Elevator Pitch to the Sky
by Dre Santos
“Everybody has a pitch they rehearse in the mirror, and mine just happens to be a rap. I wrote it for anyone walking into the lobby believing the next floor is theirs.”

Lyrics
Lobby at seven, badge on my chest Coffee in my left hand, hope in my vest Doors slide open, it's a steel little stage Thirty seconds flat to turn the page Button says forty, I press it with pride Mirror on the wall, I'm checking my stride Suit from the thrift but it fits like a dream Rehearsing my line like I'm leading the team Floor by floor, my heartbeat climbs Every little ding is a countdown chime Going up, going up, make it count Thirty seconds, tell them what it's about Elevator pitch to the sky Doors wide open, watch me fly Going up, going up, don't slow Bring your dreams, let the whole world know Elevator pitch to the sky Ride it higher, ride it high Stranger steps in with a briefcase and a grin Says, "Big day?" and I say, "Let it begin" We trade a nod on the twelfth floor stop Small talk sweet like a corner shop Somebody's late and somebody's scared Somebody's humming, somebody's prepared We all got a story in this metal frame Different floors, but we're climbing the same Floor by floor, my heartbeat climbs Every little ding is a countdown chime Going up, going up, make it count Thirty seconds, tell them what it's about Elevator pitch to the sky Doors wide open, watch me fly Going up, going up, don't slow Bring your dreams, let the whole world know Elevator pitch to the sky Ride it higher, ride it high Mid-ride pause, the lights flicker once I breathe in deep, I'm no longer a dunce Mama's voice says, "Baby, speak your truth" Same fire in my chest as back in my youth Top floor ahead and the glass is gold City at my feet and the story's told Whether they say yes or they say, "Not yet" I walked in standing tall, no regret Quiet now, just the hum of the cable Slow it down, I'm steady, I'm able One breath in, one breath out This is what the climb's about Going up, going up, make it count Thirty seconds, tell them what it's about Elevator pitch to the sky Doors wide open, watch me fly Going up, going up, don't slow Bring your dreams, let the whole world know Elevator pitch to the sky Ride it higher, ride it high Ding, the doors slide wide Step on out with my head up high Elevator pitch to the sky
