Lyrics
There's no rush
Emphasizes the absence of urgency or pressure.
Don't sweat the hold up
Advises not to worry about delays or obstacles.
I'll take the whole month, if I want
Expresses the freedom to take time as needed.
Who knows how long
Reflects uncertainty about the duration of a situation.
"At onces" not once from now on
Rejects the idea of immediacy, opting for a gradual approach.
Go at my own pace
Stresses the importance of moving at one's own speed.
Have patience ladies and hombres
Encourages both men and women to be patient.
All praises due
Acknowledges and gives credit where it is due.
Book of life, skim pages through

Expresses loyalty and dedication from the outset.

If it ain't funny I don't laugh

Yo I'm the last one that you wanna hear from

I'm about to see whose sternum is a firm bone
Announces an intention to assess the strength of others.
Jonwayne is the best
Praises Jonwayne as the best, specifying the region of origin.
Not the one from the Westerns, the one from the West

Far as the rest they either stepped up and repped him or read them and wept
