dimèji - elevate lyrics

[intro: dimeji]
one time for my n-ggas wey dey steady high
doing whatever while time is just getting by
getting no cheddar, life is such a scary site
that will terrify anybody even maybe i
elevate, elevate, real sh-t homie

[chorus: dimeji]
elevate
gotta elevate
elevate

[verse 1: dimeji]
same clothes, different bodies
all the baskets, one lorry
and everybody is asking why i’m rapping about the same story
on the news is nothing new so let me tell the truth
and if you can relate, then maybe we can elevate the youth
maybe future generations wouldn’t need the generator
maybe senators would be serving us so we get the paper
but who knows why life is like ludo
and everyone you know trying to be numero uno
singing ye ye ye
man e don tey tey tey
we trying to get this pay
but no hope so we just pray
speaking to various sisters you learn that life is bitter
growing up she asked her daddy why he got to be a mama beater
life is twice as tough for all the ladies in nigeria
enough rape cases swept under the rug in your area
sometimes we educate and some days we elevate
so maybe one day we could all chill and celebrate like

[chorus: dimeji]
elevate, elevate
gotta elevate
elevate, elevate

[verse 2: dimeji]
one time for my dark skin melanin queens
or light skinned it don’t matter, slay mama, yas queen
one time for my people
all the kids, super eagles
all professions engineering medicine or paralegal
technicians, electricians, teachers that just listen
for all brave people fighting the evil oppositions
even politicians yeah we just want you to be better
put the bread up in the streets, feels better breaking cheddar
you can’t really be rich if everyone around you poor
you can’t be at peace if everywhere around you war
that the truth, that’s the story
that the guts, that’s the glory
revolution, that’s the movement
no room in the prison then there’s room for improvement
this the life, this the mission
put more funds in academic research and education
the kids up in your streets be the reason they celebrate
you know we rise by lifting others that’s the way we elevate yeah

[chorus: dimeji]
elevate
gotta elevate
elevate

[bridge]
our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
it’s our light, not our darkness that most frightens us
your playing small does not serve the world
there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you
and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
we are all meant to shine as children do

[verse 3: lekadot]
at age twelve, amina tin doko
muniru naa tin naa poran si omo iya onikoko
jungle ti mature bolaji ti balaga
ohun naa tife mase runs pelu omo iya oniparaga
igboro tisoro, awon temi gan ti kolo
r.i.p dagrin ma j’okun koma j’ekolo
shout out s’awon eruku tigboro sowon di hustler
won ready lati s’anything kolowo kode tun popular
tori owo won le f’ak 47 yo!
hun! boya lawon eleyi l’heaven lo
toba ka e mo koro anaye tete respond
level towa lowo awon eleyi leju ti james bond
oju agbamin’ naija toba mowe ko bosi
you wan write your name on stone? gba biro ko kosi
mio tide ibi kan kan laiye mi so f-ck feeling bossy
mo shin hustle kowope kowo mi kun bi aya cossy
but ijoba wa gan o favor wa
an sise aori ere lori labor wa
ewo nkan to se si naira pelu kobo wa
atun ma dibo awon oloshi kan tun malo gbebowa
