Slow Groove Lyrics - Alwasta - Oddisee

Been on the road for quite some time now 

En route to work is the only time that I wind down 

I feel like Caesar on a quest to make Rome bigger 

I played in trees as a child and could never climb down 

Becoming introspective, I need to be more selective 

I'm way too nice got me feeling bad to ignore a message 

I traded secrets with homies I really thought could keep it 

The Minute I leave and they steal my dreams and they try to sell it 

I can't tell if it's, my fault or theirs 

People being themselves I need to be more prepared 

I guess it's time to tighten up the circle 

Put some notches in the belt for all the weight I've had to shed 

More locks up on the door, a couple cameras in the front 

Yeah I know who you are but what do you want? 

Fool what you want? 

Fool what you want? 

(I'm sorry scratch it like that) 

Fool what you want?

Slow groove 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

I ain't goin' nowhere soon 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

We ain't goin' nowhere 

I've been contemplating drinking and the use of drugs 

My favorite artists do it, they all influence us 

I ain't talking Future but rather older names 

I'm talking Hendrix, talking Davis, talking Marvin Gaye 

They were kings but to the coping they became a slave 

Know that I got it in me don't pass me a shot of whiskey 

Anything I do, I do it the most 

It just so happens I'm rewarded for being extreme 

Applauded workaholic falling asleep in the office 

And I'll never get fired 

Irony, I'm a boss cause I could never get hired 

Ain't got an off switch, therefore my bills higher 

Somebody get coffee, black, single origin like our ancestors 

Oh you forgot cause you tan lesser 

This is me in a jam session cram a lesson in 

Like party now, study in the end 

100 percent

Slow groove 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

I ain't goin' nowhere soon 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

We ain't goin' nowhere 

I'm really good at my job, that's because I understood it's a job 

I'm not interested in coming to your studio or chilling after shows 

I've got to do this all over tomorrow 

I'd rather chill in my home, go out to eat just me and Ziz in the park 

Seldom see me in the streets after dark 

Cept' my name in that mar- quee 

Traded street lights for stage lights 

I'm trying to make a living from art 

Have a life full of love, memories you can not like or remark 

I'm only posting what I'm seeing in parts 

I mean what's more tragic, living in a hyper reality 

Or the the systematic murder of magic 

I'm chasing the wild things and they're becoming harder to find 

In time I'm sure they'll only live in my mind 

But for now I'm on the prowl for the how's 

Leave it all up to chance bruh 

Sometimes I'd rather not know the answer 

But that's just me 

Slow groove 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

I ain't goin' nowhere soon 

I just wanna take my time 

I don't mind the wait in line 

We ain't goin' nowhere
