Elevator

[00:19.00] (Statik Selektah)
[00:22.34] I'm at the top floor, sittin' in the cloud
[00:24.72] Sippin' chi, doing yoga with my socks off
[00:27.67] I ain't ever with the crowd, all them little people loud
[00:30.41] I don't shout, but they listenin' when I talk
[00:33.03] Lot of niggas on the prowl, lot of bitches on it too
[00:35.82] Money gettin' them aroused, they don't got nothin' to lose, it's a mad house
[00:39.73] The world sick, there's always something to rap about
[00:42.21] I bought property with catalog and cashed out
[00:44.94] Now I'm keepin' my mind sharp, straight man
[00:47.78] Had to learn that everything's my fault
[00:49.50] So I've been in Japan, just takin' some time off
[00:52.38] Hold yourself accountable, 'cause nigga I signed off
[00:55.18] Chillin' in the palm, makin' up for the time lost
[00:57.65] All they do is take nigga, where is the line drawn?
[01:00.54] Hatin' from they high horse, call it refined salt
[01:03.39] They stealin' my vibe and then they sellin' the knockoff
[01:05.64] The elevator don't go down, yeah
[01:08.61] Too bad I don't got time, yeah
[01:11.19] Well, I guess you on your own now, yeah
[01:13.65] It's all up on my side, yeah

[01:19.22] I be giving you the peace sign, yeah
[01:21.84] Didn't know, well, ya know now, yeah
[01:24.58] Elevation on each sides, yeah
[01:28.34] I don't mind it
[01:29.38] All I do is chalk it up to universal timin'
[01:31.94] Up before the sun see the storm cloud comin'
[01:34.64] I'm already on the watch, lookin' for the silver linin'
[01:37.09] Every day, I gotta (I gotta) breathe in
[01:39.59] Lot of shit you dealin' with is really just a season
[01:42.15] Put the bags down, find somethin' to believe in
[01:44.74] Let it go, they ain't really nothin' you should keep in
[01:47.61] Exhale, pick up all the pieces yet again
[01:50.43] Until you get it together, the cycle never ends
[01:53.46] I got to bet ahead, I got a better bed
[01:55.85] No distractions, my vision tunnel is dead ahead
[01:58.55] Devil see you movin' with love, he think you better dead
[02:01.60] Lately, havin' peace of mind is a better flex
[02:04.26] If them people phony, it matter less that you get respect
[02:06.80] Still had dignity even when I was check to check
[02:09.49] Niggas out here playin' chess

[02:35.42] Everybody gotta take a break, even warriors
[02:37.96] Manicures got the tennis court, what we bettin' for?
[02:40.88] Got some white nigga frustrated 'cause it's 40 love
[02:43.66] How you trippin' with a view of the Black Sea?
[02:46.25] Persian Gulf new year, it's shit that was last week
[02:49.23] What a time, I do not remember my last drink
[02:51.64] All I know is niggas was buggin' 'cause I was mad weak
[02:54.70] Now we revel in luxury that we never had
[02:57.38] Traded my insecurities for a better bag
[03:00.24] Always chillin' in foreign places you never at
[03:02.79] Bottomless mimosa, they 15 minutes don't ever last
[03:05.53] I just sit and laugh, sittin' with the facts
[03:08.18] I collect opinions, then I put 'em in the trash
[03:11.31] I got what they lack, uh, never lookin' back, uh
[03:13.96] Where I been, you won't even see it on a map, uh
