Elevator

(专辑： To See A Sunset - 2023)

Statik Selektah

I'm at the top floor sitting in the cloud
Siping chi, doing yoga with my socks off
I ain't ever with the crowd
All them little people loud
I don't shout
But they listening when I talk
Lot of niggas on the prowl
Lot of bitches on it too
Money getting them aroused
They don't got nothing to lose
It's a mad house
The world sick, there's always something to rap about
I bought property with catalog and cashed out
Now I'm keepin my mind sharp
Straight man, had to learn that everything's my fault
So I've been in Japan just taking some time off
Hold yourself accountable cause nigga I signed off
Chilling in the palm making up for the time lost
All they do is take nigga where is the line drawn?
Hatin from they high horse, call it refined salt
They stealin my vibe and then they sellin the knockoff

The elevator don't go down yea
Too bad I don't got time yea
Well I guess you on your own now yea
It's all up on my side yea
The elevator don't go down yea
I be givin you the peace sign yea
Didn't know, well ya know now yea
Elevation on each sides yea

I don't mind it
All I do is chalk it up to universal timing
Up before the sun see the storm cloud comin
I'm already on the watch, lookin for the silver lining
Everyday I gotta [*breathes*] breathe in
Lot of shit you dealing with is really just a season
Put the bags down, find somethin to believe in
Let it go, they ain't really nothin you should keep in
Exhale, pick up all the pieces yet again
Until you get it together the cycle never ends
I got to bet ahead
I got a better bed
No distractions, my vision tunnel is dead ahead
Devil see you moving with love, he think you better dead
Lately having peace of mind is a better flex
If them people phony it matter less that you get respect
Still had dignity even when I was check to check
Niggas out here playing chess

The elevator don't go down yea
Too bad I don't got time yea
Well I guess you on your own now yea
It's all up on my side yea
The elevator don't go down yea
I be givin you the peace sign yea
Didn't know, well ya know now yea
Elevation on each sides yea

We in the Waldorf Astoria
Everybody gotta take a break, even warriors
Manicures got the tennis court what we betting for?
Got some white nigga frustrated cause it's 40 love
How you trippin with a view of the Black Sea?
Persian Gulf new year, it's shit that was last week
What a time, I do not remember my last drink
All I know is niggas was bugging cause I was mad weak
Now we revel in luxury that we never had
Traded my insecurities for a better bag
Always chilling in foreign places you never at
Bottomless mimosa, they 15 minutes don't ever last
I just sit and laugh
Sitting with the facts
I collect opinions, then I put em in the trash
I got what they lack uh
Never looking back uh
Where I been, you won't even see it on a map

The elevator don't go down yea
Too bad I don't got time yea
Well I guess you on your own now yea
It's all up on my side yea
The elevator don't go down yea
I be givin you the peace sign yea
Didn't know, well ya know now yea
Elevation on each sides yea
