1.	The Rise 01:12	lyrics	buy track
I've been searching for a way. Done everything I can, short of droppin' down to say I've prayed. I've been everywhere in a day. And when I hit the bottom, when I know I've hit the bottom, I elevate.
2.	Elevate (ft. David Dalla G) 04:21	lyrics	buy track
It's so exciting. My life is just igniting. Calm down now. No fighting. I'm getting more attention than a big foot sighting. It's insane, these haters are irrelevant, I play the drums when I am sleeping, do it for the hell of it. Relative, I rock these too, guitar, piano, timbuck two, Bass, mix, DJ too, 2000's I spin those through. Anywho, listen here I got this good shit for your ear Play it loud for all to hear And watch this music bust your fears. Kids wanna make you feel like shit? Screw those cats, I'm over it. White as snow, go-go girl, Take my hand we rule the world. Elevate, there's nowhere to hide. Elevate, strength remains inside. Elevate, can't hurt to try. Elevate your mind. I put my dreams into rap and my team's got my back and I'm sure that it's the real thing Elevate the track, yeah Did it in a snap, my style, like chyea When I'm talking to an audience They quick to react. I'm circlin the nav Just wandering cat I want to capture the world And i wanna give it back. Where the peace at? And the party too? But we'll all get that When we all break through. So what you wanna do? Just sit back and wait? Well you better make way cause I came to create. Not blame but debate, Work our way to a better place Let's elevate, yup, Let's celebrate. Elevate, there's nowhere to hide. Elevate, strength remains inside. Elevate, can't hurt to try. Elevate your mind. You think it's good now? Just wait til it's great. I'm overloading my plate. Not it's not a mistake Because i plan to eat more than anyone ever ate. Elevate's a mindstate I'm displayin' the traits And while they hate, They ain't really got nothin' to say And rap life doesn't pay. But neither does a lie So i'm livin and upliftin' til the day that I do I gotta try, gotta do it, gotta be that guy. To survive I gotta elevate as many lives in As short of time, I'm losin' my mind And I'm grindin' it out, this is what I'm about. I'm elevatin' every time that i open my mouth. Elevate, there's nowhere to hide. Elevate, strength remains inside. Elevate, can't hurt to try. Elevate your mind.
3.	Realize 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Do you realize? The other day was a long one. I picked a day to be the wrong one. I was feelin' pretty down on myself Watched the world moving by while I sat on the shelf I'm a threat to mental health I've embarrassed myself. I'll just get a 9-5 and bore myself into wealth No more lyrics, no more songs Everything I love is gone, In the passenger seat I contemplate all my wrongs. The list goes on and on, I started to cry Releasing all the disappointment that I'm hoarding inside I'm not good enough. And I'll never be. These thoughts are circulating in my mind constantly. I'm all messed up, a little scared. What if my life is just a waste of someone else's air? But then I stop. And I remember. There is a purpose for this baby from December. (Lyrics written by The Flaming Lips) Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize that we're floating in space? Do you realize happiness makes you cry? Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? I don't wanna show love no more Without a winning hand. I don't wanna show love no more Baby, you know I can't. I don't wanna show love no more Without a winning hand. I don't wanna show love no more Baby, you know I can't. How can I find a solution? There has got to be an answer for confusion. I was invincible. Now I'm invisible. I can't believe my whole mentality's so cynical. This is critical. Isn't it pitiful? Pivotal, I put myself up on a pedestal. Not of pride. Of expectation. Raising standards of my very own creation. Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize that we're floating in space? Do you realize happiness makes you cry? Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?

Whoa, it's finally over. After spending 362 hours in my studio over the course of two months, Elevate is done. A big shout out to everyone involved, Kudo, Vision the Kid, and David Dalla G, you were all amazing, thank you for doing you, I know people will love it. To my roommates, who listened to my KRK's blasting from the basement every single day for the past 5 months until the wee hours... thank you. To the people who pissed me off during this endeavor, to those who didn't support, who didn't care... thank you. I needed something to write about. To everyone who has attended one of my shows and yelled my lyrics louder than me... thank you. To all of you, thank you. I sincerely hope you enjoy my baby.
