India Arie - Slow Down Lyrics
So far from where I started outSo far from where I wanna beListening for answers in the windBut cant find a rock to plant my feetLooking for love in all the wrong placesDown on my knees and now Im praying for patienceI know theres gotta be a better wayIn the back of my mind I hear my momma saySlow down, baby youre going too fastYou got you hands in the airWith you feet on the gasYoure bout to wreck your futureRunning from your pastYou need to slow down beforeYou go down babyThinking the faster that I goThe faster (that) I will reach my goalThe race is not given to the swiftBut to the one who endurethI thought that all my obstacles were behind meWalking around like Im made out of diamondI tripped and fell and it remindedmeMove over and let my angels guidemeSlow down, baby youre going too fastYou got you hands in the airWith you feet on the gasYoure bout to wreck your futureRunning from your pastYou need to slow down beforeYou go down babySometimes you gotta be stillBefore you can get aheadBe stillAsk the universe for helpBe realYou cant do it all by yourselfAh, no noSometimes, sometimes you gotta be stillIt take some time to reach you and theyBe stillTake some time to clear your spaceBe realChaos isnt good for your healthAh, no no, ahhhCuz Im breaking things and losing thingsI lost my cell phone again the other dayNow, I dont wanna live this way, noIn the back of my mind I hear my mama saySlow down, baby youre going too fastYou got you hands in the airWith you feet on the gasYoure bout to wreck your futureRunning from your pastYou need to slow down beforeYou go down baby(slow down baby)Slow down (baby)Youre going too fastSlow down (baby)Feet on the gasSlow down (baby)Run from your pastSlow down baby (4x)
