Slow Down

I'm praying for y'all out here
Lost souls walking down this road
Don't know which way to go
Don't know how they life is gone unfold
(Reedukay Reedukay Beats Boi) you'll find your way

Slow (slow) slow slow down (down) slow slow slow slow slow
Slow down (down) slow slow slow slow slow slow down (down)
(Slow) somebody please somebody please tell these kids
Somebody, please tell'em please (slow slow down) tell these kids
Somebody please please tell these kids please tell these kids
Please tell these kids

He had so much pain so much anger
That was inside him (inside him)
But he always had on a smile (smile)
So the pain inside was hiding (hiding)
And he never said too much (much)
Most of the time the boy was silent (silent)
Never expressed how he felt (felt)
So the pain was growin' and risin' (risin')
But so was the questions (questions)
Set on a journey for answers (for answers)
The first people he turned to (turned to)
The people that raised him from pampers (pampers)
But they cannot tell him the answer (answer)
To the questions that he seeks
Cause the knowledge that he's lookin' for
Is a lesson they can't teach (they can't teach) (no)
Secrets and knowledge of life reveal
Youngin' as you get older (get older)
But in the meantime slow your roll (like slow motion) (motion)
Gettin' in fights at school (school) wanna be a class clown
Breakin' all the rules (rules) hangin' with this group yup
Thinkin' that you cool parties and booze
Turnin' up is all you do (do)
Gettin' so high you eye level with the moon
Tell'em slow down your growin' up too soon (soon)
In life we got choices depends on what we choose (choose)
Determines rather we gone be successful or doomed (doomed)
Advice be a kid while your still young
Cause workin' and payin' bills man it ain't fun
You probably don't want to hear me cause you know it's the truth
This is Reedukay and this is my message to the youth
Slow down (slow down)

Slow (slow) slow slow down (down) slow slow slow slow slow
Slow down (down) slow slow slow slow slow slow down (down)
Somebody please somebody please tell these kids
Somebody, please tell'em please tell these kids
Somebody please please tell these kids please tell these kids
Please tell these kids

At the age of only fifteen (fifteen?) met the guy of her dreams
Everything was goin' right it seems (uh-huh)
She was doin' things that she didn't need to be (ok)
Hit twelve o'clock she be out runnin' these streets (nah)
Havin' sex at a young age (what?)
Now they both got a baby on the way (what?)
Scared for they life what they parents gone say? (Duh)
Still in school and got a baby to raise (yeah)
I know it's way too much but it's way too late
You made yo bed now in yo bed you lay
Now you feelin' like you lost hearin' what a child cost
Tryna gather your thoughts tryna connect the dots and
She been thinkin' a lot but you gotta deal with it now no escape
And she feelin' like she threw her whole life away (uh huh)
Next time gotta really think and use your brain (ok)
Or just listen to the chorus Reedukay (duh)

Slow down (down) slow slow slow slow slow slow down (down)
Slow motion motion motion motion motion motion motion
