Elevation lyrics
by J. Stone
[Verse 1]
Top floors, marble floors, tearing up the stores
Go to awards, it's some sh*t you n*ggas can't afford
Big rewards when I record on these chords
Executive ploy, I'm getting rich just telling my story
n*ggas hate, let 'em hate, it's gon' make me great
I'm taking time with these albums, gotta make'em wait
I remember stacking thousands, pushing major weight
Now n*ggas went legit in a major way
And I'm 'bout to go on tour, n*gga, state to state
n*gga, I used to curb serve then hit that interstate
I had to hit the pen where gangbangers integrate
Trips to Vegas to put food on a dinner plate
But now a n*gga rapping, 'bout to buy a mansion
I was eight years old with dreams of living lavish
Police asking questions, I ain't got no answers
Catch me on stage with some backup dancers
Welcome to L.A., better have some manners
Everywhere I go, my goons have them blammers
You funny ass actors, call 'em Adam Sandler
Smoke Marathon OG, I don't f*ck with bammer
[Chorus]
I'm hurt tryna make it but I gotta take it
25, ain't no brakes, I ain't have no patience
I had to chase my dreams, f*ck a vacation
I'm tryna own a island, smoke like Jamaicans
I'm on now, got plugs with the Haitians
International Stone, I'm going different places
Definition Of Loyalty was my demonstration
Going up, n*gga, all I know is elevation
[Verse 2]
Definition Of Pain, I was hustling in the rain
Tryna stack me some change, n*gga, just to buy a chain
But that didn't change, the struggle still remains
So I had to switch lanes, n*gga, I'm onto different things
Turning bands to M's, n*gga, I know I'm him
Got it out the mud, turned that Stone to a gem
I'm 'bout to buy that new Lam', put some Forgi's on the rims
I'm getting groupie love, having orgies with some twins
You can't ride my wave, n*gga, it's sink or swim
How many wished death on me? n*gga, many men
I don't need Akeem to get the Semmi in
I leave the club and hop in tints you can't see me in
Presidential tints, presidential rollie's
Riding like the president but we don't f*ck with homie
f*ck Donald Trump and the crooked police
I'm tired of them n*ggas locking up my homies
[Chorus]
I'm hurt tryna make it but I gotta take it
25, ain't no brakes, I ain't have no patience
I had to chase my dreams, f*ck a vacation
I'm tryna own a island, smoke like Jamaicans
I'm on now, got plugs with the Haitians
International Stone, I'm going different places
Definition Of Loyalty was my demonstration
Going up, n*gga, all I know is elevation
[Verse 3]
My whole childhood I squabbled up with homies
Thunderdomes made me strong so I love my homies
But everybody ain't my homie, gotta watch 'em closely
I'm with the popping and the punching if n*ggas approach me
I come from the buildings with the rats and roaches
Now, I'm top of the charts, not to brag or boast
Now, I got gunman's with straps in holsters
I'm always watching out for them scandalous vultures
I made plays with my team, we ain't have no coaches
Just stuck to the blueprint to get back in motion
Flying private jets across Atlantic Ocean
I prayed for less, God granted more
I'm way too real with this organic flow
Should I get the Maybach, the Phantom or the Ghost?
And whoever slept on me, I'm taxing for a show
On my kids, n*gga, I ain't going back to broke
[Chorus]
I'm hurt tryna make it but I gotta take it
25, ain't no brakes, I ain't have no patience
I had to chase my dreams, f*ck a vacation
I'm tryna own a island, smoke like Jamaicans
I'm on now, got plugs with the Haitians
International Stone, I'm going different places
Definition Of Loyalty was my demonstration
Going up, n*gga, all I know is elevation
