作曲 : Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr [Intro] Yep, I need money everyday Like a junkie need ******, you know what I'm saying And I'm a junkie And that's my fix, money You know what I'm saying I need it everyday
[Verse 1] Nas like the [?] 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, y'all 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 Let's throw a nickel at the wishing well rappers Watch it sink to the bottom, and I wish 'em all happiness I'm in the cut, attention needers need to front, see 'em front The world watching them shine, that's all they want And I always get my cut, imagine that making you mad I'm just a real version, they don't make 'em like that Never had to get the youth to relate for the bad And since they smarter than us, they know Nas was once their age Made their 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, that's the custom carrier Let's 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, I'm up in smoke like the chronic Disappear and reappear right in front of your optics [Chorus] Let's slow it down Was I moving too fast for you? Let's slow it down then If you gotta slow it down I won't laugh at you Let's slow it down, slow it down Was I moving too fast for you? Was I moving too fast for them? Slow it down Let's slow it down
[Verse 2] Upon closer inspection They really are non-threatening I bomb first then I stretch 'em Instigators causing these problems, that's why I question Everything and everybody that's aiming in this direction That's why I sound like I been spending time in the spa Thinking about the days I first heard "I Became a Star" Words from my A&R, I'm noticing that they notice me Gun and a mean mug, and was slow to speak Now I hold means 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] Let's slow it down Was I moving too fast for you? Let's slow it down then If you gotta slow it down I won't laugh at you Let's slow it down, slow it down Was I moving too fast for you? Was I moving too fast for them? Slow it down Let's slow it down
[Outro] I might be moving at lightspeed I landed icy in Iceland to sightsee This long week gon' be pricey I might perm up my shit like I'm Ice-T American pimp, I'm on timing Only thing that I pimp is this rhyming I made that work for me back since the 90's That's a daily affirmation to remind me I might be moving at lightspeed To do what I'm doing's unlikely This new urgency perfectly hurting 'em Send these suckers to emergency nightly (Slow it down)
