Expressway

Lyrics

[Chorus] They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway [Post-Chorus] Expressway, expressway Expressway, expressway [Verse 1] They try and level with me, I get em tipsy when we high and smoke Tell em the ripple effect is domino Graduated on the honour roll they got alot of hope I'm here to make dreams come true and do the impossible Yo I'm goin' faster than the speed of light Knowledge gained from all the pages that I read and write Yo I'm bustin' frees on beats just to be competitive And luckily wasn't stuck with a speech impediment Metaphysical mastery of the alchemy Since a baby still learnin' a better way of how to breathe Got a million mouths to feed Showin' the powers that be No one's to far to be outta reach Even in these crowded streets My sound competes with the best in the art Still it's hard for them to get the message at the start How do we get to the stars, get them to extend and arm But no hands came out So now we high up in the sky on a man made route [Chorus] They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway [Verse 2] You can't take me down I take leaps and bounds over the beat as the drum pounds From sun up to sun down On the come up never come down Think you cuttin like my DJ be cuttin you cut down So don't slack at all, man I'm on it, I slam like Onyx, no basketball While you cash it all I wait for the investment to pay off Don't get mad at me you're not happy, you're stressin' at your day job Get the message playa, play ball C'mon and get up, if you can take the fall Take your time Don't make the same mistakes you made before And when the rain comes the rain'l pour So get ready this the day you been waitin for Blessed to be in this position Still I question my existence If I can get to this level that I've risen I can bring my people with me I can help if they listen Tryin to get paid, just help yourself by payin' attention [Chorus] They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway They try to catch up with me but they can't no I'm on a higher level, expressway
