…[Verse 1: Jean Grae]
Whispering rain awoke me. The curtains drifting slowly
The hint of dusk and twilight, gray sky, daylight…
Just me calling out
Into the deadened air. Panicking, getting no response
Trembling. Tripping down the stoop, searching…
…and lost it
Woke up in pure darkness, thinking it was over
Under a blanket or scarf, the rain beating heavy. Head bloody
God, kill me…

…[Verse 1: Jean Grae]
Whispering rain awoke me. The curtains drifting slowly
The hint of dusk and twilight, gray sky, daylight…
Just me calling out
Into the deadened air. Panicking, getting no response
Trembling. Tripping down the stoop, searching…
…and lost it
Woke up in pure darkness, thinking it was over
Under a blanket or scarf, the rain beating heavy. Head bloody
God, kill me…

Just me calling out
Into the deadened air. Panicking, getting no response
Trembling. Tripping down the stoop, searching…

As the light is leaving, silently retreating down an empty hall
[Verse 3: Jean Grae]
Whispering rain awoke me…

Let your worlds break me down, every time you remise
And every time I pretend it down exist
Hook (Repeat)
Verse Three
I ain't…
…or maybe you out of love
Maybe I'm too possessive and always thinking of death
Possibly all the quil that's slowing down all my blood…
…was you, a person to keep me whole
You own my heart and my soul
I remember us in high school always driving you home
I…
The dollars jumpin in my bin
I add some some lime in that glass
The kid's money about to get loose
You can call me zeus cause I'm just about…
…saying he was gonna rip off my skin
“I'm just trying to make it rain”
I make the glasses spin
Turn em around make em feel…
…the pain
Dollar dollar where you been?
You soaring on that plane
Went straight out of my wallet and into that trash bin
Slowing down…

…as honest
This is kinda strange
As my brain works
Its so complicated
But I feel no pain
Nerve shot down
Nobody make a sound
Thought bubble cloud
I'm so…
…close to the end now and I mean no death homie and you can blow me
You think I'm slowing
Because of darkness
I'm just going…
…no pain you ain't stopping me
I'm driving in everyone's lane
Picking up my verses everyday
Trying to best myself
Cause I feel…

There are kids, lots of kids, who put the law inside a circle
As they jump, I hope that you will up and down, up and down
When…
…did you cave into this role that you were cast in
When did dress-up turn to fashion, throw your gown up and down
There's always…
…on cold streets
Here's a shell to hear their heartbeats very loud, very loud
Where's the pain, it's only rain, it's only slowing down…

…to ease the pain
This shit will get you surfing
I put it all on the line
Lord please protect me I been down
Need strength keep on thuggin
Didn't…
…the bands driving the Bentley i'm blue
Bitch was pushing u around when i come around she gon stick to me like I'm glue
Your nigga…
…stuck like a deuce(Lg5 on tha fkx map)
A'int no (slowing down) on twenty twenty
We trying to get wealthy
And really stay healthy…

…[Intro]
[Verse]
Thinking about how far I've come, how far I'm going
Speeding on the road to riches, no I'm never slowing
I…
…in the morning like "fuck I shouldn't have done it"
You know that feeling you get deep down in your stomach when you know you wrong…
…just that as I'm writing I realise why I stress
Over shit that's major to me that hold such minor importance
Like driving…

Chorus:
Elevate (x6)
Verse 1:
Every time somebody follow they heart
And build an ark
They don't wanna believe until the rain…
You can't hate the hate cause that be pulling you down and you know I gotta float bro
What you think i made a boat for?
Thats what…
…a myriad of pathways. Before you even get halfway. Now you're living with the mad face, and that's slowing you down like parachutes…

…(Wilko Johnson)
KEY: Amaj
Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since…
…through the city
See you in the morning down by the Jetty
Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks…
…the afternoon away
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear…

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get…
…in the morning down by the Jetty
Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying…
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail…

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get…
…in the morning down by the Jetty
Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying…
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail…

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get…
…in the morning down by the Jetty
Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying…
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail…

…the competition
Exhibition
It's not him, it's his nutrition
It's not me, it's my ambition
I guess it's human condition
God…
…or not gave me a mission
But I'm missing
The feeling
Of happiness when you complete it
Have I been defeated?
Have I
Been defeated…
…was a river
But you slowing, slowing like a broken liver
I know you, undergoing something else that's bigger
But I cannot forgive her
You made me angry…
