Artist Bio Hailing out of California, these three San Francisco natives are modern-day storytellers for young millennials. Making music out of real life scenarios that connect young people through personal experience, Xpress gives you content that’s sure to elevate thought. Xpress is a playful take on the verb “express” which means to convey a thought or feeling in words and conduct. It’s a fitting title for an eclectic group of artists on a mission to break preconceived notions of the typical Christian sound. Specializing in a diversified mix of hip-hop and R&B, the group was started in 2016 to embrace the varied and continuously unheard voices of a new generation.
Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep ya head up, never let it hang down
When you stand up, stand tough
Make sure that you stand ground
Never worry what they say
Just keep doin' your own thang
I'm gon be okay
Yeah, you gon be okay

[Chorus]
Keep ya head up, never let it hang down
When you stand up, stand tough
Make sure that you stand ground
Never worry what they say
Just keep doin' your own thang
I'm gon be okay
Yeah, you gon be okay

[Verse 2]
I keep my worry on E now
That means that gas cannot be found
Car only run on that faith, yeah
Driving without any sight now
Many may think that I'm crazy
'Cause what I'm standin' on's brazen
Paint the picture, if you want it, get it
No time given, finish, better work and win it
Keep 'em comin', flip it, anyone can get it
Like my range is far
And you know I gotta kill it
Pass 'em up in a track race
I won't stop now, I won't faint
Put down that Instagram, what the word say?
More than a conqueror, can do all things
So don't be surprised when you see me outside
With that armor and sword, I am a survivor

[Verse 3]
I know who got me, so no need to copy
I came a long way from that boy in the lobby
It's more than a hobby, so put in the work
Build chemistry, something like alchemy
I know troubles may come in the scene
Just don't let 'em get in between
All things are given to those who believe
Just walk with Him, then you will see

[Chorus]
Keep ya head up, show me high self-esteem
Even when it seems rough, things are never what seems like
'Cause my God will show up and show out, that's no doubt
The city ain't too cold now, I'm hoping that you know now
That He will never leave, forsake you, mislead or degrade you
I guess that's why I'm so grateful
Take a sec to tell Him thank you

[Bridge]
Be like clay inside His hands, He'll take the time to shape you
It's only one of you, so be it, watch where it'll take you

[Verse 4]
So keep ya head up, never let it hang down
I know I'm here to stay now, the hate gets out the way now
I'm on a different wave now, no time for any games now
It started off only a vision, I mix the precision and no need to aim now

Looking at the sky and the sun is shining, yeah it's shining for you
Never give up, baby, just keep striving, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]
This got that after Sunday chillin' up at grandma feel
Ooo, that's real, Oo, that's clutch
And she got that Midas touch, like diamond cuts
And I got enough 'cause my God supply my every need
Not worry how I’ll get blue cheese, I’m grateful that I got them keys

[Verse 6]
So keep ya head up, never keep your head down
That’s how I got my bread up
Because I never let up
So even if you fed up
Never put your head down
'Cause these demons never let up
If you stand up, gotta stand tough
Can’t break me like some handcuffs
