Slow Down - Phora

Yeah, life, I don’t know what it means

All I know is when it’s over, you’re free

See my boy caught a bullet inside his chest

I’m just hoping he breathes

I’m just hoping he was lucky as me

But I really hate to say it, man

Hope just ain’t enough sometimes

I’ve been moving fast, be pressing my luck sometimes

My grandpa passed away, I never got to say my goodbyes

Wish I could see him again even for just one time

And I promise, I won’t say «I'm busy» or make excuses

And I won’t show up late and leave early like I used to

And I won’t take the word you said for granted, I would use them

But why we never show how much we love 'em til' we lose them?

Slow down.

I just think I need to slow down

I just think I need to slow it down

I just think I need to slow down

I just think I need to slow it down

You feel, what I feel

I think I’m moving way too fast

Lately, fast lately

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Down, down

Homie I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Yeah, to me you worth more than the stars and the planets

This for all the times that I took you for granted

This for all the times I ain’t never had time

Missed you on your birthday, I know that we planned it

I was too into myself to love those around me

Drowning in my loneliness hoping it don’t surround me

Swallow me whole and drown me

I lost myself and you found me

You the only one that pushed me

When everybody would doubt me

Since a kid

Mama ad my back through all the crazy shit I did

Mama, you responsible for everything this is

Mama, but I been really tryna change the way I live, I’ma

They way I live, I’ma

Show you why I appreciate you, take the time

But you know the son of yours just couldn’t wait to shine

She said, «You so focused on taking on the world that you forgot your hometown

You been moving too fast, you really need to slow down»

And that’s real.

I just think I need to slow down

I just think I need to slow it down

I just think I need to slow down

I just think I need to slow it down

You feel, what I feel

I think I’m moving way too fast

Lately, fast lately

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down

Down, down

Homie, I’ve been tryna slow down, slow down
