(Chorus: Blueprint - rpeeat 2X) Take your time young man Don't you rush to get old Keep it in your stride Live your life, live your life This goes out to everybody, movin too fast You do slow down Yoo many people just runin face first into confrontation Ehen its not even neccesary You need to think about your actions I've ben there I don wanna go back None of y'all - nobody's goin home For I, I try not to walk the beef route But everybody wanna speak out Forgot when I was younger Cats try to knock your teeth out Slap you in your mouth piece Until some blood leaks out As fast as they rolled on you, they will be out Have you bunny hopping fists is Everytime you them a block from your house But you walkin the scenic route I've seen cats take it to the max pull their heaters out But this is rap, so it ain't what it should be about There's a lotta ways we can settle our differences Whatever you choose let me know what your decision is Talk on the telephone or clash in front of witnesses Tweaks swords with sentances until your pride blemishes So you actin like you want it but iknow your frontin Cuz you the type of cat that starts static over nothin With a chip on your shoulder like the world owes you somethin Mad cuz your name got cold and wasnt buzzin slowdown (Chorus) You got an appetite for destruction Cool, we can break bread Whatever you feel, we can break legs I make sure all your dawgs get fed But talk is cheap, and I'm concerned about what ain't said I seen cat's outnumber mine three to one Sellin wolf tickets and thinkin we had won I knew they didnt have to fight like us when we was young Cuz we was chasin them cats down the street when they was done You aint hard cuz you can kill in a song Hard is being a man and admittin you were wrong Hard is be squashin my beef with you Cuz if I dont I might be six feet deep with you It benifits nobody, not me or you You can get got and they can get me too I'm man enough to admit it now, life is changin And we need to slow down (Chorus)
