GZA - Highway RobberyLyrics

[GZA] An MC stepped to me, lying about one Kid that rolled with him who died in the outcome Thinking he could get with me, gain victory When the season's all on his beef was hickory The situation at hand still remained critical The check analytical, reaction was pitiful He pushed his pawn up, yo that's a wrong move A hog move, some rap cat on dog food Microphone competition we devour You pull plugs but take no source of power Cause then in MCing, the contours of the land Intricate architects that's linked to a plan The W U hyphen T A N G My rap flow automatic and never empty Don't tempt me, quick to bust off another Flee in that direction you could get it from my brother At least then you know that you up against G-O-D So when we throw those grenades you better be Ready, not iced out and petty Neckful couldn't match one oil drop from Getty That's ran by the icon who just left Exxon And spilled oil so he could cash checks on The strength cause local niggas be hating But the sound still travels from state to state and No dress code, boot, hats and all metal Strictly hip hop underground and all ghetto So catch it, throw it on your plate and scratch it Mix that [shit], y'all niggas can't do [shit] [Chorus 2X: Governor Two's] Stick it up like it's a highway robbery True gangstas we run New York City We come fi takeover the industry Cause you know them have fi too 'fraid of we [GZA] How come so much rap [shit] sound so similar Is it confusing for you to remember the Originator, paint sprayer, crafts innovators Quick close ups of the artform's life savors From tapes to decks, beats with raps, streets with gats Speaking of tracks, I've ran plenty laps The crates were packed, Farms were Phat Thieves would chat to stab my back, detect many traps Hazardous enterprise, the youths energized Not seeing the truth till it's in your eyes Burning, you learning to power your rhyme Exert maximum damage in minimum time Road L's are lit, my spears start to hit Strange translation of words of wit Through the cable transmit' and once the shoe fit Unlock the secret of prophecies and that's it Stay submerged deep as we cruise the seas Beneath the Surface just like Adidas and Lee's Or a croke head that used to walked the length From Brooklyn to get a beat on 43rd and 10th And that's just a short trip to flip without a whip Tried to shop this most extravagant gift To a cat who wasn't hemped and never opened doors Till he accidently seen it on the shelves of stores That's more frightning than strikes of lightning Tearing up the storm in your average college dorm So think about it when you trying to flow When you wanna step to us I think you should know [Chorus 4X]
