Lyrics

[00:12.22] So far from where I started out
[00:16.28] So far from where I wanna be
[00:20.40] Listening for answers in the wind
[00:24.55] But can't find a rock to plant my feet
[00:28.82] Looking for love in all the wrong places
[00:32.46] Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience
[00:37.22] I know there's gotta be a better way
[00:40.78] In the back of my mind I hear my momma say
[00:43.95]
[03:01.40][01:36.24][00:44.40] Slow down, Baby you're going too fast
[03:05.19][01:40.00][00:47.96] You got you hands in the air
[03:07.43][01:42.00][00:49.98] With you feet on the gas
[03:09.14][01:44.07][00:52.08] You're 'bout to wreck your future
[03:11.56][01:46.52][00:54.42] Running from your past
[03:13.33][01:48.13][00:56.18] You need to slow down before
[03:16.23][01:51.47][00:59.07] You go down baby
[01:01.06]
[01:04.21] Thinking the faster that I go
[01:08.17] The faster that I will reach my goal
[01:12.22] The race is not given to the swift
[01:16.62] But to the one who endureth
[01:20.82] I thought that all my obstacles were behind me
[01:24.79] Walking around like I'm made out of diamond
[01:29.12] I tripped and fell and it reminded me
[01:32.75] Move over and let my angels guideme
[01:35.83]
[01:53.84] Sometimes you gotta be still
[01:57.09] Before you can get ahead
[01:59.81] Be still
[02:01.29] Ask the universe for help
[02:03.94] Be real
[02:05.16] You can't do it all by yourself
[02:07.95] Ah, no no
[02:09.82] Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still
[02:13.59] It take some time to reach you and they
[02:16.40] Be still
[02:17.83] Take some time to clear your space
[02:20.76] Be real
[02:22.01] Chaos isn't good for your health
[02:24.40] Ah, no no, ahhh
[02:30.10]
[02:44.45] Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things
[02:48.63] I lost my cell phone again the other day
[02:53.36] Now, I don't wanna live this way, no
[02:57.62] In the back of my mind I hear my mama say
[03:01.12]
[03:18.00] Slow down (baby)
[03:19.97] You're going too fast
[03:22.15] Slow down (baby)
[03:24.24] Feet on the gas
[03:26.51] Slow down (baby)
[03:28.55] Run from your past
[03:43.64][03:39.34][03:34.85][03:30.42] Slow down baby
[03:46.42]
