Josiah Levi - Slow It Down Lyrics

It's only been a year since I started
I've made new friends some departed
I've had a broken heart, but I've hardened
I know we going high, this ain't the farthest
This my family you know that we the best
All the loved ones that have helped me through the stress
Last year I was broken and depressed
This year I finally got self respect
They don't see where I am going
They think I'm proud and I show it
I'm feeling sick with these motions
Lets take moment and slow it
Down
Aye
They don't see
They don't see
All of me
All of me
Huh
Break it down for me
I've learned lot since last year
I've been tryna push myself n face my fears
Now some people look at me and think I'm weird
While the others they respect me and I think it's clear that
You can't let those thoughts in your head
Take in every moment as a positive
Your life is a movie and they watchin it
But when you're feeling broken you ain't pausin it
I have pushed people away
Sometimes I did it for the best but sometimes it's not the same
I've pushed important people to the depths of memory lane
And it still killing me to think about it everyday
And it's normal, I tend to overthink
But I believe that it's better than to overspeak
And If you're always saying something does it mean anything
When you're throwing words around but you are sendin em weak
Long ago I didn't want to believe
That everything I kept close could change the thinking of me
Every little bit of influence changin the scene
The people I kept close changing how I would think
I know it sounds silly but I say it's the truth
Take the five closest people and they add up to you
But who knows if this song will be sending it through
As long as it hits one person and they're making a move
Yeah
They don't see where I am going
They think I'm proud and I show it
I'm feeling sick with these motions
Lets take moment and slow it
Down
Aye
They don't see
They don't see
All of me
All of me
Huh
Break it down for me
You can break me down but I'll still come up
You can hate my sound but I'll still show love
I can't stress over hate
I'm tryna earn respect for my name
You could take all of the money on the planet
Take my shoes and my glasses and my jacket
My belongings to the ground and then smash it
But you can't take my name or my passion
Doesn't mean I don't want those things though
I can want things like all the normal people
I won't let it leave me in a rut or in a deep hole
Ima just focus on the blessings and my needs bro
Yeah, the plans ima make
Ima tour the world they gonna know my name
Wanna make an impact wanna make a wave
Tryna help the people and ignite a flame
They don't see where I am going
They think I'm proud and I show it
I'm feeling sick with these motions
Lets take moment and slow it
Down
Aye
They don't see
They don't see
All of me
All of me
Huh
Break it down for me
