Slow Down

So far from where I started out So far from where I wanna be Listening 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 Thinking the faster that I go The faster (that) I will reach my goal The race is not given to the swift But to him 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 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 Take some time to rejuvenate Be still Take some time to clear your space Be real Chaos isn't good for your health Ah, no no, ahhh Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things I lost myself at the end of the 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 before You go down baby (Slow down baby) Slow down (baby) You're going too fast Slow down (baby) Feet on the gas Slow down (baby) Run from your past Slow down baby (4x)
