Elevator
November 2025
Yeah…Uh…Up and down, up and down…
Life feel like an elevator right now…
Life been like an elevator, goin’ up and down the floors,
Sometimes I’m in the clouds, sometimes I’m layin’ on the floor,
Minor wins, major wars, can’t even tell what I’m fightin’ for,?
Peace of mind been a myth, I don’t even chase it anymore.
Feel calm, then full of anger,
Done good, then turned to danger,
Tryna be kind, but I got that rancor,
Pray for my soul like a lone ranger.
Yeah, one in the chamber, thoughts rearranger,
Holdin’ it in, but my mind’s in danger,
Float or sink, I drop the anchor,
Devil on my shoulder lookin’ like a banker.
Can’t buy love, can’t buy favor,
Paper cut deep — root of all evil, traitor,
See their colors, true behavior,
So I turn to a gladiator.
Up and down like elevators, (yeah)
Heart been broke by traitors, (uh)
World on fire, no savior, (no)
Don’t talk to me ‘bout creators. (nah)
Sometimes I pray for changes,
Sometimes I just want danger,
I been losin’ faith in strangers,
Life been dark, but I’m still major.
It left a crater, I barely felt the pain,
Too many kids fallin’ victim to the game,
Too many haters hidin’ faces in the rain,
Everybody chasin’ fame, nobody chasin’ change.
North, South, both sides of the equator,
Rich or poor, now or later,
Life’s either heavy or it’s paper,
But death come fast, and never wavers.
Wild and tame both fade away,
Species dyin’ off every day,
Mother Nature got dues to pay,
She collect ‘em all in her own way.
Stargazin’, trailblazin’,
Cuttin’ through pain, still razor bladin’,
Don’t know why I’m still waitin’,
For peace I might never be claimin’.
Green beam laser or a scar on my wrist,
Feelin’ like fate won’t let me exist,
Still I persist — can’t quit this twist,
Tryna find hope in the abyss.
Up and down like elevators, (yeah)
Heart been broke by traitors, (uh)
World on fire, no savior, (no)
Don’t talk to me ‘bout creators. (nah)
Sometimes I pray for changes,
Sometimes I just want danger,
I been losin’ faith in strangers,
Life been dark, but I’m still major.
Yeah…Still ridin’ that elevator,
Maybe I’ll find peace later,
Maybe I’ll meet my maker…
Maybe…?
