The Top 5 Songs On Lecrae's Gravity(In My Opinion):
5.Lord Have Mercy (Feat. Tedashii)
Ahh this song always gets me pumped up. The hard 808's, the chopped and screwed chorus, and most importantly the delivery that Lecrae & Tedashii bring on this makes it no less than excellent. I couldn't think of a better song to rival Kanye West's "Mercy"(Although that was not Lecrae's intentions whatsoever)
Notable Lines:
"I was Tarzan raised by gorillas and a beast/ High on them trees when I gorilla the beat"
"Jesus turned me round so fast that you would swear I was dizzy"
"Turn up boy, Turn up Boy, Turn Up Boy!, TURN UP!"
4.Confe$$ions
This is a very important song on the album to me. A lot of reviewers seems to detest this song saying that it slows down the listening but I don't think so at all. This fits the concept of "Gravity" very well. Being held down by the idea of money buying you happiness and having money means you're "Living The Life". This is one of my personal favorites and it deserves a top 5 spot.
Notable Lines:
"Ever see every sea on your own personal yacht? Take a jog around your block that you bought from selling your stock? Not"
"They don't believe in karma but they believe in commas."
"It all falls down even if you got you're cake up"
3.Walk With Me (Feat. Novel)
Sampled beat, hard hitting drums, amazing lyrics and amazing singer. All this adds up to one heck of a song. This song does wonders to my soul. Every time I play it its hard to skip over. This song is a bonafide classic and its replay value will last a long, long time.
Notable Lines:
"Ahh I'm on a mission they probably think I'm missing some screws but its these 3 nails that keep me driven"
"I wanna walk with Jesus but my legs too heavy/ I'm hopin' prayer works cuz they walls can't hear me"
"Ain't gotta get me out just get me through 'til the end"
2.Free From It All (Ft. Mathai)
Judging by what I said about "Walk With Me" its clear that these top 2 songs have to be amazing and yes, they are. "Free From It All" does something to me every time I hear it. Its a very well put together song and there's no denying the realness behind it. I love the message behind it and Mathais vocals are flawless. If "Walk With Me" is a classic then this is BEYOND that.
Notable Lines:
"None of its real its just photoshopped"
"The higher that I go the more unforgiving they are"
"Ladies spending time on they faces painting pretty lies/ To you and me its make-up to her its a disguise."
1.Falling Down (Ft. Trip Lee & Swoope)
I may or may not have some "nay sayers" about this song being number 1 but there's no denying that this is a top notch, high quality song. The beat is very well orchestrated, the song is put together very well, the flow/delivery was intense, the mixing/mastering is out of this world and the message is phenomenal! This is definitely my favorite song from Gravity.
Notable Lines:
"So psychotic we still partyin' like we not sick"
"I see them child souljahs they was loadin' up some AKs/ Ain't playing Modern Warfare dont you know ain't a war fair?/"
"Dreamers steady dreaming but ain't no hope here/Ain't no satisfaction in money, women, and clothes here/"
All in all the whole Gravity album was great but it was so great that I had to pick my top 5 favorite songs. This is the kind of project that its hard to pick one favorite song which makes it excellent. The order of this top 5 might change from the time to time(except for Falling Down) but at the end of the day this project is a classic.
