Elevation
G.T.O. 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to G.T.O.'s song "Elevation" are filled with multiple layers of meanings. The song starts with the question "Can you feel the elevation?" and continues with the statement "Feet can't touch the ground." This can be interpreted as the singer experiencing a sense of euphoria, similar to a high or an out-of-body experience. The trumpets playing in the background add to the sensation of euphoria, making the listener feel as if they are in a celebratory environment, filled with dancing and cheering.


The second half of the chorus asks "Can you feel it, the sensation that we're never coming down?" This brings a sense of clarity to the interpretation of the song. The singer is expressing the desire to maintain this state of euphoria, and not come down from it. This could be related to a specific moment in time, or it could be metaphorical, representing a desire to transition from a difficult point in their life to a more uplifting one.


The rest of the lyrics are filled with personal introspection and reflection. The singer is trying to find meaning in their life outside of material wealth and status. They express a desire to escape their current situation and find something deeper and more profound. They mention being pressed, feeling off-balance, needing an assist, and feeling like life is a bitch. But despite all of this, they still have hope and are looking for a way to elevate themselves and those around them.

@luxeford547

Excerpt from my diary (June, 21 1992) got me here: Tore myself off of the company (of dad and sister) with a vague "I gotta get ready". Now I'm in my room listening to GTO Elevation (again). About as high as I was Midsummer's Eve. Nothing groundbreaking, up, up, up and so, so, so, so WONDERFUL!


Do with that what you wish, but I'm still alive and healthy 30 years later.

It's not that bad!

@leocollinsdj
