[Verse 1]
Every day’s a puzzle, tryna find my way,
Bills keep stackin’, people got somethin’ to say.
But I don’t let it shake me, I just take my time,
Find a different angle, gotta clear my mind.
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it’s music, sometimes it’s prayer,
Sometimes I light one up, let the smoke fill the air.
Doesn’t matter the method, long as I find,
Peace in the moment, and love in my life.
[Chorus]
I keep an elevated state of mind,
Leave the negativity far behind.
Smoke it out, breathe it out, let it all unwind,
I’m appreciating life, one step at a time.
[Verse 2]
Traffic on the freeway, arguments at home,
Feels like the world won’t leave me alone.
But then I see the sunrise, and I realize,
The little things are blessings, right before my eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Could be a smile, or a cool summer breeze,
Could be that green rollin’ easy with ease.
Doesn’t matter the struggle, I still find,
A silver lining shining, peace of mind.
[Chorus]
I keep an elevated state of mind,
Leave the negativity far behind.
Smoke it out, breathe it out, let it all unwind,
I’m appreciating life, one step at a time.

[Verse 3 – Extended]
Hard nights, low lights, voices in my head,
Tryna pull me under, tryna fill me with dread.
But I rise above, yeah I break that chain,
I turn my struggle into joy, my loss into gain.
[Breakdown]
Sip a little something, vibe with the crew,
Talk about the dreams we’re chasing, what we’re gonna do.
From the block to the stars, we gon’ redefine,
Nothing gonna break this elevated mind.
[Chorus – Longer]
I keep an elevated state of mind (elevated),
Leave the negativity far behind (so far behind).
Smoke it out, breathe it out, let it all unwind,
I’m appreciating life, one step at a time.
[Outro – Extended]
One step at a time…
One breath at a time…
Elevated… elevated… mind.
Yeah, we rise, we shine…
Elevated… every time.
