Goody – “Slow Jams”

Over a refined sample of Justin Timberlake’s “End of Time,” Goody taps into a seamless flow to speak about his self-progression and love language. Furthermore, the rapper possesses clever punchlines and bars throughout the record. The beat is produced by Sake Slinks. 

In hindsight, “Slow Jams” finds the Chicago rapper talking about his leadership tactics, challenging opps to say otherwise. As a result, Goody is prosperous and able to enjoy the finer things in life. He also raps about being a romantic and searching for a woman who’s not afraid to show off her fun side. 

He spits, “I’m the one/Who makes the choice/Who got the say/It’s stick up/And you niggas in the way.” 

Secondly, he says, “I like romance/We could hold hands/You goin me sum baby/This a slow jam/You goin work for these hunnids/I got whole bands.”

Deeper into the verse, Goody uses vivid lyrics to express an intimate conversation between himself and a woman who can give him that “presidential treatment better than the White House.” Given the context, she’s delighted to keep him on his toes. 

He keeps the ball rolling by describing his selfless ways at a fine establishment. He looks past the haters and remains focused on the good vibes. 

Once the second verse comes in, Goody unveils that he’d like to learn about a special lady more personally. Then the ill spitter calls attention to his money-oriented mentality. He refuses to work without getting adequately compensated. The rapper prides himself on working hard for what he has. There’s no such thing as handouts when it comes to the rapper’s work ethic.  

Goody concludes, “If he want a feature /Tell his people I need three budgets/Yeah uh uh kick my feet up/Send me yo deposit/Get the rest before I leave from it/I been self-made from the jump/So I don’t need nun.”
