Don’t be quick to judge, but instead…if you see or hear something questionable or have ill thoughts towards someone or something, “Lift it up 1 time”. Hope for the best. You never know, our actions just might be that thing to push that person or circumstance over the edge, good or bad.
LIFT ME UP 1 TIME
1st Verse
You doubted me?
Never should've doubted me
If God is for me
Who gon’ mess around me
Check out my surroundings
Hell around this angel
90 degrees
Standing from the right angle
More than a conquerer
So that don't really bother me
Fake it till I make it?
I believe in honesty
But I get the policy
Gotta keep pushing
You ain't where you wanna be
And so you keep looking
Every persons got their own
Path that their treadin’
So looking at the next man
Gotta change the settin'
Gotta ease that tension
Been there and done that
So you hate my passion
Nothing I can do with that
And I hate your attitude..
But you gon be you ya?
Why they wanna prayer hate?
Why they gotta do that?
Entered the industry
Innocent and passionate
Lord be a fence
In this neighbourhood of savages
CHORUS:
You see a brother slippin', Don't cause division “LIFT ME UP 1 TIME
If my wifes start trippin' and we start thinking different “LIFT ME UP 1 TIME”
And if you see me on the block gettin' stopped by the cops “LIFT ME UP 1TIME”
You hearin' different? Stop your ears from itchin' “LIFT ME UP 1TIME”
2nd Verse
I’m called for such a time
That something I believe
Living my future
When my history is Kool Moe Dee
Stetsasonic, BDP, and DJ Red Alert
The first time that I heard KANE
I was in the church
My buddy brought me in a room
And told me take a seat
This the dude that people
Rave about up in the streets
A kid in a candy store
Is my best description
I had a spark
And afer that
I started having visions
Travel Fox, JV Suits, Kangol hats galore
Out to show Special ED
Who’s the youngest in charge
Looking back
It all makes sense
Of how my life's positioned
Birthed out of hip hop
A born again christian
See every Sunday
I was sitting in the church pew
I was Jesus kid
But hung with crooks too
So if you see me in the mix
Don’t question my salvation
Just lift me up
Cause every move I make
Got satan Hatin'
