Lift Yourself Up Songtext
von Charles the Individual

How you living, friend?
Are you giving it your best with what you
Got or are you thinking about the end?
Are you looking for a way to ascend?
Or are you thinking about a text
That you′re never gonna send?
What's your thoughts like?
When you think about ambition
Are you cruising or are you stuck at a stop light?
Are you looking for a sign?
Tryna find the right time to give it a try?
Well why not right now?
Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it′s up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning
Listen I just want to say, Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it's up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning


Who you hang around?
Are the people you're surrounded with
Picking you up or holding you down?
Are you really giving it your best effort?
Or are you stuck in the cycle of
Tomorrow gone be better?
What′s your inner voice saying?
Does it justify procrastination?
Are you waiting, or are you chasing?
Are you doing what you can? Or do you stand
On someone else′s plan, always wishing you ran?
What's your heart say?
Do you listen to the beat or do you
Sit around and contemplate a start date?
Are you living off of yesterday′s accomplishments?
Or are you focused on that current goal to go accomplish it?
Do you feel like you react, or do you respond?
Are you living in the past, are you moving on?
Are you living in the moment?
I'm just asking, I ain′t giving you the answer
YOU"RE the only one who's gonna know it
But I will say this, Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it′s up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning
If you're hearin' what im sayin′
Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it′s up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning
Don't hesitate, do it today
There′s never gonna be another you,
So might as well just make
The most of what you got and
Go for gold before it's too late
Fuck what other people say,
Cuz they′re just gonna hate anyways
The time is now, treat it like a clean slate
Still caught up in those mistakes?
Why not give yourself a break?
Tell your boss you need a raise
Go and ask her on a date
Chase that dream and do research
To find out what it's gonna take
Yeah I′m preaching, but I think I know a thing or two
About a thing or two, and maybe that's a mistake!
But fuck it I'll keep it coming like I′m running a race
So I′ll be loving for nothing like I got something to say!
Give yourself a chance while you still can!
Dance now, die later, my aim is enhance
Life, and flourish, if you're nervous
lemme help you find the courage
See cuz you′re the only one who can relieve you of your burden!
One more time, listen up!
Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it's up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning
If this is all we got, why not Lift yourself up
YEAH YOU, Lemme see you lift yourself up
Ya we learning while this planet keeps on turning
But it′s up to YOU if you want to keep that fire burning
