Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!
Uh!
I’m just tryin' ELEVATE
Been grindin’ almost everyday
Everybody wanna talk shit
Freestyle; keep walkin'
People like who’s that?
Old wolf with some new raps

That freestyle 10 years
I was provin' I was top tier
In my mind i’m the best out
Freestylin' for some checks now
Last trip to Puerto Rico
Only stayed for a week though
Next time for some real estate
Everybody wanna feel a way
The minute that you elevate for your benefit
They discredit your accomplishments that’s the negative when they hesitant
I’m just doin' this for me though
Main chick she a G though
Crack a bottle cause we drink though
Vibes different from the weed smoke
I’m just tryin' ELEVATE
Been grindin’ almost everyday
Everybody wanna talk shit
Freestyle; keep walkin'
People like who’s that?
Old wolf with some new raps
That freestyle 10 years
I was provin' I was top tier
God damn new me though
Flow switched now they askin' for a feature
I’m just playin' still a no name
In his own lane, flow’s cocaine hits your whole brain like!
Man claimin' he the best out
Freestylin' for some checks now
Livin' in your head Rent Free
Technically when you stream that’s money sent to me
I’m just doing this for me though
Main chick she a G though
Crack a bottle cause we drink though
Vibes different from the weed smoke
I’m just tryin' ELEVATE
Been grindin’ almost everyday
Everybody wanna talk shit
Freestyle; keep walkin'
People like who’s that?
Old wolf with some new raps
That freestyle 10 years
I was provin' I was top tier
I’m just tryin' ELEVATE
Been grindin’ almost everyday
Everybody wanna talk shit
Freestyle; keep walkin'
People like who’s that?
Old wolf with some new raps

That freestyle 10 years
I was provin' I was top tier
