Stand Up Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh
Oh, ooh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, ooh, oh-oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
I used to hide from the light
I was coward, too ashamed to be me
So afraid of my power
‘Ti momma said, I got somethin’ to offer (Offer the world)
Just look in the mirror to see it
Now it’s up to you to believe it
[Chorus]
You got a purpose (A purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin’ for (Hey, ayy-ayy)
I see you searchin’ (Searchin’)
It’s burnin’ inside, it’s somethin’ you can’t ignore (Ooh, ooh, woah)
Yeah, everyone’s hurtin’ but you gotta fight, get up and keep forward
See, don’t back away with your hand up
‘Cause somebody need you stand up
[Post-Chorus]
See I’ve been tryin’ my best, every time, I wait (To)
To find my meaning in everything (Meaning in everything)
I’m donе wastin’ season, this time don’t wait
You countin’ on me (Countin’ on mе)
And I’m countin’ on you (Countin’ on you)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, ayy, so now when I show up (Show up)
I know I’m goin’ up for everybody to see
And I stand for the babies, the fellas, the ladies
And everybody in need
For the lost and forgetten way (The way)
[?] (The way)
Hey, so now when we show up, we’ll know that we holdin’ up somethin’ that’s bigger than you and me
[Chorus]
You got a purpose (A purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin’ for (You fightin’ for)
I see you searchin’ (I see you searchin’)
It’s burnin’ inside, it’s somethin’ you can’t ignore (Ayy-ayy, yee-eee)
Yeah, everyone’s hurtin’ but you gotta fight, get up and keep forward (Don’t back up)
See, don’t back away with your hand up (Uh-huh, somebody)
‘Cause somebody need you stand up
[Post-Chorus]
See I’ve been tryin’ my best, every time, I wait (I wait)
To find my meaning in everything (Meaning in everything)
I’m done wastin’ season, this time don’t wait
You countin’ on me (Countin’ on me)
And I’m countin’ on you (Countin’ on you)
Everybody here have somethin’ to do
Yeah, let your fire, it makes you move
It’s somethin’ so special that gets so smooth
You countin’ on me (Countin’ on me)
And I’m countin’ on you (Countin’ on you)
[Outro]
Take up your faith (Take up your faith)
Baby, shake up the place (Shake up the place)
You can break all the rules
Someone’s countin’ on you (Someone is countin’ on you)
Do believe in yourself (Believe in yourself)
‘Cause ain’t nobody else (Nobody else)
Who can do what you do
Someone’s countin’ on you (Someone is countin’ on you)
Yeah, yeah
Hey-hey, ayy-ayy
Hey-hey, ayy-ayy
Hey-hey, ayy-ayy, yeah
