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 down baby
Ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future
Running from your past.
You need to slow down baby
(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 reminded me.
To move over and let my angels guide me.

Slow down baby
Ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future
Running from your past.
You need to slow down baby
(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... Ah, No... No...
Sometimes you gotta
(Be still.)
And take some time to rejuvenate.
(Be still.)
Take some time to clear your space.
(Be real.)
Chaos isn't good for your health... Ah, No... No...

Cause I'm breaking things and I'm losing things.
I lost my cellphone again the other day.
Now I don't wanna live this way no.
In the back of my mind I hear my mama say.

Slow down baby
Ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air.
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future,
Running from your past.
You need to slow down baby.
(Go down baby.)

Slow down baby.
Goin to fast.
Slow down baby.
Feet on the gas.
Slow down baby.
Running from your past.
Slow down baby.
Go down baby.

Slow down baby.
Slow down baby.
Slow down baby.
