devil’s playground
Beautiful, but dangerous
Prolly why they always out there dreamin’, like

RCA Inspiration’s artiste and record smashing Diva Koryn Hawthorne paired up with CHH Frontliner Lecrae to give an enthralling performance at the Super Bowl Celebration all thanks to BET.
Guess its not far fetching to say ever since Koryn gained stardom at the The Voice, singing contest. Indeed, as only 21years of age, Unstoppable is the word that comes to mind at the mention of the name Koryn Hawthorne. Who would have thought Hawthorne was going to be the first woman to top four gospel charts simultaneously in five years as well as the longest number 1 female artist holder on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs Chart yet she did anyways.
Gospel music lovers could not help but savor her sublime
Unstoppable is basically a song of encouragement and hope to that Guy / Lady that is having it rough, remembering that our hope and our gaze should be on the lord because he never fails.
