So far from where I started out   And 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 you're going too fast   You got you hands in the air with you feet on the gas   You're 'bout to wreck your future running from your past   You need to slow 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 you're going too fast   You got you hands in the air with you feet on the gas   You're 'bout to wreck your future running from your past   You need to slow 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, no no   (No)      Sometimes, sometimes you gotta   (Be still)   It take some time to reach you and they oh love   (Be still)   Take some time to clear your space   (Be real)   Chaos isn't good for your health, no no      Baby you in the end, oh yeah      'Cause I'm breaking things and I'm losing things   I lost my cell phone again the other day   That, I don't wanna live this way, no   In the back of my mind I hear my mama say      Slow down, baby you're going too fast   You got you hands in the air with you feet on the gas   You're 'bout to wreck your future running from your past   You need to slow down baby      Slow down baby you're going too fast   (Slow down baby)   (Slow down baby)   Feet on the gas   (Slow down baby)   Run from your past      Slow down baby   Slow down baby   Slow down baby   Slow down baby
