Slow It Down

Chemicals in my food
Advertisements stuffed inside the places I get the news
Ever take a day off from selling you
Before the coffin profit been steering you
Away from the gold in the sky
Here am I again, wasting ink from a pen, finding sense through a rhyme
Struggle with thin lines
Realizing how pointless the game is while you're in it
You'll shoot different from the line
Coach here I am for another chance
Sorry for caring 'bout opinions of another man
This ain't they wanna hear, this is something bigger than
Sink or swim, then I swam, built a dam, and switched the Chann
Who got time for commercials
Or taking underground roads just to go commercial
Civil rights footage in my head
Dogs, fire hydrants, sacrifice ya life, that's the standard in my circle
Don't ask me why I ride solo
Peace be unto you, just respect my space
I'm writing so my...

[Break]
Now the beat do something crazy right here, hold up

Peace be unto you, just respect my space
I'm writing so my grandkids won't forget my face
My grandmother wasn't taking pictures of her self
So I just sit and ask her what was she like at 28
No lie it wasn't great, Great Depression
And I really complain 'bout car notes, man, life is a blessing
Don't let em lie to ya
They'll watch ya fall just to buy your shoes and tie em for ya
Something bout a snakes nature
Do a small favor and they feel like they made ya
That's why I don't deal with music types, less I can pay em
Coming from a man that's been broke since conception
It's probably safe to say my songs ain't in rotation
It's all patience

[Hook x2]
Slow it down, Slow it down, Slow it down....
