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 too 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 wheelchair 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
