Testo 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 mama say



Slow it down, baby

You're going too fast

You've got your hands in the air
With your feet on the gas

You 'bout to wreck your future,

Runnin' from your past

You need to slow down

Before you go 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 the one who endureth

I thought that all of 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've got your hands in the air

With your feet on the gas

You 'bout to wreck your future,

Runnin' from your past

You need to slow down

Before you go down, baby



Sometimes you've 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



Sometimes you've 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



'Cause I'm breaking things and I'm losing things

I lost my cell phone again the other day

Now, I don't want to live this way

In the back of my mind, I hear my mama say



Slow down, baby

You're going too fast

You've got your hands in the air

With your feet on the gas

You 'bout to wreck your future,

Runnin' from your past

You need to slow down

Before you go down, baby
