Elevation
S.E.L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I been tryna keep up with myself, its getting super hard
Every track that I been making greater than the one before
I'm been on this crazy level that its tough to just ignore
So I'm tapping into new territory that I explore
G.R.E and JunioR on the beat, you see that we on the board
We be going three for three so expect that we making more
This our new elevation, levitating so gracious
Astonishment over accomplishment is what we chasing
To rephrase, we shooting for nothing less than amazing
How we do it, well we just keep on being creative
Let's face it, y'all just follow formulas when making
Repetitive ass tracks and you lacking inspiration
I don't tip toe around it, I stay ten toes down
And my roots underground, blowing up from the ground like a landmine
I show you how I get mine, it's time for you to show me why you worth time
People tryna tell me what they got to bring to the table when I brought the whole fucking table damn
I think it's funny how they turn, when you mention lessons learned
After all the time you showed with all those who aint thankful damn
I just need the time to breathe, I been focusing me, nothing really stopping me
As my elevation seems to keep growing, keep showing them what the fuck I'm bout
It's G.R.E and Chris Hovers and we hovering around
Straight skating on this beat, got JunioR with the sounds
Had to say it all again cuz I'm letting y'all know now
That we do this for the caged birds who's voices being drowned
Traveling through music, yea we elevating now

Elevating, I'm traveling to my destination
Straight to the top is where I'm headed
I'm the elevator
I'm passing on different stories
Book me but bring the paper
Gotta pay me first before I start flipping through pages
What you want, I got music for all ages
My microphone's a therapist when I'm going through phases
Delivering lyrics hoping they get the translation
I feel like I'm here to help them understand their changes
Create my own platform
I'm talking different stages
They tryna hop on my train, I can't tolerate lateness
Only LateNightEarlyMornings deserving my patience
Thankful and grateful, surrounded by all of this greatness
Only genuine energy I can't do the fake shit
Gotta enjoy every moment when it's all makeshift
No squares in my circle niggas really be tryna shape shift
Yet it's okay to stand out
Don't get in where you fit in
You hear the mystique in this beat as I'm spitting this written
Do away with the haters and tell em all good riddance
Look at the look on their face
They all look like a blemish
Too worried bout others
Self conscious of their own image




Opinions got nothing to do with you from the beginning
Lose the need to validate with them until you winning
