Lecrae’s tribute Round of Applause track to graduates all over the world in which he states ‘Congratulations, you beat the odds’…Congratulations, thank God we made it’.
Lecrae felt so strongly about this track he even created a website where he placed the following message:
Proud of all the graduates out there. Never overlook the unique opportunity you have in education. There are many paths you could have taken, obstacles to deter you, and things to distract you, but you beat the odds.
Education informs and helps elevate the paths we will take. I wrote a song reflecting on my journey rejecting the low expectations set for me by culture and media. Know that I’m praying for all the grads out there to live for something bigger than yourself! Don’t waste your life.
Check the hook lyrics below:
We ain’t supposed to be here, never thought we see it
Now we living proof, tell the world to believe it yeah
Congratulations, thank God we made it
They told us we was nothing, now I know they hate it
Round of applause, round of applause
Congratulations, we beat them odds
Round of applause, round of applause
Congratulations, we beat them odds
There has been some controversy over Lecrae’s decision to add secular artist B.O.B on the remix of this track. Be sure to tell us what you think.
