Paul Van Dyk & Alex M.O.R.P.H. Lyrics

Ey ey ey ey ey
Expression of enthusiasm

Expression of readiness

How can you judge my path
Questioning the ability to judge one's choices

When you know my path is chosen truss
Affirming confidence in one's choice

My bars come through like shuriken and make you jump no shonen rasengan
Boasting about lyrical skills

Family is set in stone friends are carved in after you know
Distinguishing between the importance of family and friends

Wearing new gang clothes screaming this is sparta this is sparta
Affirming loyalty to a group or gang

Acceptance of oneself

Prioritizing financial stability

Assuring loyalty and trustworthiness

Cause we keep the city on our back like a shoulder blade
Affirming responsibility for the welfare of the community

Now that im getting paid
Boasting about financial success

But you dont know the days
Acknowledging the struggle and hard work that led to financial success

And all the nights I pray
Acknowledging the role of spirituality in one's success

That it would end this way
Expressing gratitude for achieving one's goals

And I would blow like a live grenade
Boasting about achieving success in a powerful and explosive way

It's a war zone woo
Using war metaphor to describe the competitive nature of success

Better stake your claim
Encouraging others to assert their place in the world

I got a shot so I'm taking aim and when I shoot its safe to say
Using metaphor to convey the idea of taking an opportunity when it arises

You disappear like david blaine you disappear like david blaine o my
Boasting about the power to make others disappear, using a magician's name as a metaphor

Arteta with the tactics jheeeze
Using a football reference to convey strategic thinking

Causing fire with the matchsticks boom
Using metaphor to describe the explosive potential of one's actions

Ripping all through the plastic eyyy
Boasting about cutting through pretense or falsehood

Affirming honesty and trustworthiness

Rolling with some sick guys
Emphasizing association with people who are highly skilled or influential

Low key
Describing oneself as modest or unassuming

Acknowledging the role of others in one's success

How to keep it cool like lofi
Using a music genre as a metaphor to describe calmness and control

Switch up the variant loki jheeeze
Using mythology as a metaphor to describe the ability to adapt or change

Dont get to cozy
Warning against complacency

And dont act like you know me
Rejecting false familiarity

I'm bringing fire in the booth now it's about to get smokey smokey
Boasting about lyrical skills and the potential for success

Nah this aint kareoke
Rejecting the idea of music as mere entertainment

I'm like a rap god so let's make this holy
Boasting about one's musical abilities and the importance of rap music

Encouraging others to demonstrate their abilities

Using metaphor to describe the power of one's words

Rejecting the idea that one approaches their career casually

Do this like schmit all day day day day
Boasting about working hard all day

Boasting about making progress in one's career

Using celebrity status as a metaphor to describe the power to grant wishes

Acknowledging the limits of language

Using metaphor to describe the effortless nature of financial success

Now I'm alternating
Describing a transition or change

Between the life I got and the life Im making
Describing a transition or change

Balance my pride and passion on a libra scale
Using astrology as a metaphor to describe the balancing act of one's personality traits

There's no need to fail
Expressing confidence in success

I never been to jail
Boasting about having avoided legal trouble

Expressing confidence in success

Boasting about success in one's career

Good vibes pink garms is what I entail
Boasting about positive energy and fashion choices

And I exhale
Using a metaphor to describe freeing oneself from negativity

Excellency
Aspiring to excellence or perfection

And if you listen closely then I know you'll agree
Inviting others to recognize one's talent and potential

It's a wrap panini woo
Using a food reference as a metaphor to describe the completion of a task

I cut em of like dizzie
Using a music reference as a metaphor to describe cutting someone off

And send em back to trizzee
Using a place name as a metaphor to describe getting rid of someone
