elevate - derick knox lyrics

the bottom is close..don’t jump though the hollowest soul..
still floats drift slow through the shallow end note your surroundings
i know you’ve been here before you were down in
the deeper crevices but you left with no evidence
you ain’t never been helped no, reason to even yell
if you scream with your final breath it’s perceived, as being weak
before you ventilate you gotta learn to breathe…elevate
let it make you stronger than anybody that never faced –
demons that could swim. a better fate you deserve it
drown ya problems in a bottle but then it’s back to the surface
first it’s a one and done
then you realize you hurtin and worst than the night before when you cursed and said you were worthless
i heard. you once were fearless
i heard. it’s been a year and
i heard that n-body heard you when you were shedding them tears
birth onto this earth is-
something we ain’t request but i guess i could make it work
i don’t pray in a church
i don’t know if this body should ever lay in a he-rs-
but i’ll keep my soul i suppose the container ain’t my concern
used to hate my words-
so if you plan on talking some sh-t you can wait your turn
cause no one a harsher critic i get to into the script
lately it’s been too intimate…
it’s like i knew from the rip that this was the shift …
yeah, yeah
ele-vate
medi-tate
meta …yeah
p-ssed the point of no return
form sermon to a verse word is bond since them nervous accapellas got me heard
been learned once you convince yourself they believe it
though i’m not at my peak ‘least i only suffer in seasons
this my core and heart now you can see the sh-t
bleed and drip
-plop plop-
sleezy wits
this was not an easy fix
only when the path clears you’ll view a new life like a pap smear
and that was lookin’ back at last year

check check check
(verse 2)
tryna build a legacy, that don’t come with instructions
so i’m giving every part of me. making somethin from nothing
it’s hard to see when the sun isn’t shining rising above it
they say we come from the bottom but still i feel i could plummet
afraid..of disappointing myself or my mother my brothers boosted my confidence wasn’t used to these compliments just…
ele- vate
ele-
yeah
….check

every punch is dragon fist, n-body would slay the kid
when, i was just a youngin pretending i’m saying sh-t
but now i’m a saiyan b-tch
collecting h-lla wins but the
l’s made me gifted you’d think i was facing spliffs
n-gg-s said i got the juice , so homie come take a sip
repet-tions reinforce every sentence i say legit
till the day this nation knows what it means when i say the shift
imma strain these vocal chords and write till i sprain a wrist
ohhh and i feel ungrateful
knowing i make you question devotion but i’m a loner by nature
i’m staying true to it
guess i’ve been too elusive in nicer words
reclusive in spite of urge to ascend
all highs come to an end
all lies within my head
allies n-gg-s n’ friends
respect, my way of working …
i hope it’s worth it i hope (it’s worth- it yeah)
days later and i, reword this
he learned quick of his own standards, and like a lanyard he
hold the keys, and his goals close
long time coming he’s one in millions an old soul. slow growth
make it organic and give the woke hope
let my n-gg-s know it’s a given and bring the sh-t home
elevate. spit a song like a quick poem
any place where your uninspired is not home
