Slow Down - India.Arie
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 before
You go down baby
Thinking the faster that I go
The faster 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
Move over and let
my angels guideme
Slow down
Baby you're going too fast
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
It take some time to
reach you and they
Be still
Take some time to clear your space
Be real
Chaos isn't good for your health

Cuz I'm breaking things and
losing things
I lost my cell phone 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 before
You go down baby
Slow down Baby
You're going too fast
Slow down
Feet on the gas
Slow down
Run from your past
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
