Praise on the Block

From the pavement to the pulpit

I learned how to rise

Stamping the struggle still

I keep my eyes on the prize

Every scar got a story

Every loss made a flame

I was built in the fire

Now I′m caught in his lane

He gon' lift it

Let the whole street sing

Hands to the sky

Raised in the river

Drunk in the sound

We were down in the valley

Drunk in the sound

Kick drum like thunder

Bassline walkin' the floor

Choir in the cut

Got the spirit at the door

I came with the burden

Left with the weight gone

Made it through the night, and I'm still goin' strong

The whole city shakes

Hands to the sky, the bells all ring

Grace in the rhythm, truth in the sound

We were down in the valley, now we're goin' out

Everything in the air, brain juice in my brain

Dark clouds over my head

Can't stay, oh

I was made for the climb

Now I'm dancing in the witness

Of a brand new life

We gon' lift it up

Let the whole street sing

Hands to the sky

And the bells all ring

We're down in the valley and now we're glory bound

We're down in the valley and we're glory bound
