Born Too Slow Lyrics

Just like seventies goofballs
He's waiting on last calls
Well listen to Method Man
'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Born just a little too slow
Just a little too slow

Just a little too
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh just a little too

'Cause if he picks up the wrong kind
You'll know you'll be turning blind
Gun at your head
Lay him down just the wrong way
You know that he's turning gray
Born just a little too slow

Oh your lights are burning too,
Burning too, burning too slow.
Oh your lights are burning too, just a little too.
Just a little too

Your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little to slow

'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Well listen to Method Man

So if you're leavin' him callin'
You know you'll be fallin'
Lights are burning low
Your stars are burnin' gold
Lights are burning low.
Your stars are burnin' gold

Born just a little too

Born Too Slow

The Crystal Method (Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan) wrote the track for this song and commissioned former Kyuss frontman John Garcia to write the lyric and sing on the track. In our interview with Garcia, he said that he was surprised when The Crystal Method asked to work with him, since there wasn't much crossover between their sound and what he did in Kyuss. Garcia, however, has varied musical tastes and was intrigued by the challenge, so he took the gig, choosing this track to work with out of a few that Kirkland and Jordan sent him.

"I like it when I have a personal vendetta with a song, I'll put it to you that way," he said in our 2014 interview . "When I can't fit a lyric or a melody to a song, it becomes a thing with me and I have a relationship with it, and sometimes it wins and sometimes it doesn't win. Well, this one was personal to me and I wanted to see if I could do it. My inner artist was bored with what he was doing, and I just thought it was a challenge."

Describing the lyrical content of this song, John Garcia told us it was "another tragedy about this dude born slow and who got into drugs - just another tragic story."
