After the Music Stops Songtext
von Lecrae

Yeah, I got a question, uh
After the show, after the set
After the music stops, what′s next?
Are we just writing songs
Or are we concerned with uniting a people
To follow the great commission of Christ?
Yeah, let's get it, let′s go

Back in the day, I was a lunch line rapper
After that, I guess I was a punch line rapper
Then I got saved and sometime after
Ya boy came back as a frontline rapper
And when I say the front lines
That's not a frontline
I'm out here preachin′ Christ on the front lines
And no it ain′t about rockin' stages
′Cause some of my engagements
Are out on the pavement, yeah


I'm out to take the bible, create disciples
Who make disciples, disciple-cycles
That′s why I want the beats to knock
So after the music stops you can meet the Rock
I pray, that you would know him well
This is like show and tell, it's more than a show
I′m showing you Emmanuel
So yeah, I'm hopin' that you′re likin′ the flow
But it's only so you could know the God I′m writing it for, let's go

After the show, after the set
After the music stops, what′s next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples?
Will you open your Bibles after the music stops?
After it's over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops?

I recorded a couple songs, some fast, some slow
So the listeners would know the importance of the show
The importance of the show′s not to excite these folks
But make God's truth relevant, ignite these folks
Discipleship is our call, but we make disciples
This is not a suggestion, create disciples
The teachin' is a process, It′s not overnight
And it′s not a stage and a mic, nah
It's life on life Christ


Walked with twelve, with twelve
The twelve, the twelve, invested in ′em
Well, you could say that he made the twelve
Who made many more, who made plenty more

Now it's on you and me if there′s anymore
One teach, two teach, three teach, four, teach
Five teach, six teach, seven teach more
This is what we've been commissioned
It′s the reason why I write
So that you could hear the truth
Not so you can say I'm tight, whoa

After the show, after the set
After the music stops, what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples?
Will you open your Bibles after the music stops?
After it′s over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops?

So, we write this for the right the speaker was righteous
And then we might check for a culture who likes the hype-ness
Some say we keep it crank, some say we hype man
We just wanna pump the resurrection of the Christ man

We in the -burbs and the hoods that′s hostile
We share a common view like synoptic Gospels
And you know we keep a couple young dudes around us
And teach 'em the same truth God used to ground us

This is a lifestyle so, when the mic′s down
I pray people follow Christ
When they turn the lights down
I pray that everybody playin' this song
Will be challenged by everything
I had to say in this song

I don′t do this for the money
I don't do this for fame
I don′t do this, so the industry can know my name
I do this and host to glorify Yeshua the King
If you're feelin' me, you know
You should be doin′ the same let′s go

After the show, after the set
After the music stops, what's next?
Will there be fellowship, prayer, disciples?
Will you open your bibles after the music stops?
After it′s over, after it ends
After the music stops, what then?
Will you understand that Christ is King
Or will you just like the words we sing after the music stops?
