Allen Thomas - Uprize (feat. RJ Full Range & Mr. Swift) Lyrics

Let's uprize in Jesus name
Men of courage where y'all at
Ain't no cowards in the front you can come from out the back
Cuz for new life God has called us all out of the pack
In heavy battle on our knees we only fall to stand
The screams are gettin' louder kids cryin' out for a dad
Lookin up at heaven for the father that they never had
You listen to lies not knowin' for you God has a better plan
Instead of embracing truth and love your kids bitter and mad
The trials that you face wouldn't have been so bad
If pops stuck it out just to make a path
For his seed to know of the great I Am
Instead they wrapped up in the streets tryna keep with the latest fad
It's so hard growing up without a father figure
Through the dark times, be there to walk it with you
Teach you to take a stand when someone start an issue
No man in the fam, feel like we missin part of the picture
Devil ripped out the head of the household
It's no wonder that we see so many houses fold
Family torn in pieces see the enemy creep on the downlow
Whom do we turn for wisdom and godly counsel?
Too easy to quickly turn back and sin
Serve with a fervent passion, instead of competing for how many girls we smashing
Be brave act like men and learn action
That's what this worlds lackin' but we gotta surpass them
I been searching high, searching low
For someone who will give their all to me, will you follow me?
Remember I gave you my life
And now I'm calling you uprize, uprize
Black brown or white, man we all the same
Go ahead and look around, man we all to blame
For a whole generation who ain't got no shame
But if we men could rise up, then it all could change
For those who joined gangs and those who chose to slang
Dropped out of school and lost sight of they dreams
It's the same ol' song of gettin' caught up in the game
But if we men could rise up, then it all could change
For the lost and confused hearts riddled with pain
Searching for relief so they medicate they brains
Wishin' for death believing living is vain
But if we men would rise up, then it all would change
You see Christ came down, not for money or fame
But to start a new life in the heart of men
Revolutional wave, an uprize, a new flame
So let it start with us, man it's time to change
I been searching high, searching low
For someone who will give their all to me, will you follow me?
Remember I gave you my life
And now I'm calling you uprize, uprize
You focused on the streets tryna keep your chief position
What does it profit, don't make no sense to end up in prison
It's a war going on no soldiers enlisting
Traded the battle armor in to dress up as women, boy you trippin'
Dear brother, your job is not your life
When you clock out cherish the time with your kids and love your wife
Don't have to swallow your pride but spit that mess out
Bring your burdens to the Lord lay'em down when you stressed out
We've been quiet for too long stepped on put down for human flaws
Grab the tools God provided time for you to get involved
Never despise beginnings when they small no matter how you start
The Lord is at work through it all
When the darkness surrounds you bro don't trip you know who you can call
I been asleep my whole life found comfort being complacent
It's time we arize and be awakened
I been searching high, searching low
For someone who will give their all to me, will you follow me?
Remember I gave you my life
And now I'm calling you uprize, uprize
I been searching high, searching low
For someone who will give their all to me, will you follow me?
Remember I gave you my life
And now I'm calling you uprize, uprize
Be the hero that they're looking for
Be the hero that they're looking for
