Listen,
Everyone's bothering, cause everyone bothers me
Everyone's digging me, and everyone's calling me

Everyone's chasing me, everyone's racing with me
I just wanna stay away and stop that wasting me, yeah


Chorus
I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son
I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow

I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son
I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow


My life go slow, my life go slow
All I want is my life to go slow


I sit between trees and beach, the world is like melting cheese
I wish everything could freeze just one day all alone with me in peace
I realize, I start to hide

Reaction spills, and I trance inside
It's a task not to wear a mask and make you believe everyday
That everyday is just a blast


Chorus
I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son

I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow
I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son
I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow


My life go slow, my life go slow
All I want is my life to go slow

My life go slow, my life go slow
All I want is my life to go slow


Talib Kweli:
Livin' in the fastlane, gotta have game
Most of these lames stay Greene like my last name

They filled with envy and they lack experience
Shady, and they act mysterious
Baby, why you act so serious, here's a fun fact

You wanna go clubbin', but I've been there, done that
Maybe if they pay me
Maybe if you bring your whole crew along for the ride

And they all ladies
Otherwise we're just chillin' at the crib, maybe skillin' up a spliff
Maybe chillin' with the kids, two-willin' on the strip

Spittin' to the beat, while I'm buildin' like a brig
Sippin' on a fifth, while I kill 'em with the heat
The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat

I can never see why they don't slow down when life hit the curb
Chill out like you just hit the herb, word


Chorus
I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son
I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow

I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be your son
I just wanna surf the notes and all I want is my life go slow


My life go slow, my life go slow
All I want is my life to go slow
My life go slow, my life go slow

All I want is my life to go slow

My life go slow

All I want is my life to go slow

My life go slow

All I want is my life to go slow
