Slow Down
They keep tellin' me to slow down, I can't help but speed up
How could you leave me now, this is everything we dreamed of
Somethin' on your mind, baby, go ahead and speak up
Somethin' feelin' different, mood be switchin' like the seasons
You've been through it all, so I know you got your reasons
Never showed you love unless it was at their own convenience
Tried to take advantage, so you don't show no signs of weakness
Always held it down, you didn't let nothin' come between us
Kept me out the streets, so my life I probably owe you
I'ma keep you by my side, and I'ma love you like I'm supposed to
I'ma show you that I care, just in case I never told you
If they lock me up in jail, you'd be the only one I wrote to
They said that they'd be there, but no one ever showed up
If I only had one call, you'd be the first one that I phone up
You was with me at my lowest, you gon' be there when I blow up
Been on your own since you was young, so they treat you like a grown-up
They've keen tellin' me to slow down, tellin' me to slow down
They keep tellin' me to slow down, tellin' me to slow down
They keep tellin' me to slow down, I can't help but speed up
How could you leave me now, this is everything we dreamed of
Somethin' on your mind, baby, go ahead and speak up
Somethin' feelin' different, mood be switchin' like the seasons
You been through it all, so I know you got your reasons
Never showed you love unless it was at their own convenience
Tried to take advantage, so you don't show no signs of weakness
Always held it down, you didn't let nothin' come between us
Kept me out the streets, so my life I probably owe you
I'ma keep you by my side, and I'ma love you like I'm supposed to
I'ma show you that I care, just in case I never told you
If they lock me up in jail, you'd be the only one I wrote to
They said that they'd be there, but no one ever showed up
If I only had one call, you'd be the first one that I'd phone up
You was with me at my lowest, you gon' be there when I blow up
Been on your own since you was young, so they treat you like a grown-up
