The Rising - Sho Baraka, Trip Lee, Erica Cumbo

Oh what a beauty that life was found

Life was found

Life was found

Only in those whom which grace abounds

Grace abounds

Grace abounds

Darkness can no longer hold me down

Hold me down

Hold me down

It’s a new day now the sun is out

Sun is out

Sun is out

The sun’s out, the sun’s out…

I got a whole lotta light.

Homie Imma let it shine.

(shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homie, Imma let it shine, (shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homie, Imma let it shine, (shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

Sun’s out, the sun is out.

(Yeah, ok)

We do the Father’s business, you can go to work too

These are family matters, some are just Urkel

We celebrate the Son, yeah he brings life now

A whole lotta people asking us to calm down

You’d get excited if you understood forgiveness

And you should see the difference ever since the light hit us

I’m no English teacher, but I can spell repentance

And eternity in hell is a run on sentence

(Slow down.)

Yeah, how do we escape that?

Only by getting that judge to erase that

You heard that, he’s the homie, death couldn’t hold him

He carried the weight of the world on his shoulders

Best straighten up, death’s getting closer

Either you’re crooked or the world’s leaning over

Living in the sun is a lifestyle, some got the light, but watcha gonna do now?

I got a whole lotta light.

Homie Imma let it shine.

(shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homie, Imma let it shine, (shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homoe, Imma let it shine, (shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

Sun’s out, the sun is out

(Yeah, what, ok.)

When you said the sun is out, whatcha really mean?

Let me make it plain, let me spill the beans.

(spill the beans)

God sent his Son just to intervene

Cause we was walking dead, like that Thriller scene.

(Yo)

You want things to be better but its still a dream

The work God already started, he’s fulfilling things

Hang with Adam like he’s still a fiend

But instead I try to walk in that light like Mike in Billy Jean

Slow down

I was all about me

Trying to get ahead like a guillotine

But now I’m following the head, he’s the realest thing

He lived and rose, bro, but he died in between

So if you want some evidence that he was really

Look at the lives of the guys

Cause he opened up our eyes, bro, we been redeemed

Praise God, the sun is out, I can feel the beams

I got a whole lotta light.

Homie Imma let it shine.

(shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homie, Imma let it shine, (shine)

A whole lotta light.

Homie, Imma let it shine, (shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

Homie, let it shine.

(shine)

(Yeah)

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

Sun’s out, the sun is out

(Yeah)

Look at folks in other countries believe

He walked on water just to reach over seas

Yeah, he’s fully God, fully man

He thought the Son was down, but he would rise once again

Let’s go

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

Sun’s out, the sun is out

The Good Shepherd, a barn was his birthplace

Who else you know would stop time with the birthday.

(Nobody)

Many people live their lives just to get dough

Watch the bread of life rise without the yeast though

(Let's go.)

Joy to the world, gift to all the people

Best Christian rap ya hear without a beat, yo

(Shine)

The way we view the sun is so feeble

That’s why we live backwards and we’re so evil

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

I told ya boys that the sun is out

Sun’s out, the sun is out
