Slow It All Down

Sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck
Sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck

Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down

And I say, time just be movin' too fast for me
Feel like the whole world is passin' me
Tryna find purpose with every day on repeat
Stuck in a cycling loop it feels like defeat
Meanwhile, everybody doin' everything
And I'm tryna do anything
To keep my mind off the fact I haven't done anything
But what is there to do when the value of a penny change
And petty wage jobs payin' workin people petty change
Some things never change
Or by the time they change it doesn't even matter no more
The only thing certain is death, yeah, that is for sure
I think I need to slow down, cause what I'm in a rush for
When I'm just tryna be on hip-hop's Mount Rush more
And that don't mean I need to rush more
I need to take my time

But sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck
Sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck

Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down

And I say
Wish I could slow it all down for once
Feels like I just sat around for months
Got me wondering, am I even growing?
Is any of the progress that I feel I'm making showing?
Some of my peers got kids, houses, and cars
Should I be on the same page? I'm not sure
I ain't even live it yet
I don't know what my story is cause it isn't finished yet
I'm making something out of nothing like chicken scratch
Something that's bumping in the trunk like midget sex
Wish that I could slow it all down
So I could soak in the moment, if I could I would just drown
Always feel as if I'm on the verge, so I'm bound
In the studio, I'm cooking up that new sound
Trying to make music that lives longer than me
So when I'm dead and gone, my songs are my memories

But sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck
Sometimes I'm scared that the world gon' pass me up
But I try to be brave and act like I don't give a fuck
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down
Wish I could slow it all down, down, down, down, down

And I say
