Slow It Down - Rapidgrass

Alright Right now I'm in prison and I think I built my own cell Prophets speak softly, homie, they don't yell Only those that hear my music know my lower depths The doer does, the knower rests The scholar learns, the sage forgets If I could wrap my head around it, then I might get a shot I get what I think about, whether I like it or not When things go wrong, life doesn't stop I need to quit pollutin' my mind with sex and violence The secret that I'm seekin' was left in silence And my microphone is pointin' God's finger I'm a saint disguised as a pop singer Here's a fun fact (fun fact) Most people leave their potential untapped There will be more than camping gear to unpack Sometimes you gotta go there just so you could come back Slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around I said, slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around My foot hurts, I didn't get sleep My dad died, my horoscope ain't in sync I'm misunderstood and Twitter is ruthless Uh-oh, I think my problems are excuses For not bein' who I know I am I'm 31, there's no one left to hold my hand Though I believe I got someone watchin' over me I believe I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be I believe that even when the road is bleak That these obstacles were set up just for me And family matters, I'm on some Urkel shit Postin' on a primo beat, this some full circle shit I believe no matter how high the hurdles get I can flip this whole thing into an internal win Life ain't meant to be a heavy thing Met Ram Dass, he told me, "Just love everything" Fall in Michigan, there's wisdom in my looseleaf For the first time, I feel like the true me Slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around I said, slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around Some days, I can't get outta bed Crippled by negative thoughts inside my head Like why do I always stop before my limits? And why am I only good at lovin' people from a distance? Why am I so vain? Obsessed with fitness Why are the only people I'm around my assistants? But wait, the last time I felt this way I bucked up, kept goin', and got my shit straight Diddy told me go with my heart So my focus is art, not where I go on the chart The divine light in me loves to glow in the dark If my life was a movie, we'd be approaching the part Where the hero wins and learns don't Chase what you already got and returns home Those who say, don't know, those who know, don't say I'm done walking with the herd, it's time I go my own way Slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around I say, slow it down Yeah, I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around Yeah, yeah

I never knew you before I've been walking around With my eyes on the floor But now you're everywhere to me You're every face that I see Things ain't moving quick enough for me I guess I've been running 'round town Leaving my tracks Burning out rubber, driving too fast But I've gotta slow right down Back to the moment, the very start From the very first day, you had my heart But I've gotta slow right down Slow it down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Wishing, wanting for something more Always better than I had before Who knew these dreams would come true? And I run the red, won't stop at night I don't care for traffic lights Things ain't moving quick enough for me I guess I've been running 'round town Leaving my tracks Burning out rubber, driving too fast But I've gotta slow right down Back to the moment, the very start From the very first day, you had my heart But I've gotta slow right down Slow it down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down I guess I've been running 'round town Leaving my tracks Burning out rubber, driving too fast But I've gotta slow right down Back to the moment, the very start From the very first day, you had my heart But I've gotta slow right down I guess I've been running 'round town Leaving my tracks Burning out rubber, driving too fast But I've gotta slow right down Back to the moment, the very start From the very first day, you had my heart But I've gotta slow right down Slow it down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down
