Elevation
Overtime Lyrics

A lot of pages in the scripture, I read it once.
I have read many pages in religious texts, although only once.

A preacher man said the lord went and sent his son.
According to a preacher, God sent his son to Earth.

So all the sinister sinners could sit in innocence and think about the possibilities of what it was.
This allowed sinful individuals to feel innocent and contemplate the potential impact of this event.

And I just look forward to futuristic real endeavors, of me and all my people toasting like it lasts forever.
I anticipate engaging in future endeavors with my community, celebrating and enjoying as if it will never end.

But I just know it can leave faster than it came, so I'm just trying to seal my roof protect me from the rain.
However, I am aware that good times can fade quickly, so I aim to safeguard myself from hardships.

And all I really want is to see people doing better.
My genuine desire is to witness overall improvement in people's lives.

Hardcore rap said I should be a fucking savage.
Some hardcore rap suggests that I should embody a ruthless and aggressive persona.

Like I should have bars and talk about bitches but really, I'm not trying to be what I'm not, I got a vision.
They expect me to rap about women and act tough, but I refuse to pretend, as I have my own creative vision.

I hate rap in fact, nah take that back, I hate rappers that make the rap game look whack.
To be honest, I dislike certain aspects of rap music, specifically, rappers who diminish the quality of the genre.

But if you really ask me it's the industry I hate.
Yet, when you truly inquire, it is the music industry itself that I despise.

Puppets on a string what's it take to be great?
The industry treats artists like puppets, so what does it truly require to achieve greatness?

So as I'm movin' I'm growing, I'm at my pinnacle, I'm trying to be timeless and move hundred thousand physicals.
While progressing, I am also maturing and reaching my peak, aiming to create timeless music that sells in large quantities.

And fuck a label I ain't selling out for shit, I'll make it all in my own and change lives with my hits.
I refuse to compromise my integrity for a record label; instead, I will independently succeed and positively impact others through my music.

So people listening can take my shit with grains of salt, or learn a lesson about the hatred that will paint us all.
Listeners can either consider my music skeptically or glean insights into the destructive power of hatred that affects us collectively.

In a way I'm trying to find a way to paint us all, a bigger picture so we can all be involved.
I strive to create art that portrays a broader perspective, involving everyone in the process.

I never knew pain until I learned the joy of pleasure, I never knew love until I found someone I treasured.
It was only through experiencing pleasure that I understood the concept of pain, and it was only through finding someone important to me that I discovered love.

It's kind of funny how for granted all the shit we take, until we lose it and panic and finally kneel and pray.
Ironically, we often overlook the blessings we receive until they are lost, causing us to panic and resort to prayer.

Life is a trip so I hope to God you packed your bags, cuz you could stand in line and never see the light of day.
Life is an unpredictable journey, so I hope you are prepared for any outcome, for you may spend your whole life waiting without experiencing true fulfillment.

They say I preach in all my music like a chosen one, like I am wise beyond my years but I'm a smoking gun.
Some claim that I impart wisdom and preach through my music as if I were divinely chosen, but in reality, I am just someone with a controversial presence.

So I'm gonna do this on my own.
Therefore, I will pursue my aspirations independently.

I'll see what's left when you're all alone.
When you are devoid of company, I will ascertain what remains.

You can just try to hate on me, take a look into the work of my dreams.
Feel free to criticize me, but take a moment to understand the significance of my dream and the effort I've put into it.

Elevation.
This represents a desire for growth and advancement.

Elevation.
This signifies the ongoing pursuit of progress and ascension.

So I'm gonna do this on my own.
Consequently, I will proceed with my endeavors without relying on others.

I'll see what's left when you're all alone.
In solitude, I will determine what remains.

You can just try to hear me, take a look into the work of my dreams.
You may attempt to understand and listen to me, delving into the manifestation of my aspirations.

Elevation.
This signifies a longing for progression and growth.

Elevation.
This represents a continuous pursuit of advancement and improvement.
