Elevated

JC and I'm fresh on the verse
Yeah, show's on, ain't no time to rehearse
They still surprised every time that I flow
I already told y'all you don't get it
I don't think you really know
They think I'm picture perfect, instagrammable
Too lit, yo I swear they think I'm flammable
But I know what it feels like to feel like your whole life is just a failure
Most of 2017 was like
He put me at the top I act like I'm the bottom
The devil tried to sell me lies
I almost bought em
But just when he thought he could say
Ooh got em
Jesus showed up at the bottom
And turns out He's the rock
Oh my God
No Dwayne
That's insane that He meets me in my pain
Voice like thunder, louder than the rain
I used to just want more fame
For the whole world to know my name
But now I'm content being my Lord's servant like Michael Caine

Ay lift ya hands up high and keep em elevated
Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated
Yeah lift ya hands up high and keep em elevated
Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated

Okay, listen y'all, I ain't tryna start trouble
But see my moms told me black girls ain't gotta be humble
I gotta flex til I get some respek on my check
If I don't, I move on
Shake the dust
Thank u next
But make no mistakes
Because ya girl knows her place
I'll take a seat at the table
And Imma order the steak
Feels like I just need a break
Feels like enough is enough
First they put us in shackles
Now they put us in cuffs
I asked Frizzy could he make a trap beat
I give voice to the things that drag me
And I ain't really worried if I catch heat
The only one I won't disappoint is me
I asked Frizzy could he make a trap beat
And Imma tell the truth if they ask me
Cuz I ain't really worried if I catch heat
Nah I ain't really worried if I catch heat

Sin
Nah that's terminated
Love
Gotta cultivate it
Skin
Ooh that's melanated
Mind
Keep it elevated
Sin
Nah that's terminated
Love
Gotta cultivate it

Ooh that's melanated
Mind
Keep it elevated
Ay lift ya hands up high and keep em elevated
Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated
Yeah lift ya hands up high and keep em elevated
Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated

My parents told me I could be whatever I wanna be
But that was dangerous, now I just wanna be everything
Cuz everything I've ever seen has left me in this disbelief
Like how could I recover this whole broken world of broken dreams?
I have seen anxieties try to get the best of the best of them
And I have seen society try to take the joy from the rest of them
But don't you know that I been prayin for ya?
Yeah it's half time, I'm still pullin for ya
Cuz Jesus said if you love me you gon feed my sheep
So I get it whippin in the kitchen, y'all it's time to feast
Time to eat
Time to treat y'all just like you family
Cuz I can be the strength you need on days when you just feel too weak
I know that I don't always speak
But know that I would take your pain in a heartbeat
I'll hold you down like I'm concrete
Tell the devil get to steppin like a pair of J's
Because my praise is a weapon and I'm throwin fades
I took a step back
I hesitated
Gotta get my mind straight so I meditated
Heard His voice so loud, it resonated
Man, I never stay down cuz I'm motivated
I gotta keep it, yeah, I gotta keep it elevated
I gotta keep it, yeah, I gotta keep it elevated
Runnin, runnin, runnin just as fast as I can
Not uh, they can't catch me slippin
Not uh, they can't catch me trippin
I'm done

Sin
Nah that's terminated

Gotta cultivate it

Nah that's terminated

Gotta cultivate it

Ooh that's melanated

Ay lift ya hands up high and keep em elevated
Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated

Ay pick ya head up high and keep it elevated
