LYRICS
Alright.
Rhino.
I’m in prison and I think I built my own cell.
Prophets speak softly, homie; they don’t yell.
Only those that hear my music know my lower depths.
The doer does, the knower rests.
The scholar learns, the sage forgets.
If I could wrap my head around it then I might get a shot.
I get what I think about whether I like it or not.
When things go wrong, life doesn’t stop.
I need to quit polluting my mind with sex and violence.
The secret that I’m seeking was left in silence.
And my microphone is pointing God’s finger.
I’m a saint disguised as a pop singer.
Here’s a fun fact: most people leave their potential untapped.
There will be more than camping gear to unpack.
Sometimes, you gotta go there just so you can come back.
Slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down. No more running around.
I said slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down. No more running around.
My foot hurts, I didn’t get sleep.
My dad died, my horoscope ain’t in sync.
I’m misunderstood and Twitter is ruthless.
Uh oh, I think my problems are excuses
For not being who I know I am.
I’m 31, there’s no one left to hold my hand.
Though I believe I got someone watching over me.
I believe I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
I believe that even when the road is bleak,
That these obstacles were set up just for me.
And family matters, I’m on some Urkel shit.
Posner on a Preemo beat, this some full circle shit.
I believe no matter how high the hurdles get,
I can flip this whole thing into an internal win.
Life ain’t meant to be a heavy thing.
Met Ram Dass. He told me, “Just love everything.”
Fall in Michigan, there’s wisdom in my loose leaf.
For the first time, I feel like the true me.
Slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down. No more running around.
I said slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down. No more running around.
Some days I can’t get out of bed,
Crippled by negative thoughts inside my head.
Like, why do I always stop before my limits?
And, why am I only good at loving people from a distance?
Why am I so vain, obsessed with fitness?
Why are the only people I’m around my assistants?
But, wait, the last time I felt this way,
I bucked up, kept going and got my shit straight.
Diddy told me go with my heart.
So my focus is art, not where I go on the chart.
The divine light in me loves to glow in the dark.
If my life was a movie, we’d be approaching the part
Where the hero wins and learns don’t chase what you already got and returns home.
Those who say don’t know; those who know don’t say.
I’m done walking with the herd; it’s time I go my own way.
Slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down. No more running around.
I say slow it down. I still got the feeling, baby.
Slow it down, no more running around.
Yeah.
