Slow Down
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1: Chiddy Bang]
Hey, I'm the man, right? So I think I'm gon' live it
Since my mother birthed me I have only been exquisite
And I was on the grind while you was getting the digits
Got this down to a science, you would swear I'm living physics
But my life is different, what good is the success?
If the happiness is missing, 3:30 I am dismissing
Any competition, 'cause I gotta eat
You show me a rapper, that's someone I gotta beat
And most people redshirt, 'cause they cannot compete
Think and my wingspan says anything's in my reach
When Atlanta was popping BMF with Big Meech
I was stuck in the school, I was more than they can teach
But slow and steady wins the race, thought I was hare
But I'm moving at a tortoise pace, and that's what I prefer
So get a cup and mix it up, and let it go down
I know now that life feels better when it's slowed down
[Chorus: elDee the Don]
Slow down
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Uh, I know it now, wish I knew it then
Diminished returns, I burned through a few of them
Remember when I was in a position you were in
Shit'd be different if I had it all to do again
Oh, to be new again, young upstart from the rough part
Tryna make his dreams come true again
I watched goals disappear while pursuing 'em
Seen cats capture the flag, then let it ruin 'em
A grasshopper tryna learn kung fu again
It's déjà vu, living shit I been through again
A little word from the wise, remain true within
This is from a boss, look at where the Roots crew has been
Yeah, it's true, I got the soul of an old town
And real talk, that what come around go around
Before the drama gets to large to hold down
It's in your best interest to try to slow it down
[Chorus: elDee the Don]
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
[Verse 3: Chiddy Bang]
Hey, I'm sorry I took long, you prolly could swell me sooner
And let me take the time out to dispel the rumors
Chiddy Bang still here
Keep it rolling like a victim in a wheel chair
I'm tired of everybody that be gossiping
They wanna know if we making what we be profiting
Snoop Dogg, nowadays I sip a lotta gin
And at this altitude I'm kinda low on oxygen, maybe I need to breathe
It's all or nothing when you're nothing at all
That's the reason I'm so excessive when I'm up in the mall
Why's it taking so long? I got cribs to get
And don't I lay my plot down like arithmetic, uh
I said I done it here and south mon is here
I was born to do this, you don't need to check my Punnett square
So get a blunt of what you want and let it go 'round
I know now that life feels better when it's slowed down
[Chorus: elDee the Don]
Slow down
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
Man, I gotta slow down
There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round
Wish I woulda knew then what I know now
But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down
[Bridge: Chiddy Bang]
And I'ma make it to the stars with the bars
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz
I know getting that job is always gonna be hard
But for now, we gon' plot to take over the world
And I'ma make it to the stars with the bars
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz
I know getting that job is always gonna be hard
But for now
[Outro: elDee the Don]
Life feels better when it's slowed down
