J Dilla - Still Slummin' lyrics

[Intro] I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right [Hook] I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right [Verse 1] Took off my work badge, realize I'm back in the hood Like what's good, my cousin called, told me he coming through Like "Yo what up, why you back bruh? See you should be laying tracks with J. Cole and who knows Maybe he sign yo a** See I don't know just how this rap thing go From the looks of it you closer than most n***as that I know Please explain, way I see it bruh, you paving lanes What you don't believe cause boy your songs did some things for me Had me thinking we was trapped, but Lute you set us free n***as stay focused, when it's right for you, it's meant to be Every time I play a song you gain a fan n***a you the man, drop a song, what you waiting on? You in high demand and that's life Only one time to get it right Take a flight, view this world from a different height See this hood still the same, no matter how you view it You got dreams, I just rather you pursue it Just promise you never change, I don't care just how you do it f** them n***as you ain't gotta prove sh** And see this hood still the same, no matter what you doing So for you I empty out a whole clip" [Hook] I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right [Verse 2] As I let the Chevy skate, like Tradewinds back in the day Wish upon these stars like "God, show me that way" Cause ain't no looking back Been in the trap so long, I'm tired of shooting back Keep your eyes peeled, don't let the steel hit you Envy be that b**h that f** the n***as that chill with you That's why I can never trust these n***as Trigger finger itchin', contemplating should I pull it Lost more friends to bullsh** than a bullet Brother Pooh called me up, he told me stay consistent "The fact that you yourself what make you different Like f** the gold chains, diamond rings Keep your eyes on the prize, that don't make a difference Cause you're still a young king without the bling Keep your eyes on the prize, shine on these n***as" [Hook] I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Took two steps back just to get it right [Outro] I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right I'm still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right Still slummin' while I'm chasing life Two steps back just to get it right
