Slow
B.o.B Lyrics

It was Slow Doe then it sped up. It was Slow Doe: it was it was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe then it sped up. It was Slow Doe; it was It was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe then it sped up. It was Slow Doe: it was it was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe Then it sped Up. It was Slow Doe: it was it was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe then it sped up. It was Slow Doe; it was it was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe then it sped up. It was Slow Doe: it was It was Slow Doe. It was it was Slow Doe then it sped up.
The pace of my progress was slow at first, but then it accelerated. It was a gradual process, but eventually, things started to pick up speed.

From Mickey to Conti I tripled my profit; difference was Back then, I could keep it in my wallet. As a man I know that You gotta pay yo bills; 200 like 400 when you got no bills. My Pockets shoulda been on swole like corn bread; it's easy to save When you don't gotta spend your own bread.
I went from making a small profit to tripling my earnings. Before, I could easily keep the money in my wallet. But as an adult, I understand the importance of paying bills. Even though $200 may seem like $400 when you have no bills to pay, I should have been saving more money. It's easier to save when you don't have to spend your own money.

Coulda been a stick Up kid to rob you; instead, I chose to be a member of the 2 job Crew (Yeah!) Coulda been Crip dog, coulda been Piru; instead, I Chose to murder tracks like I'm Ja Rule. Listening to Rakim makes Me wanna Flow again; come through with verses cleaner than Custodians. That was my mom's job since 2000, that's how she Provided I'ma keep it 1, 000 (Real talk) that's how she kept my Stomach from growling
I could have resorted to crime and robbery, but instead, I decided to work two jobs. I could have joined gangs like Crips or Piru, but instead, I focused on perfecting my music and delivering powerful verses like Ja Rule. Listening to Rakim's music inspires me to flow with exceptional skill, delivering cleaner verses than even custodians are able to clean. My mother has been working as a custodian since 2000, that's how she provided for me. I will always keep it real and show gratitude for how she kept me fed and satisfied.

From 08' to 17' I witnessed my growth; started off with flat Bread, now I'm making a loaf. While you on the clock work seems Like it's never gettin' done; waiting On that first check takes forever Son (Uh!) From makin' checks low enough to tempt insanity; to Gettin' benefits to take care of my family (That's right!) From being Picked up to driving, I've been on both sides; from havin' our own Whips, to losing both rides (Whatchu know bout that?) Very few Things should come between a man's mission, but so many jobs Fell between this transition. Even though I looked the part, I wasn't Movin' no Weight; I was dead broke on my birthday with no cake (Yeah!) Used to dream of havin' more orders than a server, I flip Tires Now back Then I flipped burgers; from Being dead broke Dog, to being a splurger
From the years 2008 to 2017, I have witnessed significant growth in my life. I started with very little money, just enough to afford basic necessities, but now I am making a substantial income. While you are working, it always feels like there is an endless list of tasks, and waiting for that first paycheck seems to take forever. I used to make such low wages that it could drive someone insane, but now I receive benefits that help support my family. I have experienced both being unemployed and finally being able to drive, but unfortunately, I have also lost my cars along the way. Many different jobs have come and gone during this transition period. Despite looking successful, I didn't have any significant financial resources. I remember being completely broke on my birthday without even a cake. I used to dream of having more customers than a server could handle, but now I focus on flipping tires rather than burgers. I have gone from being broke to being able to splurge and enjoy the finer things in life.

(For the haters!) I got people in my biz I'm the topic of discussion, EP Ain't dropped yet; I'm already buzzin'. To see a brother fall dog, that's What they be lovin'; little do they know I get money like it's nothin'. It's Gone be the same even if I get fired; hated by some by others I'm inspired Probably mad at me, by their lady I'm admired; these cats been hatin' so Long they should be tired. To be the greatest for the longest I've aspired I'ma be established before they retire; If Flame is on the beat, then the Track is on fire. You say I ain't the truth in the booth, then you a liar; new Kid on the block, far too fresh to expire. Don't be surprised if you see me On a flyer; my future will prove everything I said prior
For those who dislike me, I have people discussing my business and making me the center of attention. My EP hasn't even been released yet, but the buzz around me is already strong. Some individuals enjoy seeing others fail, but little do they know that making money comes effortlessly to me. Even if I were to get fired, my situation wouldn't change much. Some may hate me, but others find inspiration in my success. Perhaps they are mad at me, but their significant others admire me. These individuals have been hating on me for so long that they should be tired by now. I have always aspired to be the greatest for a lengthy period of time. I will establish myself before they retire. If Flame, a talented producer, is involved in the creation of a song, then it is guaranteed to be a hit. If you claim that I am not speaking the truth in my rap verses, then you are simply lying. I am a new artist on the scene, and I am too fresh to fade away. Don't be surprised if you see me featured on a flyer or poster. My future will prove that everything I have said before is true.
