### [Intro]
Yeah…
Still standin’.
Concrete cracked under me…
But Heaven kept the structure up.
### [Verse 1]
Rain hit the ceiling, water through the basement
Mama kept prayin’ while eviction notes waited
Friends turned ghosts when the lights got shaky
Only heard God when the whole block faded
I was outside with the wolves and the sirens
Heart full of smoke, couldn’t tell who was lyin’
Smile on my face but my spirit was dyin’
Soul on the ropes, still the King kept guidin’
Had dreams in a backpack, holes in my coat
Pain in my chest every time hope broke
World said swim but the river don’t float
Grace kept breath in a body gone cold
Now every scar look painted like scripture
Every dark road made the vision much richer
Devil throw stones but the armor got thicker
God build kings out the broke and the bitter
### [Pre-Chorus]
I done seen walls fall flat like dominoes
Still survived nights nobody knows
Hands to the sky while the wind got violent
Found real peace in the middle of sirens
### [Chorus]
Build me up when the ground keep shakin’
Hold my soul when my faith feel vacant
Every loss turned gold in the makin’
You the reason I ain’t breakin’
I was ten toes deep in the flood
Still came clean through the dirt and the mud
Whole world changed but You stayed the same
That’s why I still call on Your name
### [Verse 2]
Pressure make diamonds, pain make prophets
Fell so low had to look up to solve it
Carried the cross through the noise and gossip
Now my testimony sound like a choir in the projects
Used to chase validation from strangers
Now I move wise when I walk through danger
Ain’t no chain on me, soul got anchors
God wrote life where the devil left fractures
Every late night built discipline slowly
Every heartbreak pushed the spirit closer
Could’ve lost my mind when the nights got colder
But mercy wrapped around my shoulders
Now I speak life with authority
Peace too loud for insecurity
Storms came hard but they couldn’t bury me
Grace turned survival into purity
### [Bridge]
Even if the lights go black…
Even if the sky collapse…
I know who carried me.
I know who covered me.
Can’t fake this strength…
Can’t buy this peace…
This came from wrestlin’ with Heaven
And still bein’ reached.
### [Final Chorus]
Build me up when the earth start breakin’
When my heart feel tired and my hands keep shakin’
You was there every single occasion
Turned my ruins into renovation
From the ashes, from the dust
You rebuilt what pain destroyed in us
Now I walk like the storm can’t touch me
’Cause the Most High still got me.
### [Outro]
Yeah…
Still standin’.
Not because I’m strong…
Because I was held together.
