Jackie Hill Perry Pick It Up Lyrics

[Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up

[Verse 1: Jackie Hill Perry]
I'm spying the liar, the cowards, the biased
The powers that's prowling around in the lake
Follow the Bible
Or try to debate
Follow the Bible
Or vibe with the snake
If it's His will that it's better than better
Then why would I skate? Why would I coddle the fake?
I'm awaking, I'm twinnin' them
In the mirror, I'm Mary and Kate and Ashley
When I'm sinning, I'm synonym
Double the trouble, you hustling sugar
You keeping it sweet like it's cinnamon
I tussle with sentences, not trusting in Benjamin Button
But the enеmy, God of this age
God of the Bible, thе body a page
Read 'em and tell 'em
Tell if it's light or it's shade
Darker the berry, the better the grape
Out in the field and I'm picking through wiccans
The rituals, flicking through mentions from the slaves
Give 'em this wisdom, they listen to sage
Twisting and turn 'til they burn in the lake
Uh, energy, energy, energy
No, I'm not Timothy
Or married to Kennedy
Jackie Onassis
A beanie, a hoodie
And Dickie jeans The drip is a liberty
[Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up

[Verse 2: Jackie Hill Perry]
The drip is a liberty, freedom of speech
Yes, I'm a woman with freedom to preach
P is Aquila, Priscilla is me
We ain't the one, but the one who begets
Is the one in the three
Cece's be wining for free
Juanita Bynum's be finding these sheets
I'ma remind 'em that time is a common denominator
Lady, day is a lease

[Verse 3: Deandre Hunter]
'Cause we walk, yeah, I ain't too far from God
Yeah, sometimes we ain't gon' talk
Yeah, you ain't the friend I want
Yeah, I done surrendered a lot
Yeah, now I gotta go, give it up
They ain't putting no fear in us
I don't think that they hearing us
Sometimes we walk, yeah, I ain't too far from God
Yeah, sometimes we ain't gon' talk
Yeah, you ain't the friend I want
Yeah, I done surrendered a lot
Yeah, now I gotta go, give it up
They ain't putting no fear in us
I don't think that they hearing us
[Outro]
Pick up your Bible
Let it light your way
Every single day
It's here to stay
