Slow Lane Essam Muhammad (Ft. FACESOUL)

[Chorus: Essam]
I live my life in the slow lane
Tryna understand love but I gotta know pain
I live my life in the slow lane
If I wanna meet my goals, can't be living this way
I live my life in the slow lane
I see some brothers acting shady for a little bit of change
I live my life in the slow lane
I keep my distance if you living for that personal gain

[Verse 1: Essam]
Not worried if you talking throwing dirt on my name
Even if you show hate, I would never do the same
Life is never smooth but I never complain
I always kept it cool like the wind when it rains
Not tryna be the person who I was yesterday
Tomorrow is not promised so I focus on today
I'm putting all this work but that's only for the pay
I'm tryna find the keys to break free from these chains
My pen is like a light, and so my poetry is flames
Gives me sight in the dark while I'm sitting in my cave
Isolated from the city, I don't wanna be a slave
To the money and the power living in the fast lane
Can't be a puppet to the man, I'm in control of my reign
I would never sell my soul for a dollar, I'm the same
Ummi said "you're rich son if you got faith
And you can't know ease if you don't know heartache"
Yeah yeah, MasseOne
