India.Arie — Slow Down lyrics

Lyrics

So far from where I started out
So far from where I wanna be Listening for answers in the wind
But canЂ™t find a rock to plant my feet
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Down on my knees and now IЂ™m praying for patience
I know thereЂ™s gotta be a better way
In the back of my mind I hear my momma say
Slow downbaby youЂ™re going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
YouЂ™re Ђ™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 (that) 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 IЂ™m made out of diamond
I tripped and fell and it remindedme
Move over and let my angels guideme
Slow downbaby youЂ™re going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
YouЂ™re Ђ™bout to wreck your future
Running from your past
You need to slow down before
You go down baby
Sometimes you gotta be still
Before you can get ahead
Be still
Ask the universe for help
Be real
You canЂ™t do it all by yourself
Ahno no Sometimessometimes 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 isnЂ™t good for your health
Ahno noahhh
Cuz IЂ™m breaking things and losing things
I lost my cell phone again the other day
NowI donЂ™t wanna live this wayno
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
Slow downbaby youЂ™re going too fast
You got you hands in the air
With you feet on the gas
YouЂ™re Ђ™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)
YouЂ™re going too fast
Slow down (baby)
Feet on the gas
Slow down (baby)
Run from your past
Slow down baby (4x)
