Up

[Hook]
The preacher said pray for us
So I send em' up, send em' up
Send em' up
The preacher said pray for us
So I send em' up, send em' up
Send em' up

[Verse 1: Spinz]

The preacher said pray for my congregation
I'm placed with a heavy load
My burden is weighing on my mind
About to explode dynamite
Don’t feel like I’m flying right
Feels like Christ just left me alone
Out of control
They say home is where the heart is
But that’s long forgotten
I just felt the promise
I just felt the cost is too expensive
For my expenses in this budget
Wasn’t room for any adjustments
I was just in a place where I had been disgusted
By the notion I was a leader
And a supreme being cheering on my team
Dreaming of cream
Even though cash ain't rule everything around me
Confess my faults to my creator who made me
Is like telling someone you love her
And find out she’s Satan
Though I was the light I’m only one candle
One soul channel, one man to understand
I can’t do everything
I can’t
So the shepherd told his flock
To ignite the spark in their heart
Find a way to forgive him for his shortcomings
I found it humbling the way he said it
So I forgave him, for His forgiveness
Is the first lesson He taught us
When He told us
To put em’ up

[Hook]

My momma said pray for us
So I send em' up, send em' up
So I Send em' up
My momma said pray for us
So I send em' up, send em' up
Send em' up

[Verse 2: Spinz]

My momma said pray for the family
There's roaches in the pot
Stashin the Glock in the orchards
I was only twelve when I left off my first twelve shots
My momma said please pray for the family
The next day my Daddy died tragically
The doc said he had beat his bout with cancer
But I guess God had given me his final answer
I was backstage when I got the phone call
And still played
Still did my show that night
Though my heart was in another place
Not flesh of my flesh
Or bone of my bone
You took me in and you gave me a home
I was fourteen years old
Out of control
This rap life was something that I had in my soul
So we would sneak out to L.A. just to make a name
Sneak back through the window by five a.m
Just to get to sleep by six
School by eight
You gave me a proper base from a life that was a waste
Nurtured my talent and showed me the right way
Showed three hundred kids the same

[Hook]

Reks said pray for The Bullies
So I send em' up, send em' up
Reks said pray for The Bullies
So I send em' up, send em' up
Reks said pray for The Bullies
So I send em' up, send em' up
Reks said pray for The Bullies
So I send em' up, send em' up
