Slow down

Slow down

Slow down...

Slow down

Slow down

Slow down..

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I spent my days in the sun, with my shirt off

I fell in love with the dirt, in the sand box

There stood some skinny black boys, with some skateboards

Ridin' with my homies though, seen the world before us go

Eenie meenie miney mo, police picked 'em off the road

Which ones is they lettin' go

Pick and choosin' who achieve they purpose, who won’t make it home

The fear in my family weighs on my soul

But the essence of peace lies in what they don’t know

Yea, yea, just send me to bed, school in the mornin' and did it again, yea

But I wasn't there, I was still present, but not in the head, yea

I wanted escape, I ask the Lord for it, he said be careful what you pray for, uh

World so cold feel, like I can’t feel my face no more

Sun shine down on me, take me back to Jericho (Oh, oh)

I need to re up on my calm-ity for heavens sake

I really need to take time to sit and meditate

She told me mindfulness will come to me, if I slow down

Slow down

Slow down

Slow down...

Slow down

Slow down

(Slow down)

Momma.. keep holdin' me

Let the water runneth over me

Ooh I said the truth is in rain

Ooh so won’t you wash my fears away

Ooh, ahh

I been all alone tryna find my way

Always holdin' on to the things I can’t change

Lotta shit on my mind that I prolly won’t say

If you hit me, I'mma slide, but you know I can’t stay

With you it was different, but we knew it, would eventually end the same

I wish you wouldn’t try to, pull me back to, feelin' like I can't escape

I got some new pillows, baby we can lay on it

In my New Eras, I just hope you pray for me

Feel like they preyin' on me, feel like they preyin' on me

'Cus I got heart and they tryna take it from me

I got my chains on, no stains on me

I be explorin’ new highs, when I lay low

I’m tryna find consistencies between these different seasons

Lookin' for direction in the crossroads of reasons, oh oh (Oh oh oh)

The dirt under my feet, catchin’ me

If I don’t stay afloat, I’mma sink

I be in the car so long, like limousines

The suns out, it’s blacked out

My mama say come home before its dark out

She say, baby your take your time when you on the way

Cheesecake, waitin’ on the table, case you haven’t ate

She say, you movin’ too fast, boy you need to slow down

Slow down

Slow down

Slow down...

Slow down

Slow down

(Slow down)

Momma.. keep holdin' me

Let the water runneth over me

Ooh I said the truth is in rain

Ooh so won’t you wash my fears away

I been all alone tryna find my way

Always holdin' on to the things I can’t change

Lotta shit on my mind that I prolly won’t say

If you hit me, I'mma slide, but you know I can’t stay

With you it was different, but we knew it, would eventually end the same

I wish you wouldn’t try to, pull me back to, feelin' like I can't escape

Feelin' like I’m boxed in

Lookin' thru my options

Fuck a job, I can’t clock in

I can still hear them talkin'

You mad 'cuz you not him

Wanna swap like Slauson

It’s a marathon, I ain't stopping

CMMND in this bitch, we locked in
