Stand Up Jazmine Sullivan

[Verse 1]
I used to hide from the light, I would cower
Too ashamed to be me, so afraid of my power
'Til one day, mama said I got something to offer (Offer the world)
Just look in the mirror to see it
Now it's up to you to believe it

[Chorus]
You got a purpose (Purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin' for? (Hey)
Yeah, I see you searchin' (Searchin')
It's burnin' inside, it's somethin' you can't ignore
Yeah, everyone's hurtin'
But you gotta fight, get up, and keep movin' forward
See, don't back away with your hand up
'Cause somebody need you stand up

[Post-Chorus]
See, I've been tryin' my best every time, I'll wait (To)
To find my meaning in everything
I don't wastе this season 'cause time don't wait
Countin' on mе (Countin' on me)
And I'm countin' on you, yeah (Countin' on you)

[Verse 2]
So now when I show up (Show up)
I know I'm goin' up for everybody to see
And I stand for the babies, the fellas, the ladies
And everybody in need
For the lost and forgotten, we (The way)
Even though it ain't easy, we
So now when we show up, we know that we holdin' up
Something that's bigger than you and me
