Slow Down
Mia X Lyrics

Slow down cause I can't take the heat, slow down (Slow down baby, slow down baby) It's wicked in these streets
The streets are dangerous and overwhelming, so take a moment to slow down and gather yourself.

Life ain't nothing but a big old twist
Life is full of unexpected turns and surprises.

A lot of times when I'm smoking I'm doing that just to reminisce
Sometimes, smoking weed helps me remember past experiences.

It's funny, on how shit be
Life can be ironic and surprising.

A lot of money, make y'all want to come get me
Having money makes me a target for people who are looking to take advantage of me.

But look here, I work hard for all the things I got
I earned everything I have through hard work and dedication.

And to hang with a nigga's just an intricate plot
Hanging out with people you can’t trust is a complicated situation.

You smoke my weed, you try to bang my hoes
People take advantage of my generosity and try to steal things from me.

Bitch niggas don't deserve to kick it with rich niggas
People who are not loyal and trustworthy do not deserve to spend time with successful people.

Nigga we seven figure niggas
I've made millions of dollars.

And we bigger than the biggest hip hop niggas in rap And when we get to spittin' make sure y'all step back You with that? Cause if you ain't clown, We from the D-O double G, we groupie true, and slow down
Our music is bigger than anyone else in the hip hop industry, so respect us and give us the space to perform.

Hey yo Snoop (I used to) I used to cook up dope, ride with niggas Know about the hits, hang with killas
I used to be involved in drugs and crime, surrounded by dangerous people.

Take the broads down for the jailhouse visits Keep my bed warm with a cutthroat nigga
I was involved with criminals who were incarcerated, and I even had a relationship with someone who was violent.

Have the card parties where the stakes was high Go shopping hit the club and then stone em out Never had a day without no drama Half the OG's age, but they call me Mama
My life was full of danger and excitement, with high-stakes card games and wild nights on the town. Despite being older than many of the OGs, I was still respected as a leader.

Had the ganja overstuffed in the hefty bag Orange peels to kill the smell slanging with my dad
I used to transport large amounts of marijuana, using orange peels to mask the smell, and even worked with my father in the drug trade.

I never thought about my life I swear y'all, for real Until my best friend Jill got killed and then I Dropped to my knees and called to the Lord Please change my ways cause I'm living too hard
After my friend died, I realized the danger of my lifestyle and prayed for a change.

And too foul, how I'm gon' raise a child When I'm out here buck wild, damn, I had to slow down
I realized that my reckless behavior was not a good influence on a child, and I needed to change for the better.

Yeah, I slow my roll down to a pimp strut And started putting all this game on records for my come up
I adjusted my behavior to be more lowkey, and focused on building my music career.

From sun up to sun down, I'm trying to get my money Hata's ain't gon' stop me cause haters can't run me
I am determined to work hard and make money, despite the people who try to bring me down.

It's funny when a bitch was livin' foul Every body seemed glad, but now they mad Cause I'm flossing, boss ballin' guilt free And Feds can't take shit from me, so slow down
People were happy to take advantage of me when I was involved in crime, but now that I’ve made it and am successful, they are envious and hateful. But I won't let them bring me down.

I got niggas shot niggas drop niggas for fun I squad from these shoulders, I don't need no gun
I have powerful connections who will do whatever it takes to make things happen, without needing a gun.

But it's the nineties, and niggas don't bump by the end of the round The clown bound to dump, young chump You don't want to get caught up in my mix Cause I'm a soldier, blasting at the rollers, bitch
This is the 90s and people are quick to take violent action. You don't want to mess with me, because I am capable of taking on anyone who dares to mess with me.

We don't never ever, talk no shit Unless we mack that shit up, nigga you get lit
We don't talk trash unless we can back it up, and if you cross us, you will regret it.

Slow your roll tuck your heat and watch the haters
Stay calm and collected, but stay aware of the people who are trying to bring you down.

Slow down (slow down), cause I can't take the heat, slow down (I can't take the heat) It's wicked in these streets (It's wicked in the street) Slow down, (I can't take the heat no more) cause I can't take the heat Slow down (I can't take it) it's wicked in these streets
Again, the chorus reminds the audience to slow down and stay aware of the danger in the streets.

Slow your roll tuck your heat and watch the hatas Slow down slow down Slow your roll tuck your heat and watch the hatas
This is a repeated reminder to stay aware and be cautious of those who wish to do harm.
