Slow Groove

Been on the road for, quite some time now And route to work is the only time that I wind down I feel like Caesar on a quest to make Rome bigger I played in trees as a child and could never climb down Becomin introspective I need to be more selective I'm way too nice, got me feelin bad to ignore a message I traded secrets with homies I really thought could keep it The minute I leave and they steal my dreams and then they try to sell it I can't tell if it's, my fault or theirs People bein themselves I need to be more prepared I guess it's time to tighten up the circle Put some notches in the belt for all the weight I had to share More locks up on the door, couple cameras in the front Yeah I know who you are, but what do you want? Fool whatchu want, fool whatchu want? Slow groove, I just wanna take my time I don't mind to wait in line I aint goin nowhere soon (2) I been contemplatin drinkin and the use of drugs Favourite artists do it, they all influence us I aint talkin Future, but rather older names I'm talkin Hendrix, talkin Davis, talkin Marvin Gaye They were kings, but the copin they became a slave Know that I got in me, don't pass me a shot of whiskey Anything I do, I do it the most It just so happens I'm rewarded for bein extreme Applauded workaholic fallin asleep in the office And I never get fired, irony I'm a boss Cause I can never get hired Aint got a off switch Therefor my bills higher Somebody get coffee, black, single or?? Like our ancestors Oh you forgot cause you tan lesser? This is me in a jam session, cram a lesson in like Party now, study in the end, 100% (3) I'm really good at my job That's because I understood it's a job I'm not interested in comin to your studio or chillin after shows I gotta do this all over tomorrow Rather chill in my home, go out to eat just me and? in the park Seldom see me in the streets after dark 'Cept my name in that Marq - uis Traded street lights for stage lights I'm tryin to make a living from art Have a life full of love Memories you cannot like or remark I'm only postin what I'm seein in parts I mean what's more tragic Livin in a hyper-reality or the systemmatic murder of magic I'm chasin the wild things, they're becomin harder to find In time I'm sure they'll only live in my mind But for now I'm on the prowl for the hows Leave it all up to chance brah Sometimes I'd rather not know the answer, but that's just me
