Truth Analysis

The song Truth by Lecrae focus’ on how every one is looking for truth to some extent. Every one in this world believes in something and wants to know what I real and what is not. Even Christians sometimes wonder if what they believe is true.


In the first verse of the song Lecrae is comparing the Christian beliefs and way of life to those of worldly people. He approaches it in a way in which he talks of the excuses these people give for their wrongdoings. “ They play the prostitute but they like to say they just intimate.” He does this to show you just how bad the excuses are and how hypocritical and lost these people really are.

Lecrae then speaks the next line of the song in which he fully explains what he was rapping in the line above while also answering a question that a lot of Christians are faced with by non-Christian people. This is the idea of what is true. Lecrae does this three times throughout the song in order to both give truth to both Christians and non-Christians and to also give Christian people good answers to give to non-Christian people in their daily lives.

During the second verse of the song Lecrae talks about how every one Christian or not is looking for their reason and their purpose on this Earth. Christian people find it in living for God while others find it in various way including sex, money, drugs, alcohol, etc. For people who refuse God, their purpose is themselves, there is nothing but self satisfaction.

At this point Lecrae resumes speaking explaining secular humanism and why it is completely impossible and generally stupid.

The purpose of this song was to let people know that they are not alone in looking for truth and that even if you are Christian does not mean that you should feel stupid or wrong in any way for wanting to make sure that what you are giving your life to is true. The other purpose of this song is to give people answers and to give them the truth. I have been asked questions and have been given excuses, and without this song, I would not have had the answers that I needed to answer them.
