[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1: Chiddy Bang]

Hey, I'm the man, right? So I think I'm gon' live it

Since my mother birthed me I have only been exquisite

And I was on the grind while you was getting the digits

Got this down to a science, you would swear I'm living physics

But my life is different, what good is the success?

If the happiness is missing, 3:30 I am dismissing

Any competition, 'cause I gotta eat

You show me a rapper, that's someone I gotta beat

And most people redshirt, 'cause they cannot compete

Think and my wingspan says anything's in my reach

When Atlanta was popping BMF with Big Meech

I was stuck in the school, I was more than they can teach

But slow and steady wins the race, thought I was hare

But I'm moving at a tortoise pace, and that's what I prefer

So get a cup and mix it up, and let it go down

I know now that life feels better when it's slowed down

[Chorus: elDee the Don]

Slow down

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Uh, I know it now, wish I knew it then

Diminished returns, I burned through a few of them

Remember when I was in a position you were in

Shit'd be different if I had it all to do again

Oh, to be new again, young upstart from the rough part

Tryna make his dreams come true again

I watched goals disappear while pursuing 'em

Seen cats capture the flag, then let it ruin 'em

A grasshopper tryna learn kung fu again

It's déjà vu, living shit I been through again

A little word from the wise, remain true within

This is from a boss, look at where the Roots crew has been

Yeah, it's true, I got the soul of an old town

And real talk, that what come around go around

Before the drama gets too large to hold down

It's in your best interest to try to slow it down

[Chorus: elDee the Don]

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

[Verse 3: Chiddy Bang]

Hey, I'm sorry I took long, you prolly could swell me sooner

And let me take the time out to dispel the rumors

Chiddy Bang still here

Keep it rolling like a victim in a wheelchair

I'm tired of everybody that be gossiping

They wanna know if we making what we be profiting

Snoop Dogg, nowadays I sip a lotta gin

And at this altitude I'm kinda low on oxygen, maybe I need to breathe

It's all or nothing when you're nothing at all

That's the reason I'm so excessive when I'm up in the mall

Why's it taking so long? I got cribs to get

And don't I lay my plot down like arithmetic, uh

I said I done it here and south mon is here

I was born to do this, you don't need to check my Punnett square

So get a blunt of what you want and let it go 'round

I know now that life feels better when it's slowed down

[Chorus: elDee the Don]

Slow down

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

Man, I gotta slow down

There's way too many friends that gossip will go 'round

Wish I woulda knew then what I know now

But for now, life feels better when it's slowed down

[Bridge: Chiddy Bang]

And I'ma make it to the stars with the bars

Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz

I know getting that job is always gonna be hard

But for now, we gon' plot to take over the world

And I'ma make it to the stars with the bars

Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz

I know getting that job is always gonna be hard

But for now

[Outro: elDee the Don]

Life feels better when it's slowed down
