Lyrics Soul Tap - ReachingNOVA

Back to feeling like I'm the best
Roll me a Sativa whenever I'm under stress
Champagne or it's wine whenever I'm overdressed
You're destined for decline if it's me you tryna finesse
Tryna reach my mother she don't respond to my text
It's hard to know you're loved while reclusive when you're depressed
So I gotta pull up on her to steer her away from death
As I balance out survival and paying bills with a check
Man, s be stressful I swear
What be adding on to stress could be the fact that I care
But I'm glad my momma told me s like "Life isn't Fair"
And every time before I left the house she said "Be Aware"
Two albums deep, I'm coming through with a third
Swear I'm bout to hit you heavy with a movement of words
Nova always been a Shepard I ain't moving in herds
And I never wear a mask when I'm pursuing a purge
It's authentic boy

As far as I know it, it's one life
I done seen Nightmare's turn into Sunshine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
Praying for the world, cus we're living in dark times
The climb from the bottom more or less is a long ride
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna elevate

Take a look around I see what man is doing with earth
They don't care about the land they only care for it's worth
Smog hugging on the skies, ice melting away
The Priest tryna lead the church, souls going astray
Ts'why I'm focused on these plays maintaining a pace
You either go and flip ideas or maintain in the race
Look alive, Cus your eyes, say you're losing your faith
Put your hope into a system that don't want us awake
It's all designed around oppression they just want us to break
Physically there's an escape but this is mentally played
Households with low income, neighborhoods aren't safe
Povish lifestyle Young seeds growing with rage
You know the streets had taught us young that we should roll with the pain
Hold it in so long you cry that s'll fall like the rain
Drove around my old block I saw it all was the same
Couple old faces nothing really had changed
Be Aware

As far as I know it, it's one life
I done seen Nightmare's turn into Sunshine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
Praying for the world, cus we're living in dark times
The climb from the bottom more or less a long ride
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna elevate

Moving forward, now I'm turning the page
'Fore I step into the world I buss a prayer while I'm burning a sage
Learn yourself, cus this world will try tell you behave
But the world ain't gon' lie with you inside of that grave
And that's a guarantee
This ain't a movie no Quentin Tarint
No, after death ain't no sequel well I mean physically
Anyway, I'll be creating and always get it
Cus when I'm dead and gone all that stress gon' be worth the headaches
Document it all so the linage could stay connected
Until I'm dead and gone in my people I stay invested
If you never try to play me I got your back, that's no question
And it's never personal I ain't living with all that tension
Now we're living in a world where like everyone wants attention
People on the sideline who always have a suggestion
I'm the type who only gotta fall once when I learn a lesson
I don't know why we're here I imagine we're being tested

As far as I know it, it's one life
I done seen Nightmare's turn into Sunshine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
Praying for the world, cus we're living in dark times
The climb from the bottom more or less a long ride
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
I just wanna Elevaaate and love mine
