Verdict
Safe

Wholesome Christian hip-hop, no concerning content

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics are from a Christian/gospel-inspired rap song with overwhelmingly positive and uplifting content. The song references faith in God, perseverance through hardship, and personal growth. Biblical references include Lazarus (resurrection), Satan as an adversary, and a father-son relationship with God. The '10,000 hours' reference alludes to the concept of dedicated practice and hard work. There is no profanity, sexual content, violence, drug or alcohol references, or mature themes of concern. The mention of Satan is used in a standard religious context common in Christian music. The playful wordplay ('seesaw,' 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' 'feline') is lighthearted and imaginative. The overall message promotes faith, resilience, and purpose, making it suitable for virtually all age groups.

Lyrics

I was down but now I'm up, yeah This all God this ain't no luck, yeah I used to be stuck in that mud (woah) Yeah, I was down but now I'm up, up, up, up I was down but now I'm up, yeah This all God this ain't no luck, yeah I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah I was down but now I'm up, up, up, up (aye) Up like my name Lazarus Know Satan gon' be mad at this I had to ask my Dad if it's okay to swing my bat at this He said, "Boy if I pitch it, it's out of the park" Moving so quick it's like they stuck in park They see the numbers but I see the heart Ten thousand hours He spent in the dark Putting in good work Even though He didn't even know that it would work Talk about a man who grew up in woodwork Do it for the love, that's the way it should work (yeah, yeah) I know some people gon' look at me crazy and I'm like for what? Yeah, I was stuck I was down but now I'm up This all God this ain't no luck I used to be stuck in that mud I was down but now I'm up, up, up, up I was down but now I'm Down, now I'm up like a seesaw When I'm on the beat, like an old man's lawn better keep off From the ground to the treetops Got clouds on my feet like Jack and the Beanstalk Jumped off quick, went straight into free-fall Cowboy hat and a mic singing "Heehaw" Landed on my feet like a feline Put 'em back in the seat, like a recline Aye, what you mean I'm not worthy Did it with a purpose Didn't need a permit Digging from the bottom and I brought it to the surface Mind your business, now who I worship Who the little God making big, big, big moves Ticktock turn into a tick-tick-tick boom Yeah, I talk a lot of stuff Prolly thought it was a bluff 'Til I went and turned it where I was down but now I'm up (up, let's go, yeah) This all God this ain't no luck I used to be stuck in that mud, yeah Yeah, I was down but now I'm up, up, up, up I was down but now I'm up
