Elevate

Yeah, yeah Look We rise up, keep pushin Elevate, elevate I'm from a place where dreams get chased or they fall flat Where every corner got a story, every face got a past Mama prayed for my safety, always told me I'm blessed But the city got its demons, and they put me to the test Started with a dollar, now we talkin' 'bout success Did it for my people, got no time to second-guess The pressure made a diamond, man, I shine through the mess Never settle for the middle, always aiming for the crest Late nights, no sleep, tryna figure out my fate Had to learn the hard way, real ones come with weight Lost a couple friends, but I found a better way Now they see me comin' up, but I've been up from the gate Through the rain and the pain, I kept running the race, Used to dream in the basement, now I'm filling the space Elevate to the top, ain't no time to waste, They say sky is the limit, I'm 'bout to orbit the place Elevate, elevate, ain't no holdin' me down Gotta hustle every day just to hold my crown From the ground to the sky, see me takin' my flight Elevate, elevate, yeah, we reachin' new heights Started off broke, but my spirit stayed rich Told myself I gotta grind, I ain't never gon' switch Seen the fake, seen the real, and I know which is which Every setback, every loss was just fuel for the pitch Built a castle from the gravel, man, I learned from the falls Used to doubt my reflection, now I'm breakin' through walls Got the city on my back, but I'm answering calls Told 'em "I'm a different breed," got the courage of Saul They talkin' 'bout the struggle, but I walk in with pride Every scar is a story, every pain justified From the lows to the highs, man, I've been on a ride Now they see the bigger picture when they look in my eyes Elevate, celebrate, yeah, I do it for the fam Took the dreams in my head, put 'em all in the plan Through the fire, through the storms, still standin' like a man Elevate, elevate, that's the motto, understand I've been patient with my growth, now I'm reapin' what's mine Took my pain and my vision, turned 'em both into rhymes So when you hear me on this beat, know I'm takin' my time 'Cause I'm built for the journey, every hill I will climb Elevate, elevate, ain't no holdin' me down Gotta hustle every day just to hold my crown From the ground to the sky, see me takin' my flight Elevate, elevate, yeah, we reachin' new heights Yeah, we rise, we shine, we breakin' all the chains Elevate, elevate, we gon' change the game From the block to the boardroom, we makin' it rain Elevate, elevate, remember the name
