Jazmine Sullivan - Stand Up lyrics

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

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

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

And I stand for the babies, the fellas
The ladies and everybody in need
For the lost and forgotten, we The way
