The Good LIfe

Posted on January 19, 2012 / by Trip Lee
   For the first half of 2011, I did no songs, no features, no shows, no nothing. I moved to Washington DC and took about 5 months off for a pastoral internship. Even though I wasn't traveling the world and standing in front of a sea of people every night, it was one of the most fruitful seasons of my life. When the internship ended I started traveling again and slowly started working on new music. Around fall I kicked into full gear working on my fourth solo album. And after months of hard work, the album is pretty much done. 

   I can't even express how excited I am to release it. I'm always looking to give people something I haven't given them before. I don't want to remake an album I've already made. I want to give you a new album, with new music, and new ways of celebrating the same old truth.

   In 2006 on my first album, "If They Only Knew", I wanted to tell people about a glorious God who I wanted them to know. In 2008, "20/20" came out and I wanted to encourage folks to see the Lord with real vision. 2 years later, "Between Two Worlds" dropped and I wanted to make sense of what it means to live life in a fallen world while waiting for a Hero to save the day. And this year, beginning April 10th, I want to explore and redefine "The Good Life." Though the world, the flesh, and the devil lie to us about what the good life is, we don't have to be controlled by those lies. We don't have to be robots. We can choose life. I want to challenge the lies we've been told, and present a new and more glorious picture. Join me on this journey.

I'll be living the good life when I get to hear this album. Lol. Trip, your lyrics continue to get deeper as you continue to write. It started with the basic principles, but now we're hearing feelings, emotions, actions, and everything in between with your music. I hope this new project brings more depth to your music, like all of your projects have.

I was wondering why he wasn't releasing anything lately. I'm really glad that Reach is the kind of label that allows their artists to take time off to do things like pastoral internships. Does anyone know where I can download a Trip Lee sermon? Haha. Anyway, lookin forward to the album bro! My iPod is ready!

Itâ??s good to see that you took time to focus on your pastoral internship. But itâ??s also good to know that youâ??re back at it like a rap addict again. God has done great things with you. He has blessed me through your music and I pray that he continues to bless you in many ways in your ministry, in your family, and in life in general. I like the title â??The Good Life" because he gave his life. That message never gets old. "So keep telling the story, cuz it never gets boring, but itâ??s more than just a story Iâ??m telling you what he did for me." Alright I'm know I'm dumb I'll stop playing around. Keep it up God Bless you and the rest of the Reach Family.

But hey I cant wait as always I'm sure its gonna be dope. God Bless you and the rest of the Reach Family.

Hey, Trip man its amazing to see what God is doing in your life. For a while i was wonderin if you were goin to make any new songs. But the fact that the wait was for you to prepare to become a pastor really shows how much you love Jesus. Which is something that everyone has seen and wants to keep seeing... but music wise you got some talent bro.

Hey! All these christian rappers, from Trip Lee to Lecrae, yall are all amazing. I do a lil christian rapping in my spare time..and i just thought u should hear a lil "somethin somethin" i made up... I used to listen to all these secular artists...but i realized that the themes of those songs are all about drugs, sex, and how much money i make an hour...so this is just a "Christian Remix" to a famous song called "Ball so hard" (i think that's what it's called)




-God So Good
Sinna's trynna sin me
First, Christians
Gotta find the High-Priest
What so good, bout a wretch like me?
Judo-flip my life
Call up the man Jet Li
God so Good
This life Crazy
Yall don't know?
Sin don't phase me
Gotta give props to the God
Who made me
God so Good
My life is His
We aint supposed to be here
God so Good
But since we here
Lets praise his name
I spit
Advocate
Lamb of God
Perfectionist
Call him:
Lion
Servant
Prophet
He owns me
He owns the hood
Just to let u know
My God so Good

I don't believe what they say. Which is reach records is just like jay-z and is part of the illuminati. I think it is absurd because their lyrics clearly serve god but what I can't understand is why they do things like them. Why is his one eye covered up in his album artworks. This makes is what makes people wonder. Also why do they wear obey propaganda. That is clearly representing bad things.

I'm glad that trip is coming out with a new album I hope its more live than the 3rd, between two worlds was a bit too slow at times & a little depressing. I hope God gives him good success & his song stays on 106 this time. The robot single is ok but I think he can do better & I hope he doesn't use a bunch of those cheesy beats from cheesemakers or whatever the producer name just 1 beat at the max 2.
