Lyrics:

I been under rocks been under rubble 
all the latest news ain’t in my bubble
every time I turn around I see some some trouble

remember to slow it down 
every now and again 
hold it down 
why you still always 10 
you should slow it down 
every now and again 
slow it down 
slow it down 
slow it on down

there’s a reason we got a limits for the speed  
you go super sonic how you gonna see 
all that you left behind 
and all the love that you left behind 

You gotta slow it down 
every now and again 
hold it down 
why you still always 10 
you should slow it down 
every now and again 
slow it down 
slow it down 
slow it on down

always in the fastest lane 
had to learn the hard way 
who you gonna go blame 
if you go crash and burn
I hope we don't crash and burn

I just left LA bumping some russle 
I be out the way unless we gone hustle 
You know it seems like a jungle
girl you know, that you gotta

slow it down 
every now and again 
hold it down 
why you still always 10 
you should slow it down 
every now and again 
slow it down 
slow it down 
slow it on down

now n again

“The World Is Yours” by Nas made me feel like I could take over the world in real life. I used to stare out my windows, looking over the city, waiting to grow up so I could live those raps. Remember the song you heard when you fell in love for the first time. Mine was “Maria Maria” by Carlos Santana. Or the song that nailed heartbreak. “Where I Wanna Be” by Donell Jones hit me at sixteen and never left. 


Then I heard “Run to the Sun” by N*E*R*D and felt something new. Like I could be inspired by all types of sounds. When I found out Kelis was from Harlem, that was it. Watching her express herself through music, style, and art changed my life.


All that to say, music is still my first love language. It’s been the one constant guiding me. It’s how I communicate. It’s how I show love. When I make these playlists, it feels like a time capsule of what I’m feeling and what life is doing. I’m excited to share the new one.

Lyrics:
You got the keys
You got the cash
You got everything you wanted in your past
Still you want more, baby
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

You got the juice
You got the tea
But is it everything you thought that it would be
Do you want more, baby?
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

Sunny days, I know that…
Everybody love 'em in the Motor City
Top down, silk press, got me feelin' pretty
And the wind blowing my hair
Make them people stop and stare, yeah
I know I make it look so easy and so nice
But what you see and reality
Don't always align
That's why they're sayin'...

You got it made
You gettin' paper
Fortune and fame
Winning the race, huh?
Look where you came from
Diamond in a rough place
Caught up in the chase

You got the keys
You got the cash
You got everything you wanted in your past
Still you want more, baby
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

You got the juice
You got the tea
But is it everything you thought that it would be
Do you want more, baby?
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

They could give me diamonds and pearls but
I'd never be satisfied
And the truth is, with all the attention
The more I just wanna hide
'Cause when your life's under a looking glass
Magnified imperfections
Make you cry for the happier times
Make you start second guessing
But you…

You got it made
You gettin' paper
Fortune and fame
Winning the race, huh?
Look where you came from
Diamond in a rough place
Caught up in the chase

You got the keys
You got the cash
You got everything you wanted in your past
Still you want more, baby
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

You got the juice
You got the tea
But is it everything you thought that it would be
Do you want more, baby?
(do you)
You want more
(do you)

Whoa...
Do you?
Do you?
Whoa...
Do you?
Do you?

You got it made
You gettin' paper
Fortune and fame
Winning the race, huh?
Look where you came from
(do you)
Look where you came from
(do you)

You got it made
You gettin' paper
Fortune and fame
Winning the race, huh?
Look where you came from
(do you)
Look where you came from
(do you)
Caught up in the chase
