|
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:]

|
|
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.
|
|
[Hook:]

Slow down, man I gotta 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.
