Intro:
Zion I crew. Amp Live, DJ KG, Zion. We're love and peace

[Verse 1]
The metaphorical, mathematical word science 
Lyrical compounds react plus minus
Earth's finest, I represented on Venus
Girl gotta be pregnant so now she got my fears
Good God Jesus
Let me lace up my Adidas 
My crew spread like AIDS you just can't see us
Subterranean, memories keep on fadin' in
Of when I was a king in Medittereanian
Landscapes greet time for  ? 
And chill while rain drops splatter on glass lakes
Reactions powerful poetic fraction
Let's grip and leave trails like acid trips 
I diagnose
If you need a larger dose
Flows that pharaoh knows will leave you comatose
Like Nesa, the pyramid rhyme pleaser
I verbalize with the wild type demeanor
And speak wit 
Archaic souls of the O 
Times when our minds use to shine beautiful 

[Hook]
It's like begin, world spin, then 
You fly we fly in 
Time is comin' 
Ill I still will chill feels 
Like blessin' 
Rockin' not top charts hip hop plots 
Tick tock clock domes stop 
I still will chill feel

I just need some elevation (echo)

[Verse 2]
Yo, yo bust it 
The spirit warrior I creep up in your mind corridor 
And tell my name leave your stain in euphoria
Type color brothers cloaked in camouflages 
I'm rugged and tough like them old school Dodgers
With the meaning like mesonic lodges 
And even though we divine remain monstrous 
So who your God is 
Yo I'm just an artist 
Walk with a torch navigate though the forests
Lookin' for sanctuary the legendary 
The tree of life I'm my only adversary
And who we friend is a pen I begin 
Creatin' conversation no time to play pretend
? most high we all gotta die 
I'll take the higher path cause it's only I-N-I
Though money's like tryin' to fly without a sky 
It makes me ask the question what's the reason why?

Hook

Need some more elevation. I need some elevation. Give me elevation.

[Verse 3]
I always plan to win, when I enter into something
The Zion I crew keep your spirit jumpin'
The mic is plugged in turn table set
Commence to bombin' like a Vietnam vet
My dialect is set to erect
Palace 
When I can sip upon a chalice 
And reminisce upon the sweetness of this 
Experience my inner world total bliss
I will image a realm without the dragon (say what?)
I be designed to keep your dream laggin' 
And deferred
My word is heard 
To consume the room like clouds of herb
We bless your chest with the ill introspection
And manifest use your spirit as a weapon
