In only a short period of time LinX has proven that he is at the forefront of Toronto hip hop. In the past year he has collaborated with local Toronto talent, as well as established heavy hitters, like Royce Da 5’9" and Joell Ortiz. His rugged voice and sharp tongued lyrics, laced with wit, biting humor and clever wordplay, are complemented by smooth, melodic hooks. Candid and passionate descriptions of his life are seamlessly paralleled by imaginative concepts, make him a compelling artist to listen to and give his music a distinctly unique quality. Not one to box himself in, Omar has made it a point to experiment with different genres. His latest collaborations with fellow Toronto artists Zeds Dead, notably “Wake up” and “Out for Blood,” have captivated the attention of many and received a great deal of support from hip hop and dubstep/DnB lovers alike. Their most recent creation, Out for Blood, has excited listeners, getting him heavy rotation and international praise. His fan base continues to grow as his music reaches an increasingly wider audience. His next project, “City of Ommz”, will be released early 2011, and based on what he’s demonstrated so far, it will undoubtedly push the envelope of convention and whisk listeners right into the middle of the elusive world in which he seems to thrive.

Lift You Up
Omar Linx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had a tough go
I've come close to throwing in the towel
Just to watch it unfold
Just another story untold
Sitting on the moon
I think it's time for me to come home
It's the wrong ones that want the credit
You were there when no one was

The only one I won't forget it
She thinkin' maybe there's still hope for him
Just help me with the pieces
We can make this all whole again

Lift you up
Won't let you down
Hold you high
Yeah, off the ground
You can always count on me
Honey, that's a guarantee

Lift you up
Won't let you go
Through the highs and through the lows
I'll be anything you need
'Cause you're everything to me

Lift you up (ooh)
Lift you up (ooh)
Let me lift you up

That's how I came up
True love never gave up
All problems aside
We knew nothing would break us
Here's what I know now
You all that I hold down
Don't switch up a thing
I still fuck with the old style
We came with nothing but big dreams in the junction
They talk of success and leave you out the discussion
Like I ain't sittin' here too
I'm throwin' chips in to lose
You bet at your own discretion
'Cause I'm just itchin' to move all in
And Jackie boy done put the bottle down
I had to switch up to swimming
Seeing as I nearly drowned
I had to picture the vision soon as I the ground
Waiting at the summit, we stuntin'
Oh, you believe me now?
My hat's off to the real ones that really 'bout it
They pick you up when you're out of luck
I would never doubt it
Just keep you chin up, the world full of us sinners
I've seen the greatest of people
That came from humble beginnings, oh boy

Lift you up
Won't let you down
Hold you high
Yeah, off the ground
You can always count on me
Honey, that's a guarantee

Lift you up
Won't let you go
Through the highs and through the lows
I'll be anything you need
'Cause you're everything to me

Lift you up (ooh)
Lift you up (ooh)

And when it's dark out
You'll light the way
I hope you know that
I'll always stay

Lift you up
Won't let you down
Hold you high
Yeah, off the ground
You can always count on me
Honey, that's a guarantee

Lift you up
Won't let you go
Through the highs and through the lows
I'll be anything you need
'Cause you're everything to me

Lift you up (ooh)
Lift you up (ooh)
Lift you up (ooh)
I wanna lift you up, let me lift you up

Lift you up (ooh)
Lift you up (ooh)

Lift you up (ooh)
I wanna lift you up, lift you up

Line by Line Meaning

I've had a tough go
I have been facing difficult situations

I've come close to throwing in the towel
I almost gave up trying to overcome adversity

Just to watch it unfold
Just to see everything deteriorate

Just another story untold
Just another experience left unshared

Sitting on the moon
In a moment of introspection and silence

I think it's time for me to come home
I think it's time to return to my true self

It's the wrong ones that want the credit
Those who don't deserve recognition seek it the most

You were there when no one was
You supported me when nobody else did

The only one I won't forget it
I will always remember your help

She thinkin' maybe there's still hope for him
She believes that there's still a chance for me to succeed

Just help me with the pieces
Assist me in rebuilding my life

We can make this all whole again
We can put things back together

Lift you up
Elevate you

Won't let you down
Won't disappoint or betray you

Hold you high
Support and empower you

Yeah, off the ground
Help you rise above your problems

You can always count on me
You can always rely on me

Honey, that's a guarantee
I promise that

Through the highs and through the lows
Throughout the good and the bad times

I'll be anything you need
I'll be whatever you require

'Cause you're everything to me
Because you mean everything to me

That's how I came up
That's how I became successful

True love never gave up
Genuine affection endures any obstacles

All problems aside
Ignoring any issues

We knew nothing would break us
We were confident that nothing would ruin our bond

Here's what I know now
Here's my current insight

You all that I hold down
You're the one who supports me

Don't switch up a thing
Don't change anything

I still fuck with the old style
I still prefer the traditional approach

We came with nothing but big dreams in the junction
We had nothing but ambitious goals in a challenging environment

They talk of success and leave you out the discussion
People talk about triumph without mentioning you

Like I ain't sittin' here too
As if I'm not also struggling

I'm throwin' chips in to lose
I'm taking risks even if they may not pay off

You bet at your own discretion
Make choices responsibly

'Cause I'm just itchin' to move all in
Because I'm eager to invest everything I have

And Jackie boy done put the bottle down
And my friend stopped drinking excessively

I had to switch up to swimming
I had to adapt to a new situation

Seeing as I nearly drowned
As I almost failed

I had to picture the vision soon as I the ground
I had to envision my goal right after I fell

Waiting at the summit, we stuntin'
We'll celebrate at the top

Oh, you believe me now?
Now, do you trust me?

My hat's off to the real ones that really 'bout it
I respect those who genuinely walk the talk

They pick you up when you're out of luck
They help you when you're in trouble

I would never doubt it
I'm certain about it

Just keep you chin up, the world full of us sinners
Stay optimistic despite the sinful humanity

I've seen the greatest of people
I witnessed the most admirable people

That came from humble beginnings, oh boy
Who started from nothing, my friend

And when it's dark out
When you're in a challenging situation

You'll light the way
You'll guide me out of it

I hope you know that
I trust that you realize

I'll always stay
I'll never leave you

Let me lift you up
Allow me to help you rise above your circumstance

I'm probably in the darkest time in my life right now, some days I don't want to get out of bed, I lost interest in everything I used to love to do, I hardly have motivation to do the simplest of things, but when I play this song it gives me that butterfly feeling that life will get better and I have to keep pushing towards my hopes and dreams. That it is possible. I know it's cliche to even say this, but this song truly is saving me at this point in my life.
