elevate by sharkey ocean grown OG

Yeah, I’m tryna elevate my name, no shortcuts in my lane, Been down bad in the storm, now I’m walkin’ out the rain. Every loss made me strong, every wrong made me change, Now I’m focused on my purpose, lettin’ blessings rearrange. (Verse 1) I’ve been quiet with my moves, let the progress do the talkin’, Had to step away from people who would clap but never honest. I was fightin’ through the nights when my mind felt like a riot, Now I’m peaceful in my spirit ‘cause I learned to keep it private. I remember cold floors, dollar short, tryna hustle, Now I’m building up my future, brick by brick, muscle by muscle. Ain’t no braggin’ ‘til it’s real — learned the hard way in the struggle, ‘Cause the moment that you boast, life gon’ hit you with the shuffle. (Hook) Yeah, I’m tryna elevate my name, no shortcuts in my lane, Been down bad in the storm, now I’m walkin’ out the rain. Every loss made me strong, every wrong made me change, Now I’m focused on my purpose, lettin’ blessings rearrange. (Verse 2) I ain’t chasin’ validation, just the peace I never had, Tryna be a better man, not the person from my past. Used to act before I’d think, used to break before I’d build, Now I’m movin’ like I’m chosen, every step is God’s will. Got that hunger in my chest, elevation on my mind, I’m not lookin’ for the old days — I done left that all behind. Had to silence every demon whisperin’ I’d never rise, Now I stare ‘em in they face with fire burnin’ in my eyes. (Hook) Yeah, I’m tryna elevate my name, no shortcuts in my lane, Been down bad in the storm, now I’m walkin’ out the rain. Every loss made me strong, every wrong made me change, Now I’m focused on my purpose, lettin’ blessings rearrange.
