These past few days I′ve been really having trouble

Putting into words the things that go through my mind

And it's like I′ve been trying to run away from the things that hurt me most butI think I got it back

Listen to me

Been having trouble with bottled emotions

The devils spell was working hard I've been finding that potion

Yeah

And it hurt my heart that my brother struggle

He won't confess but I can see he lack drive and devotion

The way they talk I feel the hate in they heart

But always knew where I would finish

I was great from the start

I told my brother if they test me

Ima break em apart

Like ima monster fuck around and take the tank from the shark

And I′m so grateful I can speak to my granny glad she ain′t die yet

Remember asking god can he save her I can't say bye yet

It was a week since his death and I′m at the funeral

Before that moment constantly wonder why I ain't cry yet

Yeah

I miss my brother every day that′s a fact

And the way that my mother love me only way I'm in tact

Family steadily took advantage of the things that I lacked

But I stayed solid even when it′s like they prayed that I cracked

Yeah, but

I'm in my head I'm in my way

I′m searching for advice but all they ever seem to say is

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

They say you gotta slow down

I′m in my head I'm in my way

I′m searching for advice but all they ever seem to say is

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

They say you gotta slow down

And I'll be damned if my demons defeat me

I′m stomping on they heads that's how I make sure they beneath me

And my choice in women show that I′m growing

I'm less enamored by the looks and more how do they treat me

I used to shy from the heat of the moment

But now I'm ready for whatever let′s see my opponent

But I can′t go risk my life over nothing

It ain't no telling when my people gon′ need my heroics

No sitting down to wait I'm coming for all I deserve

And conversations w my granny be calming my nerves

I can′t blame you if you don't understand me

The neighborhood was satisfied w a ball and the curb

You niggas blind to how good you been living

Let′s take a trip so I can shine how the hood has been living

And even though ain't a thing I regret

I cut relationships with people I should've forgiven

My only goal in life is take care of my family

Do this shit at all costs give a fuck who get mad at me

Buy my mom a bed with the fancy drapes and a canopy

You faded thinking I′d let you cross me nigga you had to be

Be hard to trust my thoughts when they got a past of deceiving me

That′s why I show my love to the ones in life that believe in me

They'll never know my truth cause they so consumed by the narrative

I shouldn′t pay attention to how these people perceiving me

I'm in my head I′m in my way

I'm searching for advice but all they ever seem to say is

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

They say you gotta slow down

I′m in my head I'm in my way

I'm searching for advice but all they ever seem to say is

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

Slow Down

They say you gotta slow down
