Slow Down

13 I popped my first bean king kong was no soda please

I was blowing trees sniffing mona lisa

Young and done the streets more to me

See I ain't know god had a plan selling ** with my momma dad

Up late at night like insomnia

In a hellish state that's where my mind was at

There is no one around me teaching wisdom

The og's around me getting out the system

I knew my surroundings would just lead to prison

Death for addition I just pray you listen

There's a couple things that you oughta know

You should hear it now then later down the road

The way you living now gonna cost your mind and soul

And the day you die you gotta do it alone

I wish sometimes I could just press rewind

Back in the days of my early life

In my darkest times I would shed some light

Look me in the eyes and I will speak on life

I tell myself give it all to god make sure you're right before your body drops

Slow down pay attention to all the signs

This life's too short man it's almost time

If I knew then what I know now

I'd say to myself son you need to slow down

Take a deep breath take a look around

Think and think twice before you open your mouth

Whoa now I need to slow down

I'm moving fast

Whoa now I need to slow down

Catch up

This hurts worse than being broke

This burns worse than beat up **

I'm losing air like I'm breathing smoke

I'm sinking quick I'm in a leaking boat

I breathe out slow before I take that shot

I need to slow down my brick pass hot

Got a lot of bad thoughts I erase them with pot

I flip the script and start chasing that cop

Hope I blow up and have a pot to piss in

Respect was earned but a lot was given

And even if I look at the life I'm living

I know that I should take the advice I'm giving

I still won't listen they say I'm hard headed

Two am macking on the bartender

I cut a few people with some sharp ** edges

I should've slowed down with some guitar lessons

If I knew then what I know now

I'd say to myself son you need to slow down

Take a deep breath take a look around

Think and think twice before you open your mouth

Hold on I need to slow down

Hold on I need to slow down
