SLOW AS YOU CAN FREESTYLE Lyrics by DOMINIC FIKE
I’m gonna leave
And I’m gonna hurry
Just, just as slow as I can
You found someone else (Yeah, yeah)
I can (You recording?), I know I can’t stay (Yeah, yeah, hey)
Yeah, R.I.P to Dolly P
I worked a 9 to 5, but it was not for me
I used to blame a sneeze on a fake disease
Made up 5’3, letter agency
Know I wan’t it all on some A to Z
‘Cause I been through it all like I’m Tracy T
What a way to make a livin’
Could’ve stayed in school, I could’ve painted pictures
Could’ve moved to Paris, could’ve traded stocks
Could’ve joined the cause, could’ve been accountant
Workin’ for your mom, huh, but nah
Yeah, rich kid finds meaning inside my suffering
The mission is to try to meet you there without stumbling
But I fell in love with a Jolene until I turned green and turned a new leaf
She told me, “I will always love you”
I said, “You barkin’ up the wrong tree”
Hopped up out the whip, it all pink like I’m Killa Cam, like I’m Dolly
I had an auntie named Marcy like Jiggaman
And she taught me, “Respect your mom, don’t let no fly fugazi fuckboy get the drop”
Like, never, dawg, don’t rest your mind
‘Til you lay down and rest with God
From the other side, we gon’ scream and cry, tellin’ stories ’bout you when you was alive
After nighttime, when it’s bedtime, we gon’ sleep without you
We gon’ dream about you
‘Cause I’m gonna leave
And I’m gonna hurry, just
Just as slow as I can
I just work real hard, I’ve been as poor as anybody could be
So I had everything to gain, nothing to lose
So I just kind of work without fear because it’s fun for me
It’s like if I fail, it’s no big deal
If something don’t work out, I’m not afraid of failure
Because to me, I never feel like a loser
You know, even when I’ve lost, I still feel like I’m winning because I’m earning some sort of experience or something that I can use somewhere else, but
But I have a good attitude, I work hard at being happy
Gotta— you know, you gotta work at, at that too
But, I, I enjoy my life, I enjoy people
And I’m happy I get to make a living at what I like to do
