elevation
B.A.N.G! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel the elevation
Feet can't touch the ground
Hear the trumpets
Can you feel it the sensation
That we're never coming down
Hear the trumpets play it
Baby girl what you want to know
I can get you caught up real slow
Im just tryna go from rich to poor
Some shit that the money can't fix
And the clothes can't cover
Let the beat just ride out
To the sunset
This life too deep I ain't high yet
Got some rap shit need a vibe check
Sometimes I just get so pressed
Warm sheets when I hold my breathe
Boo Peep couldn't count my sheep
No sound when I cry my wolf
High hats couldn't touch my high
ET couldn't glide like this
Ain't this all a risk
Ain't that bout a bitch
I Think in pronouns
I'm thinking bout you
I'm thinking bout me
I'm thinking bout us
I'm thinking too much
Can you feel the elevation
Feet can't touch the ground
Hear the trumpets
Can you feel it the sensation
That we're never coming down
Hear the trumpets play it
I'm thinking bout you
I'm thinking bout me
I'm thinking bout us
I'm thinking too much
I'm thinking bout you
I'm thinking bout me
I'm thinking bout us
I'm thinking too much
Sometimes I feel off balance
When I ain't got a hit
Boxed up in the garden like a play for the knicks
Wire to wire like a feen for a fix
Life is a bitch but the bad hoe can choke on my dick
Need an assist
Where village that was raising the youth
All the knowledge gained from Twitter or just binging the tube
But that's the pedigree losing the recipes
No I can't let it be
Fucking up our legacy
Fucking up but never lucking up
And now you mad
Cause it's something up and
You sucking up for a sucker punch
In the eye make ya vision hazey
Put ya hands up got the crowd going crazy saying
Ayeee oh ayeee hoe
Left hook to ya cheek bone
Chin music make ya see home
The right hook nigga we on
Now put ya hands high
Now put ya hands up high tonight
Now put ya hands together one time
Put your hands together one time
Now put ya hands high




Now put ya hands up high tonight
Now put ya hands together one time
