Down Upon Me

[Intro]
Imagine seeing your husband, brother, or father brutally killed by religious fanatics
That's what happened to many families when ISIS executed 21 Egyptian Christians in February
While the horrible video led to world-wide outrage, some families are happy that the martyrs kept their faith

[Verse 1]
Man, and I know that He all in the mix
And I know He involved, and that He watchin' my six
I don't only want to call him when I'm lost on a trip
I never wanna fall, y'all I got in my whip

Take the wheel just drive, I'ma chill just vibe
Been in a valley, tryna get up on that hill and stay high
I'm in the sky, looking down, it's a long way to fall
Take mе out the city gates and beat mе down like Paul

I never turn, see Christians getting burned at the stake
Middle East a little beast, and it's stirring my faith
Think about the martyrs, that's the word of the day
Would you die for the truth, or would you turn from His face?

I know You seated at the right, you see the people in the fight
But I know You died too, so we don't even have the right to question
We all die, are you makin' it to Heaven?
My breath is soon endin', my death is a true blessin'

I'ma rise, don't listen to the devil and his lies
He a wolf in sheep clothing, he a wolf in disguise
I'm in a race for the prize, and you cannot stop me
I know He up in Heaven, and He lookin' down upon me

[Chorus]
I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)

I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)

[Verse 2]
I'll be faithful 'til I die
I need to seek His face and turn away from the pride
I'm going through the fire, lift my face up to the sky
I'm chasing after God, keep me from chasing after lies

I don't wanna waste my time, I give it all for the ones who went ahead of me
Every day I'm tryna be a better me
[?]
I know that he tryna take my energy

Knuckle up, you people better be ready for the fight
The devil is petty, hope you ready to take flight
Just when you think you got it, steady, ready for the bite
The word is your machete, get it ready for the slice

Get it sharp, and never harden your hearts, put in on the platter
You ain't ever gonna clean it, you can give it to him tattered
You been going through the same cycle, it's a pattern
Let Him fight your battle, you can watch the devil scatter

Been there got the [?] for the proof
I was sellin' drugs, man I was hurtin' the youth
Gave up in the month of Mayy, I was converted in June
You ain't gonna stop me, and I know He up in Heaven, lookin' down upon me

[Chorus]
I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)

I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)

I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)

I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
I can feel the space, but he close, and I know he got me (Got me)
And I know that he watching me (Watching)
I ain't ever stopping, and I know he lookin' down upon me (Upon me)
