essam muhammad – rise up (feat. jae deen) lyrics

[verse 1: essam]
uncle sam got us slaving for a penny
belly is full but the heart empty
[?] come in many forms like we need enough but we want plenty
wake up, go to sleep, cycle never ends
trying to make ends meet
start my day with a prayer living in a world many k!lled by envy
i’m just trying to leave a legacy
mean i’ll reap the fruits of the planted seeds
but i’ll only do this so the children see
a different life from the mainstream
swimming against the current, not one the to follow hype
i’m on a different wave
even your shadow will leave you alone in the night
if we make it through the day
so why do we give all our time to somebody who probably won’t do the same?
invest in yourself before anyone else and learn from the ones with the canes
jotting the lessons from elders
preserving the wisdom they gave
who done taught me the worth of a dollar that you cannot take to the grave
put god first and the rest follows
pray today like you won’t see tomorrow
got one soul we can never borrow
won’t gamble with it i don’t play the lotto
put god first and the rest follows
pray today like you won’t see tomorrow
got one soul we can never borrow
won’t gamble with it#

[chorus: essam]
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always

[verse 2: jae deen]
one time for the darkest days which made us strong
you gotta be going through pain and constant change in order to become just who you are
but when that pain comes to an end
don’t forget to give credit to god
you’re just a fraction of his creation and without him you’re nothing at all
i’m so grateful for growing up in a dark childhood, times was rough
two kids raised by a single parent
so many lessons that taught me much
calling out christ in the middle of the night
when i would catch myself messed up
but i promise a christian mom is gonna be proud of a muslim son
can’t let loose, ima hold firm
and stay true, to these four words
patience, prayer, determination and of course, learn
learn to forgive, since life is way too short to have bridges burn
all the good and the bad that occurs in your life is written on tablet preserved

[bridge: jae deen]
such is life, we accept the highs and lows
to god we belong and to him returns the soul
put him first and you shall see how life unfolds
and all that pain in your life will go away away away away yeah

[chorus: essam & jae deen]
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
wake up, sleep, that’s how the cycle go, ay
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
take my peace? i’ll tell the suckers “no way!”
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
live life full, be thankful for them hard days
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always
“you gon’ get through it” that’s what momma told me always

[outro: jae deen]
yeah yeah
this one is for the people
(you gon’ make it through them hard days)
essam
(yeah yeah)
jae deen
(you gon’ make it through them hard days)
bismillah
