[Intro] Yeah Had to crawl through the mud for this Still talk to God in the middle of the madness Listen [Verse 1] Used to keep pain in my pocket Notes full of names Full of losses Mum in the kitchen Tears in the sink Bailiffs at the door I ain’t had time to blink Friends in the grave Some locked in a box Devil in my ear Tryna show me the plots Knife in my hand Rage in my chest But I heard one voice cut through all of the mess “Son That path there leads straight to the pit” Heart turned cold But He still never quit Hands on my head like “Lord I’m done” Then He whispered back “Look up You’re my son” [Chorus] I rose up I rose up I rose up (yeah) From the dirt From the smoke From the cold cuts Had a blade in my palm Now I hold trust They can talk on my name But my soul’s tucked I rose up I rose up I rose up (hey) Through the pain Through the hail Through the close calls If they ask how I stand when the road’s rough Tell ’em faith in my God made me bolt up [Verse 2] They wanna see me slip See me slide Label me a stat Not alive But the cross on my neck ain’t just ice That’s a whole lot of blood That’s a price Seen big men cry in the dock Whole crew split when the case got hot They said “Pray?” I said “What else left?” When the last call hits and you taste that breath Late nights One light in the flat Bible on the floor Blade on the mat Stared at both like “Which one speaks?” Then I felt peace run deep in my cheeks Now I step out clean in the same estate Same young Gs Same broken gates Tell ’em “I was you Bro I know that ache But there’s One up top that can hold that weight” [Chorus] I rose up I rose up I rose up From the dirt From the smoke From the cold cuts Had a blade in my palm Now I hold trust They can talk on my name But my soul’s tucked I rose up I rose up I rose up (yeah) Through the pain Through the hail Through the close calls If they ask how I stand when the road’s rough Tell ’em faith in my God made me bolt up [Bridge] All of these scars on my skin He saw All of these sins in my heart He tore Could’ve been chalk on the floor That’s facts Now I put truth in my bars Impact (ayy) [Chorus] I rose up I rose up I rose up From the dirt From the smoke From the cold cuts Had a blade in my palm Now I hold trust They can talk on my name But my soul’s tucked I rose up I rose up I rose up Through the pain Through the hail Through the close calls If they ask how I stand when the road’s rough Tell ’em faith in my God made me bolt up
