Bide Up
Bide Up: Embracing Resilience in Life's Journey
Lyrics
No more worrying, worrying and pains
No more experiencing anxiety, distress, and suffering
No more crying, shedding tears like rain
No more expressing sorrow, crying extensively like rainfall
For the master has come back
Because the leader/authority figure has returned
Gathering all his flock
Gathering together all of his followers
Mother nature feeds the stock
Mother nature provides sustenance for the group
Never wanting or ever lack
Never desiring or experiencing a lack of necessities
So bide up, with reasoning
Therefore, endure with logical thinking
Humble thyself and I'll be near thee.
Be modest/humble, and I (the authority) will be close to you
Bide up, with reasoning
Endure with logical thinking
Humble thyself and I'll protect thee
Be humble, and I (the authority) will provide protection for you
Frustrated children, humiliation was not in vain
People who felt disappointed or let down, their suffering was not pointless
Through effort, time and history
Through dedication, passage of time, and past events
Have now found eternal gain for the dark clouds do bring rain
Now have achieved lasting benefits, as difficult times bring positive outcomes
Then comes the sun to shine again
After hardship comes good times
So we shall walk and not look back as living examples
Therefore, we will continue forward without dwelling on the past, serving as examples
Cause we're black,
Because of our racial identity
So bide up with reasoning
Endure with logical thinking
Humble thyself and I'll be near thee
Be modest/humble, and I (the authority) will be close to you
Bide up with reasoning
Endure with logical thinking
Humble thyself and I'll protect thee
Be humble, and I (the authority) will provide protection for you
No more worrying, worrying and pains
No more experiencing anxiety, distress, and suffering
No more crying, shedding tears like rain
No more expressing sorrow, crying extensively like rainfall
