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
