Helevated - Intellectual

[Intro]

Ooh

[Verse 1]

Crazy nobody knows, how much a nigga really goes thru

Bout' every time I spoke, was told it was not how I'm supposed to

Feel

They forcing the therapy on us cause people have problems communicating what's real

They can't be exposed

To what goes on outside, where life looks different than on phones

I'm filled with too much pride, to talk to God about my struggles

Like don't you see me dying? Ain't got no strength within these muscles

The devil is a lie, as I dig deep he hands me shovels

Feel like I shoot my shots, secluded in a fuckin bubble

Trying to protect myself but, ricochets off top, more like a royal rumble

Wrestling with thoughts as I try to stay humble

I'm working hard for dough but that's not how the cookie crumbles

I'm way too down on my luck

Feels like there's no one I trust

To keep momentum going

Wish someone would just give a fuck

At least enough to show me what I'm doing ain't just for nothing

Cause time ticking like a bomb hope I don't self-destruct

[Chorus]

My lord please display a way to save my soul for keeps

I can't be, devastated

Mind can't be, hell a faded

I can't seem to find a way to take this pain from me

Need to be, medicated

Need to be, elevated

[Verse 2]

My brain is exhausted

How many cells will I burn off from the 8th that I bought

Mixed in with drugs can I realize when there's sum a little off

Or will I get lost in the sauce cause I ain't care to talk

Stay complacent cause I'm too scared to walk

By myself so I bring down bystanders to help me get across to where my dreams can Grow

Act like I don't need 'em no more and split as I seem to throw

Them away like disposables (go) like I don't know how karma goes (no)

Surprised when I be all alone (woah)

Committed to these harder roads shy of ending journeys

With the pressure of getting it right as you approach your 30s

The longer the wait becomes the more you ending up hurting less you've given up

And let the world take over your worries

I battle thoughts like that the most

Mind be almost comatose

As I see all but small results where I put my focus my vision going toast

Trying not to burn out, I'm tired

But I don't sleep I guess because I don't want to become a liar no
