Oddisee - Slow It Down lyrics

rate me

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 bastard 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 nigga 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 aint 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

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:

'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
