Lyrics

Twenty-two, thirty-four

I pray

Yeah, please believe me, I pray

Uh, Lord Lord, I pray

Believe me, believe me, I pray

Listen, ayy

I pray that you still hear me

The walls are closing on me

Just wanted to feel you near me

Forgetting the testimony

I heard that fateful night

Thought evil was coming for me

And you showed up in my dreams

Spoke to James just to show me

Remember them dark days

You sent me to pick up Tony

Keep him out of the trap

Yeah, that was my lil' homie

But then I never went back

Tony caught a felony, man, man

Pain can push you to regret

And think about the few missteps

The secrets that you kept

The lies that you told

The liquor on your breath

The poison that you sold

The garments that you stole

I swear I got chills when you told

That's my word

This world so cold

Men betray souls just to hold a few cents

To show up in the morgue with a hole and no sense

It's so dense, intense, hence

When strangers enter the fold I play the fence

Until they hit the fast break, out of control

Rather risk the charge than to give in and go

And getting over fast, but the methods are slow

Them boys down bad, so it's all that they know

Is filling brown paper bags just from moving the snow

But then them blue and red lights get behind them and glow

And now they life is on ice, man, you reap what you sow

Man, in twenty-two years, this is all that I see

Yeah, the man amongst my peers, what I'm wanting to be

But he got twenty-two years, it coulda happened to me

I heard this voice, evil's near, when you see it, you flee

And slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down)

Twenty-two

Me and you, under stars and the moonlight

Candle lit, table set, and the mood right

I remember telling partners that I'm making you wife

I received a laugh 'cause in my past I didn't move right

I just wouldn't do right

Temper short, say I need a new height

Approaching twenty-two, when I grew, got a new life

Threw away my contacts, now I got that true sight

Saw the pain, I gotta do what I gotta do, right

Got down on one knee and looked you right in the face

And said that boy from twenty-one, yeah, he being replaced

I mean, it's kinda bittersweet 'cause I'm loving the chase

But can you find it in your heart to finally slow up the pace?

And while you searching through your heart, hey, I'm needing a place

For the love that God gave me, can you find it a space?

Now we back under the moon and the stars, the world is ours

And fun here is forever, we ain't willing to break

It's twenty-two

At twenty-two years, man, it's all that I see

Is her coming down the aisle and she staring at me

A better man than my past is what I'm praying to be

It was I for twenty-one, now you dealing with we

And at twenty-two years, look, it's all that I see

Is her coming down the aisle and she staring at me

A better man than my past is what I'm praying to be

It was I for twenty-one, now you dealing with we

So slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Twenty-two

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down, slow down)

Slow up, slow up (Slow down)

It's twenty-two

It's twenty-two

It's twenty-two

It's twenty-two

It's twenty-two
