Lyrics:
Yeah. I’ve been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been up, I’ve been down, right?
But no matter where I go, you will never let me down, right?
I’ve been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been up, I’ve been down, right? Yeah.
But no matter where I go, you’ll never let me down, right?
How it feel being the one that’s tapped into the plug, right?
I ain’t talking to you in street code. I’m just talking to you like heroes.
Standing so tall, I don’t see foes under pressure. It’s really free throws.
Meaning the easiest shots, the hardest to take.
When you got dogs on your brain and try to tell you you can’t, but I know I can.
This is not my plan. And I really see God’s hands like be patient.
Slow motion is motion. Don’t be anxious. God got it. We coasting.
If you don’t tell me to move, then I’m posty. Hold our head to the sky. We not hopeless.
Yeah. I’ve been up. I’ve been down. I’ve been up. I’ve been down. Right.
But no matter where I go, you will never let me down. Right.
Up and up. Up and down. Up and up. Up and down. Right.
Yeah. But no matter where I go, you will never let me down, right?
That’s why I’m confident.
That’s why I can’t forget. I would go to sleep on my brother’s couch, dreaming about this.
Working day and night with everything to make it exist.
Fast forward, I been made it, but I’m still here stressing, thinking, God, I know you here, but did you run out of blessings?
Hey, the stakes is high like day. Hey, I sometimes forget that it’s not I that holds the world on its axis.
Faith is a practice. They mean the wins and the losses create balance.
Be patient. Slow motion is motion. Don’t be anxious. God got it. We coasting.
If you don’t tell me to move, then I’m posting. Hold our head to the sky. We not hopeless.
Yeah. I’ve been up, I’ve been down. I’ve been up, I’ve been down. Right.
But no matter where I go, you will never let me down. Right.
I’ve been up. I’ve been down. Up and up, up and down, right?
Yeah. But no matter where I go, you’ll never let me down, right?
No matter what happens, I look to the sky and thank God for another day.
The money that we make, it can’t replace faith and hope and love. That’s what make life worth being awake.
