ELEVATE*

[Intro: Kevin Abstract] I ain't never made of nothin' I'm always hittin' the change button My publicist said "Say nothing" Just to keep me out of trouble I ain't never made of nothin' I'm always hittin' the change button My publicist said "Say nothing" Just to keep me out of trouble (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus: Kevin Abstract] Just to keep me out of trouble, ah Last year we hit a double, ah Told my niggas add another, yah Shit was smooth, no fumble, yah (Ooh) Then I dropped when we tussled, ah Back then when we struggled, ah No one cared about the juggle, ah Can you see me, ee? [Chorus: JOBA] Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down [Verse 1: Dom McLennon] All these voices on the sidelines Feel like doubting lies, like what's in my head Difference is a year ago, they were not there Difference is a year ago, they did not care Difference is a year ago, nobody felt like they would have to tell me, "Don't forget where you come from" But I loved my city when they didn't love me Ain't it funny when you in that conundrum? I ain't one for all of your corruption, nigga I don't move at your presumptions, nigga Now we ride your repercussions, nigga Do we look like fuckin' stuntmen, nigga? I ain't gone, I ain't function, nigga I was overdue for an eruption, nigga You ain't even have the heart to face me when your problems changed me Go fucking figure [Pre-Chorus: Kevin Abstract] Just to keep me out of trouble, ah Last year we hit a double, ah Told my niggas add another, yah Shit was smooth, no fumble, yah Then I dropped when we tussled, ah Back then when we struggled, ah No one cared about the juggle, ah Can you see me, ee? [Chorus: JOBA] Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down [Verse 2: Merlyn Wood] I woke up on tour bus I woke up on aeroport Man I really dropped out With no promise this would work Man, I really dropped out With no promisin', promisin', promisin', promisin' You an astonishment! You an astonishment! Look at my conglomerates, look at what we did They said we was kids, was tryin' to live Instead we made millions, boy I'm resilient Boy we made millions, boy we made millions, boy we made millions [Verse 3: Matt Champion] Now we ain't gotta wait 'til devil Big guilt cop over the sinner To Ruby set black through the canyon I spit on memory lane Our lovin' is all that remains Dust off and I'm keepin' my pace I'm talkin' to wind today Chalk it up, it's weird today My momma pop bottles, it went to the roof Laughin' and smilin', now keep it on loop Food for all of my wolves In times of solitude [Chorus: JOBA] Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down Elevate, elevate, elevate They can't hold me down [Verse 4: Matt Champion, JOBA, Kevin Abstract, JOBA and Kevin Abstract] I'ma work it out in my lifetime Wouldn't trade it all in my right mind I'm too drunk tonight, pack a punch, I might take a bullet for you (That one day someone--) To be truthful, I'd hate on me too 'Cause no one deserves what I want, no one is worthy I'm selfish as fuck, I know that it's wrong At least I admit it, I wish that I didn't I don't know why I do it, always had the feeling That one day someone would listen, listen Maybe this route ain't what it's made out to be Even though I wanted it forever Never in my life has it been so hard to be Maybe I could be better, maybe I would do better If it wasn't so hard to be myself When you get to shinin', they'd rather see you dying, nobody likes it [Outro] Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it Likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it, likes it
