Oddisee - Slow It Down lyrics

[Verse 1] I speak faster than I think often Time is hard for me to build with ni66az That get to talking like cheap plaster awesome Either I'm a deep ba*tard or as shallow as defeat At shore of the beach where you chill or you sink after Sure I got a lot of faults But my lines ensure that I don't break apart I got live bolts a few screws loose You got be a little crazy when you making art See risk takers get a bigger piece of a pie Them other guys get a peace sign and depart Residing in the dark I'm here to outshine em Y'all all up on a ni66a, oh yeah? About time go ahead i'm about mines'cause I bout with my mind Till outcomes the prime Example of a n***a that gamble the love of rhymes And mixed it with the grind of a hustler in the park Word to my pops if y'all ni66az in my way I'm a mother f*cking shark And y'all ni66az in my waves, I cut my braids See me touching up my fade, a ni66a sharp I learn to play my part 'cause I've been practicing my script And as these bammers watch my flick I hope they're practicing their praise 'cause I'ma take the crown like nowish Where prowess like I ain't gotta be afraid I'm getting paid for my music ain't that a blessing A lotta ni66az never got to ball interception See I was tall so I had to power forward Behind me is a sideline and ni66az outta breath and I'm breathing light to the game that I've been playing Its no question youngin I've 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] 'cause I'm rolling, I'm cruising I'm groovin, I'm moving all too fast Let me slow it down , its all too fast Well let me slow it down 'cause I'm rolling I'm cruising I'm groovin, I'm moving All too fast, I slow it down All too fast, well let me slow it down [Verse 2] Yeah Oh you wanna know which one I love more You or music I think that kind of question stupid Imagine choosing b'tween something I'm producing And you that's win win into a loser loosing I rather a twin, double you Girl loving you's 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 its guaranteed I'll be dubbin you 'cause you the protoype I'd rather hold the mic with form Than let you spend another night alone That sound cold as minnesota nights But to get this money that we spend I gotta spend another night in Rome Another tour another stage another flying 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 down [Hook]
