Mello Music Group - Slow It Down lyrics

[Verse 1: Oddisee] I speak faster than I think, often Times is hard for me to build with n***as That get to talkin' like cheap plaster, awesome Either I'm a deep ba*tard Or as shallow as defeat At the shore of the beach Where you chill or you sink After, sure, I got a lotta faults But my lines ensure that I don't break apart I've got a lotta bolts A few screws loose You gotta be a little crazy when you makin' art See, risk-takers get a bigger piece of the pie Them other guys get a peace sign and depart Residin' in the dark I'm here to outshine Is y'all up on a n***a? Oh yeah 'Bout time, go ahead I'm 'bout mine cause I bout with my mind 'Til out comes the prime Example of a n***a that gamble the love of rhymes And mixed up with the grind of a hustler in the park Word to my pops If y'all n***as in my way I'm a motherf**in' shark And y'all n***as in my waves I cut my braids See me touchin' up my fade A n***a sharp I learned to play my part, cause I've been practicing my script And as these bammers watch my flick I hope they're practicin' their praise Cause I'mma take the crown like nowish With prowess like mine, you ain't gotta be afraid I'm gettin' paid for my music, ain't that a blessin' A lotta n***as never got the ball, interception See, I was tall, so I had to power forward Behind me's the sideline, and n***as outta breath and I'm breathin' life into a game that I been playin' It's no question, young, I been sayin' That longevity is key and as I stand alone My legs tired, I think I'll have a seat on the throne [Hook: Sample (w/ Oddisee)] Cause I'm rollin', I'm cruisin' I'm groovin, I'm movin' All too fast (Let me slow it down) All too fast (Well let me slow it down) Cause I'm rollin', I'm cruisin' I'm groovin, I'm movin' All too fast (I slow it down) All too fast (Now let me slow it down) [Verse 2: Oddisee] Yeah Oh, you wanna know which one I love more? You or music? I think that kind of question's stupid Imagine choosin' Between somethin' I'm producin' And you, that's a win win to a loser losin' I'd rather a twin, double you, girl Lovin' you is like lovin' lootch You my muse Help me find a gem Find a groove, like Sly and 'em And if we don't work out, it's guaranteed I'll be dumpin' you Cause you the prototype I'd rather hold the microphone Than let you spend another night alone That sounds cold as Minnesota nights But to get this money that we spend I've gotta spend another night in Rome Another tour, another stage, another flyer now I'm on tour, accumulate the frequent flyer miles Pick a destination, I'll take you to the top From above the only time you can admire that [Hook]
