lyrics

[Hook:]

Elevate
Levitate yo' mind
Leave the past behind
Concentrate
You can't...take a break

Just...gotta
Elevate
Levitate yo mind
Concentrate
Leave the past behind
Take a break? Nah
I'm out Being great....
Always on the grind

Did I waste too much time
Playing chess making moves tryna flex?
Danny Glover said it best it's because the Internet

[Verse 1:]

But that's just my generation
IPhones and inflation
She's known wasted
I see you copy and pasted
The light shines on me
Wake up originated
I done came so far
Thank God I made it

[Bridge:]

Still going still striving
Car totaled still driving
You always make a way
Me? I just make the play

I want more outta life
Nah, This ain't a fight
I Got love for you
But you dimming my light
I need good energy
Let's make memories
You better
Act like care for me
Or we can be enemies

[Verse 2:]

Still dodging friends
Gotta put moms in a benz
Cause she deserves it
All these years of working
I'm a secure the bag
The Chanel's the Birkin's
I see you on your way
Vibe and soul searching
Everday's my day to
Swipe it and purchase
Make it rain....away
Read chips like merchants

[Hook:]

Elevate
Levitate yo mind
Leave the past behind
Concentrate
You can't...take a break

Just gotta
Elevate
Levitate my mind
Concentrate
Leave the past behind
Take a break? Nah
I'm out being great....
Always on the grind

Did I waste too much time
Playing chess
Making moves
Tryna flex?

Danny Glover said it best it's because the Internet
