Lyrics
Been on the road for quite some time now
Expressing the duration of being on the road
En route to work is the only time that I wind down
Finding relaxation during the commute to work
I feel like Caesar on a quest to make Rome bigger
Feeling ambitious, likening oneself to Caesar building Rome
I played in trees as a child and could never climb down
Reflecting on childhood memories and adventures
Becoming introspective, I need to be more selective
Acknowledging the need for more thoughtful choices
I'm way too nice got me feeling bad to ignore a message
Feeling guilty for ignoring messages due to being too nice
I traded secrets with homies I really thought could keep it
Sharing secrets with friends, realizing some betray trust
The Minute I leave and they steal my dreams and they try to sell it
Experiencing dreams being stolen after leaving
I can't tell if it's, my fault or theirs
Uncertainty about fault in personal or others' actions
People being themselves I need to be more prepared
Recognizing the need to be prepared for people being themselves
I guess it's time to tighten up the circle
Deciding to tighten the social circle
Put some notches in the belt for all the weight I've had to shed
Acknowledging personal growth by shedding weight
More locks up on the door, a couple cameras in the front
Increasing security measures in life
Yeah I know who you are but what do you want?
Questioning others' intentions despite knowing them
Fool what you want?
Repeating the question "Fool what you want?" for emphasis
Fool what you want?
-(I'm sorry scratch it like that)
-Fool what you want?
-Slow groove
Expressing a desire for a slow, deliberate approach to life
I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-I ain't goin' nowhere soon
-I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-We ain't goin' nowhere
-I've been contemplating drinking and the use of drugs
Contemplating the use of substances influenced by artists
My favorite artists do it, they all influence us
Reflecting on extreme dedication to work and its rewards
I ain't talking Future but rather older names
-I'm talking Hendrix, talking Davis, talking Marvin Gaye
-They were kings but to the coping they became a slave
-Know that I got it 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 being extreme
-Applauded workaholic falling asleep in the office
Highlighting workaholic tendencies and challenges
And I'll never get fired
-Irony, I'm a boss cause I could never get hired
-Ain't got an off switch, therefore my bills higher
-Somebody get coffee, black, single origin like our ancestors
Referencing cultural identity and heritage
Oh you forgot cause you tan lesser
-This is me in a jam session cram a lesson in
Describing a balance between enjoying life and studying
Like party now, study in the end
-100 percent
-Slow groove
Reiterating the desire for a slow, deliberate approach to life
I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-I ain't goin' nowhere soon
-I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-We ain't goin' nowhere
-I'm really good at my job, that's because I understood it's a job
Emphasizing commitment to the job and personal priorities
I'm not interested in coming to your studio or chilling after shows
-I've got to do this all over tomorrow
-I'd rather chill in my home, go out to eat just me and Ziz in the park
-Seldom see me in the streets after dark
-Cept' my name in that mar- quee
-Traded street lights for stage lights
-I'm trying to make a living from art
-Have a life full of love, memories you can not like or remark
Aspiring to a life filled with love and meaningful memories
I'm only posting what I'm seeing in parts
-I mean what's more tragic, living in a hyper reality
Questioning the impact of living in a hyper-reality
Or the the systematic murder of magic
-I'm chasing the wild things and they're becoming harder to find
Pursuing elusive and magical aspects of life
In time I'm sure they'll only live in my mind
-But for now I'm on the prowl for the how's
Being open to uncertainties and leaving things to chance
Leave it all up to chance bruh
-Sometimes I'd rather not know the answer
Preferring ignorance to certain answers
But that's just me
-Slow groove
Repeating the desire for a slow, deliberate approach to life
I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-I ain't goin' nowhere soon
-I just wanna take my time
-I don't mind the wait in line
-We ain't goin' nowhere
