Back Up

Uh uunnn, uh uunnn, uh, uunn

Uh uunnn, uh uunnn

Life ain't always gone be jacked up

The story don't end when you fall. Don't stay there. You gotta get back up

(Uh uunnn, uh uunnn)

Sometimes you gotta adapt but

Who needs a plan b when the plan a so dope it doesn't need a backup

(Uh uunnn, uh uunnn)

I be trying not to act up

They say keep your enemies close but I can't. Nah, I need 'em to back up

(Uh uunnn, uh uunnn)

The failing stage is gettin packed up

One day, imma shine. But for now, imma grind my tail off til I'm back up

(Uh uunnn, uh uunnn, uh, uunn)

Life ain't always gone be

Fake friends

I gotta chill and stop puttin myself in situations that don't make sense

But it's my fault

Cause I be playin myself and then when people play me I be like wayment

Okay, I'm lost. Why am I goin through this when I'm supposed to be exempt

Is it my loss? Or is it theirs? Or do we equally share? Who cares? I'm scared I'll suffer if I leave it up to them

Remember days when I wasn't gettin it right and almost gave up the fight because I lost control

What could you say to persuade a blind man to see the light when that man be actin like he heard it all befo

Well, I'll tell you what I say

Get out ya own way and open ya eyes

Clean up the mess that you done made

Unless you ain't awake

It's steps that you can take now so that you can thrive

Wanna talk about what isn't fair? Is it fair you act like tomorrow's guaranteed

Walking 'round with your head down here and there. Unaware faith starts the size of a seed and grows

The odds may feel too stacked against you but right now

Need you to pick yourself up off the ground someway, somehow

Life ain't always gone be jacked up

The story don't end when you fall. Don't stay there. You gotta get back up

(Gotta get back up)

Sometimes you gotta adapt but

Who needs a plan b when the plan a so dope it doesn't need a backup

(Uh uunnn, uh uunnn)

I be trying not to act up

They say keep your enemies close but I can't. Nah, I need 'em to back up

(Gotta keep on going, man)

The failing stage is gettin packed up

One day, imma shine. But for now, imma grind my tail off til I'm back up

(Keep putting my best foot forward)

(Paul Wall)

Life ain't always gone be

Sunny days bring a lot of smiles

Everybody's vibing when the weather's great

Like New Edition, can you stand the rain

In your darkest time is when you need your faith

Sometimes the best path isn't straight

It's lessons learned from the twists and turns

I do my best to be my best

Even at my worst, Imma overturn

It's to be expected that life is always gonna give me sum'n that's unexpected

Keep the focus. Stay calm, collected

To give an answer, gotta know the question

Deep depression if you hold it in

Gotta talk about it when you carry a message

Most of the hardest times in my life came right before my biggest blessings

So, I'on question why it happen to me

I grin and bear it and I give thanks

All love and no hate

Just grateful to live under God's grace

Gotta tell yourself that it's not a race

Maintain the progress not the pace

Cause life ain't always gone be happy days

Whether good or bad, give God the praise

Life ain't always gone be jacked up

The story don't end when you fall. Don't stay there. You gotta get back up

Sometimes you gotta adapt but

Who needs a plan b when the plan a so dope it doesn't need a backup

(Yeah, yeah)

I be trying not to act up

They say keep your enemies close but I can't. Nah, I need 'em to back up

The failing stage is gettin packed up

One day, imma shine. But for now, imma grind my tail off til I'm back up

(Yeah, yeah)

Life ain't always gone be

Uh uunnn, uh uunnn, uh, uunn
