Hook:

Slow down, just need to calm down

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

I need to figure this out, 'cause I have some doubts

About where I am now, don’t want to burn out

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

Verse 1: (J Mellow)

It's not bad, I mean I work too much

I don't plan, don’t stand, still, I feel, I'm always in a rush

I feel, I will, reach the end of my reel, not enough

Time in the day, is my crutch, I lean on it, I must

Cause if I don't, I won't, continue to move forward

Decay to a rust, and when the dust has settled

Am I standing at your throne?

Will I have contributed anything towards my heavenly home?

I know, I need to slow, down

But faith without works is dead

So will I die out? Or am I dead now?

I die daily, but lately, I find it's all I can think about, it's crazy

'Cause I can't get this out of my head

If I’m not moving forward then I must be dead

I can’t move ahead, with all these lies that I've been fed

So I pick up the pace, cause I don’t wanna be late

I grind all day, no time to skate, no time to take

A break, and make memories with friends

I'm here again, here to mend, my broken life

And heal inside, that's when I realize, as I lay in my bed

And think about the best days ahead

This mess, and all the rest, no time to rest, just progress

I've missed the point

And now I’m going too fast, and I don't know how long I'll last

And I keep wondering and fixating on all of my past

Crash landed and stranded, I got my feelings abandoned

But I couldn't slow down at all, how does that even happen?

'Cause I can't do this alone, and I can't call this my home

'Cause I know you're waiting for me, at your heavenly throne

And in shackles, I'm bound

But I don't know where I'm bound, to go, so

Can you help me out, now

God, slow me down

Hook:

Slow down, just need to calm down

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

I need to figure this out, 'cause I have some doubts

About where I am now, don't want to burn out

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

Verse 2: (Izzy)

Driving down the freeway, ok, No need to explain

My pain, oh it's such a shame, you bring me down

In flames, with all the games you play, got me

Daydreaming in class, you're a girl I need to move, pass

Our love is in the past, I better hope my hate won't last

I got dreams, I got goals, I've been clean, finding home

By all means, go alone, I'm just a teen, on my own

I got a need, to be known, I will bleed, cut my throat

I will lead, watch your tone, looking at my past

Looking at the sky, booking to be last, I ain't living high

Lowest point, but I'm still strong, got no joint, just a song

I've been looking at my phone, wasting time until

I'm gone, tell me how to move on, move on

I got too much on my mind, I'm 'bout to blow

I've been way too kind, man I gotta go

I've been on my grind, but it doesn't show

I've been taking too much time, it's time to grow

Killing is my crime, I'm killing foes, making all these

Rhymes incredible, my rapping paradigm, exceptional

Together you and I, that's hysterical, my love life

Is so crucial, it's been brutal, I've just been so tired

I need to start a fire, with my lighter, make it a little

Brighter, let us fly higher, make our robes whiter

We just young, and we livin', I'm having fun

Might be trippin', my sin's been forgiven, just giving

Back talent given, girl, don't be crazy driven, I will never

Give in, she asking 'bout my friends and, she asking

If they're fakin', Don't wanna be left with a frown

Help my love be found, God please

Just let time slow down

Hook:

Slow down, just need to calm down

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

I need to figure this out, 'cause I have some doubts

About where I am now, don't want to burn out

Slow down, breathe in and breathe out

Outro:

I feel you in this place, and God I let you in

I feel you in this room (slow me down again)
