Burn Slow
Los ft Wiz Khalifa Mickey Shi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the past burn like the ash burn
I remember last time they said this was my last term
But paths turn and directions changed
And we know respect has changed and perspectives changed
Some niggas respect the game, some niggas neglect the changes
Fuck it, I accept the blame
I feel it's foolish to lecture lames
For all the****that we was never told
We probably poor cause they said good names was better than gold
And I'm willing to bet it in gold
That I'll never change for all the chains embedded in gold
She felt that any type of warmth was better than cold
Cause nowadays just being comfortable is better than growth
I mean who gets who better than Los
But those who yet to succeed feel they better than most
It's like they disagree with history
Let's pretend this is isn't me and just agree to disagree
They dissin' me, I distance me
Persistently consistently
Assisted by the****in the swisher
Nigga watch it...
[Hook: Mickey Shiloh & Los]
Burn slow, burn slow
And when you burn it baby, burn it baby, burn slow
I hope all your grindin' pay off and turn to dough
I hope your niggas never snitch and turn to po'
I hope your biches is faithful and never turn to hoes
I hope when you roll that****and light it's burning slow
Cause when it's burning baby, when it's burning baby, burn slow
[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
Take a look at me, you gone****around and see success
Admire how I dress, know I'm smoking on the best
On my way up, got my cake up
I remember them long night I had to stay up
In the chronic, I was just hustling
A young nigga out here tryna make something from nothing
Nothing is was niggas gave us so I put both of my chucks in
Making sure promoters pay us, making sure labels gon' slave us
Now my merch fill up trucks, Perrier-Jouët fill our cups
I hear 'em talk but they don't walk, they're haters, they don't want what
I'm from a place where paper talk so you should shut the****up
Pounds I blow those, real niggas I know those
We ain't cut across no roads me and my niggas...
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Los]
Y'all niggas running in places, I'm running the place
I question some of your greatness, I summons the greats
Must I include that I conclude what you come to debate?
Cause you come to degrade, but you never come to the bank
You find comfort in rink, I'll find you, and come for your rank
Like how the****you play tough but don't come to the paint
I ain't brushin' niggas off, I'm comin' to paint
Just tryna double my cup and lean niggas like cups full of drank
Drink it, slowly homie, don't OD like an OG told me
My Rollie was forty, Bodie you don't know me, I roll with rollers and riders
Riders, yeah, we 'bout it, 'bout it, yeah
And by the year, 2013 I got a lot to hear, it's a lot of scared
Niggas cause they dealin' with they feelings, but they dealin' with a villain
I'mma kill 'em cause they chillin' and I never get no sleep nigga
If it ever gets so deep nigga, I'mma never get to know these niggas
Know me nigga, I'm dope like a whole key nigga, you a ho not a homie nigga
You bitch niggas can't hold me nigga, so it's back to old me nigga
King...

A young nigga out here tryna make something from nothing
I was a young man trying to make a name for myself
Nothing is was niggas gave us so I put both of my chucks in
We weren't given anything, so I invested everything I had
Making sure promoters pay us, making sure labels gon' slave us
I make sure we get paid by promoters and labels
Now my merch fill up trucks, Perrier-Jouët fill our cups
My merchandise is selling well, and we're drinking expensive champagne
I hear 'em talk but they don't walk, they're haters, they don't want what
They talk but don't act, they're haters who don't want what I have

Me and my friends never switch up
Y'all niggas running in places, I'm running the place
You guys are trying to keep up, while I'm in charge
I question some of your greatness, I summons the greats
I doubt some of your accomplishments and seek inspiration from greats
Must I include that I conclude what you come to debate?

You find comfort in rink, I'll find you, and come for your rank
You're happy being mediocre, but I'll make sure you're held accountable
Like how the****you play tough but don't come to the paint
You talk a big game but don't back it up
I ain't brushin' niggas off, I'm comin' to paint
I'm not ignoring anyone, I'm taking action
Just tryna double my cup and lean niggas like cups full of drank
I'm just trying to increase my earnings, while others are wasting their time
Drink it, slowly homie, don't OD like an OG told me
Drink it, but pace yourself and don't overdo it
My Rollie was forty, Bodie you don't know me, I roll with rollers and riders
My Rolex cost $40,000, you don't know me, and I hang out with tough guys
Riders, yeah, we 'bout it, 'bout it, yeah
We're serious about our lifestyle
And by the year, 2013 I got a lot to hear, it's a lot of scared
In 2013, I had a lot to accomplish, and many were intimidated by me
Niggas cause they dealin' with they feelings, but they dealin' with a villain
Some people let their emotions control them, while I remain unfazed
I'mma kill 'em cause they chillin' and I never get no sleep nigga
I'm going to outwork them and be successful while they're taking it easy
If it ever gets so deep nigga, I'mma never get to know these niggas
If it gets too intense, I won't waste my time getting to know my competitors
Know me nigga, I'm dope like a whole key nigga, you a ho not a homie nigga
Know who I am, I'm valuable like an entire kilogram of drugs, while you're not a reliable friend
You bitch niggas can't hold me nigga, so it's back to old me nigga
You weak people can't control me, so I'll revert to my old ways
