Rise up rise up Rise up rise up Rise up rise up when the waves of life come crashing through you You been given everything you need you a precious seed don't ever let it keep you When the waves of life come crashing down rise above don't ever let it sink you Me I don't like to tell people what to do but I'm speaking from experience If I can help another person out going through this hell then I hope they hearing this Like when you going through the hardest times won't you read the book You can hit the ball court hard get them shook You a son of the most high not a crook Why you on the block bad boy with the hard look? I've had a hard time since I was a baby Struck down to the ground my life crazy Tragedies hitting my family Copas no longer coping like Day Day I've got to do the hardest thing that a man got to do bow down give it up that's real talk If you want to go your own way that's death without life you outlined in white chalk Already real recognize real everybody want the truth yo I don't want to blow it We living in a culture where the people turn up but they better humble down before it's too late to slow it So when you want to be picked up raise your hands up to the father like a little baby do You ain't got to live your life on your own when the waves start to crash have a team by you And I ain't talking about a team where you have to be initiated just to be accepted This is your right of passage you a human being come and get connected When the waves of life come crashing through And they knock you down got to get back up you do what you do When the waves of life come crashing through When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you rise up Rise up to the tip top You are not a floor mat or a flip flop Sometimes the rain comes down drip drop Wait is that flute on the hip hop? We can be a little backwards upside down sometimes you will look at us sideways I love my Lord he picked us up off the hedges and highways All his people feels this they know that he's the realest Even demons shake and they shudder shout Jesus is Lord he's legit See I don't want to follow anybody else when the waves come he can just raise his hand Calm the storm bring the peace point blank period he's the man When I was at my lowest and I had nowhere to go another seashell under them waves down low I reached to the father when I didn't know him I just heard of his name and he grabbed my hand I was running for a while but he met me right there All of those years saying life was not fair I never would have made it on my own that's clear Looking back now no doubt God was there You are never on your own when you going through it When the waves come stand firm get through it But you got to know the one that will get you through it Heal a hurt heart break chains yeah he'll do it Never forget to bow down to the Lord who will heal with his touch Do not blame God when you going through hell he loves you so much When the waves of life come crashing through And they knock you down got to get back up you do what you do When the waves of life come crashing through When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you Rise up rise up when the waves come Rise up rise up when they knock you Rise up rise up got to get up When the waves of life come crashing through you
