[Chorus: Essam]
I live my life in the slow lane
Tryna understand love but I gotta know pain
I live my life in the slow lane
If I wanna meet my goals, can't be living this way
I live my life in the slow lane
I see some brothers acting shady for a little bit of change
I live my life in the slow lane
I keep my distance if you living for that personal gain
[Verse 1: Essam]
Not worried if you talking throwing dirt on my name
Even if you show hate, I would never do the same
Life is never smooth but I never complain
I always kept it cool like the wind when it rains
Not tryna be the person who I was yesterday
Tomorrow is not promised so I focus on today
I'm putting all this work but that's only for the pay
I'm tryna find the keys to break free from these chains
My pen is like a light, and so my poetry is flames
Gives me sight in the dark while I'm sitting in my cave
Isolated from the city, I don't wanna be a slave
To the money and the power living in the fast lane
Can't be a puppet to the man, I'm in control of my reign
I would never sell my soul for a dollar, I'm the same
Ummi said "you're rich son if you got faith
And you can't know ease if you don't know heartache"
Yeah yeah, MasseOne
[Chorus: Essam & Faisal]
I live my life in the slow lane
Tryna understand love but I gotta know pain
I live my life in the slow lane
If I wanna meet my goals, can't be living this way
I live my life in the slow lane
I see some brothers acting shady for a little bit of change
I live my life in the slow lane
I keep my distance if you living for that personal gain
[Verse 2: Faisal]
Slow down, for father said to me "don't rush now"
You're moving too hasty, just slow down
The pressure always builds on you (x2)
Slow down, I know it feels a lot but hold on
The pressure reaches the top, just slow down
Finally you'll find your way (x2)
[Chorus: Essam & Umi]
I live my life in the slow lane
Tryna understand love but I gotta know pain
I live my life in the slow lane
If I wanna meet my goals, can't be living this way
I live my life in the slow lane
I see some brothers acting shady for a little bit of change
I live my life in the slow lane
I keep my distance if you living for that personal gain
[Verse 3: Umi]
People screaming devil when they've only seen your horns
A rose's beauty's always guarded standed by his thorns
Want to be the guy they like, shining out your heart
So I can see the soul is crying hiding in the dark
So let's switch lannes
