Elevator Imagination Gone Wrong

[Intro] Yeah… Grind Univ… we think it… it happens… right? Well… not always how you planned it… [Verse 1] Stepped in the elevator, late for work, tie crooked Hit the button, sighed like “man today already cooked” Doors ’bout to close, I’m hopin’ for a blessing Like maybe a fine woman slide in—no stressin’ I’m talkin’ movie scene, slow motion hair blowin’ Soft perfume trail, confidence just flowin’ I’m like “yeah… that’s the energy I need today” Doors closed… nobody came… okay… Then I thought, “Hold up… what if I got powers? Like whatever I imagine manifests in hours?” So I smirked… leaned back… started visualizin’ A queen walkin’ in—perfect timing, surprisin’ [Hook] My mind said “dream it,” life said “watch this” But I ain’t read the fine print—plot twist! From fantasy love to a situation wild Elevator dreams got me lookin’ like a child Yeah I thought I was him, had control of the scene But imagination ain’t always what it seem I said “make it perfect,” universe said “okay…” Just not the version goin’ on in my brain [Verse 2] So boom—next second, I imagine she appear Door open again—yeah, I swear I felt it near Then I’m like nah… let’s turn it up a level Elevator stops—little shake, little tremble Lights flicker twice, I’m like “yeah this cinematic!” Now we stuck together—romantic, automatic She gets nervous, heartbeat start racin’ Grabs on my arm like “sir… what we facin’?” I’m like “don’t worry, I got you, just breathe” Whole time I’m smilin’ like “this meant to be” Now I’m picturin’ dates—walks in the park Ice cream drippin’, talkin’ deep after dark Then it escalates—yeah I’m goin’ too far Now I see a wedding, I’m in suit, she in white, oh my God We got a house with a fence, two kids in the yard Dog runnin’ circles, life lookin’ hard—but it’s ours Saturday mornings, cartoons on blast Arguin’ ’bout bills but we laugh right after that Family photos hangin’, holidays lit I’m like “this imagination thing legit!” [Hook] My mind said “dream it,” life said “watch this” But I ain’t read the fine print—plot twist! From fantasy love to a situation wild Elevator dreams got me lookin’ like a child Yeah I thought I was him, had control of the scene But imagination ain’t always what it seem I said “make it perfect,” universe said “okay…” Just not the version goin’ on in my brain [Verse 3] Now we older in my vision, sittin’ side by side She lookin’ in my eyes with that forever type vibe I’m like “this it… this the moment right here” She lean in slow, yeah the kiss gettin’ near Soft music playin’ in my head, violins I’m like “wow… I really manifested a win” I close my eyes… lean forward with grace… DING! Elevator jerks—back to reality space I open my eyes… hold up… wait… nah… Wrinkles… grey hair… cardigan with a paw? This ain’t the dream… this ain’t the scene… Why she smell like peppermint and Bengay cream?! She clutchin’ my shirt like “young man, don’t fall!” I’m frozen like a statue, back against the wall She lookin’ up like “you saved me just now…” I’m like “ma’am… respectfully… how??” She puckered her lips… yeah I seen it clear My soul left my body, I disappeared I hit every button like “we gotta go!” She said “don’t rush it baby…” I said “NOOO!” [Outro] Moral of the story… be careful what you think Your imagination might push you to the brink I wanted a queen, got wisdom instead Now I take the stairs—yeah that’s what I said Grind Univ… we manifest… but we gotta be specific Or life get real… real… different
