Lyrics
0:10Alright
0:14Right now
0:15I'm in prison and I think I built my own cell
0:18Prophets speak softly, homie, they don't yell
0:22Only those that hear my music know my lower depths
0:25The doer does, the knower rests
0:29The scholar learns, the sage forgets
0:32If I could wrap my head around it, then I might get a shot
0:35I get what I think about, whether I like it or not
0:38When things go wrong, life doesn't stop
0:41I need to quit pollutin' my mind with sex and violence
0:45The secret that I'm seekin' was left in silence
0:49And my microphone is pointin' God's finger
0:52I'm a saint disguised as a pop singer
0:56Here's a fun fact
0:58Most people leave their potential untapped
1:01There will be more than camping gear to unpack
1:04Sometimes you gotta go there just so you could come back
1:08Slow it down
1:11I still got the feeling, baby
1:15Slow it down
1:18No more runnin' around
1:20I say, slow it down
1:24I still got the feeling, baby
1:28Slow it down
1:31No more runnin' around
1:35My foot hurts, I didn't get sleep
1:38My dad died, my horoscope ain't in sync
1:41I'm misunderstood and Twitter is ruthless
1:44Uh-oh, I think my problems are excuses
1:49For not bein' who I know I am
1:52I'm 31, there's no one left to hold my hand
1:54Though I believe I got someone watchin' over me
1:58I believe I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
2:01I believe that even when the road is bleak
2:05That these obstacles were set up just for me
2:08In family matters, I'm on some Urkel shit
2:11Postin' on a primo beat, this some full circle shit
2:14I believe that no matter how high the hurdles get
2:17I can flip this whole thing into an internal win
2:21Life ain't meant to be a heavy thing
2:24Met Ram Dass, he told me, "Just love everything"
2:27Fall in Michigan, there's wisdom in my looseleaf
2:31For the first time, I feel like the true me
2:34Slow it down
2:37I still got the feeling, baby
2:40Slow it down
2:43No more runnin' around
2:46I say, slow it down
2:50I still got the feeling, baby
2:53Slow it down
2:56No more runnin' around
3:00Some days, I can't get outta bed
3:03Crippled by negative thoughts inside my head
3:06Like why do I always stop before my limits?
3:09And why am I only good at lovin' people from a distance?
3:13Why am I so vain? Obsessed with fitness
3:16Why are the only people I'm around my assistants?
3:20But wait, the last time I felt this way
3:23I bucked up, kept goin', and got my shit straight
3:27Diddy told me go with my heart
3:29So my focus is art, not where I go on the chart
3:32The divine light in me loves to glow in the dark
3:36If my life was a movie, we'd be approaching the part
3:39Where the hero wins and learns don't
3:42Chase what you already got and returns home
3:45Those who say, don't know, those who know, don't say
3:49I'm done walking with the herd, it's time I go my own way
3:52Slow it down
3:56I still got the feeling, baby
3:59Slow it down
4:03No more runnin' around
4:05I say, slow it down
4:09Yeah, I still got the feeling, baby
4:12Slow it down
4:15No more runnin' around
4:19Yeah
Alright Right now 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 pollutin' my mind with sex and violence The secret that I'm seekin' was left in silence And my microphone is pointin' 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 could come back Slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around I say, slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' 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 bein' who I know I am I'm 31, there's no one left to hold my hand Though I believe I got someone watchin' 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 In family matters, I'm on some Urkel shit Postin' on a primo beat, this some full circle shit I believe that 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 looseleaf For the first time, I feel like the true me Slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around I say, slow it down I still got the feeling, baby Slow it down No more runnin' around Some days, I can't get outta bed Crippled by negative thoughts inside my head Like why do I always stop before my limits?
