[Intro]

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation

Elevation, elevation


[Chorus]

Tired of trials and tribulations

It seems like life is Hell, dream's the only way of escapin'

To worlds that's beyond imagination

I know a place, I could take you there through elevation


[Verse]

Where I come from, young ones pump chums for lump sums

Bustin' guns, trust none, become son

Crews fell from loose shells that propel where I'm dwellin'

Niggas jail, tellin' what you sellin'

My nigga Tone just came home, been in fo' five

The system tried to give him 5 more for gettin' high

Fly Stacy, daddy's little lady fucks crazily

Baby after baby, lost her shape as of lately

Used to spend the quiet nights home, now she likes to roam

Feelin' quite grown, caught in life's cyclone

I was taught by the wise 'apply the knowledge passed'

To advance, learn the science of life and earn the masters

Trapped in the havoc, I'm forced to go the whole

Although it might spell a jail cell and no parole

I fight with the force of Steve Austin

Until my arms can no longer hold off the coffin

In this ghetto heaven, God bless the children

Whose shattered dreams are offered and hard to mend

We don't believe in Heaven, we livin' in Hell

Tryna escape, but fate's sealed in the bomb shell

Feelin' Like Huey Newton with Panther Plots

But high-tech surveillance got my moves on watch

So, I drop jewels, use the music to educate

Can't celebrate 'til we elevate


[Chorus]

Tired of trials and tribulations

It seems like life is Hell, dream's the only way of escapin'

To worlds that's beyond imagination

I know a place, I could take you there through elevation
