Hellevator Freefall

I came up with a cut palm grip

Same old chain, but the lock got slick

Mama said, "Boy, don't you fold that lip"

So I bit my tongue when the rent went stiff

Ash on my sleeve, but I kept that flame

Cold in the chest, still I said my name

They want me small, want me boxed and tame

I step in the room and the roof start shake

Free in my head, but my hands stay tense

River in my veins, got a wild defense

Burn on the floor where the fear got spent

I was lost in the dark, now I want my wind

Door shut hard, hear the whole thing rattle

One more breath, then I jump that battle

Hands up high when the walls start narrow

Say it like a prayer when the night gets shallow

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Watch me rise, watch me learn

Hood on the corner, I was split in two

One foot in the dirt, one foot in the truth

Said I might break, but I bent right through

Kept my name in my mouth like a bulletproof clue

Now the scars on my back look like road maps

Every bad turn made a strong man

I don't need luck, I need both hands

I don't need sleep, I got smoke plans

If I sink, let it sink in gold

If I speak, let the whole block know

I was built from the crack and the afterglow

Now I climb out clean through the aftershock

Door shut hard, hear the whole thing rattle

One more breath, then I jump that battle

Hands up high when the walls start narrow

Say it like a prayer when the night gets shallow

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Watch me rise, watch me learn

I seen the bottom, I seen the crack

I seen the ones that don't make it back

But my name stay loud in the teeth of black

And the whole world moves when I step on track

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn

Free, river, burn

Watch me rise, watch me learn

Free, river, burn

Hellevator turn
