Life ain't always easy, there's no comfort with growth
Learn your subconscious, just stay conscious, there's a good and bad road
You need to slow down, baby
Don't let 'em manipulate your smile
You need to slow down, baby
You need to slow down, down, down
Askin' myself, "What kind of life is this?"
Gotta be reminded when you might forget
Wasn't raised like this but she like the shit (Like the shit)
Killin' me softly
How do I live when I know you got a family? We ain't spoke in days (Spoke in days)
Breakin' my heart that the choice was made (Choice was made)
Get your way when your voice is praised (Voice is praised)
I'm contemplatin' goin' out in a blaze
Yo, how you go through life without a call from me?
Every day I'm learnin' in life that talk is cheap
I guess it's too many movin' parts to see (Parts to see)
And I don't know it all but you look lost to me (Lost to me)
And you might feel stuck with the film attached
It's never too late for a different path
You got a whole family to convince you that
I love you and I miss you bad, just hear me out, love
Life ain't always easy, there's no comfort with growth
Learn your subconscious, just stay conscious, there's a good and bad road
You need to slow down, baby
Don't let 'em manipulate your smile
You need to slow down, baby
You need to slow down, down, down
Yo, everybody's lookin' for somebody to blame
We all livin' life but is the challenge the same?
Got everything to gain until the salary change
You can see the obvious when the pattern's the same (Pattern's the same)
Manipulated to forgettin' the facts (Forgettin' the facts)
What's the price to retrace the tracks?
Now everybody talkin' 'bout the life you had
'Cause we ain't see the signs which is twice as bad (Twice as bad)
Look, you ain't judgin' and it ain't your business
Didn't know creatin' space would create a vent
And everything you sayin' to me might be true
But, real talk, all women gotta break the system (Break the system)
The way you gettin' treated is disappointin' to see (Disappointin' to see)
Feelin' like I got a gun pointed at me (Pointed at me)
You know when you got somethin' that only you can see?
I can't wait 'til we all get free, just hear me out, love
Life ain't always easy, there's no comfort with growth
Learn your subconscious, just stay conscious, there's a good and bad road
You need to slow down, baby
Don't let 'em manipulate your smile
You need to slow down, baby
You need to slow down, down, down
