Rise Up

November 2025

Yeah, yeah…?Ten hut, time to rise up?
Even when it’s rough, don’t give up?
Head up, head up, yeah?
Keep your light up, light up

Ten hut, we rise up?
Even when the storm can’t let up?
Gotta keep your head up, yeah?
Don’t you ever give up

They’ll test ya, try to stress ya?
But the pain just makes you better
?All that weight? I lift up?
Now I’m shining with my chest up

Used to fall, now I stand tall?
Every setback was a wake-up call
?Turn the anger to a dream I chase?
Turn the pressure to a calm embrace
Used to see red like ketchup stains?
Now I paint love over all the pain?
Learned my worth, can’t lose my lane?
Now I’m flyin’ through the rain
Old wounds, yeah, I let up?
Forgave myself, had to get up?
No envy in my set up?
Heart strong, and I’m blessed up

Life’s a test, gotta stay composed?
Even when the world feels cold?
Keep your faith, let your story unfold
?Every loss just makes you gold

Ten hut, we rise up?
Even when the storm can’t let up?
Gotta keep your head up, yeah?
Don’t you ever give up
They’ll test ya, try to stress ya?
But the pain just makes you better?
All that weight? I lift up?
Now I’m shining with my chest up

?Used to drown in that liquor?
Now my mind and heart think quicker
?Had to heal, had to grow, had to figure?
How to find peace that lingers

She wants the world, I just want truth?
Built from struggle, built from proof?
Walked through the fire, kept my youth
?Now my spirit bulletproof

Whole world hooked on fake news?
But I stay grounded, I can’t lose
?Strength, dedication — that’s my view?
Dreams bigger, yeah, sky blue

Now I’m cautious but still kind?
Guard my soul, but keep my shine
?Turn the darkness into design?
Everything I need, I find

?Ten hut, yeah, rise up?
Keep your light, never hide it?
Stay strong, yeah, fight it?m
Life’s a ride — I’ll survive it
Head up, yeah, rise up?
Future bright, I can’t deny it?
All love, I supply it?
Still standin’, still smilin’
