Slow Down the Pace

Intro

(yeah... yeah...)

Verse

sittin’ in the back, motor hummin’ low, rain hittin’ glass like it’s lettin’ me know

thinkin’ ‘bout the game, how the love get twisted, money in the mix but the feelings get twisted

screen show the flash, but the nights get hollow, trauma in the pocket, gotta swallow what follows

saw you past the station, frame like a movie, solo in the noise, doin’ you, truly

independent bag, you ain’t ask for a thing, that’s the type of peace that the money can’t bring

used to fake love, quick switch like a light, but with you the silence feelin’ right, right

text from a burner, keep the circle tight, ‘cause they chase the name but they don’t know the fight

let’s dip to the coast, leave the ends in the rear, loyalty rare, gotta keep it near

Chorus

can we just slow down the pace for a minute? (minute)

life movin’ too fast when you’re in it (in it)

streets stay cold, you my shelter from the storm

hold you close, keep the spirit warm (warm)

lifestyle heavy, yeah, dangerous too

but they can’t change us, we already proved

tell me you down for the ride (ride)

no more runnin’, stay right by my side (side)

Verse

phone on DND, city lights blur, you the only calm in the middle of the stir

they want the image, the glitz, the clout, but you see the silence when the music die out

burner stay buzzin’, fake love on the line, i delete the noise, keep the real in mind

you walk like the rain, steady, no rush, i match that pace, leave the fake in the dust

flight out the ends, sunset on the wing, loyalty rare, gotta let it sing

you don’t need a hand, but you holdin’ mine, that’s the kind of peace that the money can’t find

so tell me you with it, no half-time play, we slow it all down, let the moment stay

Chorus

can we just slow down the pace for a minute? (minute)

life movin’ too fast when you’re in it (in it)

streets stay cold, you my shelter from the storm

hold you close, keep the spirit warm (warm)

lifestyle heavy, yeah, dangerous too

but they can’t change us, we already proved

tell me you down for the ride (ride)

no more runnin’, stay right by my side (side)
