Bizzle - Way Up Lyrics
Lyrics
Intro: Datin
We take it way up
Higher than NASA off a launch and lift
Off into the dark abyss past the stars where the Martians live
Never will these archers miss they mark you see the darts we spit have sharpened tips we aim for the heart and hit what our target is
Like an arsonist lighting a match up and then tossing it
Onto gasoline we're torching this, homie of course it's lit
Like Rick James on Eddie Murphy's couch screaming out 'Darkness is'
With no remorse we kick the grime
And in this pond
We are shark to fish
Verse 1: Bizzle
GOM this is a remix
Get a beat, flip, rip it to pieces
Get a seat we up winners suite
Finna eat
We sitting wit Jesus
Drop in it for the God risen
He alive living in the midst of the people
Try me, and if you're not feeling it
Then bob really, I ain't feeling you either
Whether or not you feel it I'm not
Forgetting what God has given to me
I could be locked up inside, a prison
And not get visits or preach
God willing ima give them the gospel till I'm not in position to speak
You can knock it
But I'ma rock with the rock and I'm not missing the beat, listen to me
Dog, I was up in Walmart with a scan gun
For the canned goods
I could rap good, but I did what I could for the fam
That's manhood
Quit looking for the quick lick
Told God if you're not with it I quit this
That's when He told me no, you just go and be lit lit
I been on the road, doing shows ever since then
Tell em what I know
Pray they souls they get lifted
Messing with the flow but the goal is repentance
Never get it twisted
Chorus
Daddy let me loose
We gotta move, Bishop with the burner baby
We got the juice, they hating on my team
Cus we the truth
Won't he do it, and we the proof
We gon take them way way way
Way way way, way way way
Way way way up
(way way way up, way way way up)
(X2)
Verse 2: Selah the Corner
I ain't really with the back talk, homie
But you know that ima talk back
You ain't pitching you could balk back
You ain't got a ride, you can walk back
Aye, we need to get the salt back
Dark rap make the blackboard
And if you ain't teaching from the Most High
Lil homie you could get a chalk back
Homie I could never go back
I was down in the gutter mayne
Low low, in a dark place
Oh thank God He the Prozac
Everybody gotta raise up
Knees down, and the prayers up
Lock down, homie stay up
Tell em all that there's a way up
Verse 3: Jered Sanders
The blood
We covered by it
Speaking up and everyone is silent
If we don't, man y'all confused
We be dropping jewels like a drunken pirate
Show enough
The party's uninvited
With the Sunday fire I be praising God with
Prolly leaving everyone inspired if they spirit's any higher they would mosh pit
We don't really want that, do we?
Man I ain't ever cared what the haters say
Y'all tripping
My sauce dripping
Like a winner goes bathed with the Gatorade
Flame in the 808
Straight propane, lemme demonstrate
Put fire in the beat and do the same thing Eminem and Jay did in “Renegade”
Verse 4: Bumps INF
Look up, (Look up!)
Man look at what the God cooked up
Coulda took us with a beam and a touch
But (no) good God that's mean in the clutch
Teaming it up
With a rough punch and I don't play game like putt putt, (swing)
Gotta let God be the gut punch
He's running the play like hut hut
If you really tryna have a dust up
Hunk your pride and recognize we're just us
Plus the Mighty Hand of God
A rough gust
Swinging with your might
You'll get your bust up
Come hear the kid and get your roughed up
Like Paul and Silas
Tell em and then cough it, virus
Benefit righteous
Feeling it
Living it
Pie us, Bias
Chorus

Bizzle Feat. Sevin - Way Up ("Light Work"EP Available Now!!! $7.99)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Way Up," from Bizzle's 2018 album *Light Work*, isn't just a collection of rhymes; it's a declaration of spiritual ascent and unwavering faith. The track opens with an electrifying intro that immediately establishes a sense of powerful movement, likening their trajectory to a rocket launch, "Higher than NASA off a launch and lift." This imagery sets the stage for a song that aims to elevate its listeners beyond earthly struggles and into a higher spiritual plane. The lyrics throughout the song emphasize a deliberate and forceful approach to spreading the gospel, using metaphors like "archers" with "sharpened tips" aiming for the "heart," illustrating a mission to impact listeners directly with spiritual truth. The comparison to an "arsonist lighting a match up and then tossing it onto gasoline" signifies the incendiary power of their message, intended to ignite a transformation in those who hear it.
The core message of "Way Up" centers on the transformative power of God and the commitment of the artists to sharing that message, no matter the obstacles. Bizzle's first verse powerfully contrasts his past struggles, recounting his time working at Walmart with a scan gun for canned goods, with his current calling. This personal narrative underscores the divine intervention that shifted his path, explicitly stating, "Told God if you're not with it I quit this. That's when He told me no, you just go and be lit lit." This moment of surrender and divine affirmation is a pivotal point, propelling him onto the road to share his testimony and encourage repentance, as he states, "the goal is repentance." This aligns with the biblical injunction found in Luke 24:47, where Jesus commanded his disciples to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins in his name to all nations. The repeated chorus, "We gon take them way way way... Way way way up," serves as a powerful anthem of hope and spiritual uplift, reinforcing the idea that through God's power, profound change and elevation are possible.
The collaborative nature of "Way Up" further amplifies its message. Selah the Corner’s verse speaks to overcoming adversity, describing his past as being "down in the gutter mayne, Low low, in a dark place." He credits God as the ultimate solution, referring to Him as "the Prozac," a powerful metaphor for divine healing and peace. His call to action, "Everybody gotta raise up. Knees down, and the prayers up," echoes the posture of humility and supplication found throughout Scripture, such as in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which promises healing for the land when God's people humble themselves and pray. Jered Sanders' contribution brings a fiery declaration of faith, emphasizing being "covered by the blood" of Christ, a clear reference to the atonement described in Romans 5:9 and Hebrews 9:14. He speaks of dropping "jewels" of wisdom and igniting inspiration through praise, aiming to stir listeners to a spiritual awakening. The comparison to Eminem and Jay-Z's "Renegade" suggests a desire to deliver impactful, technically proficient verses that carry profound spiritual weight. Bumps INF’s verse concludes the lyrical onslaught with an emphasis on God's omnipotence and protective grace, stating, "Man look at what the God cooked up. Coulda took us with a beam and a touch. But (no) good God that's mean in the clutch." He encourages listeners to recognize God's power in their lives and submit to His guidance, drawing parallels to the resilience of Paul and Silas in Acts 16, who, despite severe persecution, continued to spread the gospel. The overall message is one of spiritual victory, resilience, and the transformative power of God, encouraging listeners to rise above their circumstances and ascend to a higher spiritual existence through faith and devotion.
