Elevate

Mmm...

Can’t stay where I was.

Can’t be who I’ve been.

Gotta rise.

They told me "wait," I said “why?”

Time don’t pause, and dreams don’t lie

I looked around—same old scene

But I knew I was made for more than routine

Woke up tired, heart half-full

But every breath said “you’re not dull”

So I took that voice and made it flame

Said, “I’m done playin’ the quiet game”

Elevate—don’t run, don’t hide

Build your worth from the pain inside

They can doubt, they can laugh

But this road is still your path

Grow your roots, stretch your light

That’s how you make it through the night

Elevate—rise and redefine

You’re not just here to fall in line

You’re not a number, not a name tag

Not a cog in a culture that loves your drag

You’ve got skills, heart, voice, and fire

Don’t dim down—aim higher

Learn your value, shape your pace

Don’t let shame erase your grace

Every book you read, every skill you build

Is armor forged by the life you willed

Maybe they won’t clap, maybe they won’t see

But that don’t stop what you’re meant to be

You’re not less just ‘cause they’re loud

You rise quiet and rise proud

Elevate—don’t run, don’t hide

Build your worth from the pain inside

They can doubt, they can sneer

But your tomorrow’s getting clear

Brick by brick, skill by skill

Climb that silence, bend your will

Elevate—this ain’t pretend

It’s the only way you live, not just "end"

Not waiting for the world to choose me.

I’m building who I am—daily.

‘Cause the only way out...

Is up.
