Up To You
J.Rider Lyrics

Sometimes i just feel like giving up
At times, I begin to lose faith and feel lost.

But right when you feel that way
When that happens,

That means you need to go harder
It's a sign that I need to push forward even harder.

That means you don't need to let up
I shouldn't stop or slow down my efforts.

They thought I was done( haha)
People thought I was finished (laughs).

They say you on the gas don't you let up
They advise me not to take my foot off the pedal (keep pushing).

(Don't you let up)

This that motivation this the theme song give them haters something they can feed on
This song is meant to motivate and be a source of inspiration. Even the haters and naysayers can fuel themselves with it.

Try to tell them that it's one way, it's the narrow that I be on
I try to explain to them that I am on a specific path, a narrow one at that.

Blood covered, head toe, eternal life is no gamble
I am covered in the blood of the Lord and know that eternal life is not a gamble.

Don't believe in god you can't see, but when you ever seen the wind blow
One shouldn't doubt the existence of God just because they can't see Him, have they ever seen the wind?

I'm taking shots here's the reload, souls on the line like a free throw
I keep taking shots at life, reloading and trying again. The stakes are high like in a free throw game.

Life change when you find the sun, and i ain't talking bout nemo
Your life changes when you find the light, and I'm not talking about the character from the movie 'Finding Nemo.'

One thing, trust god, two things grind hard
There are two things one should always do, trust in God and grind hard.

This is what you get when your faith has been applaud
When your faith is celebrated, this is what you get to achieve.

Do it all for the christ, this is ain't bout what you like
Everything I do is for Christ, it's not always about what I like.

Yea yea

Ain't no, ain't no way, i'ma let them dim my light
There's no way I'll let others dim my light and stop me from shining.

It's unexpected the light is green, i'm set to go
It's surprising that the light is green, but I'm ready to go.

i'm motivated, i'm dedicated, i'm at the door
I'm motivated and dedicated, standing at the door ready to take on whatever may come next.

Don't you, let up, don't you, let up, don't you, let up, don't you let up off the gas
I shouldn't let up, slow down, or quit, I need to keep pushing forward.

Ain't no plans of me stopping, devil's waiting and plotting
There are no plans for me to stop or give up, the devil is waiting and scheming instead.

Ran into some old homies, never knew they was watching
I met some old acquaintances and discovered they had been watching my progress.

They don't know what that did to me, ticked off the enemy
They don't know that their observation has ticked off the adversary and motivated me.

That was confirmation i'm not wasting my energy
Their observation confirmed that I am not wasting my energy and effort/

They don't know I came a long way, kept going the wrong way
They don't know that I've come a long way, and that there were times when I was heading in the wrong direction.

Then I met the risen king , now i'm lit like a runway
But I have now met the risen king, and I am shining brightly like a runway.

Though it's Monday i'm living like it's Sunday
On a Monday, I am living with the same joy that I would experience on a Sunday.

Yea i'm on the gas heading down that one way
Yes, I'm pushing myself and moving forward down a specific path.

This for the ones out there grinding to make a difference
This song is for those out there grinding hard and working to make a difference.

Keep going, keep pushing
I encourage you to keep moving forward and keep pushing.

When you don't see his hand, trust his heart, he got you
When you feel like you're not being helped, trust in God's goodness and His care for you, as He has never abandoned you.
