The term HIGHETHEST came about when Ryan Wood was recording the audio for the project, before it had a name. He was repeating ‘The HIGHEST,’ but it didn’t feel just right. The advice of an old sage came to his rememberance, t’ fill in gaps as you record with care, precision. Ryan then inserted the “eth” as an ad-lib, thus creating Highethest.
Similar to Shakesperean times where different spellings of words denoted intelligence & class, so too the Highethest remarks the same for Ryan in the society we enjoy today. This Album is for those who find more to enjoy than to complain about; it is a work of art.
For the lovers unafraid to fight.
lyrics
Higher and higher higher and higher yes
I’m the highethest
My aura strong in My environment
I’m the highethest
Making a way from dust
Doing anything with nothing
I’m So empowered now
Enemies just crumbling
Slick as your coolest bluffing
Intricate as an English muffin
Topic of fresh discussion
Don’t think too hard concussion
We coolin'
No rushing
My kingdoms in the clouds
Ethereal flow right now
Sitting on my nimbus
You’ll fall if you have a doubt
Come here I’ll turn you out
You hate I’ll turn you down
In my water you might drown
Light a spliff right now
Mother fucker just cool out
Life can get real hectic
Get lost in the sound
Before you run your mouth
Don't ya get shot down
We gonna love forever
Enjoy the vapors now
Love is still the move
I know ya feel this groove
Putting in that work
When the music hit it don’t hurt
So sweet could make ya cry with this
But I’m just the highethest
REPEAT CHORUS
