[Verse 1]

Why we livin' in fast forward, if all our time is limited?

You take for granted, I’m just grateful to be given it

Live fast, die young with your syndicate

'Till this life is done

I’m just happy to be livin' it

I mean I take it slow, so we could soak it in

'Cause when I reach that door I know it will be opening

Then we goin' in, confidence my only friend

If you think I’m rushin' then you really just don’t know me then

Speaking of rushin', now I wanna slow it down

I live up In the moment so embolded by the sound

Of people talking nothing

I’m walkin', they pass me runnin'

Stay chillin lookin' for something I could use to kill discussion

Talkin' bout this and them, gossip never listening

My life is a melody, I block out all the dissonance

'Cause money's certain to equal time

So when life is going fast I vertical equal sign

Pause

[Chorus]

If I could slow down time

This life won’t pass me by

If I could click rewind

I know I’d be just fine

My love, please believe me

Hit delay and take it easy

I know I need to just slow down, down, down

Slow down

[Verse 2]

My whole life’s just been a couple minutes

Years gone in a second, then an hour it is finished

Doing what I can, tryna stop the room from spinnin’

Just because you finish first doesn’t always mean you winnin’

I looked around and I’m slippin’ in like banana peels

Runnin’ gets you nothing so I jump up off the hamster wheel

Got a plan to chill, yeah man, for real

Wish the hands on the clock started standing still

But while I see all my people celebrating

I try to make it count that’s why I’m deaccelerating

So I pumped the brakes and I upped the stakes

Personally, I don’t really wanna trust the race

'Cause you lose sight of all that’s important to you

People and places that matter start lookin foreign to you

And so I live tryna pacify

'Cause I don’t want this life to pass me by

[Chorus]

If I could slow down time

This life won’t pass me by

If I could click rewind

I know I’d be just fine

My love, please believe me

Hit delay and take it easy

I know I need to just slow down, down, down

Slow down

[Verse 3]

Every time I close my eyes the world spins ten times round

So I’m tryna answer why can’t I just slow time down?

Every single breath I take, man, I’m bout to suffocate

I've been so stressed of late I can’t even control my pace

So tell me where to go next

It doesn’t matter if you livin' by a Rolex

'Cause the hands in the middle still exist

The same as every other type of brand on a wrist

So I’m tryna manipulate the tempo

Then I stipulate to fast and slow

Yo, put me on delay

One day, eventually, I will find a way

[Chorus]

If I could slow down time

This life won’t pass me by

If I could click rewind

I know I’d be just fine

My love, please believe me

Hit delay and take it easy

I know I need to just slow down, down, down

Slow down
