Slow Down Lyrics - Dave East

Shorty only 19, always on the night scene 

He don't know what life means 

We need to slow down 

Her mama says she drive her crazy 

She's just a baby but she's about to have a baby 

Slow down 

He can't afford it so he wanna rob 

He'd rather trap cause he don't want a job 

You need to slow down 

The world is yours just take your time with it 

Get up, go out, and let your grind get it 

Slow down

Times changing, money motivate 'em different now 

I don't even see no youngings shovel when it's blizzards now 

'96 if I dug like four cars out, I'd cop some Nike kicks 

And thinking Chinese chicken, wings, and rice to get 

I guess the older heads ain't teaching nothing 

I'm burnt out myself so honestly not preaching nothing 

But if that trap slow get a job buy some nice shoes 

And hit them parties down town where them wild niggas cannot get inside 

Start thinking business 

Remember money hard to mix with friendships 

Once they show your interest, get your chicken 

Young, black, and rich they worst nightmare 

The government don't fight fair 

If your homies love you keep 'em right there 

Right there

He don't know what life means 

We need to slow down 

Her mama says she drive her crazy 

She's just a baby but she's about to have a baby 

Slow down 

He can't afford it so he wanna rob 

He'd rather trap cause he don't want a job 

You need to slow down 

The world is yours just take your time with it 

Get up, go out, and let your grind get it 

Slow down 

Don't be 30 in your mother crib, that's bugged out 

Understand success gon' come with hate just get that love out 

And don't be influenced just because they pull some drugs out 

Stand up on your own two, know certain things you won't do 

Everybody not a shooter understand that title 

I picked the Quran up, I couldn't understand that Bible 

Allah's my witness 

I've been through the trenches just like most of them 

That's why I go and smoke with them 

Shop and crack jokes with them 

I'm expecting a kid though, used to watch out the window 

I love when the lil homies call me big bro 

You living fast, need to slow it down 

Started getting ass and got 'em open now 

She thought she was in love, her heart broken now 

Slow down 

Shorty only 19, always on the night scene 

He don't know what life means 

We need to slow down 

Her mama says she drive her crazy 

She's just a baby but she's about to have a baby 

Slow down 

He can't afford it so he wanna rob 

He'd rather trap cause he don't want a job 

You need to slow down 

The world is yours just take your time with it 

Get up, go out, and let your grind get it 

Slow down 

Diamonds what the girls love 

They just wanna shine 

Copped the Rollie and the Cuban chain 

Living with his mom 

She in the club, her mother baby sit 

Daddy not around 

Fast living'll catch up quick 

You need to slow it down 

Diamonds what the girls love 

They just wanna shine 

Copped the Rollie and the Cuban chain 

Living with his mom 

She in the club, her mother baby sit 

Daddy not around 

Fast living'll catch up quick 

You need to slow it down 

Hey young world, the world, the world 

The world, the world, baby the world 

The world, the world 

The world is yours 

(Slow down, slow down)
