Slow Down Lyrics


Yea, hey I'm the man right, so I think I'm goin' live it.
Since my mother birthed me, I've only been exquisite.
And I was on the grind, while you was getting the digits.
Got this down to a science, you would swear I'm livin' physics.
But my life is different.
What good is the success if the happiness is missing?
3:30 I am dismissing, any competition, cause I gotta eat.
You show me a rapper, that's someone I gotta beat.
And most people red shirt, cause they can not compete.
Think and my wingspan says anything's in my reach.
When Atlanta was poppin', BMF with Big Meech.
I was stuck in the school, I was more than they could teach.
But slow and steady wins the race.
Thought I was hare, but I'm moving at a tortoise pace.
And that's what I prefer, so get a cup and mix it up and let it go down.
I know now, that life feels better when you slow down.
[Hook:]

Slow down, man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
I know it now, wish I knew it then.
Diminished returns, I burned through a few of them.
Remember when I was in the position you were in.
Shit would be different if I had it all to do again.
Oh, to be new again.
Young upstart, from the rough parts, tryna make his dreams come true again.
I watch goals disappear while pursuin' them.
Seen cats capture the flag, then let it ruin them.
A grasshopper tryna learn kung fu again.
It's deja vu, livin' shit I've been through again.
A little word from the wise, remain true within.
This is from a boss, look it where the roach crew has been.
Yea, it's true I've got the soul of an old town.
And real talk, that what come around, go around.
Before the drama gets too large to hold down.
It's in your best interest, to try to slow it down.
[Hook:]
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Hey, I'm sorry I took long, you prolly could swell me sooner.
And let me take the time out to dispel the rumors.
Chiddy Bang still here, keep it rollin' like a victim in a wheel chair.
I'm tired of everybody that be gossipin'.
They wanna know if we be makin what we be profitin'.
Snoop Dogg, now-a-day's I sip a lot of gin.
And at this altitude I'm kinda lower oxygen.
Maybe I need to breathe.
It's all or nothin' when you nothin' at all.
That's the reason I'm so excessive when I'm up in the mall.
Why it's takin' so long, I got cribs to get.
And don't I lay my plot down like arithmetic.
I said I done it here, and south money's here.
I was born to do this, you don't need to check my Punnett square.
So get a blunt of what you want and let it go round.
I know now, that life feels better when you slow down.
[Hook:]
Slow down, man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
Man I gotta slow down.
There's way too many friends, that gossip will go around.
I wish I woulda knew then what I know now.
But for now, life feels better when you slow down.
And I'm a make it to the stars with the bars.
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz.
I know gettin' a job is always gonna be hard, but for now, we goin' plot to take over the world.
And I'm a make it to the stars with the bars.
Yellow brick road, my life the Wizard of Oz.
I know gettin' a job is always gonna be hard, but for now, life feels better when you slow down.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Chad Butler (December 29, 1973 – December 4, 2007), better known by his stage name Pimp C, was an American rapper and producer. He was one half of the influential hip-hop group UGK.

Chad Lemon Butler was born in Port Arthur, Texas. There he met his friend, who would later become Bun B and together they formed the Houston-based rap group UGK. They rapped 'underground', until they both made a deal with Bigtyme Records. Pimp worked hard on the first UGK project, The Southern Way, which was avaliable in 1988 and on casette only.

It wasn't until 1992 that UGK really broke through into the hip hop/rap world. Jive Records signed them and they released Too Hard to Swallow. Pimp worked hard with Bun B for a while, until going on a hiatus in 1996, where the group would not work. In this time Pimp was aware that UGK's fans were slowly slipping.

Pimp C contributed to several tracks, until UGK came back on top by guest starring in tracks, such as Big Pimpin' and Sippin' on Some Syrup. Pimp C and Bun B came back with Dirty Money in 2001, but the album failed both critically and financially.

As Dirty Money was going through problems, Pimp was faced with even more problems. Pimp C was incarerated for an aggravated gun assault charge in 2002. People cheered the catch phrase "Free Pimp C". During this time Bun B lived on the UGK name. Jive Records was forced to release a greatest hits for UGK and Bun B was forced to go solo, as Pimp C was locked up.[1]

Rap-A-Lot Records signed Pimp C, while in prison he released his solo debut Sweet James Jones Stories. Bun B also released his debut, which Pimp C slightly contributed to. Finally, on December 30, 2005, Pimp C was released from prison and was on parole until December 2009.[2]

Pimp C guest starred in many people's songs and contributed to artists, such as Slim Thug and T.I.. After that he started working again with Bun B on tracks for their upcoming UGK project UGK (Underground Kingz), which would end up being their most successful project of all time, in either artist's careers.

Pimp C released two solo albums.

4 months after the release of UGK (Underground Kingz), Pimp C died. On December 4, 2007, Pimp C was found dead at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, California, after Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call. The department arrived at his sixth floor hotel room to find Pimp C dead in bed. This was three days after Pimp C performed with Too Short at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.[3][4]

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office state Pimp C died from an accidental overdose of Promethazine/Codeine "syrup" mixed with a pre-existing medical condition, sleep apnea, which causes a person to stop breathing during sleep.[5][6]

After his death, he made posthumous appearances on Bun B's song "Underground Thang" (also featuring Chamillionaire) from II Trill and much later, an as-of-yet untitled track which is to be featured on Chamillionaire's third album Venom. The latter track is produced by Pimp C, making this his last production credit.

The final UGK project, 4 Life will be dedicated to Pimp C and his legendary Houston-based rapping style. Many people have shown respect to Pimp C, including David Banner, 8Ball & MJG, Rick Ross, Bun B, Slim Thug, T.I. and Lil Flip.
