Rise

[Verse 1: Datin]
I threw myself one big pity party
But I been the only guest invited I been
Lonely perplexed and crying depressed and whining
Thinking about this mess that I'm in
And this stress that I been going through
Because it's beating me down like domestic violence
Asking why would God allow this cause it's kind of foul
I am bound to this pity party you see
I would bounce and go outside the house but my ride is down
I can't drive around to get some air
Plus I got zero dollars in my account
So while I'm sitting here deep in depression
All my enemies are progressing and receiving His blessing
I been faithful but it's my integrity that's in question
Cause they slander me in the public planting seeds of deception
Is it me that He's testing and teaching a lesson
I was happy and had all my hopes and dreams in possession
But he took that and forced me into a season of stressing
He turned my world upside down like a scene from inception

[Verse 2: Stefan Otto]
Sober up son you wilin in this druken state
Tell me how a son of grace can wallow in this sunken place
Trials are for refinement but you letting it debunk your faith
Forgetting who you are a royal priesthood and a chosen race
Unto our Lord and Christ I hear about your life
By overcoming darkness is that proof that you an heir to light
Hear me right, as memory serves like a terabyte
You more than a conqueror but sounding like you scared to fight
Throwing this pity party plus I think it's odd
You confusing the two the will of man and the will of God
You giving off this vibe as if His character is villainous
Forgetting that your enemy will scope you out to pick you off
But it's still God's fault though? check the deception
Those reinforced lies skew reality perception
So lift your head this is a moment in your story
Where these momentary trials produce the greater glory
Rise up

[Verse 3: Datin]
Steph is correct as I reflect in the pen
Everything that he is saying is a definite fact
Has the Father forsaken me I have no reference for that
And that's because He keeps a perfect track record in tack
In fact, I survived some trials that's harder than this
I had to ball up my fist and brawl in the bricks
They sent some bullets my way yet all of them missed
But in hindsight I clearly see God in the midst you see
I survived somethings that should have left me traumatized
Within a few weeks my favorite uncle and my father died
Poverty hit us through my bedroom walls I heard mamma cry
Our jobs weren't paying much I chose to hustle on the side
I lost my bestfriend to a vehicular homicide
Rival gangs pulled up I'm thinking surely I'm a die
But then the Holy Spirit became my survival guide
He got me through worse than this so though I'm down
I will rise

[Outro: Stefan Otto]
That's right D rise up, rise up bro rise up
You got the victory in Christ rise up D
You got this, you got this bro
You got the victory already man Rise up
That's right Datin, a victor, a might victor in Christ
That's who you are so lift your head young king
And rise up
