Slow Burn

It's a slow burn And you gotta work yeah And it's gon' hurt yeah But it's gon' be worth it So just keep on working Cause it's a slow burn it's a slow burn But it's gon' be worth it It's gon' be worth it yeah Cause like I said luck is just when opportunity meets preparation And love is when cooperation meets dedication And bliss is when we realize self medicating ain't equivalent to meditation It's a slow burn it's a slow burn Just like the spliff that we rolled up and we about to burn We ain't like these others When I was younger I used to stutter Now I pronounce every verb like no other (I swear) Now I go out everyday hoping he don't pull me over Searched the whole damn car just to find wraps and well of course the motor Right around my building I swear he be doing laps over and over So most likely we gon pass and he gon pull me over Just a young kid in a 08 Benz with a dent in the door I don't know how to prevent this shit (Oh) But its a slow burn (Oh) And you gotta work And its gon' hurt So I try to say cool when I'm stressing Cause I've seen a few switch without no question So nowadays I keep no new friends present I used to have a full circle but now it's more like a crescent Like who you impressing Point them to the exit Like I sorry only got room for me and mines I hope you get the message Cause like I said luck is just when opportunity meets preparation And love is when cooperation meets dedication And bliss is when we realize self medicating ain't equivalent to meditation Yeah and I'm hoping and praying I make it Cause if not then I'm forced to face it Only so many chances in this life So I got no choice but to take em Cause I know gon I'm make it if I try So I'm spending every breathing moment of mine chasing it Cause it's a slow burn And it's gon hurt And lessons gon be learned And people gon be leaving you deserted Saying you ain't even earn it Once they see the work was finally worth it Yeah they gon say you never deserved it Even if you deserved it It's a slow burn And you gotta work yeah And it's gon' hurt yeah But it's gon' be worth it So just keep on working Cause it's a slow burn it's a slow burn But its gon' be worth it And that look can be quite suggestive Talking bout how my possessions impressive Go do some shit just to regret it Yeah it's time we dead it You know where this headed Bad habits I shedded Bro said word been spreading I said let it Just forget it Fed up with it I had enough Ain't no more time to bluff Ain't nothing else to discuss It's a slow burn And you gotta work yeah And it's gon hurt yeah It's a slow burn And you gotta work yeah And it's got' hurt yeah But its gon be worth it So just keep on working
