Young Nation Live – Echoes (All Day)

Echoes (All Day) is the first major single of 2021 for Young Nation Live, a Connecticut-based Christian Rap group. The theme of the song is heavily based on the Bible verse 1 Thessalonians 5:18, in which we are commanded to give thanks in everything. This theme is visually expressed in this Official Music video, where Young Nation Live (Dj.TAllent & Gabe) portray19th century field workers, at a local Mill. No matter the work or the task required, the Christian Rap duo is able to give praise and thanks to the Lord! Filmed by Erik D Media, Produced by Versus Beats.

Lyrics
(Chorus 1)

In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In everything give praise, to the Lord
So we gon’ give Him thanks, thanks all day
and we gon’ give Him praise, praise all day

In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In every way give praise, to the Lord
So we gon’ give Him thanks, thanks all day
and we gon’ give Him praise, praise, praise all day

  • Tim Verse-

The way I do it is different, the Spirit movin’ within it
I had to get with the body, cause I was too independent
I was out on my rogue , all on my own
Fake it til you make it I posed like I was on
But the lyrics I was spittin’ was really just causing harm
Justified abusing the body to show my arms
Flexin’ for the Gram couple grams in a cannon
Jack Daniels by the handle way more than I could manage
That party life was damaging cause it commanded me to try to one up,
Every buzz til I was done up
Too many nights stumblin’ in public, the fam telling you to “Man up!” try to prove that you rugged
We was all buggin’ we literally knew nothin’ bout glorifying the body
Sanctity of the temple
Sanctity of my mental, which comes from the Lord
Wasted all this time realized I couldn’t afford it!

(Chorus 2)

…to the Lord
In everything give praise to the Lord
In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In everything give praise, to the Lord
So we gon’ give Him thanks…all day
And we gon’ give Him praise , praise, praise, all day
In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In every way give praise, to the Lord…
We gon’ give Him thanks

  • Gabe Verse-

Spittin’ wickedness livid visions in symphonies
how on earth can I live like this
paying tax to the skin I’m in
My wage is death for the hours worked he done payed me well
Many times did I ponder living a life in hell
Eternally did my journal leak to the great beyond
I read the written the sentence fit in the path I’m on
Many evil days my minds a living scar
To pay the debt does it make the cents that done took me far
Off the beaten path I’m close to YAHWEH’S wrath
Hamashiak done paid the life for the light that we had
This the rehab to take the fruit from the vine that we have
This is benefit
Serve the master and tend the crop til the harvest hit
Written languages stricken down this is wisdom’s gift
There’s the proverb
Quotes to ponder
Takes me yonder
And now I wonder
Surely goodness and mercy follows me to the altar

(Chorus 3)

In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In everything give praise, to the Lord
So we gon’ give Him thanks, thanks all day
And we gon’ give Him praise , all day
In everything give thanks, to the Lord
In every way give praise, to the Lord
So we gon’ give Him thanks, thanks all day
and we gon’ give Him praise, praise, praise all day
