India Arie - Slow Down lyrics

So far from where I started out

So far from where I wanna be

Listening for answers in the wind

But can't find a rock to plant my feet

Looking for love in all the wrong places

Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience

I know there's gotta be a better way

In the back of my mind I hear my momma say

Slow downbaby you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're '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 I'm made out of diamond

I tripped and fell and it remindedme

Move over and let my angels guideme

Slow downbaby you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're '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 can'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 isn't good for your health

Ahno noahhh

Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things

I lost my cell phone again the other day

NowI don't wanna live this wayno

In the back of my mind I hear my mama say

Slow downbaby you're going too fast

You got you hands in the air

With you feet on the gas

You're '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)

You're going too fast

Slow down (baby)

Feet on the gas

Slow down (baby)

Run from your past

Slow down baby (4x)
