Check In
Lecrae's "Check In" is a raw hip-hop track that uses the metaphor of addiction and rehab to describe spiritual brokenness and the need for divine intervention. The artist confesses his struggle with sin, comparing it to a drug that numbs but ultimately destroys, and expresses a desperate desire to be 'checked in' for healing. The song captures the internal war between flesh and spirit, acknowledging the cycle of failure while pleading for transformation. It's a candid portrayal of human weakness and the hope that God can break the chains of addiction to sin, pointing toward redemption and new life.
Yo, check me in
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Check me in
I know I'm sick and my addiction got me itchin'
Everyday I need a fixin'
I ain't quittin' till it kill me
Ya hear me, I like the feel but hate the taste of the product
Like the numb on the tongue when you taste narcotics
The bass gets to bumpin'
You can feel what I'm drummin'
Death is comin', I'm tryna warn 'em
That's why I was summoned
I know that they don't want it, they want what they can't have
Euphoria come and go but it's something you can't grasp
Yeah, we're grasping for the emptiness, hoping we can catch something
Hand full of scars, cuts, burns, as the flesh wants
Verge of insanity, stop me 'for I'm gone
I say I'm gon' quit but I'm at it in the morn'
It goes on and on and on and now I'm used to it
This a lifestyle now and I don't know what else to do
Got a war inside my soul and it's wantin' to break through
I'm ready for Rehab, jus' do what ya gon' do
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab
(Aye, aye, aye, aye)
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check me in now
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab, rehab, reha-ha-hab, ready for rehab
Rehab
