Slow It Down

Slow it down, slow it down for a minute Think about what you're doing for a little second Switch my mind state up all with a sentence Slow it down Slow, Slow, Slow Feels like containment, I, I can't embrace me I I need some changes, I, I need some changes Walking and stumbling, over my feet I'm fading I'm taking on too much, I need to slow it down I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been Feeling all of this pain Head trapped inside a cocoon Emotional damage to my soul, I ran away and sang my monsoon Cradle to the grave, years pause by Am I going to see my mom soon She's never coming back, cause once you die You close your eyes, you go to sleep We say goodbye We hold on tight to your words and your memories But inside I feel half empty me Left stuck in between a cliffhanger Contemplating whether to let go or not But if I did, no rope attached to me And I let go with it, all of my wishes My honest intentions, my truest visions My greatest allies and the love I have for folk Now we speak, what's word is law Try to sweeten my life with sugar but is it pure Vanity and complexious scenes I don't adore You take the life right out of my soul, you want it all Slow it down, slow it down for a minute Think about what you're doing for a little second Switch my mind state up all with a sentence Slow it down Slow, Slow, Slow Feels like containment, I, I can't embrace me I I need some changes, I, I need some changes Walking and stumbling, over my feet I'm fading I'm taking on too much, I need to slow it down I know, I see, I feel, I felt Don't know what to feel anymore It's like everything's swept under the door Underline the vibrations, need more meditation Lay my head back, look at the ceiling Rest now my dreams feel uneasy Yeah, am I a fool? No Maybe once before but had to learn to leave behind the old me Time and time again passing by but still standing strong like an oak tree Understand body, mind and soul to break in a new me But I don't find peace, just more questions with less answers Years pass by but reality makes me feel so despondent To routine I never seem to switch up my day to day ways Minimum wage like a chain on slave When you used to call like a dog, I came running The moment I thought about myself, I stopped running That's the choice you make when you realize what's worth it So slow it down, think about who deserves it
