Elevation

(álbum: All Praise Is Due - 2020)

(What's understood don't need to be explained and what's explained don't need to be re-iterated, keep up...)
Yes, lawd!

Just give me the flowers while I can smell 'em
Don't tell me you love me when I'm deceased
'Cause I need that shit while I'm still living
Just support a nigga through the ups and downs
Fuck the run around, I'll never give it to you
Stop and let the wind blow one time
Bask in the glory of the almighty
It's amazing to be here
No fear of the unknown
What's left for us?
Niggas dying everyday, I wanna care more
No empathy left inside me
PTSD in my asylum
Enjoy the silence, wrote this in solace, roses and violets
Open pill bottles, hoping peace follows
Receive tomorrow, I control everything around me (yes lawd!)
That's the truth and you know it is, fuck that
I'ma put it on my dick and tell 'em hold that
Never been a nigga that would disappoint you
Slick as oil, the greasy tactics don't work
I'm past the point of passing pleasantries
I masked the pain in songs through the melodies
I do this shit in ways that you won't believe
But all opinions just went deaf to me
I dive the depths, a deep and darker place
Grounded and gracious, I'm filled with thanks
This time last year I was filled with angst
Now my cup runneth over to the brim, my nigga
I don't know where to begin, my nigga
I'ma kill it with the pen, my nigga
Give me a second to vent, my nigga
Give me a second to vent, my nigga

You can see the way I did it (did it)
Roll that dope I'm feeling lifted (lifted)
Elevated bitch I get it (I get it)
I ain't asking for permission (permission)
I just talk it like I live it (live it)
No the sky is not the limit (limit)
Murder INC, Irv Gotti (Gotti)
I ain't fucking with nobody (body)

Nigga how you doin, what's your state of mind, feeling fine
I live on a cloud, never coming down, never that
Nigga how you doin, what's your state of mind, feeling fine
I live on a cloud, never coming down, never that

Tighten up, you're looking lost and lazy
My screws are loose and I can't find them baby
I used to think that life was like a maze
An amazing race but hard to keep the pace
Ain't no bitching, moaning, groaning nor complaining
I can level up to maintain it, keep it past the green but low alright
It cause seizures
Red and blue lights at night, search and seizures
Unlawful holdings, hope they don't hold us
Against our will and throw some chains on us
Right place at the wrong time, I guess
Feds undercover at the post, Reader's Digest
Can't digress right now, we knee-deep
Fuck that I'ma keep going
I'ma wolf but in sheep's clothing
I was low but I reloaded
Take foes and we expose 'em
I'ma do it like you supposed to do
Held down from the jump and shit
Kris Kross, make 'em jump in this
[?] with the pump, you bitch
So tell me when you had enough of this
And I, can't slow it down
Like won't somebody help me
It's not healthy living like this
Dirty conscious, soul enlightened lawd
