Slip Away
Sicknature Feat. Coolio Lyrics

I'm a menace to those
I am a threat to those who speak negatively and don't acknowledge my skill

Who talk shit and not mention the flow
Those who insult me without acknowledging my talent

I gas it up then it's a go
I prep myself and then act

Until the wheels fall off engine explodes
Until I can't go any further

Every months' paycheck got a few O's
My salary has a good number of zeros added to it every month

To the damn Matrix got a few new foes
I have made enemies within the system

Every second I got, I try to live me up
I live every moment to the fullest

The harder the work the better the odds
More hard work means increased chances of success

I intend to rock the truth and sell
I plan on staying true to myself while still making profit

And not go prostitute myself
I won't compromise my values

Fuck if that's stressin' me
I don't care if it's causing me stress

Clock tic tocs and it's too late to bring back yesterday
Time passes quickly and we can't undo what's already happened

So I invade your playlist
I want my music to be in everyone's playlist

Make kids turn it up and wake the neighbors
I want my music to be loud and energetic

And take the numbers that create the matrix
I want to break the rules and make my own way

And get them placed on my paychecks
I want to make money on my own terms

What!? let's go.
I'm ready to get started

Life can easily be gone
Life is fleeting

And I don't wanna
I don't want to waste it

I don't wanna let it slip, away
I don't want to let it pass me by

Let's rattle
Let's make the most of it

You love every single second that comes
Appreciate every moment of life

Cause I don't wanna
Because I don't want to miss out on anything

Yea baby launch the word
Let's spread the message

I survive the ride every bump and curve
I persevere despite the challenges

You know why?
Because I do things differently

Cause I don't do like them
I don't follow the crowd

That's why sick gonna do it again
That's why I will succeed again

And I won't sit and wait
I won't wait for opportunities to come to me

Won't let the moment slip away
I won't let opportunities pass me by

Confidential gettin' ripped today
I'm going to make a big impact

Coming to a hood near you
I'm going to make my presence known

Get a clear view
Pay attention

Who is that dipping in the six in ya rear view
Who is in that car behind you

It's that loca used to be a smoker
It's me, the former smoker

But now he's got a dime on his shoulder
And now I'm successful with a beautiful partner

And he's a soldier
And I'm strong and resilient

The price of fame
Fame comes at a cost

And the pressure of the game
It's difficult to succeed in the industry

Went may for the week in the membrane
It has affected my mental health

So I'm staying the hay
So I'm staying humble

Cause brother has changed
Because success has changed me

Mad at me coz' I'm rollin on a trip of fame
People are envious of me because of my fame

Grab your pen and grap your paper
Get ready to take notes

Grap the heater off the table and pull that caper
Get your gun and prepare to rob someone

Stack your chips up and save some for later
Save your money for the future

Do me a favor and watch your neighbour
Keep an eye on your community

If you got a problem then bite like a ghetta'
Be assertive and take what you want if necessary

Show him you know sheep
Show them that you are not someone to be messed with

Show him you got teeth
Show them that you are powerful

Show him you don't sleep
Show them that you are always working

Tell him you're pu mardi
Tell them that you need to be respected

And they gotta break bad if they wont believe
They'll regret it if they don't take you seriously

Don't sleep
Stay alert and be prepared
