Rest (with Samm Henshaw)

It was something I believed in
Ain't no rest until the bank account peakin'
You say, "The city never sleeps in"
But living busy isn't giving you your worth
Slowing down is fighting back
The time you take is given back
Shifting gears is saving gas

Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom
(Slow it down and see it)

Rest is the secret
I start to believe it

The city's built on blood and muscle (Yeah, yeah)
Skyscrapers held on by philosophy of hustling
Saturday is my cathedral
A day to stop, and rest is holding up the steeple
This might be news for all the people
Living busy isn't giving you your worth
(Whoo!)

Slowing down is fighting back
Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom
Calming all the noise so you can finally listen

Rest is the secret
I start to believe it
(Start to believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
Stopping the motion to process the moment
(Why don't we stop just to process?)

Can I take a minute? Maybe a breath to breathe?
Can I take a second? I'm craving clarity
So lost in the thought of what one day I could be, that
I forget to take some time to make a richer me
I searched around to find myself a mental cure
I took a break, that's probably what I'm lookin' for
What once was lost has finally got me reassured
(Ooooh)
Leaving room for greater paths
Letting go and kicking back
Reading books and taking baths
Slowing down is

Rest is the secret
I start to believe it
(Start to- start to believe it
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)
Stopping the motion (Stopping the motion)
To process the moment
(Why don't we stop just to- whoo!)
