Slow Down

Man, you're like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"
Neither going nowhere, homie you can't go there, if you slow down
We aint tryna be you, we don't even see you. Man, slow down
Cause you like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"

The moral of the story of the "Tortoise And The Hare"
Is, they both had need to finish, and the means to get them there
But the rabbit had this habit of slackin' off with his time
Too cocky to be watching who's been walkin' up behind
And I think he listened too much to the rabbits by his side
Saying that "you the real", and "them others aint got it right"
And the rap game, be the same, with this frame of mind
And its apparent that, that arrogance is leading to its demise
You cant divide up, and side up, and try to throw that
A kingdom cant stand if its soldiers are gonna show that
Look, I know your passion, man I feel you, I know that
But your zeal's got you claimin' that you "real", like you own that
The shame is, what you claimin' aint sellin' it
You failing even leaders, and deceiving just for the hell of it
You build upon the sediment, definition of "elements"
But your prejudice, is only evidence, that you're irrelevant

Man, you're like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"
Neither going nowhere, homie you can't go there, if you slow down
We aint tryna be you, we don't even see you. Man, slow down
Cause you like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"

You blame the weather, you blame it on luck
You blame it on the radio boy, you blame it on love
Your timing is off, you're still blaming the clock
You're still blaming the gates, you should be breaking the locks
This game is in fast forward, not in slowmo
Rotating, back and forth na parang yoyo
You gotta be quick, parang hinahabol ka ng popo
Takbong parang nahuli ka ng esmi mo sa Sogo
Para kang suso sa ibabaw ng pagong
Buraot na sa kangkong ang lakas pang mambulong
But I get you man, you just cant keep step
But you cant blame this cat for that
You can throw me on fire, you can flush me on ice
You should call me a vampire, "rapskallionized"
If I deserve an "F" (Fail) sign man, that'll be fine
But throw me a high five cause I'm still keeping it live

Man, you're like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"
Neither going nowhere, homie you can't go there, if you slow down
We aint tryna be you, we don't even see you. Man, slow down
Cause you like a snail on a turtles back, yelling at the cat "slow down"

You build upon the sediment, definition of "elements"
You build upon the sediment, definition of "elements"
You build upon the sediment, definition of "elements"
Your prejudice, is only evidence, that you're irrelevant
