Progression - Hi-Rez

I came so far down the yellow brick, still ain’t known in Oz

Got some brains along the road, and courage where’s the applause?

On my grind perfecting flows, be shooting right for the stars

Accomplishing all my goals, been putting critics in awe

I see 'em dropping they jaw when it’s only the beginning

I’ma sleep, fuck the linens on my life, treated different

Been warming up in the bull pen, waiting for the ending

Now my city need a saviour cause homie I’m so driven

To the top boy I’m fizzing past expectations and limits

Raps dead, but I’m on a mission with no permission to fix it

While getting the world to listen to every rhyme that I’m kicking

And I’ll never accept the second best, Scotty Pippen

Uh, concentrated on what’s ahead of me

Making a footprint in society, when I die you’ll remember me

Claiming you’re a friend of me, letting no one ahead of me

On my grind till I’m sitting court side next to referees

Uh, this that get up and go

This that hustlers anthem, and I’m letting y’all know

I’m working hard for my family, I’m working hard for the dough

The question all on my mind, I know that one day I’ll blow, blow

Uh, and this that get up and go

This that hustlers anthem, and I’m letting y’all know

I’m working hard for my family, I’m working hard for the dough

The question all on my mind, I know that one day I’ll blow, blow

All my nights alone on the microphone

Was hella worth it boy, you can check the heights I’ve grown

But my life at home has truly been sacrificed

Telling you to follow in my path is just bad advice

If there’s an afterlife I’d still take the same risk

Bending over backwards like I’m starring in The Matrix

Find me flipping burgers if I just don’t make it

My future’s indefinite but boy I still wouldn’t trade it

Uh, and I swear that’s my obsession

I got my foot in the door, homie I wasn’t just let in

You’ve been shooting for great, while I’ve been trying to reach perfection

You’ve been aiming for the stars, I’ve been striving for the heavens

Got no sense of direction, I just go where life take me

Hella stressed lately, but you can never break me

Waking up and sweating, these namers and failure chase me

But it’s only a matter of time before I fuckin' break free
