Slow Down (feat. Priscilla Trejo)

He had to learn it's not a loss, it's a lesson Like the problems that he saw in adolescence He thought that he could solve 'em with acceptance Thought that he could solve 'em, but he found that he suppressed 'em And then it came out when it really mattered He met a young woman and went and hid the baggage She said hello to him and he replied what's happening The conversation is going and flowing: automatic She from Virginia and one day, she wanna hit Alaska, She go to college for theatre but never been dramatic Her favorite color: pink, her favorite artist And she in love with Jesus, then he knew he had to have her At least he thought he knew, but he was really wrong She opened up to the kid, but he did her wrong His excuse was, the two moving too fast News flash Dude was really stuck on the dudes past I've been trynna hold it down Are you trying to slow it, only Tell me so I know it now Is it really over, own it You don't even know, you're just going through the motions I'll be by your side, here to hold you Always by your side, here to hold you But I noticed I've been trynna hold it down Are you trying to slow it, only Tell me so I know it now Is it really over, own it You don't even know, you're just going through the motions I'll be by your side, here to hold you Always by your side, here to hold you But I noticed Wow, the years of porn started catching up Years of seeing couples in their struggles started adding up Passing up, every opportunity to pass it up Let his lack of intimate initiate her backing up Months past but the contact still alive No cap, kept the contact minimized 'Til his eyes opened up, he was ill-advised No surprise, it was 'bout time he could feel the vibe Now he could see she's everything he prayed for Thanking God that he could see that she was made for him Put it on his mind: grind like a skateboard Wait, it don't even feel the same, Lord You mean to tell me that my ignorance done closed her heart I ignored the signs to get a spot in Noah's ark I let my trash of a past have us drove apart Lord, you know the start I already tried to hold it down But you only slowed it, only Didn't tell me so it's over now Yeah, it's really over, own it Had to let you go, since you going through the motions I was on your side, there to hold you Always on your side, there to hold you Now it's over Now it's over Yeah, it's over Now it's over
