Up

[Intro]
Yeah
This just sound like somethin' about to happen
It's like, cinematic, you know?
Hol' up

[Verse 1]
I won't be discouraged
Uh uh, why would I quit?
Even through snakes and ladders and heartbreaks
I still gotta capture the win, that's for Jesus
Look at the blessings that we been receivin'
Though I believe it, I still can't believe it
Look at the harvest that we have been seein'
I feel like I'm in the Garden of Eden
We plantin' the seeds
I really feel like we takin' it over
Every day I feel like I'm gettin' closer
I'm doin' it free and I'm doin' it sober
But hol' up, He ain't been givin' me sympathy
He just been givin' me energy
He just be droppin' these bars
And when I don't pick it up, it's like littering
I'm gettin' threats from the enemy
These demons be treatin' me bitterly
They hate that my Father be giftin' me
With these metaphors and these similes
I gotta stay on the go
It's the only way I keep the energy
But I gotta stay on the low
'Cause the devil wanna put an end to me
He wanna ruin the vision
I cannot ruin the witness
I cannot get you to listen
'Bout makin' these stupid decisions
He want me to get the attention
So I gotta stop with the slippin'
Usin' me 'cause I'm forgiven
So guess how long I'ma be livin'?

[Chorus]
'Cause we goin' up
I'm thankful for that, yeah
Everything that He givin', I'm givin' it back
Look, I made a promise, I don't wanna break it
I'm givin' it back as soon as I take it
'Cause that's the only way I know how to thank Him
'Cause we goin' up
Just givin' you facts
Everything that He give me, I'm givin' it back
I made a promise, I don't wanna break it
I'm givin' it back as soon as I take it
'Cause that's the only way I know how to thank Him

[Verse 2]
Back to reality
I've been seekin' the kingdom, I still do it while the snake be after me
I'm goin' up, ain't never comin' down, I'm like, where is the gravity?
On the outside lookin' into my life it looks like a catastrophe
But it's really a masterpiece
I've drawn vivid pictures of my history
All my life has been a mystery
I used to let so many people get to me until I learned later that they envy me
I just go with the flow
And I pretend that I don't even know
And I pray when my energy low
That's the reason I'm still on a roll, I'm still on the go
Just listen to me
As soon as I turned my life around, it was given to me
As soon as I let go of sin, my life was a different movie
As soon as I feel like I win, the enemy keep intruding
And I keep improving
I promise you be goin' up, like there's levels to it
Like an elevator, and it's steady movin'
I can't sell my soul, I'm not gon' ever do this
Not worth the world, just to have me lose it
I was livin' abusive
I used to think I was dyin'
Now I feel like I'm flyin'
Heh, I feel like a pilot
That's 'cause

[Chorus]
'Cause we goin' up
I'm thankful for that, yeah
Everything that He givin', I'm givin' it back
Look, I made a promise, I don't wanna break it
I'm givin' it back as soon as I take it
'Cause that's the only way I know how to thank Him
'Cause we goin' up
Just givin' you facts
Everything that He give me, I'm givin' it back
I made a promise, I don't wanna break it
I'm givin' it back as soon as I take it
'Cause that's the only way I know how to thank Him
