You Gotta Rise is an upbeat song, a skillful intertwining of prose, verses and lyrics woven into an inspiring gospel melodic message of exaltation. The Music and lyrics takes the listener on a journey, beginning with hopelessness, followed by encouraging words from GOD. The song humbles into a hymn and ascends again into inspirational joy. The vamp has a hint of southern gospel, with lyrics and a rhythm that is refreshing, and addictive to the listener, whether its sung in an African dialect (in the making) or English.
