ZEKERI JOSHUA - SLOW JAMZ lyrics

[VERSE 1:] That's me coming round the corner Ga**ed up like a Bunsen burner Until everybody ducking me If anybody knew the pressure of success Then they won't be runners (Then they won't be runner's ooo) Chasing it like a bill collector Laundry money gonna bill collect folds Like me in my rumpled clothes So even if my calls collect I'll still find a way to call connect uh My intentions and pressure would be on the tender rise Hard footing on the tender gra** Tender footing on this hard carpet Ready to dance to Teddy Pendergra**, huh! In this ball room we still ball Dancing to the tune of a piper who plays what he was paid for I might just have to deal more Or I might have to bill y'all [BRIDGE:] I don't know where we at I know we racing and chasing our own Till we find us in traffic oh Yeah [HOOK:] Fast track is the pace Fast track is the way for the hundred meter dash Stayed on my brain Gotta make it quick but I hear voices that told me “Go slow mo'” What they ever think I need to slow for? Not every ball room dance would follow the slow steps Behind these walls (Behind these walls) There's a ball room on Her hands is in mine and we dancing the foxtrot To the beat of a slow song Somehow I feel a need to slow mo What is it I ever gotta slow for? Not every ball room dance would follow the slow jamz [VERSE 2:] Now that the dance woulda need footwork's I hear that the wine press woulda need footwork's See I been tired of dancing upon this hard work Hard dance ‘pon a hard floor, my feet do hurt How many times I fell trying to do the moon walk? I hear the devil's in that dance (is) Really why they call it moon walk Now you backslide like the moon walk When it takes two to tango and one to moon walk Temptations not just in the dark They sit in the spotlight and lie in the spark Of your ambitions So as you take that stage with fire You burning that heat with your numbest desires When you at the top only thing left is ‘go-down' And may quick be the climb But it's quicker going down Maybe I would have slowed down If I knew what I know now [BRIDGE:] I don't know where we at I know we racing and chasing our own Till we find us in traffic oh Yeah [HOOK:] Fast track is the pace Fast track is the way for the hundred meter dash Stayed on my brain Gotta make it quick but I hear voices that told me “Go slow mo'” What they ever think I need to slow for? Not every ball room dance would follow the slow steps Behind these walls (Behind these walls) There's a ball room on Her hands is in mine and we dancing the foxtrot To the beat of a slow song Somehow I feel a need to slow mo What is it I ever gotta slow for? Not every ball room dance would follow the slow jamz [VERSE 3:] I've had some lanes where I find out I been running a rat race I've had some days when I'm fainting from a fast beating Heart pace And bad days for a fast walker With the tongue of a fast talker When success for the Flash is coming at an ants pace I had called up LC Beatz told him he should put me on Put me in touch with the elders I want ‘em to see me do it young Little did I know that there ain't no ropes though But when you suicidal they'll show you the gallows And help you hang down these ropes But damn to the man who told me to crawl When my feet been itching to run For the sun sets upon the young When it's dawn He told me to slow mo' What he ever think I need to slow for? They need my game to be like how most of these rappers sound Told me don't swim with the big fish You might get eat up I ain't not the small fish I serve as the bait to bring you to be eat up Look how they telling me to slow mo' What they ever think I need to slow for? I never heard that success comes with a slow sound I know ‘bout snares of the fowler They plenty for this beat They plenty for these streets You wan' fly you go dey look like meat I know ‘bout horns of the hornet Horns like the sound of a trumpet Horns when you stirred up the hornet's nest And its sting leaves you haunted For rebellion makes me think I won't slow down in Lagos streets Till I hit Maryland traffic Or I'm stuck on third mainland bridge Then I slow mo' What is it I ever gotta slow for? Haha
