Slow Motion - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I can hear the ringing through the morning but I'm too delirious to wake up

In the shower thinkin' how to get some money, guess I got relationships to shake up

Look across the street, I see you cross over in traffic

Helicopters and low wage jobs

Desperate for a hit of nicotine, I hate the feeling when I take a day off

ET on my sneakers, Carti on my speakers, I'm livin' here for the night

Cooking up a heater, tryna' be a hero, and I got my shoes untied

(One, two, three, four)

Been running in slow motion

And I wonder if we'll make it

It's been so long

That sometimes I lose my hope but

Hope it's all not for nothing

Hope I gave it all for something

I can see the city falling underneath the shadows near the metro bus that stays parked

Blinded by the flashing lights, the red and blue ain't nothing nice, so when you see 'em, stay far

I'm nowhere close to peakin', not the one for speakin', turnin' up from time to time

I just had to reach it, started to believe that I could get myself untied
