Lyrics Below!
[Kanye West]
My homie Mali used to stay, 79th and May
One of my best friends from back in the day
Down the street from Calumet, a school full of stones
He nicknamed me K-Rock so they'll leave me alone
Bulls jacket with his hat broke way off
And walked around the mall with his radio face off
Plus he had the spinner from his Daytons in his hand, keys in his hand
Reason again to let you know he's the man
Back when we rocked Alieses, he had dreams of Caprices
Drove by the teachers, even more by polices
How he get the cash the day his father passed away
Left him with a lil somethin, 16 he was stuntin'
'Al B. Sure' nigga with the hair all wavy
Hit Lakeshore, girls go all crazy
Hit the freeway, go at least bout 80
Boned so much that summer, even had him a baby
See back back then then if you had a car
You was the Chi-Town version of Baby
And I was just a virgin, a baby
One of the reasons I looked up to him crazy
I used to love play my demo tape when the system yanked
Felt like I was almost signed when the shit got cranked
We'll take a Saturday and just circle the mall
They had they Lincoln's and Aurora's, we was hurtin 'em all
With the girls alot of flirtin' involved but dog..
Fuck all that flirtin', I'm tryin' to get in some drawers, so
Put me on with these hoes homie
He told me, 'Don't rush to get grown, drive slow homie'
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Drive slow, homie
(Drive slow)
You never know, homie
About these hoes homie
You need to pump your brakes and drive slow, homie
[Verse 2: Paul Wall]
What it do?
I'm posted up in the parking lot, my trunk wavin
The candy gloss is immaculate, its simply amazing
Them elbows pokin wide on that candy 'Lac
Trunk open, screens on, neon's lit with 5th relaxed
I'm on a mission for dime pieces and sexy ladies
Allow me to introduce you to my CL Mercedes
It's a star-studded event when I valet park
Open up my mouth and sunlight illuminates the dark
You see them 4's crawlin, you see them screens fallin
The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin'
I'm leanin on the switch, sittin crooked in my slab
But I could still catches boppers if I drove a cab
A young Houston hard-hitter all about the scrilla
Ridin' somethin' candy-coated crawlin' like a caterpillar
I'm tippin' on them 4's, I'm jammin' on that Screw
I'm lookin' for them hoes baby, what it do
[Chorus: Kanye West (GLC)]
Drive slow, homie
(Turn your hazard lights on when you see them hoes)
Drive slow, homie
(If you ridin' around the city with nowhere to go)
Drive slow, homie
(Live today, cause tomorrow man, you never know)
You never know, homie
Might meet some hoes, homie
You need to pump your brakes and drive slow, homie
[Kanye West]
My car's like the movie, my car's like the crib
I got mo TV's in here than where I live
[GLC]
And that don't make no sense, but baby I'm the shit
And everything I flip, you know it's somethin serious
I got the custom grill, I got the Brabus rims
I got the baller genetics baby this evidence
You see a player flickin', and how you ain't convinced
That you should go on and kiss it, just a lil bit (just a lil bit)
I wearin my custom kicks, I got my Jesus chain
My canary's is gleamin', through my angel wings
They see me, hoes actin' like they seen a king
With that mean lean, smokin on that finest Cali green
My woodgrain oak, I'm ridin on Vogues
My cylinder quiet, like tip-toes
I sold O's, and this I know
When you see them hoes, lil homie drive slow [echoes]
[Tony Williams harmony ad-libs]
[T.I.]
Lookin' at the life through my rearview, all the problems I had
Could be seen alot clearer after time had passed
Known for livin' so fast, they wonder how he don't crash
With 220 on the dash, he constantly mashin'
(Why don't he slow down?) They be constantly askin'
But me in the fast lane is like metal and magnets
Now I ain't tryna say that it's the way of the masses
But it, so hard to change, I love this shit with a passion
Since me and Sigel cuttin' classes, showin' our ass
Shootin' out in broad day in the middle of traffic
I remember sellin' crack faster than I could bag it
Just sharing my past with you shorty, I ain't braggin'
Me and Cap got life, some other folk got blasted
Had a partner OD'd and after this all happened
It's like the only thing that kept a pimp from cryin' and laughin'
And the Lord smiled on me at the end of the madness
I never thought that I'd make it this far rappin'
For introducin' the youth to what we now call trappin'
Considered now a classic, who'da imagined?
Me in Milano, gettin' models in next year's fashions
So nowadays, they can call me old fashioned
But it's way too much cash to see blue lights flashin'
So I guess the moral of this here class is
Life about who make it now not about who make it the fastest
Drive slow homie
Dri, uh dri slowly
One of the most slept on songs in rap history. So great but too many people don't know this version
Update: this version is not the one on the album, and it's also not on spotify. Most people only know the version without T.I.
Bablo boat took this vibe
For fucking real fam. The “just a lil bit” line was a subtle diss to 50 btw
@@sultanjelle9168 nice
Nah, facts. I ain't even know Tip was on this til a few years later when YT started popping like after Soulja boy blew up.
Big ole factz this my ish
My favorite Paul wall verse ever , the disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin
Dat nigga Paul was hard fam 🔥
I could still catch boppas if I drove a cab
That’s my favorite line . Chills hit the arms every time . Main reason why always come back to this song
"Its a star studded event when I valet park, open up my mouth and sunlight illuminates the dark." ... Damn son... That line was fire.
Fire
On every gang I know 🔥
Ok. Shut da fuck up now
@@kantopikachustrainer123 What's with the hate, bro? Did you have a bad day and decide to take it out on a stranger?
@@davidramirez8767 He literally woke up the next morning and decided to hate on someone 🤦♂️
Paul Wall bodied this track
GLC murdered this too
Derek Barrero I don’t think so... I mean his rhymes were good but he clearly didn’t understand the topic of the song and that’s one of the things I hate about features
Like butter
He did im from Texas but I feel like he say the same shit just a different way to many time in the same verse🤷♂️
Nah Tip did
paul wall is one of the best rappers and underrated to ever touch the game with the sick flow and delivery that nobody can copy
From that swishahouse
10 years later and you are still absolutely right.
Paul let it known he tippin on them 4s and jamming on screw
"A young Houston hard hitter all about the skrilla riding something candy coated crawling like a caterpillar" That's gotta be one of the hardest lines ever put on a track ever.
paul walls verse is immaculate
Some say simply amazing
Or : "a star studded event "
kanye = catchiest verses
paul wall = best verses
ti = most poetic verses
Walls verse was easily one of the best in that era.
"The disco ball in my mouth insinuates im ballin'"
Who the hell could've thought that up....
Thumper17 fuckin Paul wall that’s who haha
For real that line is still bumpin in 2020
@@goldenboyx92 Bro I'm nearly 29 now and when I posted this I was 17. Talk about necrobump. Lmao.
@@Thumper17 wow
@@Thumper17 you still bumpin kanye? Good to hear 🔥
PAUL WALL KILLED THIS TRACK!!!!! love that he posted up for the lone star state!!!
Texas!
I just started bumping this again in 2023. It's like breath of fresh air. This song sounds better than a lot of what's out right now. Kanye and Paul Wall's verses on this song are pure fire!
Real Talk!! Same bck on it!motivation music Allday!! T.I SLAYED IT🔥2023.........
Just like the video version of Good Life, I don't know why Kanye didn't put this version on the album. T.I.'s verse deserved to be on Late Registration for the last line alone: "life about who make it, not who make it the fastest." damn.
That verse is actually what made me go back to listen to this song this morning lol
T.I's verse is dope, but it just didn't fit the ethos. Drive slow homie... when you see them hoes.
This was a last minute verse by TIP because he just got out of jail at the time. That's why it's not on the album. This and the Lupe- Superstar Remix verse
rolaz productions Type “4 Vogues” in TH-cam Fya!
Smilin' Dro Frazier Type “4 Vogues” in TH-cam Fya!
"A young Houston hard hitter, all about the scrilla, Riding some candy coated crawling like a caterpillar" fuckin AWESOME!
allow me to introduce to my CL Mercedes.
Lyrical Assassin Underated asf
This is so criminally underrated its gut wrenching
paul walls verse... damn that was nice!!!
Are you still alive?
12 years later and that verse still hits
This was only 3 years old at the time of this comment. Damn
Paul Wall will forever be legendary for this one
Who stopped by in 2024 to listen to this nostalgic master piece😭💯
Still driving slow💪🏽💯💯🔥
I need more hip-hop like this, the kind that is easy to vibe to. Kinda Jazzy, really mellow with smooth as butter flows. If I could get a playlist like this id never go to sleep stressed. Ever in my life.
There’s a older hip hop song with the same sample it’s called Anything Is Everything by The Dynospectrum
@@Kaasboerderij it was sampled even before that on the Slim Shady EP. Search Eminem - “No ones iller”
@@s2005mcc it was sampled even before that by 2Pac. Song is called “Shorty Wanna be a Thug”.
@@thefaxxman it was also sampled by j.cole in "dreams"
Selfish by slum village
Nappy Roots first two albums
Undun by the roots
Ridin dirty ugk
City of syrup by big Moe
Electric relaxation by tribe called quest
Any big Krit album
This is one my favorite songs off all time.
Man totally forgot about this track until I saw a Paul Wall interview today, its a classic!
Actually came here bc of I saw the interview today 😂🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Same here!
Yep, same!
Haha same. I think we all got recommended that. Ty TH-cam algorithm you did good this time.
✋
I feel like this song should have gotten way more recognition. Love it : )
Type “4 Vogues” in TH-cam Fya!
Paul wall came thru haaaard..🔥🔥🔥..He said “The disco ball in my mouth insinuates i’m ballin”...
T.i. verse was one his best 🔥🔥
Still bumping this in 2022
No matter what Kanye does now. This track will always live on.
Yup
This is music right here. Soulful, dirty south. From Chi-Town to H-Town to the ATL. We need more like this
Unfortunately they don’t make music like this anymore
@@ahmadjohnson9518 yea bro I agree. Everything is like RnB now loo
It should be a crime that TI didn't have his verse on the album. It's between him and Paul Wall for killing this the hardest.
2005-06 was a special time for hip hop moving on from 90s hip hop.
This was the last few dope yrs in rap
Almost forget, sometimes. Listen to this, and remember, " Oh yeah, he's famous for a reason!" Real serious talent, is Ye.
Omm
Late Registration is one of my favorite albums. Ye is a genius not only in rap,but in music as a whole.
Im glad I grew up during this period of rap. 🙏
Yes likewise
Me too 💯
this the kanye i love right here
T.I one of the hardest... across all eras 🇬🇧
I haven’t heard this song in 15 years and yet I remember the lines.
we all do, this song is great
Sheesh
@@shuan-ma do you
This the only place to find the version with TIP.. let's pray they never take this video down
It's on the deluxe version of TI's King album but finding that is hard.
Facts bro
Kanye knows how to unite different styles of artist and make a dope song...
Paul Wall makes this own track. Unreal verse. 🔥. 2020 my car tune
T.I. verse was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legendary track, this version needs to be on spoti. Ti snapped
“I’m posted up in the parking lot my trunk waving, the candy gloss is immaculate it is simply amazing”🔥🔥🔥
Everybody went hard on this even TI
Mann!!!! Like you said everybody went hard but I lightweight end up here for TI verse😂😂🤝🤝💯💯 “Looking at life through my rearview, all the problems I had
Could be seen a lot clearer after time had passed
Known for living so fast, they wonder how he don't crash”
Full version is insane. T.I. line is so underrated
This song is better than the last 8 years of hip hop. T.I.‘ s is exactly the way I want to here him. So fire.
Paul Walls flow was fire. Definitely the star of this track 🔥🔥🔥
Tupac - "Shorty Wanna Be a Thug"
Thank you uncle tupac✊🏾✊🏾
Crazy sounds dope
Thank Hank Crawford's Wildflower
Yep
Bro I could not remember where that beat came from I appreciate ya bro
paul wall is an amazing rapper.
the words just flow.
i dont think he gets the recognition he deserves, at least not around here.
T.I and kanye, too, but everyone knows that (:
nice song.
12 years later in 2020 and this song still hiting. This is poetry
More than 12 years
2023 💎
2023. One of the most underrated and under appreciated songs in rap history this song is a masterpiece
“Looking at life through my rear view all the problems I had. Could be seen a lot clearer after time had passed.”
I never heard the TI verse holy shit he murdered this shit
Yeah they used to cut this part on 106
@@user-zj7xo8gt6t and it’s not on the album cause I’ve listened to Late Registration a million times I would’ve heard it
It's impossible to not bob your head to this song.
Paul Wall's interview w Bootleg Kev brought me back here a decade later ... Life has moved fast, but we still 'Drive Slow' homie
my dad said this was the first song i seemed to have recognized from being a kid. I’m proud that it’s ye
T.I.s best verse....ever. Paul Wall's too.
I like kanye west cus his songs aren't about how he is going to kill me and fuck my girlfriend.
+TheRoshan89 hahahahaha! best comment i seen in a while ma nigga! hahahahaha
"The moral of this here class: Life is about who's making it; Not about who's making it fastest" - Drive slow homie
That Part 💯🔥
TIP SNAPPEDDDD
another underrated hip hop song
The most slept on song in rap
Paul Wall’s alliteration is crazy.
Forever a classic and anyone that had Comcast digital cable years ago remember the music choice sign in the corner of the screen 😂😂💯
Bruh this is STILL one of my favorite songs of all time! Not just hip hop but EVERY genre of music, this is one of the top! KANYE n TI flamed this!!! 🔥💯
I said this years ago and I'm still saying it to this day. Kanye had the best verse. Excellent story telling
best cruising and thinking song-also T.I kills it like always
Type “4 Vogues” in TH-cam Fya!
Weird his verse wasnt on the album cuz i think this was when ti n jayz had there little beef bout him using his voice on bring em out but idk
@@barbarapaparella2282 Tip and Jay never had beef lmao they real good friends
@@barbarapaparella2282 Tip was actually locked up when the album originally came out
My dad used to play this when i was a kid😭💗
T.I. owned this song hands down. "Life about who make it, not who make the fastest." That line summed up the whole song perfectly.
The song is about thot s and ballin. TIs line is heavy hitting, but he misunderstood the assignment.
@Chris Cooks what I'm saying pull walls verse hits differently
Nah; Paul Wall did and im black too fam Paul killed this
TI was the weak part of the song. He got carried and bodied by everyone else
@@martinhelmbrecht3248 you ain’t never lied! I was thinking the same thing
THIS kanye is Longggg gone!🥺
T.I. really made this song a classic!! _😁😁😁💯💯💯💪🏾
T.I. ate this track up.
It's 2023 and this is still considered a classic
“Why don’t you slow down? That’s what they constantly asking but me in the fast lane is like metal and magnets” Goddamn TIP
2023 almost 2024 and still listening
Paul Walls verse is easily one of the greatest and smoothest bars ever
Paul Wall went crazy on this 🔥🔥🔥
the disco ball in my mouth insinuates in ballin is one of the hardest line oat
Tip ate it
Here after watching the 85 South Show. Had to run this classic back 💯
Sammee
This came out spring 2006 and was a sleeper hit in my opinion.
Paul Wall’s word play is krazy asl he definitely slept on
TI snapped
“Now a days they can call me old fashion but it’s way too much cash to see blue lights flashing”
- A grown man
Late Registration is Kanye West greatest album ever he has and never will top it
When I get a car this is definitely gonna be on the aux 💯🔥
Bro Do Y'all Know how Iconic this Song is and they won't even give us a clear Original Video we need A Kanye Archive how many Primes he's had
Easily one of the best songs I've ever heard. Everything about this song is on point. Beat , lyrics , flows and the combination of all the guys on this.
TI is the only one who got the theme
Top 10 features ever
TI dropped them jewels and life lessons.
Tip verse is crazy 🔥🔥🔥 i remember😪
Tip snapped
this song was the anthem to roll around with your crew. I was 17 when this came out, even if we didn't find anything to do we could bump this all night and cruise
Kanye story telling is amazing ppl say he's crazy but who not crazy in there own way
Kanye tellin a story about growing up in Chicago
Paul Wall taking u on a slow ride through H Town
TI tellin his story about transitioning from a young trap nigga in Atlanta to a rap celebrity
Remember the year right before social media took hold. This was a good one
“I remember selling crack faster than I could bag it” & “Introducing the youth to what we now call trapping”🔥🔥T. I.
The video was made to perfection, even the colors. Cruise through city at night with this playing.
This song is so calm and ambient
Nice slow beat, one of the best songs on Late Registration.
TIP went in hard!!!!
“Way to much cash to see some blue lights flashing” TI snapped 🔥
Paul Wall is legendary
T.I. Murdered this shit🔥🔥🔥
