The Come Up
Rising from Shadows: Unveiling the Spiritual Journey in 'The Come Up'
Lyrics
I tried praying to sundown
I attempted to pray until sunset.
I screamed at the mountains
I passionately shouted at the mountains.
Thought it might fall down at my feet
I thought the mountains might collapse at my feet.
But I felt the rage
But I felt intense anger.
It was changing direction, oh no
The anger was changing direction unexpectedly.
Pushin' and pullin' on me
Pushing and pulling on me.
It made me believe in unseen enemy
It made me believe in an unseen enemy.
Creatures that sit in the dark
Reference to creatures sitting in the dark.
And gnashin' their teeth
These creatures are gnashing their teeth.
How can you breathe
Questioning how one can breathe in such a situation.
When you feel eclipses of fire?
Feeling the overwhelming intensity of challenges.
Can't you see I'm fallin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Expressing a sense of falling or failure.
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Seeking help to get off the metaphorical floor.
Don't you hear me callin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Calling out for assistance.
I can't fight alone anymore
Expressing inability to fight alone any longer.
Let's get this march around the karma
Suggesting a shift in perspective or attitude.
Get satisfied, ain't nobody lookin' for sympathy
Encouraging satisfaction without seeking sympathy.
Stop wastin' time and get back on the grind
Advising to stop wasting time and resume hard work.
Even King Kong got nothin' on me
Asserting self-worth and strength.
Once I could see I was my own enemy
Realizing that one's own actions can be self-destructive.
My demons pushin' me to the dark
Acknowledging inner struggles pushing towards darkness.
It's in my eyes, hard-fought eyes
Reflecting the internal battle in one's eyes.
With my fears burning in a pyre
Fears are burning in a metaphorical pyre.
Can't you see I'm fallin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Reiteration of the sense of falling or failure.
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Reiterating the need for help to get up.
Don't you hear me callin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Reiterating the call for assistance.
I can't fight alone anymore
Repeating the inability to face challenges alone.
You can't bring the sun down as long as it's up
Emphasizing the impossibility of bringing the sun down while it's up.
Sometimes, tell you all, it all feels like too much
Feeling overwhelmed by challenges.
Focus on the calling (oh oh oh oh)
Focus on the calling or purpose.
Come on, you gotta run
An urging to keep moving forward and not crawl.
Don't you crawl anymore
Discouraging a submissive or defeated attitude.
Oh can't you see I'm fallin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Reiteration of the sense of falling or failure.
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Reiterating the need for help to get up.
Don't you hear me callin'? (Oh oh oh oh)
Reiterating the call for assistance.
I can't fight alone anymore
Repeating the inability to face challenges alone.
You can't bring the sun down as long as it's up
Emphasizing the impossibility of bringing the sun down while it's up.
Sometimes, tell you all, it all feels like too much
Feeling overwhelmed by challenges.
Focus on the calling (oh oh oh oh)
Focus on the calling or purpose.
Come on, you gotta run
An urging to keep moving forward and not crawl.
Don't you crawl anymore
Discouraging a submissive or defeated attitude.
More, more, more, more, more, more
Repeated emphasis on not crawling anymore, asserting strength.
Don't you crawl no more
-Don't you crawl no more
-Don't you crawl no more
-Don't you crawl no more
-Don't you crawl no more
-Don't you crawl, don't you crawl, don't you crawl
-Don't you crawl (don't you crawl), don't you crawl
-Don't you crawl no more
Final emphasis on not crawling anymore.
