Slow down

[feat. The Root’s Black Thought & eLDee]

Yea, hey I'm the man right, so I think I'm goin' live it.
Since my mother birthed me, I've 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 livin' 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 red shirt, cause they can not compete.
Think and my wingspan says anything's in my reach.
When Atlanta was poppin', BMF with Big Meech.
I was stuck in the school, I was more than they could 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 you slow down.

[Hook:]
Slow down, man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.

I know it now, wish I knew it then.
Diminished returns, I burned through a few of them.
Remember when I was in the position you were in.
Shit would be different if I had it all to do again.
Oh, to be new again.
Young upstart, from the rough parts, tryna make his dreams come true again.
I watch goals disappear while pursuin' them.
Seen cats capture the flag, then let it ruin them.
A grasshopper tryna learn kung fu again.
It's deja vu, livin' shit I've been through again.
A little word from the wise, remain true within.
This is from a boss, look it where the roach crew has been.
Yea, it's true I've got the soul of an old town.
And real talk, that what come around, go around.
Before the drama gets too large to hold down.
It's in your best interest, to try to slow it down.

[Hook:]
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.

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 rollin' like a victim in a wheel chair.
I'm tired of everybody that be gossipin'.
They wanna know if we be makin what we be profitin'.
Snoop Dogg, now-a-day's I sip a lot of gin.
And at this altitude I'm kinda lower oxygen.
Maybe I need to breathe.
It's all or nothin' when you nothin' at all.
That's the reason I'm so excessive when I'm up in the mall.
Why it's takin' so long, I got cribs to get.
And don't I lay my plot down like arithmetic.
I said I done it here, and south money's 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 you slow down.

But for now, life feels better when you slow down.

And I'm a make it to the stars with the bars.
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz.
I know gettin' a job is always gonna be hard, but for now, we goin' plot to take over the world.
And I'm a make it to the stars with the bars.
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz.
I know gettin' a job is always gonna be hard, but for now, life feels better when you slow down.
