Send "Slow Down" ringtones to your cell

so far from where i started out 
so far from where i wanna be 
listenin for answers in the wind 
but cant find a rock to plant my feet
lookin for love in all the wrong places 
down on my knees and now im prayin for patients
i know theres gotta be a better way 
in the back of my mind i here my momma sayin

CHORUS:
slow down baby your goin to fast
you got your hands in the air but your feet on the gas 
you bout to wreck your future runnin from your past 
you need to slow down baby

thinkin the faster that i go 
the faster that i will reach my goal 
the race is not givin to the swift 
but to the one who endureth
i thought that all my obstacle were behind me 
walkin around like im made outa diamond
i tripped and fell and it reminded me 
move over and let my angels guide me

CHORUS

sometmes you gotta 
(be still)
before you can get ahead 
(be still)
ask the universe for help
(be real)
you cant do it all by yourself
(oh)
sometimes sometimes you gotta be still

?????

take some time to clear your space
(be real)
chaos isnt good for your health no no no no 

cuz im breakin things and im loosin things 
i lost my cell phone again the other day now
i dont wanna live this way no 
in the back of my mind i hear my momma sayin

CHORUS

slow down baby (x8)
