G      Am              Em  C
This is our war cry, we'll rise up
         G      Am           Em       C
And this is our time to rise up, rise up, yeah

[Verse 1]
G                              Am
I thought by now I would get it
                             Em
His love for me is unmeasured
                                 C
Still feel like I could do better
                           G
Was paralyzed by depression
                                  Am
But heaven and earth came together
                         Em
And You came to my rescue
                          C
I use my voice as a weapon
                            G
On earth like it's in heaven
G
Yeah, I never handle things too well
    Am
But I was made to fly, not to fail
             Em
I don't need man's approval
Em
When God sent me to bring heaven
C
Down for the kids going through hell
G
Yeah, we gon' make it
Am
I don't care what the world's been saying
     Em
It's time to step up, not cave in
    C
The grace He gave us, amazing
                              G
A love that could conquer the hatred
G
But it's up to us
   Am
A new generation to show His love
          Em                             C
From the ends of the earth to the day He comes

[Chorus]
         G      Am              Em  C
This is our war cry, we'll rise up
         G      Am           Em       C
And this is our time to rise up, rise up, yeah
         G      Am              Em  C
This is our war cry, we'll rise up
         G      Am           Em       C
And this is our time to rise up, rise up, yeah

[Verse 2]
      G
Okay, we turned the stage to an altar at the last show
Am
Something about when you know you're being impactful
Em
Using the tools I was given but being tactful
C
Went from the pit to raps inside of a mac full
G
With the power size of a Mack truck
Am
I went through the hard times, no bad luck
Em
Graduated cap, gown with the tassle
C
Now I make art like Basel
G
But I still keep it classic like a left eye rhyme
Am
Big Poppa like the Bed Stuy guy
Em
I got the dirt off my shoulders like Jay in his prime
C
I stood on my own two like the veterans taught
G
If I ever lay down, let it be for some rest
Am
And whenever I'm recharged, let me be at my best
Em
So whenever I'm pouring out all your love to the rest
C
Now you can go and tell them the rest

[Chorus]
         G      Am              Em  C
This is our war cry, we'll rise up
         G      Am           Em       C
And this is our time to rise up, rise up, yeah
         G      Am              Em  C
This is our war cry, we'll rise up
         G      Am           Em       C
And this is our time to rise up, rise up, yeah
