I remember back a day
I just wanted to be grown
There’s nothing I didn’t think that I could handle on my own When my pops left,
I feel like the man inside my home
But Mumzy told me baby boy you better take it slow
And now I realise It’s a problem we create
And this generation Got the same look upon there face
Little missy feeling brave
Wearing nothing to the rave
You ain’t woman you still got that itty bitty waste
I just wish you slow down
know that You should act your age
And Your parents paying fees
keeping you in school
Baby tell me how it feel
I know that you ain’t fulfilled
When You cutting all the classes
And chasing all the thrills
Had your first cigarette
first sip a wine
text your mumma that you staying at your friends tonight
But you met an older guy
And he make you feel alive
When he pick you and you friends up in his golf gti
And he booked a hotel
you staying overnight
Phone DND you don’t want wanna kill the vibe
Now you doing things you didn’t wanna do cos he lied And a tear rolls down your eye when you realised you should have slowed down
Slow down
To all the young hustlers that’s if your still living
Eyes on the prize Tryna make the first million You could wear my shoes I promise them boots are still fitting Lemme take you waay back to the very beginning
Baggy denim and the 59 fitted
Had my Fake chain swinging tryna impress women
Pocket full of weed and my fake id
If my mumma find out she gonna discipline me
12 years old moving like I’m 19
Sneaking out the front door
I know you just like me
You wanna be the man with the money in your hand so you develop a plan now you in and out the trap
You ain’t got no friends cuh you stabbed them in the back when you lost a rack tryna find a way to get back
Now you up stressed don’t know where the ps went
All you wanted was to help your mumma pay rent
And your homegirl went and found a new friend,
Cuh you didn’t reply when she ask where you went
I know you gotta lot of demons and you wanna shoot them
But im putting on game for the new gen lil man Slow Down
