[Intro]
~#**************#~
Yep, I need money every day
~#**************#~
Like a junkie need heroin, you know what Im sayin?
~#**************#~
And Im a junkie, and thats my fix, money
~#**************#~
You know what Im sayin?
~#**************#~
I need it every day
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Nas like the Nazca Lines, can only be seen from up high
~#**************#~
Only the true understand me but I see em as family
~#**************#~
I saw the shit when I was fourteen, I counted on it
~#**************#~
I was born a don with a powerful poignant style they wanted
~#**************#~
Never dissing for clout, yall know what this about
~#**************#~
Niggas tryna deflect from the fact people sort of fizzle out
~#**************#~
The people saw them try to make hit songs that went wrong
~#**************#~
This about the money, right? ‘Cause all that shit done been gone
~#**************#~
Lets throw a nickel at the wishing well rappers
~#**************#~
Watch it sink to the bottom, and I wish em all happiness
~#**************#~
Im in the cut, attention needers need to front, see em front
~#**************#~
The world watching em shine, thats all they want
~#**************#~
And I always get my cut, imagine that making you mad
~#**************#~
Im just a real version, they dont make em like that
~#**************#~
Never had to get the youth to relate for the bag
~#**************#~
And since they smarter than us, they know Nas was once they age
~#**************#~
Made they pay grade, the youngster phase
~#**************#~
Same mistakes though times have changed
~#**************#~
Trying not to touch the cage but touch interior
~#**************#~
In the front is the trunk, thats the custom carrier
~#**************#~
Lets play a game, I hand you a king of diamonds
~#**************#~
The hand is faster than the eye, check in your pocket
~#**************#~
I snap my fingers, Im up in smoke like The Chronic
~#**************#~
Disappear and reappear right in front of your optics
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down
~#**************#~
Was I moving too fast for you?
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down then
~#**************#~
If you gotta slow it down, I wont laugh at you
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down, slow it down
~#**************#~
Might be moving too fast for you
~#**************#~
Was I moving too fast for them?
~#**************#~
Slow it down, lets, lets slow it down
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Upon closer inspection
~#**************#~
They really are non-threatening, I bomb first then I stretch em
~#**************#~
Instigators causing these problems, thats why I question
~#**************#~
Everything and everybody thats aiming in this direction
~#**************#~
Thats why I sound like I been spending time at the SPA
~#**************#~
Thinkin bout the days I first heard I Became a Star
~#**************#~
Words from my A&R, Im noticing that they notice me
~#**************#~
Gun and a mean mug and was slow to speak
~#**************#~
Now I hold meetings over cold sake and kobe beef
~#**************#~
Hockey jersey, a hoodie underneath
~#**************#~
Set up the trust, support the trustee
~#**************#~
Corporations is the modern day custies
~#**************#~
My flow is the hard substance, mastered it, Bernie Grundman
~#**************#~
The stove top and oven, my company going public
~#**************#~
I see the puppets, they moving like they the judges
~#**************#~
But Nas and all his subjects is hard for you to catch up with
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down
~#**************#~
Was I moving too fast for you?
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down then
~#**************#~
If you gotta slow it down, I wont laugh at you
~#**************#~
Lets slow it down, slow it down
~#**************#~
Might be moving too fast for you
~#**************#~
Was I moving too fast for them?
~#**************#~
Slow it down, lets, lets slow it down
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
I might be moving at lightspeed
~#**************#~
I landed icy in Iceland to sightsee
~#**************#~
This long mink gon be pricey
~#**************#~
I might perm up my shit like Im Ice-T
~#**************#~
American pimp, Im on timing
~#**************#~
Only thing that I pimp is this rhyming
~#**************#~
I made that work for me back since the 90s
~#**************#~
Thats a daily affirmations to remind me
~#**************#~
I might be moving at lightspeed
~#**************#~
To do what Im doings unlikely
~#**************#~
This new urgencys perfectly hurting em
~#**************#~
Send these suckers to emergency nightly
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
(S-slow it down)
