Xandria Cross - Take Your Medicine (CHH)

Xandria Cross - Take Your Medicine
Xandria Cross has released her latest Christian Hip Hop (CHH) track called Take Your Medicine.

Xandria is a 19-year-old from Knoxville, Tennessee. She has been writing songs for as long as she can remember. She graduated early from high school at the age of 16, in order to pursue a career as a full-time artist. Xandria says, “Music transcends languages. It’s timeless, it’s emotion, it’s pain and joy and love. It’s so special, and to be able to bring a new song into the world, that is totally unique and unlike anything else, inspires me. Music is a coping mechanism for so many, and I just want to be able to use my music to spread healthy, uplifting, encouraging messages. If I can’t be with people, to help and talk with them in person, it’s my hope that my music can lift them up in my absence.

In 2020 & 2021, Xandria embarked on a 20 city, 7000-mile national tour with the Extreme Tour. In 2019, Xandria was invited to perform at the Thunder Tent stage at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.

Take Your Medicine is a song about the crazy world that we are living in. It makes you ponder on the question: "What's the cure?" Xandria's answer to this question is clear and simple: "I thank God and my parents for the way they made me. Been beside me day and night through all the crazy. But my biggest thanks to JC, Cuz he saved me!"


LYRICS "Take Your Medicine": 

You’re so Ill take your medicine
In worse shape than the US debt is in 
Up so high so I jettison
Shed some light like I’m Edison
Just hold tight gimme stacka paper and a pen
Coming in like Kylo Ren
Kinda reckless kinda zen
Messed up too I can’t condemn
See the rules and I try to bend em
Y’all sleeping like stuck in R.E.M.
In a daze everyday till you hit the end
Better set your alarms while I said the trends
You and your friends busy straight playing pretend
If this is a game sorry but I transcend
On another level and it’s about time to ascend
Ain’t got time for your sin out here trying to win 
you can join me but don’t drag me back where I’ve been
No no no no
Cuz I ain’t going back there nah

All these crazy people out here loud can’t tell me nothing
I don’t listen ain’t because I’m proud
Cuz devils cunning
When they come around and ask me how
I say I’m gunning
In my circle I don’t stick around 
It’s cause I’m running (running)

Running the race
Chasing the faith
Yeah I’m kicking fear in the face
Pick up the pace
Path I picked a dangerous chase
Demons screaming block em out 
Can’t let em faze me
Satan call me 
hang up tell him not today please
Fortune tellers back off 
Say my futures hazy
You don’t know a thing hon
Heaven got the gravy
Everyone around me 
Saying I’m so wavy
Guess the army I’m in
Lil like the navy
Puttin in my time quiet
Nah your girl ain’t lazy
I thank God and my parents 
For the way they made me
Been beside me day and night
Through all the crazy
But my biggest thanks to JC
Cuz he saved me

I’d a been in an asylum
If he hadn’t come to see me
I can get a lil lost in my own mind
He brought relief 
Prescribed some good ole peace and quiet and he called for my release
All the haters gawking “my oh my has she got a disease?”

If he hadn’t brought me back to life by now I’d be deceased
If you preying on me stop I swear I won’t switch my allegiance 
Yeah you talk the talk a lot I guess I’ll call ya General Grievous
Sorry you ain’t got the force don’t see why you got a grievance

Bye bye good riddance
Have fun counting all your blue ribbons
Feeling free now I got my acquittance 
Done dealing with all these villains, villains, villains

With all these villains with all these villains with all these villains

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith: When Anxiety Meets the King of Kings

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith is proof that age has nothing to do with wisdom. Marlee (now 17 years old) wrote this song when she was 12, and captures something that most of us struggle to put into words… the overwhelming weight of unspoken emotions. Rediscovered years later, Marlee brought this song to life with a beautiful piano arrangement. Marlee shared: "I changed a bit of the chorus to have more of a purpose, learning from what I struggled with in the past." The song opens honestly: "Fill my brain with the feelings, good and bad, don't know what it is." Does this sound familiar? Whether it's anxiety, the pressure of impossible standards, or the fear that your mistakes have permanently derailed God's plan — Marlee names them all. She doesn't dress up reality and allows it to be messy.  As you listen, the message shifts. What started as "I can't let it out" gradually turns into an invitation as it reaches a turning point: ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Miracles" by Yair Levi: You Don't Need a Burning Sky to Believe

The song “Miracles” by Yair Levi starts before the sun rises, in the quiet of an ordinary morning. No dramatic sign. No burning sky. Just a man waking up, closing his eyes, and saying “toda” , the Hebrew word for “thank you.” That single word sets the tone for everything that this song is about.  The song’s message is simple and powerful… God doesn’t need burning skies to prove that He’s real. Yair uses a quote by Steve Jobs that reframes everything: “If you smile // if you laugh // You are more // Rich than me.” In the next verse, he continues: “Like a bird // On the breeze // Like the first time // You breath // Help me see // Simple things.” What if the miracle you’ve been waiting for is already here, hiding in plain sight? Levi points out that everyday life can be seen as sacred ground. Wherever you look, you’ll see small miracles. Think about the breath in your lungs, the morning light, your ability to feel joy… these aren’t small things, they’re miracles!  May this so...
