roam coston - elevate lyrics
( hook x2 )
use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
why we elevate
i use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
thats why we elevate
verse 1
i had to change my prescription
‘cause dealing with afflictions
left me with habitual addictions
mind over matter
this a matter of the mind
nerves all jacked, dog
thats a matter of the spine
back against the wall
just a matter of some time
before the crash-out come
and i’m praying for my life
wise men stay quiet
learn and you hustle
listen more than you talk
demons will disrupt you
spirit too dark for that beam of light to touch you
blinded by this world, so deep
it will cut you
boxed by the pain before you
laying in a coffin
children of the sun, light
blocked by these dungeons
chopping down wisdom
real life paul bunyans
searching for some answers
in these concrete jungles
instinctual perceptions
i’m adapting to the streets
laying at the beach
harmonizing with the breeze
( hook x2 )
i use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
why we elevate
i use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
that’s why we elevate
verse 2
a couple years ago
calls after call
funerals lined up like
n-ggas at the mall for some sneakers
i gotta make a play like its 4th and some meters
cuz my family stressed
and the opps not sleeping
when i speak of opposition
i ain’t talking about my brothers
im talking bout the towers that
illuminate the suffering
copper plated shields
dopplers made for flooding
i feel my roots grow like c-ssava in the stomach
had a gut feeling from the start
it was funny
way before poison and this love
for this money
children in the park
playing hide from the reaper
30 out the clip now she lying near the swing
if kids are the future and need life to breathe
and elders are the wisdom
that’s symbolic of a tree
the wood you chopped down
that enabled us to read
was only a distraction from the
stories that we need
hook x2 )
i use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
why we elevate
i use to want a loft
until i went aloft
took the ceiling out my thoughts
took a plane abroad
stressing over things that i couldn’t change
so many thoughts in my brain
that’s why we elevate
verse 3 ( poem )
i’ll touch every continent
speak languages i never knew existed
i’ll eat foods and drink from natural springs
learning of cultures
protected for thousands of years
i’ll see generations of lessons
woven into villages
explained by elders near a fire
under the moon
i’ll respect the unknown
listening to trials of people
i thought had no voice
i’ll count the clouds while
gliding over miles of ocean
expanding my mind and relaxing my humility
finding treasure in secluded places
seeing faces that change my perspective
gifting me with the power of love
as i escape the love for power
verse 4 (poem)
these waves of infinity touching land
rocks washed and covered with sand
you see the sun brings warmth to the ocean
m-ssaging the soles of those whose souls
are cold from no console
inhales of afrikan dust
unclog p-ssages
making paths again
see imagine vigorous villages
of youth who listen to
old men with grey beards
cl-sses that require intuition and no tuition
the understanding of wars
writing, arithmetic, reading, and science
tribes disagree but know the needs of alliance
