Elevate ft. Bray Cole Lyrics

I came from nothing but the dreams were vivid

Painted pictures in my mind now I'm tryna live it.

Mama said "Boy stay humble keep your soul clean"

But it's hard when the world's selling fake dreams.

I've been chasing purpose dodging fame's glow

Trying to plant seeds watch my people grow.

They tell me "Cole the path you walk is rare"

I'm just building bridges hope the lost get there.

And if I fall who gon' catch me when I'm down low?

Still I rise every scar tells a story though.

Pressure on my shoulders but I bear the weight

Turn the pain into power watch me elevate.

I've seen friends turn ghost chasing after clout

Seen love fade quick when the money's out.

But I'm steady my foundation's built from the struggle

Every loss taught me lessons every win taught me hustle.

They want the shine but don't want the rain

Want the glory but don't feel the pain.

I pen my truth let it echo through the streets

For the kids like me tryna find their feet.

And if I fall who gon' catch me when I'm down low?

Still I rise every scar tells a story though.

Pressure on my shoulders but I bear the weight

Turn the pain into power watch me elevate.

Man I'm living proof it's not where you start

It's how you keep the fire burning in your heart.

They can doubt they can hate they can close the gate

But the real always rise yeah it's never too late.

So if you hear this know you ain't alone

We all searching for a place to call home.

Life's a test but I'm passing every grade

Jotting verses for the future while I pave the way.
