Get Up

I'm on my own
Heart been far from home
I use the stone to make fire
Ignite the drive in my soul
Get up
That wasn't me
Get up

What you know about pushing it to the limit
Relying on your talent not knowing if you could finish
I'm trying to show them my gifts but not everyday is Christmas
And show me I ain't the wish up on they wish list

What I look like with bowed head
Black man never got the chance to throw a towel in
Weight of the world on ya shoulders from constantly taking poundings
If you walked up in my shoes you'd probably cave the ground in
Grand Canyon
Probably made from my ancestors
Through trials and transgressions
One L have your hope stressing
Two Ls is a life lesson
Yah said we can change that to a W
Can't stay running from your past one day must ask where are you running to

Get up
Get up
Get up
Get up

I'm on my own
Heart been far from home
I use the stone to make fire
Ignite the drive in my soul
Get up
That wasn't me
Get up

I pick my head up
For I'm fed up
You ask to reach your goals
But know only the demons sped up
Too prideful to put your hands in the air asking for a leg up
Stand in fire with some flour in the name of getting your bread up

Proverbs brother
Don't talk about it these ain't my words brother
Lean on him just like poured a 4 in stereos brother
Yall tryna weave though the cracks like it cyro
The word it last its not elastic this aint plyos brother
I tried those brother
All that you wanting he supply those brother
Not the vices he past like whats behind those brother
I thought he wasn't hear
But every time that I said he just uh appear
He was like I was there when you cut yaself and couldn't stomach it
When you was tryna find you some love so you went to Tumblr for some adult vids
When you tried track for one year and didn't know why you was running then
Had a convo and you got in a D1 college it's me
Aint no universe or coincidence
I made both so I'd know but some really can't tell the difference
Tried to run away but God hawked me down came in sprinting in

I found home
