    Behind The Song: Sho Baraka Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Here, 2016 feat. Lecrae”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 11 July, 2017 | 0

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Sho Baraka. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Here, 2016 feat. Lecrae,” which comes from a popular colloquial in urban culture, I’m here for that.

    “When you see something you want to affirm or celebrate it’s like I’m here for that. I’m here for justice, I’m here for equality, I’m here for faith, I’m here for us fighting for politicans to be accountable.” – Sho Baraka

    “Here, 2016 feat. Lecrae” Lyrics

    Drums make the folks go dumb
    And make the folks go dumb
    Horns make the people turn up
    Yeah it make the people turn up
    Turn up, turn up
    We make the people turn up
    Church keys make the church folks sing
    Church folks sing, church folks sing

    Love over hate, love over hate
    I’m here for that
    Real over fake, real over fake
    I’m here for that
    Truth and faith, truth and faith
    I’m here for that
    Beauty and grace, beauty and grace
    I’m here for that
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, amen)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, amen)

    Don’t be afraid this is the future
    I know you ain’t met, I’ll introduce ya
    They might be cool but we are cooler
    We got class so let us school ya
    Fresh to death, like a million bucks
    I might just go a year in bow ties and chucks
    I might just go to church in an all white tux
    Yeah ya boy fly so you know what’s up
    Can the church say amen?
    I’m here for that
    When the system don’t love us, justice for the brothers
    Yeah, yeah I’m here for that
    You can tell all the haters with no hesitation I’ll take the reparation
    I’m here for that
    And tell all the rappers with the pimpin’ pimpin’ murder sell drugs I ain’t feelin’ that
    Woo, I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it)
    I do it for the nerds and the thugs, those overcoming drugs
    I’m here for that
    Give the children a little purpose
    Tell the politicians they serve us
    Make them nervous, I know they heard us
    Tell ’em we came here for the turn up

    Love over hate, love over hate
    I’m here for that
    Real over fake, real over fake
    I’m here for that
    Truth and faith, truth and faith
    I’m here for that
    Beauty and grace, beauty and grace
    I’m here for that
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, amen)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, amen)

    Yeah
    What up Sho?
    Just like old times, right?
    Look, I’m here for the young’uns with they pants saggin’
    And homies is flaggin, some say ‘What up ’cause?’ or ‘What’s bracking?”
    Nothin’ lacking on the corner, bread stacking
    Pray to God that nobody have to toe tag ’em
    He ain’t be trapping in a minute
    Use the re-up money for the tithes and the rent
    Told his baby momma that he love her any minute
    Pastor dipped him in that water after he repented
    Granny told him he don’t need a souvenir in church
    Straight up out the street, think he made the deacons nervous
    We just tryna learn a word and keep from getting murdered
    We be on that Kirk and Kendrick Sunday after service
    You can call it worship, Tamir Rice done got us nervous
    Innocent and killed like Christ is how they hurt us
    But I’m here for that
    Probably ain’t gonna get a lot of cheers for that

    I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it)
    I do it for the broke and the poor, those all feel ignored
    I’m here for that
    Tell ’em we woke and we alert now
    I promise there’s healing for your hurt now
    Yeah, tell ’em we came to put in work now
    Yeah, can I get a amen from the church now?

    Love over hate, love over hate
    I’m here for that
    Real over fake, real over fake
    I’m here for that
    Truth and faith, truth and faith
    I’m here for that
    Beauty and grace, beauty and grace
    I’m here for that
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the church say amen?)
    If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love

    For my sisters who be fighting for that justice, uh, I’m here for that
    Real fathers, loving on they wives and kids, I’m here for that
    My wife is classy but a little ratchet, yeah I’m here for that
    West coast feeling but I still live in the A homeboy, I’m here for that
    When I walk on the courthouse judge feel the case out, definitely here for that
    Y’know when that unexpected check comes in the mail, ’cause, I’m here for that
    Always here for that
    Uh, always I’m here for that
    Gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it

    It means to be broadened, y’know, beyond the understanding that black women are strong
    Body and souls and so we’re not only strong, we are, we are helpers
    We are lovers, we are fighters, y’know, we, we love strong
    But we are also human, y’know that mean’s we are vulnerable
    Y’know we are, we hurt, y’know we ache, like everybody else
    We need somebody, to, to be strong for us when we are taking the bumps
    The bruises we’re here on the frontlines, fighting so many battles
    That many people are not privy to and so I think that
    So y’know we are sisters, we are aunts, y’know we are deaconesses
    We are leaders in our churches, y’know, we are speakers
    We are writers, y’know we are corporate, y’know, CEO board executives
    We are advocates, we need our brothers to stand up and defend black womanhood
    Don’t silence us, y’know, be happy that we are here to enable you, to empower you
    But we also need that empowerment to go both ways
