UP! Lyrics by Forrest Frank
I was down but now I’m up, yeah
This all God this ain’t no luck, yeah
I used to be stuck in that mud, woah
Yeah, I was down but now I’m up, up, up, up
I was down but now I’m up, yeah
This all God this ain’t no luck, yeah
I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah
Yeah, I was down but now I’m up, up, up, up (Ayy)
I was down but now I’m
Up like my name Lazarus
Know Satan gon’ be mad at this
I had to ask my dad
If it’s okay to swing my bat at this
He said, “Boy if I pitch it, it’s out of the park”
Moving so quick it’s like they stuck in park
They see the numbers but I see the heart
Ten thousand hours He spent in the dark
Putting in good work
Even though He didn’t even know that it would work
Talk about a man who grew up in woodwork
Do it for the love of it, that’s the way it should work, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I know some people gon’ look at me crazy and I’m like for what? (What?)
Man, I was stuck
I was down but now I’m up, yeah (Now I’m up)
This all God this ain’t no luck, yeah (Ain’t no luck)
I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah (In the mud)
Yeah, I was down but now I’m up, up, up, up
I was down but now I’m
Down, now I’m up like a seesaw
When I’m on the beat, like an old man’s lawn better keep off
From the ground to the treetops
Got clouds on my feet like Jack and the Beanstalk
Jumped off quick, went straight into freefall
Cowboy hat and a mic singing, “Yeehaw”
Landed on my feet like a feline
Put ’em back in the seat, like a recline
Ayy, what you mean I’m not worthy?
Did it with a purpose, didn’t need a permit
Diggin’ from the bottom and I brought it to the surface
Mind your business, not who I worship
Who the little guy making big, big, big moves?
Tik-Tok turn into a tick-tick-tick boom
Yeah, I talk a lot of stuff
Prolly thought it was a bluff
‘Til I went and turned it where?
I was down but now I’m up, yeah (Up, let’s go, woah)
This all God this ain’t no luck, yeah
I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah
Yeah, I was down but now I’m up, up, up, up
I was down but now I’m up
