Cdraebrown - Elevate Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
Look
We rise up, keep pushin
Elevate, elevate

I'm from a place where dreams get chased or they fall flat
Where every corner got a story, every face got a past
Mama prayed for my safety, always told me I'm blessed
But the city got its demons, and they put me to the test

Started with a dollar, now we talkin' 'bout success
Did it for my people, got no time to second-guess
The pressure made a diamond, man, I shine through the mess
Never settle for the middle, always aiming for the crest

Late nights, no sleep, tryna figure out my fate
Had to learn the hard way, real ones come with weight
Lost a couple friends, but I found a better way
Now they see me comin' up, but I've been up from the gate

Through the rain and the pain, I kept running the race,
Used to dream in the basement, now I'm filling the space
Elevate to the top, ain't no time to waste,
They say sky is the limit, I'm 'bout to orbit the place

Elevate, elevate, ain't no holdin' me down
Gotta hustle every day just to hold my crown
From the ground to the sky, see me takin' my flight
Elevate, elevate, yeah, we reachin' new heights

Started off broke, but my spirit stayed rich
Told myself I gotta grind, I ain't never gon' switch
Seen the fake, seen the real, and I know which is which
Every setback, every loss was just fuel for the pitch

Built a castle from the gravel, man, I learned from the falls
Used to doubt my reflection, now I'm breakin' through walls
Got the city on my back, but I'm answering calls
Told 'em "I'm a different breed," got the courage of Saul

They talkin' 'bout the struggle, but I walk in with pride
Every scar is a story, every pain justified
From the lows to the highs, man, I've been on a ride
Now they see the bigger picture when they look in my eyes

Elevate, celebrate, yeah, I do it for the fam
Took the dreams in my head, put 'em all in the plan
Through the fire, through the storms, still standin' like a man
Elevate, elevate, that's the motto, understand

I've been patient with my growth, now I'm reapin' what's mine
Took my pain and my vision, turned 'em both into rhymes
So when you hear me on this beat, know I'm takin' my time
'Cause I'm built for the journey, every hill I will climb

Elevate, elevate, ain't no holdin' me down
Gotta hustle every day just to hold my crown
From the ground to the sky, see me takin' my flight
Elevate, elevate, yeah, we reachin' new heights

Yeah, we rise, we shine, we breakin' all the chains
Elevate, elevate, we gon' change the game
From the block to the boardroom, we makin' it rain
Elevate, elevate, remember the name
