Slow Down

So far from where I started out

So far from where I wanna be

Listenin' for answers in the wind

But can't find a rock to plant my feet

Looking for love in all the wrong places

Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience

I know there's gotta be a better way

In the back of my mind I hear my momma say

Slow down, baby, you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're 'bout to wreck your future

Running from your past

You need to slow down, baby

Oh

Thinking the faster that I go

The faster that I will reach my goal

The race is not given to the swift

But to the one who endureth

I thought that all my obstacles were behind me

Walking around like I'm made out of diamond

I tripped and fell and it reminded me

To move over and let the angels guide me

Slow down, baby, you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're 'bout to wreck your future

Running from your past

You need to slow down, baby

Sometimes you gotta be still

Before you can get ahead

Be still

Ask the universe for help

Be real

You can't do it all by yourself

Ah, no, no

Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still

And take some time to rejuvenate

Be still

Take some time to clear your space

Be real

Chaos isn't good for your health

Oh, no, no, oh, woah

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause I'm breaking thangs and losing thangs

I lost cellphone again the other day

Now, I don't wanna live this way, no

In the back of my mind I hear my mama say

Slow down, baby, you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're 'bout to wreck your future

Running from your past

You need to slow down, baby

Slow down, baby (Slow down, baby, you're going too fast)

Slow down, baby (With you feet on the gas)

Slow down, baby (Running from your past)

Slow down, baby

Slow down, baby

Slow down, baby

Slow down, baby
