Jabez “Power” featuring T-Strike Out Now
“Power” is a high-performance anthem that blends the intensity of a high-speed chase with the conviction of a Sunday morning testimony. Jabez and Tstrike trade rapid-fire bars, utilizing aggressive metaphors—comparing the Word of God to a weapon and a “double-edged sword”. The track centers on a massive, anthemic hook: “If Jesus Christ within me, I got power like a Hemi”. It is a celebration of spiritual transformation, moving from the “unforgiven” lifestyle to a life where God has “put a ring on it”.
“Power” addresses the “Holy Culture” movement, which seeks to provide a spiritual alternative to mainstream hip-hop culture. It leans heavily into the “sports and military” metaphors common in Southern urban environments referencing Deion Sanders (“Prime”), “making plays,” and “Hemi” engines to illustrate that spiritual strength is just as rugged and competitive as physical strength.
Lyrics:
[Intro]
Hey look, we ain’t sparing none
We gonna keep it 100, man
Everybody just letting everything go, let everything fly, man
You can’t do that, man, you following the culture
You got to get with the Holy Culture, you feel me
You hear dat
[Hook: Jabez]
I’m married to my Bible, I might put a ring on it
I use it like a weapon, I might put a beam on it
Forgot we making plays, I swear my whole team on it
If Jesus Christ within me, I got power like a Hemi, okay!
Hey, this one for the ones who overcame
You still standing when you could have went insane
You fighting demons but you still praising
His name, that’s right You got haters but you focused on the King
[Verse 1: Jabez]
The old life that I was living was so unforgiving
I had to go see now God is my witness, I thought I was tripping
Was blind, but I can see now I ain’t never been acquitted
But I had to give up on my worldly ways
Yes, “One Way Entertainment,” need that new type of money, the one at the pearly gates
The Devil can’t play me, I be in my word for real, like a syllable
Used to be the type to only call on God when it get critical
Look, ride with Christ, my pride aside, He put a ring on it
This right here so different, had to put a theme on it
Like, Live Life Music, please don’t confuse it
All for His glory, this not for my music
Do it for the Vine, see that ain’t gonna do it for me
I’m a jump straight to it
Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman
I caught the alley from Jesus Although we make it look easy
We putting in work,
Hey Strike, how you going this season?
[Hook: Jabez]
I’m married to my Bible, I might put a ring on it
I use it like a weapon, I might put a beam on it
Forgot we making plays, I swear my whole team on it
If Jesus Christ within me, I got power like a Hemi, okay!
[Verse 2: T-Strike]
I got a double-edged sword on my hip like a pirate
When I get to swinging, all my ops get quiet
They can’t disturb us like my phone on silent
We taking back by force, so it might get violent
Build God’s Kingdom up, we touch Satan’s down
Money out of luck when we come around
Tearing down the walls when the trumpet sound
We ain’t saving stuff, we gon’ burn it down
The way we make the play, would have thought we was signing
Ain’t talking Deion, but I got it in prime
He putting out the demons when they get out of line
Boy, it’s power in that Bible, so I’m standing in mine, like
[Hook: Jabez]
I’m married to my Bible, I might put a ring on it
I use it like a weapon, I might put a beam on it
Forgot we making plays, I swear my whole team on it
If Jesus Christ within me, I got power like a Hemi, okay!
