Drake reflects on the distance between his current life and the modest circumstances he recalls, pumping gas on road trips between Cincinnati and Dayton, saving champagne for occasions that felt out of reach. The track, which features additional uncredited vocals from French Montana, builds around the refrain 'elevate', framing success as both a personal mandate and a collective responsibility. He credits divine favour over temptation, noting 'I wanna thank God for workin' way harder than Satan', and insists his only obligation is to tell it straight.
The verses catalogue the mechanics of that elevation: delegating tasks, moving safes beside the bed, thinking in hundred-thousand-dollar weekends. There is little sentimentality in the accounting. Drake writes that if his associates got a chance, 'my niggas got it too like it's contagious', treating opportunity as something transmissible within a tight circle. The song reached the top twenty in Canada and the United States.
"Elevate" is a track by Drake, from the album Scorpion, released 28th June 2018. The track is 3:05 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Drake.
