Story behind the song
Prior to 2008 I had been living in Baltimore City with Low Thyroid Disease for 4 years undiagnosed.. I had lost dexterity in my fingers and my skin was yellow, doctors kept telling me I had liver disease. In 2008 I was properly diagnosed and medicated, so I sold my truck and moved to New Jersey. I began playing my MV-8800 again and scratching and rapping again. Wrote the songs Bottom Feeder and Slowburn While I was there. It's amazing what the truth can do for you, stay out of free clinics if you can. Pay Cash.
Lyrics
Well I don't like to think, about what if, cause if I did, I'd never do nothing at all. Because what I know, from where I been, I don't really wanna go back again, cause the chances of me living ain't that strong. Well I ain't the man I used to be, and I might be better off. But the world ain't changed they still doing the same and it's all for the common cause. They wanna get high, so fast, can't even do the math. Well I'm here for the slow burn, baby gonna make it last. Well the more you work, the more you pay, and the cost keeps going up everyday. So you can stay on the bottom where you belong. They want better schools, better jobs, better, better, never stops. The rich stay rich while you punching the clock. But you might as well punch yourself, cause you don't like what you got. They want high class, more cash, wine in they glass, modern luxuries, cause they hate they past, like the love of they life that made them mad. Now they get high, so fast, can't even do the math, well I'm here for the slow burn, baby gonna make it last.. We got food money, gas money, drug money, funny money, everybody money hungry, make something for them dummies. Rent money, play money, spent money, pay money, short term, long term, gonna make it stay money. Petty cash, heavy stash, rainy day, make it last. Somebody make money, Government is taking half. Gold mines, bottom lines, you get yours, and I get mine, so you plot and you plan, mastermind a crime, getting over on the man, now it's money all the time, In your hand doing fine, to the end of the line, until it's never enough, so you never give up, until they all catch up with you, now you outta luck.
