[Hook: Holly Drummond]
Thought you knew all that there was to know
Though you'd landed the final blow
But I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
[Verse 1: DeRay]
Okay, I was only seven when the kids would go and bully me
They laughed at me, picked at me, and only made a fool of me
And from that day on, I just battled with acceptance
Living restless, being popular so I could feel accepted
I learned the only enemy is only me
And I see the green pastures God has in store for me
All the time our mind and souls always tend to disagree
That's because our spirit's willing and our body's only weak
Lead 'em into confrontation, overcome all the temptation
To be like somebody else when you need to be yourself
When they always aiming low, then we gonna rise up
As long as we stick together we gone always rise up
[Hook: Holly Drummond]
Thought you knew all that there was to know
Though you'd landed the final blow
But I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
[Verse 2: Zj Mission]
If I'm the last voice that you hear I hope you know you've got a purpose
You can beat the hate and fear I promise to you that it's worth it
Never stop don't ever quit, yeah it's cliché but if you work it
You can make it to the top the biggest fighters go the furthest
Been through pain and been through struggle
Been through hatred shame and trouble
Finally made it through the rubble
Try my best to still stay humble
Every day's another challenge
Every night's another level
But I'd rather give my all
Then lose my dream and have to settle
There's no weapon that can stop me I'm my only competition
You can live your dream soon as you find your inner vision
Never give up hope don’t ever stop until it's finished
Results will bring a silence to the critics
And when you...
[Hook: Holly Drummond & Zj Mission]
Thought you knew all that there was to know
Though you'd landed the final blow
But I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
I will rise up now
