Slow It Down

Wed, 01/11/2017 - 13:24 -- Sabenh

Listen up kids theres a story to be told, dont get caught up in the future 'fore you know it youll be old

its a cold hard truth, that ya cant stop time but pay attention to the present and you just might find

Times been moving way to fast, we just gone have to slow it down, times been moving way to fast...

So honestly everything is still a little new to me,

relatively young but not as young as I once used to be

Truthfully many values had are under scrutiny,

time will change up on you like a crew commitin' mutiny

Try to fight it all you really do is struggle futiley,

My course of action of push through the struggle musically

pour my soul into my songs and sing them with a bluesy beat...

Times been moving way to fast...

So put the hourglass on its side and take some time to feel alright

we all need time to reassess and organize whats in our mind

So TAKE a BREATH, think HARD and sing with CLARITY,

Turn your thoughts into a message give the world some therapy

Times been movin' way to fast, we just gone have to slow it down,

times been moving way to fast...

Slow it Down.
