Elevation
TRU Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Cruising through the night won't pass
Hope the lights don't flash
Couple pints some gas
Shining bright motherfucker we know but we act like we don't
Cruising through the night won't pass
Hope the lights don't flash
Couple pints some gas
Shining bright motherfucker we know but we act like we don't

I just need my medication to deal with temptation
Focus on my meditation it leads to elevation

Cruising dirty with booze and purple my shooters lurking
Shubuta merchant Saint Mary servant beluga surfing
Computer searching bout universes I'm new to earth and
Renew my purpose I knew the worst and the truth is burden
A lie is certain that's why I talk about life in person
Deny my worth but you can't deny that my mind is working
Alive and burning through energy if the mic deserve it
I might reserve it I'm slight berzerker I fight in cursive
I got a dollar for ya dreams if it's lucid
While I'm mixing up the erk with some lemon-lime
Rolling up a blunt of that purp put me in my mind
Gotta do the speed limit headed down 59
Tryna get a piece of the sweet like a clementine
Keep my eyes open for them street sweepers
Please get us back to the Mary that conceived Jesus
Speed demon following our trail guess he heat-seeking
Hottest thing that's beneath freezing

Cruising through the night won't pass
Hope the lights don't flash
Couple pints some gas
Shining bright motherfucker we know but we act like we don't
Cruising through the night won't pass
Hope the lights don't flash
Couple pints some gas
Shining bright motherfucker we know but we act like we don't
I just need my medication to deal with temptation
Focus on my meditation it leads to elevation

Break it down as I ascend up on this ugly herbal
I'm feeling royal so today I'm fucking with the purple
I'm with my niggas so no squares ain't running in my circle
I hit the blunt it had me moving like a fucking turtle
Blast the music feel the vibe and get your liberation
She say I make her water fall like its precipitation
I free my mind and let it go guess its alleviation
All a nigga really needed was that activation
Cruising like I'm Mr. Moes gotta hold it in the road
Roll it light it hold the smoke
Where we go you never know
Be up high and away I can't come down not today
Don't bring that hate round my way
Right click cruise control that's just how I'm feeling
Hopped up in the coupe you know that bitch ain't have no ceiling

Done with taking loses know a nigga steady winning
Elevate to greatness and you hating just admit it
