[Verse 1]
I've been living like I've never met You
Knowing it's impossible for me to just forget You
Thinking about your promise and everything that You gave me
I might be losing my mind, but Lord knows I ain't crazy
(Yeah, you saved me!)
Nowadays, it's hard to be an artist
Unless you wanna sell out and do whatever regardless
Noone's trying to listen to Your mission
Only if it's a position
Bet that I'll make it out all while showing that I'm a Christian!
My back is off the wall, but y'all know that I'mma turn up!
Most of y'all are lit, and I ain't even gotta burn up
Blessed by the water, yeah, I know He paid the price
That's why I'll be giving thanks, 40 days, 40 nights
I come back to the city and put my hands up
On solid ground for those people that get knocked down when they stand up
We don't settle down. Yellow, White or Black or brown
All together, and I say it to the crowd
I'm turning around

[Chorus]
No more lies, only pointing to the skies
Do or die, I'm hoping that I survive

'cause I'm fed up, They tryna keep me down
I'mma get up, I gotta keep my head up
[x2]

[Verse 2:]
I've been living like I never asked for Your love
Knowing good and well that I could never ask for enough
You caught me down for the count, I got back up feeling hostile
Took away all my anger, and hit me up with that Gospel
Apostles and Prophets, Kings, Leaders and Pastors
They all gave me a hand when I was headed for disaster
My sinning told me to act a fool right in front of You
Gotta get it together, cause I heard that you'll be coming soon
Bow down!

You're the only reason I'm here!
You're the reason why I smile after an hour of tears
You look at me and my ways, I feel that you should be fed up
Now, even in my trials
Yeah, I'm still keepin' head up!

It's all because of God! Yeah, no doubt, it was Him!
I take His hand in the morning, going out on a limb
He told me I should go out, build a nation and expand it!
And promised, never worry
Always there and never stranded

[Chorus]
No more lies, only pointing to the skies
Do or die, I'm hoping that I survive

'cause I'm fed up, They tryna keep me down
I'mma get up, I gotta keep my head up
[x2]

[Bridge]
Yo, I talk about the worst 'cause I've been there and I've done that
Looking at it now? Yo, I take everything from that and I turn around
Turn around, turn around!

Better safe than sorry, now
Yo, I'm safe on solid ground!

I come back to the city and put my hands up
I stick around for those people that get knocked down when they stand up
We don't settle down. Yellow, White or Black or brown
All together, and I say it to the crowd
I'm turning around

[Chorus]
No more lies, only pointing to the skies
Do or die, I'm hoping that I survive

'cause I'm fed up, They tryna keep me down
I'mma get up, I gotta keep my head up
[x2]

[Josiah Williams - Outro:]
They don't want me to change, they tell me to pick a lane
Be in the world or be of it, but they not one in the same
