Slow it down

from Wishful Thinking by Skewby

lyrics

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,
[Break]
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....
