Don’t Rush Me

Lyrics

[Intro: Jean Grae] 9th, 9th's got them beats that you just sing to for no reason. Sometimes, you got to get to know yourself, you gotta travel a little bit, look at yourself from another perspective, so I try to do that. Come on [Verse 1: Jean Grae] Listen, there's nothing like knowing yourself, like the way I know The smoke has kind of broken my health, like the way I know My flow don't make appropriate wealth. I can't change that But funny I'm saying that when it's money I'm aimed at I don't give a fuck if you frame that or quote it (Shit) I meant what I said 'cause I wrote it—point noted I know I'm overly sensitive when it comes to, well Just about everything, and I'm So hardheaded, I don't need your help, like No advice for these records 'less it's me and myself, like I don't ever wanna breathe if it requires assistance—just Just shut down my system. I'm a victim of Choosing bad love, bad luck Lucy Every man touched seems to be a doozy, and, plus I'm attached to this looseleaf, stand on my two feet So it's hard enough to even have to physically move me Go ahead and try [Hook: Jean Grae] I know I'm on the right path To who I'm gonna be at last, so don't Rush me, nigga (Just try). I know I'm wrong and right At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light And they say, "Life means everything to live" At the same time, I got everything to give Just don't rush me (Hey, get your hand off me, man) Don't rush me (You stupid? I'll cut you) [Verse 2: Jean Grae] I gotta be more disciplined, I'm listening More to straight logic, blocking random shit that's drifting in Age is a motherfucker (Damn right) Find myself staring at the little kids, thinking, "I could beat 'em like a stepmother" Creeping on a come-up of thirty soon, but looking twenty—ooh! The food catches up to you now plenty Attending christenings of my best friend's children And then asking, "Who's next?" And I'm wishing for Six more wishes for Christmas or kids on the wish list Or for time machines to be in existence (Uh huh) I'm a team player—not (Nope) The dry wit is similar to Arizona weather—say it, nigga: hot! Patent-leather soles, tapping at my bowl If the album's not platinum, then I'll have to rack a gold (Shit) This rapping ain't for nothing unless I hold plaques So I can sit up on a boat like Colin, roll that, and you know that [Hook: Jean Grae] I know I'm on the right path To who I'm gonna be at last, so don't Rush me, nigga (Just try). I know I'm wrong and right At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light And they say, "Life means everything to live" At the same time, I got everything to give Just don't rush me (Hey, didn't I just tell you?) Don't rush me (Fall back nigga) [Verse 3: Jean Grae] See, this here is the most serious That I've ever been, the most clear-headed My gear fetish clearly needs an account So if I need, I'll smoke 'em all like Dennis Leary, and I'm out Beef's great though. Thanks for adding more insecurities Just as I was finding my level of maturity Just as I was minding my business, tried to murder Jean's confidence But, lucky for me, you're all incompetent Road block in this, yes. I see 'em trying To put a stop to my obnoxiousness, but I stay long-winded like saying, "George Papadopoulous" I know, but I write from this heart with this, so I've got some things to work on, my moodiness Like masturbation—gets its jerk on My fascination with the fast pace The money's encapsulated in my mind space like, "What a thrill" Past dated, and I know I'm not in last place But it's hard to work through it with this masked face The masking tape above the window keeps the cold out And every time I'm laying down, my back breaks because it's old now I yell too much, get stressed too quick But the best thing about it? I can change that shit And still remain who I came down to Earth to be It's not Jean Grae—that's just a name, you'll see [Hook: Jean Grae] I know I'm on the right path To who I'm gonna be at last, so don't Rush me, nigga (Just try). I know I'm wrong and right At the same time, both—I'm the dark and light And they say, "Life means everything to live" At the same time, I got everything to give Just don't rush me Don't rush me [Outro: Jean Grae] Please don't make me kill you. I don't want to. I don't need to go to jail right now. I got things to do. I can't be locked up, man. My momma! My momma! No, momma! No! No! Anyway. Yo, thanks, man. Thank you, 9th.
