Overtime - Elevation

A lot of pages in the scripture, I read it once.
A preacher man said the lord went and sent his son.
So all the sinister sinners could sit in innocence and think about the possibilities of what it was.
And I just look forward to futuristic real endeavors, of me and all my people toasting like it lasts forever.
But I just know it can leave faster than it came, so I'm just trying to seal my roof protect me from the rain.
And all I really want is to see people doing better.
Hardcore rap said I should be a fucking savage.
Like I should have bars and talk about bitches but really, I'm not trying to be what I'm not, I got a vision.
I hate rap in fact, nah take that back, I hate rappers that make the rap game look whack.
But if you really ask me it's the industry I hate.
Puppets on a string what's it take to be great?

So I'm gonna do this on my own.
I'll see what's left when you're all alone.
You can just try to hear me, take a look into the work of my dreams.
Elevation.
Elevation.

So as I'm movin' I'm growing, I'm at my pinnacle, I'm trying to be timeless and move hundred thousand physicals.
And fuck a label I ain't selling out for shit, I'll make it all in my own and change lives with my hits.
So people listening can take my shit with grains of salt, or learn a lesson about the hatred that will paint us all.
In a way I'm trying to find a way to paint us all, a bigger picture so we can all be involved.
I never knew pain until I learned the joy of pleasure, I never knew love until I found someone I treasured.
It's kind of funny how for granted all the shit we take, until we lose it and panic and finally kneel and pray.
Life is a trip so I hope to God you packed your bags, cuz you could stand in line and never see the light of day.
They say I preach in all my music like a chosen one, like I am wise beyond my years but I'm a smoking gun.

So I'm gonna do this on my own.
I'll see what's left when you're all alone.
You can just try to hate on me, take a look into the work of my dreams.
Elevation.
Elevation.
So I'm gonna do this on my own.
I'll see what's left when you're all alone.
You can just try to hear me, take a look into the work of my dreams.
Elevation.
Elevation.
