Make War feat. Flame

Intro (John Piper):
I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make War!

Verse 1 (Tedashii):
Bang with me/ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me/
No more playing games mane/cause this thang can get risky/
So mane if you in Christ/TAKE UP!!/your cross quickly/
Stand fearless on the frontline/time to come with it/
Do the right thing/WAKE UP!!/and lets get it/
I ain’t even in the ring/they throwing bows like Riddick/
Persistently attacking me/they’re even in the back of me/
It’s either fight or loose my life and I can’t take this passively/
So what you think I’m bout to do/I’m bout to do what I can do/
Trust the ONE who got me through/and fight like it was after school/
Never giving up/steady, standing on the battle field/
Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on Chappel Hill/
Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me/
Satan cheers me on/guilt followed by conviction/
It’s the same ol’ trap/and we fall like we defenseless/
Work your senses/grow in wisdom/stand firm and be relentless/

Hook:
I MAKE WAR!/Cause sin never sleeps/
It’s got me in a trance/you can see it in my dreams/
I MAKE WAR!/Man I beat my flesh/
to the death/every breath/like I beat my chest/
I MAKE WAR/sun up/
I MAKE WAR/sun down/
I MAKE WAR/time in/
I MAKE WAR/time out/
I MAKE WAR/against lust/
against pride/against me/until I die/

Verse 2 (Flame):
Do you even have a clue
What happened to you when He died
When that tomb got rolled when He rose in the sky
I think we emphasis sin so much
That it makes us paralyzed
And glorify struggle so much
That it makes us terrified
And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus
We gotta snap out of it
We aint in no straight-jacket
We free
When Jesus died in our lives something strange happened
He gave us power
Yeah I know that we sinners but since He rose He’s renewing the image of God in us
Now, we gotta start making war
Now we can start saying no
To them fleshy impulses that Jesus Christ is paying for
Now we can start taking the lead
Just like the Dalai Lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber
Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder
By His grace no time to waste and just just just like there’s no tomorrow

Hook

Verse 3 (Tedashii):
I’m a Christ representer, fin to stand and deliver/
cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda/
so I dropped this on an ADAT/just so you could come play back/
a hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back/
so listen up to it ASAP/like you do a Lecrae track/
I’m spittin’ written visions to put on heads like a wave cap/
sinning, nawl we don’t play that/cause that’s the way that a slave acts/
I’m filled with the Spirit so tell them dog this is pay back/
as you begin to copy the carbon copies of Christ/
and conform to His written image you should be shinning a light/
if you not, why is that?/
is it fear that’s been grippin’ you/cause you scared they’ll be dissin’ you/
flipping birds while that spit at you/
if you not, why is that?/
it don’t matter so bump it/perfect love cast out fear and He ain’t save us for nothing/
this is a privilege (privilege)/your life to give to Him (give to Him)/
so stand firm for Him dawg and lets get it in/

    One quick note. Not to sound whiny, but the line "And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus..." is not finished. Thanks. God bless!

  • JJG (Jun 17th, 09 at 9:05 PM) This song is HOT!!!-in fact its so hot that it has inspired me to write a skit for my church youth dept. titled - "MAKE WAR".

    Thanks T-dot for this wonderful song and inspiration! ~ JJG
  • Brian Sexton (Jun 20th, 09 at 4:14 PM) This song is amazing, it gets me pumped up
  • Chris Holloman (Jun 26th, 09 at 10:57 PM) Since I heard this song God has been preparing in me a message for my church. I get to preach it this Sunday. Thank you for letting Jesus use you. The war is won but as we fight in it daily we have the opportunity to learn more about the heart of the Father. Keep walking my brother.
    Your fellow bond-slave of Christ

  • Dwayne Eslick (Jul 5th, 09 at 3:41 AM) thanks brother... i am preaching this morning and plan on using a couple of the verses and the chorus in the message... praise God for John Piper's original message! It is encouragement! http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByDate/2002/84_How_to_Kill_Sin_Part_2/
  • Emmanuel Ivery (Jul 22nd, 09 at 4:33 PM) I wish the 116 can come back to Dallas; cuz I enjoyed the concert. I love this song so much. I can't say anything bout this, except the fact that it kills the flesh physical from sin by God's spirit. Dats awesome.
  • J-Reed (Aug 9th, 09 at 10:30 PM) hey, T-Dot, keep reppin da Lord erday baby, stand firm, love the track-love da whole album.
  • Grace (Aug 12th, 09 at 11:07 AM) Love the song! Did someone ever get the line from Flame's verse that's missing?
  • Neil (Jan 23rd, 10 at 8:26 PM) I don't understand the reference to the Dalai Lama. Does anyone understand why the reference is made? This is the only part of the song I'm struggling to understand. Thanks!
  • Nick R. (Mar 10th, 10 at 8:52 PM) @Neil

    He says to take the lead like the Dalai Lama, since the Dalai Lama is a leader. You could probably go even further and say it was meant to symbolize a religious leader. So perhaps Flame wants us to be a spiritual leader. He's not saying follow the Dalai Lama's belief system, just like he doesn't want us to be suicide bombers - but he wants to see that level of commitment from Christians.
  • Ben (May 10th, 10 at 4:48 PM) I love this song but i was wondering what the refence to Chappel Hill was about? i was thinking it was like some battle field or something but i went and looked it up and i havn't found anything as of yet.
  • (Jun 4th, 10 at 11:46 PM) Simply an OFF DA HOOK joint!!! Love the verses T dot and Flame spit on here!! keep it up Tedashii!
