Elevate
Adi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Ayo Teeze, play summin different man"
- It's the Feux like fiya -
People always tryna pull you down
People always tryna pull you down
Thats why I'm tryna create my own sound
I'm a flabbergasted bastard from the lands of farness
They just can't believe the songs that I made in darkness
In fairness I'm just shooting bullets straight into armors
It's HipHop and psychs that create all nirvanas
Sounds and flows, yeah I'd say that they're pretty harmless
But it's their wrong-doings coming right from their karmas
I don't care about success, nor being the best
But I know damn right, I'm different to the rest
Keep that on my chest quite high
I know I come across as confident, I'm quite shy
My goal right now is just seeking knowledge
Everything is pointless even going fuckin' college
Collage of my life, would
Look like my life like
Different crazy shit in my life
Like people in my life
Gettin' hyped on the mic now
Cus music is my life
Always strivin'
To be my fucking best
So I put a middle finger up to say fuck the rest
Always strivin'
To be my fucking best
So I put a middle finger up to say fuck the rest
People always tryna pull you down
I'm just tryna create my own sound
I'm just hoppin' on this beat right now
And its clean like wow, it's the MediTape sound
People always tryna pull you down
I'm just tryna create my own sound
I'm just hoppin' on this beat right now
And its clean like wow, it's the MediTape sound
Take ya shit, I'll leave with it
That’s baby shit I get my shit for free, dawg you pay for it
Act your age cus it’s lame and shit
Save your shit obviously
Take your shit, I’ll leave with it
All I do, no I don’t know
Not really tho
Don’t really know
- On da Meditape -
The birds are free in oblivion
As they take off, nothing can touch them anymore
Waking up in this box
We are still blessed with wings of our own
Shit then, the album is finally out
Look up to the trees my man
Forreal
Tryna fly high
High out my window
So damn free
I wanna feel the wind blow
Though my hair
Touch the sky and the air
Free like a bird
I hope that you’ve heard




That the MediTape is here
I hope that you've heard
