Slow Down (beat by DJ Essence)
Behold, Jehovah's prophets in the wilderness
Unfold the scroll, the contents of my syllabus
Everybody want the fast life, but fast life equals fast death
Where do you go after your last breath?
That's the question that we stressing
Expressions of reverence for your blessing
So check the lesson in the message
The message in the lesson will break the chains of addiction
The strains of affliction
Shackles of oppression
Our country go to war for money while the
poor and hungry live in tabernacles of depression
Now we're here to expose the prince of the power of the air
Because the final hour it is near
And Satan might creep, so awake my peeps
From your late night sleep, gone astray like sheep
Don't wait too late and say "I wish I knew then what I know now"
All I'm saying is "slow down"
Slow down
You gotta slow down
Slow down
You gotta slow down
The radio refuse to play stuff like this
'Cause they're shady, so, they choose the unrighteous
They want your minds- vain guys long for power
Labels pay 'em to play the same five songs an hour
A lot ain't even hot: in fact
I heard the same song so many times, I almost forgot it was wack
When the same message is pumped repeatedly
Maybe not immediately; But sooner or later, the seed will be a tree
You're crazy if you think it don't affect the minds of the kids
When their favorite rapper be flossin' the diamonds and cribs
In their rhyming is fibs about grabbing techs to blast ya
But he's a slave: a record exec his master
One out of every four black males have been arrested
One out of every three females have been molested
You don't see the connection, you living on the surface
Why would you choose to be ignorant on purpose?
The light in this world is really dim
When 9 year old girls wanna grow up to be like Lil' Kim
14, eyes on the guy with the Range Rover
He ain't sober, she still believed the things he told her
Now he got a new lady, so for him it may be over
But for her it's just beginning, she's pushing a baby stroller
Saying,"I wish I knew then what I know now"
Somebody should have told her "slow down"
