Elevation
Shotta Spence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life can make you bitter but it make you some butter
Took a couple Ls but I always recover (I get up)
Woke up this morning hit some push-ups and prayers
I've been trying to read God's hand writing but it's so cluttered
How you broke and you cool with it?
You ain't paid if your crew isn't
Bitch I'm camoed down like a lieutenant
Overstand
I'm about my family do you overstand?
If you ain't God, then you ain't changing up my plans (understand)
Just remember money doesn't make the man
[Chorus]
Ooh-whoo, Elevation
Is the only thing that we chasing
I said oh Lord
Could you save us
From the drama and the frustration, Lord
[Verse 2]
How you broke and you cool with it?
You ain't paid if your crew isn't
Bitch I'm camoed down like a lieutenant
Roley dial got a pool in it
Shotta Spence you a fool with it
Searching lost and found 'cause the roof missing
Collecting dead faces like a mortician (spend it)
Split the rest with the poor children
Watch your mouth when I'm around, would you?
All that pessimism leave your plans butchered (chop)
Said you supposed to be the one winning
Shoulda, woulda, coulda but you didn't
Overstand
I'm about my family do you overstand?
If you ain't God, then you ain't changing up my plans (not a chance)
We elevating over every circumstance
[Chorus]
Ooh-whoo, Elevation
Is the only thing that we chasing
I said oh Lord
Could you save us
From the drama and our frustration, Lord
[Verse 3]
Frank Knuckles, you a fool with it
Hundred-something on some new linen
Rock it twice, then I'm through with it
Give it away if my dude fit it
Remember days when life was so simple
J's full of creases, shirts full of wrinkles
I was enticed by a fat ass and dimples
Chino was alive beating on the lunch tables
Man it's so crazy how fucked up life be
They shot my partner up over some weed
Oh how I wish that Big Chino could see
Cause way back then, all of this was a dream
All my plans
Never ever went according how I planned
I know Jahovah got my future in his hands
We gon' float up right in to the promised land
[Chorus]
Ooh-whoo, Elevation
Is the only thing that we chasing
I said oh Lord
Could you save us
From the drama and the frustration, Lord
Free GeeMoney you hearddd!
