Slow Down

[Verse 1]

I remember when I used to

Dream about the dudes who's

In the crew

With the deuce deuce

Strapped

With the booze

Black out

Ready to do a drive-by

With five other guys

Eyes red from the sess

And white powder sniff

As I wake up

And click to the news

What do I see

I see my dreams

Of reality seen

So I can't keep on

Wasting time

On the church circuit

When Christ done purchased

So I'm eager to get the streets

On worship

Not looking to slow down

No time

Out here

Every day end

People dying

And we can't keep

Lying in beds

Lying to heads

That we don't hold the answer

To man's sin

Forget about my stress

Depressed state

It's not about me

It's all about G-O-D

Plus I can't stop

I'm wrapped around

In His arms

Like a car that's driving fast

Doing God's work

He'll take care of my ..


[Hook]

You need to slow down

(I wanna break free)

To gain control

(Take these weights off me)

You're racing too hard

(Lord help me be)

No time to feed your soul

(Put me on a path I can see)

You need to slow down

(I wanna break free)

To find control

(Take these weights off me)

You're racing too hard

(Lord help me be)

No time to feed your soul

(Put me on a path I can see)


[Verse 2]

But, but, I mean

There's so many souls

That need to hear His message

No time to lay my head back

Like I'm sipping beverage

Cause hell is hot

You heard what DMX said

So let's get the Gospel

To these peeps

Before they deceased

In a deathbed

This ministry's my life

In fact I've made it my wife

Check the bling

It's an invisible thing

Hearing me right

You listening clear

No time for playing games

No sleep

Not a peep

Hitting the road

I might be back next week

And I'm weak

But the Lord's strong

Mind set on correcting society

Cause the world's wrong

And radio...

And all my bills is building up

And I still ain't giving

Love to my God

..

But I will once

I get my foot in the door

I'm booked on a tour

Did half of U.S.A. in two years

Need I say more

So I see

The newspaper reads

A man bleeds

With a stab wound

To the chest and spleen

See what I mean


[Verse 3]

Sometimes I wonder

Does anybody or everybody

See the struggles I go through

I'm cold too

Hurt

And my soul's bruised

So much on my mind

About to crack

Please give me some wine

(..)

That's no use

Lord

Am I involved too much

Can one handle

I can even turn right or left

Like door handles

I'm baffed as I'm clenching my fist

Thinking of how You wore

Nails to Your wrist

Like bangles

Let me persist

But my focus is off You

Like Peter in the water

Started sinking when he

Watched the storm

And not the Lord in order

I'm a fan and I support Ya

Lord

You said faith without works is dead

So I won't abort my sword

Ministry's my heart

But I haven't been ..

I went missing

Like Osama bin Lad

..

You said You came to give rest and peace

But do I have it

Rest assured

I'm gonna make You my Sabbath

Until I grab it
