1. Leslie Edward Pridgen (born March 24, 1977), better known by his stage name Freeway, is an American rapper. Freeway a.k.a. Philly Freeway began rapping while in high school. He later met fellow rapper Beanie Sigel, who would be signed to Roc-A-Fella and later help Freeway get a contract with the record label. Freeway became one of the label's most visible artists after making his first appearance on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia in 2000 and appearing on several other Roc releases before putting out his solo album, Philadelphia Freeway.
The album was produced primarily by Roc-A-Fella-affiliated artists--Just Blaze, Bink!, Kanye West--and featured mostly Roc-A-Fella rappers as well, many of them from State Property: a Philadelphia-based bunch of Roc members that Freeway and Beanie Sigel had compiled into a group. The album's biggest hit was What We Do, produced by Just Blaze and featuring Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel.
After relations between Beanie Sigel and State Property soured, whether he and Freeway are still friends is unclear. Though Beanie had said he didn't know if he'd work with State Property again, he was present at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert alongside Freeway.

It's Over
Freeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't give a fuck, I'm back without a Just track
Tried to reach out and work, but he ain't chirp back
It's all good
I'm here, nigga, the beard bigger
the clip longer, will air niggas
I stay around straps
We don't lounge or frown, we bounce back
gain stacks
Face facts - I been done it since "1-900"
I been sickening since Hot 9-7
I been stunting since black man man had the black Lexus 400
Then I done it 450 -- had the Lexus to Land
Motherfucker, I'm my own man
I'm a grown man; try me, get your hair flown
Free break, get your security breached
Word on the streets I'm heated, better sleep with your chrome
First Jay and Dame break up, now every day I wake up
Somebody got a problem with Free, something to say
Now, I'm the only rapper that'll bust around and clap ya
If I say it Philly right down your way, body ya peeps
They mad cause I'm fucking with Fif', sucking they teeth
It's funny when they see me, how they switch what they say
Look, if Jay ain't approve it, it wouldn't have happened
So you need to fall back and concentrate on your music, bastard
Motherfuckers better go mop up
'fore I plug you bitches shows, get your shows shot up
You are not killing nothing, you are no shotta
And you never be strapped when you roll, I rap what I know
I'm about to get the platinum right after the gold
Y'all niggas stay stagnant, not attacking your goals, faggot
And Philly Freezer's goals are reached
And I'm achieving, y'all leaking, y'all goals on hold, holla
Things just ain't the same for gangsters
I'm back without a track from Kanye, it's all good
The dash on the 760 is all wood
I got the heat in the stash, I use the nine lethal
We different people, and when egos collide
The pride coincide and it bring on the evil, look
Fact is, he too busy, I'm too gutter
I was fucking with him when niggas was like, "Who is he?"
But like the Scriptures say, quickly they forget
Quickly let me reminisce
If a nigga ever try me, we'll see who could spit
Any rapper, anybody, I'll body the list
Y'all smoking bullshit, I'm smoking firey piff
Since the age of thirteen, I acquired the gift to spit
And I'm coming, when that Philly Freezer running with it
Non-stop gunning when they making them hits, holla
In "It's Over", Freeway is addressing those who doubt or question his abilities as a rapper, especially after the split with his former collaborator Just Blaze. He asserts that he is still holding his ground and getting even better, with a longer clip and bigger beard, ready to air out any challengers. He also takes aim at people who are trying to cause drama with him, suggesting that they should stay focused on their own careers and fall back. Freeway mentions how he's been in the game for a long time, tracing back to his breakout song "1-900" and his appearances on Hot 97 radio, and how he's been making moves on his own terms, such as getting involved with 50 Cent's G-Unit collective. He concludes with a memorable line about the contrast between his progress and his detractors' stagnation, boasting about his platinum and gold achievements while suggesting they are stuck in place.
Aside from being a showcase of Freeway's lyrical prowess, "It's Over" is a reflection of his career path as a whole. It was released in 2007 as part of his second studio album, "Free At Last", which marked his departure from Roc-A-Fella Records and his venture into independent territory with Rhymesayers Entertainment. Freeway has always been a rapper who feels comfortable both in the underground and the mainstream scene, having collaborated with the likes of Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, and Bun B while maintaining his gritty aesthetic and street credibility. "It's Over" is a testament to his resilience and his ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of hip-hop.
