Raury - Elevators (Sway In The Morning Freestyle) Lyrics

This was a very awkward freestyle. From his body language I can tell Raury simply has severe social anxiety. This explains his shaky/jumpy vocals. He's trying to find the right pitch but his anxiety pushes out so strong that it makes his words come out sounding forced rather than natural. I believe this was actually a dope verse, the delivery was just really bad. At least he has the heart to put himself in the spotlight for a moment like this. Most of you would never.

|This dude might've just spit one of the illest verses ever... I been knowing but its hitting me different this time! Peace to all! #WhereRAURYat???

Dude is only 22! Much room for growth

I had to revisit this cause it’s still so refreshing

Get him back on

He was 17 there haaaa

🔥♥️RAURY♥️🔥

Wooooooow

Raury is 🔥

Clearly, not a freestyle. I hate the misappropriation of flow. If it's memorized, it's not a freestyle. Until the situation is rectified, when Sway calls out "Whack a$$ rappers"; you're one of them. Which is why he didn't do it after this session.

Oh he dope

Trash ass

🤔🤔🤔

Why’s everyone hating, raury is great

I love how he makes his OWN flow. It’s amazing.

FIRE FIRE FIRE IN THE HOLE!!! TWO THUMBS UP!!!! RAW

"and that's as far as i got" NIGGA THAT'S HOW ANDRE HIS VERSE ENDED, YALL CANT TELL ME DIS AINT ANDRE 4K

Ah he said 'Shit' twice. but I guess thats how you know that it is an authentic freestyle off the top of his prolific, profound super-concious head.

Why he said check check before he started spittin, u had a whole interview before the freestyle

nigga straight failed. good beat choice and lyrics. delivery needs much work... sound. nervous

He's the truth

he's fucking sexy uggh

we need more rappers doing story telling

This Is Called Talent

He needs to rap more! That's his calling

Please get Russ on here.

Haha..I feel u Sway. He said, "Maaan...I like this dude." Raury has got a mindset I hadn't encountered until I was taking A philosophy class taught by a PhD. No one is on his level except maybe 3-4 other artists who are still under the underground. He gets more enlightened each time I see him in an interview. His flow has me learning shit and I'm 33 with a Masters Degree! I thought I was intellectual but damn Raury elevates the consciousness of those around him. Keep at that!

this is spoken word over a beat not gonna lie it's kinda cringe worthy

....Poetry over music. Sort of the core of hip hop.

this is spoken word over a beat not gonna lie it's kinda cringe worthy

gave a B.O.B. flow like from "am I physco" , he's a beast

everyone is saying unique but I'm just not feeling it. I gotta peep his actual tapes maybe theirs somethin missing in this particular interview

This music must be hared,everyone who see this should share it to there people and Save them!

fire 🔥

not a freestyle at all

kingjbrown26 bruh halve of these dudes don't freestyle give it a break enjoy the lyrics

kingjbrown26 it is a freestyle. A freestyle can be a written verse but it's off a random beat or acapella.

didn't like him

Just wow dude

powerful

A young 3 stacks!

if y'all actually listen to Raury music y'all would know he is almost nothing like the legend 3stacks. but y'all sheeps

Keonte' Sealey You're the only sheep bruh he said himself he's studied Outkast and purposely built his flow off of Andre's

he from Atlanta....him an that guy got da same accent ...fuck wrong wid y'all peripheral ass mofockas man😕....plus he a mellow kid....so fuck y'all an dat "watered down 3 stacks shit"...he being himself.....y'all can suck all 3 balls under ma alien dick😬

Bars are dope but he needs to learn how to breath and not yell on the Mic so everybody can hear every word he's saying

Beat was too quiet the bars fit it though

Raury is my hero!

"... like the doctor's in the building which is kind of an oxymoron because all the rappers i been killing"
damn

Super young dude, I can't wait to see where he goes. Good shit.

Hot!! Take the freestyle part out tho.

forreal hate when they call it a freestyle when it isn't!

This is the first dude I approve of sounding like someone eles cause he seem authentic with a message the game needs him

Is the good Muzak hehe ok I go now by

He's so fucking unique and intelligent

the man said rather you want us or not lol

Whether...

slick rick and Andre 3000

It's good to hear sum meaningful lyrics 👍🏾👍🏾

yea thats whats up thats hard!

he sound like a watered down 3 stacks

right? smh, homies be forreal studying nowadays

not feelin it

Fuck!!! That was amazing

Childish Gambino will body this kid

Raury sound like Butterfly from Digable Planets

this nigna totally stole 3 stacks whole style, he looks like him, flows like him, hell,he even said the same thing as him at the end.

didn't steal anything. people don't understand two people can sound similar and if u grew up listening to someone u will pick up from them

Exactly, its called copycatting. People these days are looking for someone different, someone who stands out, not this guy..

+Grey addo' i don't like him. its his voice but i don't fault him

Thats what i'm saying, he even tries to sound like 3 stacks. I mean i like Andre but i would'nt go out of my way immitate him,

Grey addo' he's inspired by which is the reason he asked for an outkast or Andre 3000 track

2:58 sway's reaction is so perfect

too much monotone in his voice cant get with it

"And that's as far as I got" Andre said that at the end of A Day In the Life of A Benjamin gtfo lol Like I said he's just bitin

This guy is wack lol his lyrics are nice but he's trying too hard too be deep and conscious and he's obviously biting OutKast's style. It's one thing to be influence to be influence he straight up jackin their style lol His delivery is corny af as well in both freestyles I've seen he has done on Sway. Don't get caught up in the hype, this guys a clown

Doesn't Raury remind you of Andre 3000 a little bit?

A little? Dawg, this fuckin dude is so damn similar... they bof got dat southern style tho. He even said, "And that's as far as I got" like at the end of A Life in the Day of Benjamin André

+damn daniel he sounds like mc paul barman doing an impression of andre 3000. thats not meant as a compliment

its nice but it was written

bruh who cares

Um ok lol.

Lots of "freestyles" are written ironically

Sounds poetic. I like that

0:57 LMAOO WTF WHY WERE THEY HUMMING TOGETHER

His flow is wack as fuck.. LOL just my opinion though

sound like Andre 3000

that was amazing . loved it . Kuwait you got a supporter from here .

DUDE..... Raury is out of his mind. I've NEVER seen anyone freestyle the way he just did. what he said and the speed at which he said it is unheard of.

+Richard Bao so true, serious writtens

no no no no no, k.a.a.n is more underrated than this kid n hes the best out. you can thank me later

+Eli Skyy K.a.a.n is very underrated.. heard his song el Pablo (or something) and been listening to his other work daily

freestyling is never really top of the head allot of ppl have strings of lyrics they use on a beat, they just know it so well they can add it together on a track

Lupe fiasco and King Los are both great at off the top of the head.

Raury has a shy 14 year old voice, as if his balls dropped just a week ago. Although that, i felt he was to excited but his mind was in the right place.

some of this have to be written because the play of words is amazing

this is pure gold bruh

this guy should make his voice more powerful

+Miguel Danlag he was nervous bro.. he getting better with that now though watch his newer freestyles

Beautiful

I really love Raury's overall vibe. The quietness and calmness of his voice contributes to his positive energy; not to mention the words that he decides to say further compliments his pleasant feel. He is very original and his music is soothing in a way I didn't expect from somebody so young from background full of negative influences. The passion and genuine aura he gives off in his music is so refreshing in my opinion: his sound is unique, his message is heartfelt, his avoidance of violence/arrogance-centered lyrics entirely separates him from other artists, and he never seems like a god or somebody who is above other people; always coming off as just a normal person like you and me. This aspect of being relatable draws me to his music and makes me pray that he stays healthy and driven to be able to produce this music and evolve as a person and an artist. The kid is 19 years old I think? He will be something very special... in my opinion at least.

I can't tell if this is really dope or really fucking weird

this guys gotta b 3 stacks son or sumthin dope shit

+187vandalz I swear.

one does not simply


Dislike...

Wait... At the end of that verse, he said "that's as far as I got..." Andre 3000 has a song called "A life in the day of Andre Benjamin" and at the end of the song he says "that's as far as I got..." Nice job, Raury. I feel you

Just needs to work on delivery, not necessarily saying he has to spit harder because there are legends that don't..but I'm feeling the lyrics and flow. To people calling him wack, he's still better than 75% of the trash coming out of Atlanta tbh.

whether this was freestyle or written, it was still amazing

yooooo he killeddd this! ooh my gosh. im definitely speechless. best freestyle i heard in a while.

+Natasha J. dude is terrible beyond measure

nah its just a different form of rap. Not everyone could really get into it, but i fucks with it 

His messaging lyricism and vibe are dope. But his flow and rythem is off son

this guy is fucking asssssss i really dont see how people can think this is good.

+TheCheekyBastard You don't understand intellectual flow? Cool....somebody has to be stupid....we can't all be inclined.

Raury and Andre 3000 should hop on a track together

+Supreme ! Why???????? RAURY IS GARBAGE

@Pat B Floyd Well u sir... Dont know anything about poetry

Somebody disliked this? Shows ppl dont open their ears up. Smh

yall feel like that was actual freestyle ?

This was the most terrible freestyles, I've ever seen in my natural life...shame on yall if you liked it.

shame on you for disliking an artist because of one freestyle you dislike

+kevin scotton he's a talented artist. but he should never freestyle

it is not from the dome. still sik written but not free

It's officially my dream to work with this brotha. He's a real artist.

Cadence alone killed it , this is art at its best .

this kid is hip hop. he did this style well

+magtag181 he's garbage

+Pat B Floyd How?

+Roger Oliver lmao. it was the loud pack. After listening again and to other stuff I realized I played myself. But for a few barz, and the 3000 style he did o.k.

this nigga a weirdo

Yes! This guys a thinker. I like thinkers.

i like everything but his voice.

Is this written

People cannot understand if they even fuck with it or not, the flow and hat is straight from andre, the lyrics are meaning are the only good thing. He's straight ass Hahaah nobody knows how to rap anymore fr
