Stand Up (From the Original Motion Picture "Till") - Jazmine Sullivan

Lyrics by：Jazmine Sullivan/Dernst Emile II

Composed by：Jazmine Sullivan/Dernst Emile II

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 waste this season

'Cause time don't wait

Countin' on me countin' on me

And I'm countin' on you

Countin' on you

So now when I 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

You got a purpose purpose

What is your reason

What is you fightin' for

Fightin' for

Yeah I see you searchin'

It's burnin' inside

It's somethin' you can't ignore yeah

Yeah everyone's hurtin'

But you gotta fight get up

And keep movin' forward

So don't back away with

Your hand up somebody

Somebody need you stand up

See I've been tryin' my best every time

I'll wait wait

To find my meaning in everythin'

I don't waste this season

'Cause time don't wait

Countin' on me countin' on me

Countin' on you countin' on you

Everybody here has something here to do

Ignite your fire it makes you move

It's something so special

That gets us through

You countin' on me countin' on me

Countin' on you countin' on you

Take up your space

Baby shake up the place

Break all the rules

Someone's countin' on you

Do believe in yourself

'Cause ain't nobody else

Who can do what you do

Someone's countin' on you

Someone is

Yeah yeah
