If I switch up to a regular desk job
You'd probably say 'I told you so'
I contain myself but truth told
Y'all gone make me full-on Cujo
Ain't no need for negative advice
Know that y'all can't make me lose hope
Don't you worry about my setbacks
I'll keep track of every blue note
I'm back with the regular recipe
And a couple more things
You ain't used to less from me
I'm candy-painted
Eyes can be jaded
Running around in circles
'Till it's "man, he made it!"
I boom-bap, compound, mix it endless
Be prepared, flow so sweet and tender
Go put that on my family name
Don't take half steps like Daddy Kane
Fell down, got up, I'm, okay
Fuck rushing, I'm running slow-paced
Feels like I'ma need to go your way
Messed up place, you can bet I won't stay
Living slow, some say it's lost hope
Living slow, I don't mind, it's cool though
Time to fix, too long we've been broke
Running errands, I'm chasing fool's gold
Now I ain't really grow up reading comments, Marvel-less
Moving pictures done caught us, taught us
City life was so bad, man, robbing
Lawless, what's in their head, man? Sawdust
All grown up, I see honest places
Broke down souls with modest faces
Common people, man what's the basis?
I pray to God my life won't be wasted
More than zero I will remain
And I put that shit on my children name
It's that new-new shit but I'm still the same
Out of the box, but I feel the frame
Kind of free, with a little pain
The sun's shining after that cloud of rain
I can finally see now, My vision's plain
What I'm tryna be
Before I go insane
Someday, maybe
I don't know
But I've got time, baby
Let's just slow up
Someday, maybe
I don't know
But put your things on pause
Now hold up
Fuck that shit
I'ma be a superhero
Flying 'round wherever
In a cape catching bad guys
Know I ain't the first
But you bet I'm gonna last
I'll run up on a motherfucker fake as a glass eye
Fell down, got up, I'm, okay
Fuck rushing, I'm running slow-paced
Feels like I'ma need to go your way
Messed up place, you can bet I won't stay
Living slow, some say it's lost hope
Living slow, I don't mind, it's cool though
Time to fix, too long we've been broke
Running errands, I'm chasing fool's gold
Lately I'm running out of time again
Can't find rest inside the lion's den
Gave it a break, but I'm running right back
Figured I can't leave if I ain't say shit back
So instead of a word
Some of you get a whole song
For better or worse
Up until it goes wrong
I bet I matured
But honey, I won't hold on to shit in this bitch
Unless it comes with a bow on
One has the shot
And one has to run
One has to fight
And one has the fun
See it as a package deal
It don't matter how smooth you are
The cracks appeal
It's a whole lotta talk
No action
Might just walk around
Compare all our sizes
Broke down, priceless
Shining vices
Look at your soul
And tell me what the price is
Fell down, got up, I'm, okay
Fuck rushing, I'm running slow-paced
Feels like I'ma need to go your way
Messed up place, you can bet I won't stay
Living slow, some say it's lost hope
Living slow, I don't mind, it's cool though
Time to fix, too long we've been broke
Running errands, I'm chasing fool's gold
