N.O.R.E. - Slowly Surely lyrics

rate me

ft. City Boy Dee

I used to hustle late in night

In the cold with the frostbite, hot like exhaust pipe

Hands holding all white, I look at the real life

I still hustle and grind, I sip white wine

I’ll be up at night time thinking how the fuck I’ll get dope

Through these pipe lines, the truth I don’t write rhymes

I get them higher than the white lines

I ain’t getting money, nigga, I ain’t in my right mind

I done served everything trying to find the right grind

…

Find 7 with me, I ain’t talking about really

Big pistols, it’s a semi and it ain’t shit you can tell me

With the big homie, I ain’t talking about Diddy

I killed, all these niggas looking silly till they get smoked like a Philly

Niggas getting happy ‘cause they had a couple of orphans

Since ‘98 , nigga, I had my own office

Big body business mark more with caution

I’m dirty and too gorgeous

And everything is flawless I can give a fuck what the cost is

Niggas still fucking with the raw shit

Fresh out of Boston, came from them housing apartments

Slowly, surely

Slowly, surely

In LA I met…split a little kush and just a white portion

Then I hate the W and rest with a coffin, I do this shit often

Bad bitches text us

Next stop Austin, got to stay cautious

Having 3 sons with these bitches and they’re gorgeous

Take them…you can have ‘em if you want it

Slowly, surely

Slowly, surely

Live a hustler’s dream, fake nigga nightmare

You show the pictures in a diplomatic…

I put the Mac to your chest, give you quite a scare

But city boy D, it’s time to leave the streets alone

But down the fingers, nigga, put down the chrome

Get this legal money, you can buy your moms a home

Slowly, surely

Slowly, surely

I be tryna stop, know I can’t win

Neither jail or the box, all this work got me hot

I don’t know about the cops

I don’t make moves without a Glock …

Now the shit felt the same when my new song dropped

I can turn this soft to a real whole rock

Coming from where I’m from, that’s a real hard block

N.O.R.E. tell me chill then for real I’ll stop…

My city needs life so I’m coming with a lot

I be rocking for the Gs, I ain’t talking about a watch…

If you niggas really listen I ain’t got to say I’m hot

Slowly, surely

Slowly, surely
