[Intro: Pimp C]

Cory Mo

What's happenin'?

Mike Deanski (Uh)

Sweet Jones

I see a lot of niggas in this rap game, man (Uh, I see you)

Niggas movin' too motherfuckin' fast (I see you)

Y'all niggas need to slow down (Down)

Know what I'm talkin' 'bout? Hold up

Niggas poppin' pills, sippin' Barre, smokin' fry

And God knows whatever else, uh

Niggas on that Malcolm (X)

You know, like the nigga Breeze said, man, the hood gon' catch up with you, man

You know what I'm sayin'? (They gon' catch you up)

Play with this crew, you know what I'm sayin'?

[Verse 1: Pimp C]

I'm deep up in the city with the hoes showin' ass and titties (Titties)

I'm a ghetto star and the game's a pity (Pity)

'Cause most niggas get took by the street fame (Street fame)

And they can't hold on to they spot in this dirty game

I see a lot of niggas sign record deals (Deals)

But they fall off 'cause them niggas wasn't real

But I've been in this thang since '92

Gettin' my money, doin' what the hustlers do

Through the wars, havin' no cars

Goin' to jail, rappin' behind bars

Puttin' it down with Bun B

When we was broke out on the streets (Streets)

Trying to come up on a motherfuckin' Swisher Sweet (Swisher Sweet)

I used to sell weed (Weed), then I sold crack (Crack)

I used to ride in an old-school gold 'Lac ('Lac)

Fleetwood with chariot lights

I sold that bitch to that boy Mo, that's why we come down at night (Come down at night)

[Chorus: Pimp C]

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Verse 2: Pimp C]

'Cause now I drive the big Benz (Big Benz)

And spend big money with my motherfuckin' hustlin' friends

I don't buy the O, I buy the quarter pound

I'm talkin' indo, nigga, I lay these bitches down

What's happenin' out in LA? (LA)

When I'm out there with the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. 'cause that's how I play (That's how I play)

And I'm hollerin' at Yuk and C-Bo too

I hear what you're sayin' and I'ma do what y'all wanna do

'Cause fuck niggas need to get hit up (Hit up)

Bitch niggas don't deserve no truck (Truck)

Snitch niggas don't deserve to fuck (Fuck)

Nigga outta luck (Luck)

That's why your records ain't sellin' and you're stuck (Stuck)

You need to slow down (Slow down), before somebody hit you up (Hit you up)

Need to slow down before somebody fuck you up (Fuck you up)

You need to slow down before it come to get you

Hit you in your wig and ain't nothing to split you

[Chorus: Pimp C]

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Verse 3: Cory Mo]

You see, this rap game is more than just rhymes and beats

It's designed to make money, it starts in the streets

A lotta niggas don't follow the rules and end up losin'

Way before they time 'cause their records ain't movin'

Better slow down and rethink your strategy, nigga (Strategy, nigga)

Hell, I'm still payin' dues, you can't be mad at me, nigga (Be mad at me, nigga)

I ain't lookin' for no handouts or lookin' for no friends (Uh-uh)

My brother always told me, "Nigga, go and get your ends" (Yup)

So that's what I'ma do, it's the honest-to-God truth

I'ma stay up on these beats and I'ma stay off in that booth

So all you niggas hatin', waitin' for me to fold

I'm 'bout to shift to another gear and pass you hoes (Skrrt)

On the cool, I ain't nobody's goddamn fool

And just like you pack tools, nigga, I do too

So in case you never knew, nigga, you know now

What you ought to be tryin' to do is on the real is slow down

[Chorus: Pimp C]

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin'— talkin' 'bout?)

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

[Outro: Pimp C]

Slow down (Slow down), know what I'm talkin' 'bout? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)

Hold up (Uh, uh)

Slow down (Uh)

Get your mind on your money 'cause your money sign records, pussy nigga

Nigga

Nigga

Hold up, pussy nigga

I hear you actin' bad on that bass over there, my nigga

That shit funky, man

Huh

Let this shit ride out, you heard me?

Yeah, like that
