Yeah
Always been equipped for the dark days
Never expected it to be given to me
I’m prepared to get it, even if it comes the hard way
Pen game lethal like a sharp blade
I’ve been spread thin like Parkay
Squeezed to the limit
To succeed at my vision
To be strong. Aye
Long I’ve had to grieve, and my heart aches
But I’ve had enough, I’ll erupt
You should leave, or you’re Pompeii
How many times I gotta go back for the re-up
Prove it’s not an act, I can tee-up
Home run every time I swing, if the fence is a deep cut
Try to warn em I’ve been ahead what you see, cuz
Failed a couple times, that’s a truth that hurts
Collaboration, I can prove that works
And if I knew my worth
Before, I would’ve been had my mental locked in
Now you see me eating like I’m scarfing Bento boxes
Used to be that I would only train for a challenge
That worked in my brain, all that mattered
Was that if I overcame the obstacle
Then all my pain would be scattered
Heal me from the ways I’ve been rattled
But I’m learning if I’m always
striving to elevate, I can handle
Anything that was made to dismantle
All the progress, all the wins, all the knowledge
All the gains I’ve been adding
people might say I’m dramatic
But you haven’t witnessed what I’ve seen
The dismay and the panic
Chaos comes in waves, causing havoc
I’m just trying to stay focused and
Be consistent everyday, cuz it’s tragic
people fall away from good habits
Existential crises make you question
Whether you can take on the baggage
Guess I’m up for it cuz I’ve gotta be
Looking to the past to catch a lesson for the prodigy
Scratching away at chances like I’m trying to win the lottery
Yeah

Look
Y’all gotta do this
Already knew this
Cuz I am the future
You may not view this
As something that’s prudent
But I am the future
Been walking in what you’re starting to see
I’ve got the heart to believe
That we can do better
Know scary when you placed on the brink
Of ruin but you’ve got to elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Aye
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Yeah
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Aye
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Aye
Gotta elevate

Ungh
Getting to the point where I’m sick and tired
Everytime I Open up my phone I see another hashtag
Wishing we could flashback
Correct mistakes
Looking at the sky wishing for some better days
Looking at the future now I’m plotting for some better ways
Cause the past all filled up with some bad plays
And my mental all mixed up by the man on my shoulder
I’m a keep moving forward until the pain is over
In the eyes of most it’s no surprise
They look at me and see the king of skies
Only show them what I want them to see
But in the dark there’s nothing but pain in disguise
So I’m taking every day that I was given
I was working through the mud just to get it through my mission
I was grinding every night just to knock off opposition
Lane switching till the point I got the top position
I got a find a new way only way you elevate
I might just run out of options but I’ma find a new way
Weight of the world on my shoulders
Nights alone it will get colder
I’ma keep moving that Boulder
I’ma just keep getting stronger
Obstacles they tough I had to fight it
Working with the tools I was provided
Everything I touch now gold it’s Midas
Reaching for that future that is brightest
They didn’t really think that I would make it
I was pushing off a weight that could hold down a giant
Putting up my songs to every outlet till they could never defy it
They know the boy really flying
Ungh

Look
Y’all gotta do this
Already knew this
Cuz I am the future
Aye
You may not view this
As something that’s prudent
But I am the future
Been walking in what you’re starting to see
I’ve got the heart to believe
That we can do better
I know scary when you placed on the brink
Of ruin but you’ve got to elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Gotta elevate how you think
When you’ve got no options
Gotta elevate
