akil pratt verse:

Getcha bets settled, know that I don't mud wrestle/
won't pocket-check you wondering 'bout where the real fans at/
you can tell by the mail, Zelle, and the Cash App/
and who took their time to put their numbers into Bandcamp/
I'm forever grateful to the faithful Paypals, and I say, "thank you"/
but being reduced to panhandling I can't do/
especially with utilities, loans from the bank due/
sent a beat pack out, but I ain't tryna chase you/
Understand that with my presence I ain't gotta grace you/
tryna get some free labor, but ain't that what slaves do?/
you out of you cotton pickin' mind/
pat you on your back, while they be robbing niggas blind/
I want the cheese, but got to deal with house cats and mouse traps/
cold world like it's ten below/
gotta stop biting my tongue/
I worked for FedEx for twelve years, so it ain't nothing for me to push an envelope, but...

Chorus:

Ya slowing me down, yeah, ya slowing me down (repeat)

K1NG ELJAY verse:

Ladies and gentlemen, Häagen-Dazs flows, here's the scoop /
Redefined The REDEFINED, to cut some ideas loose /
Needed a different canvas to properly flex my tools /
L1TEWORK, but every plug needs an outlet with some juice /
Know in the past the static's what I been attracted to /
Shocking to think the fuse in my brain could've blew /
Now I look and laugh and keep on walking past, I'm amused /
Drinkin liquor to create or stimulate as a muse /
Ain't really the safest way, but I can't chase after you /
Love you man, but understand I'm doing what I have to do /
Got these ideas that gotta manifest so I can't fool /
with you if you chasing vices, your mental is apt to lose /
hopefully you hear this verse and know you had one in your crew /
that truly cared but God's got you so now I just have to move /
I just feel sad for you, you aint even have to choose /
nerds got you bout to perish but I think I always knew...
Best of luck to you and you...
