Quiet Elevation

Elevation isn’t loud, it’s lonely

Quiet wins don’t need no trophy

I been praying with my head down

Building strength where they don’t see me

Ain’t no cheers when you leveling up

Just discipline, faith, and showing up

They only clap when you touching the clouds

But elevation isn’t loud

⸻

I been fixing parts of me I never posted

Smiling through scars, yeah, I been focused

Everybody want results, skip the process

I was learning how to breathe when my hope left

I don’t move fast, I move certain

Pressure on me but my soul ain’t hurting

I been choosing growth over being right

Some nights I cry, still stand upright

Had to unlearn survival habits

Pain taught lessons, I took notes, made habits

They don’t know how heavy silence get

When you healing but you still ain’t rich yet

⸻

I ain’t chasing praise, I’m chasing peace

Trying to be better than the man I was last week

If nobody claps, I still climb

God saw the work, I’m still fine

⸻

Elevation isn’t loud, it’s lonely

Quiet wins don’t need no trophy

I been praying with my head down

Building strength where they don’t see me

Ain’t no cheers when you leveling up

Just discipline, faith, and showing up

They only clap when you touching the clouds

But elevation isn’t loud

⸻

I ain’t bitter, I’m just honest

I forgave ‘em, still kept distance

Some bridges burn ‘cause they was rotting

Not every loss is something missing

I been breaking cycles in my bloodline

Trying not to pass pain to the kids of mine

If I fall, I fall forward, no rewind

I don’t need validation, I got God time
