lyrics

Slow Down
© Rico Pabón

prayer position I’m sittin lotus heart slows the blood flow
I let go
my mind’s focused
my soul aligns with the Most Divine
I know that I’m just a ghost host of a holy shrine
spirit livin life
solar light in flesh
born from the force of the source
the Lord’s finesse
yes
with my chakras balanced
I hover above the planet
I smoke from golden chalice
roam the total globe of atlas
I heard a murmur turn to the words of the grand mastermind
saying every day I wait’s a wasted grain of sand of time so take the breath you been blessed with
use it wisely
if you rhyme than fill your books with love between the sheets like Isley’s
tell them stories of what is and was
predictions of what might be
use your mic as a beacon of light when victory seems unlikely

find the roses growing through the cracks and crevices and show em their reflections that’s what heaven is but first
slow it down
We got to slow down
don’t stop just pause
take a look around and slow down We got to slow down
cuz the stress’ll kill
the pressure will
start slow at first
and then begin to build it bubbles up until
it fills
up to the rim
and what you gonna do when
it spills
rat race no getaway
you can see the walls of the maze change every way overworked and we underpaid but we undertake whatever it takes
what do we need to do to make it through another day hustle like runaways
in the rain in the streets where the weak get done away where the richest gon’ eat and the poor are just forced to compete for our crumbs like it’s Hunger Games
in it to win it but finish diminished breathe

for a minute and then it’s back to the beginning for the dough
it’s stays getting low
we’re trapped in it though
so we go, go, go
I’m trying to take it slow but the grind’s real
sometimes I feel like I’m stumbling through a mine field slippery fate signed n sealed but no delivery date
smile on my face but I’m still feelin the weight of the wait
it’s hard to see the silver lining
how coal becomes a diamond
high temperatures, pressure and patience
waitin for perfect timing
sometimes it’s hard to see divine designing
when it feels designed to make us lose our minds in the maze like the shining
we try shining with the gold and diamonds
not recognizing we phenomenon
see, the stars in the heavens go on and on and we the ones who the Creator called upon to fall
from the sky
to transform and walk
through the fire like Chaka Khan
and land on the planet
good morning, you’re born
in the ninth month just like Ramadan
ain’t it a blessing to breathe
to see that the seeds turn into the trees

the roots become branches and leaves and then fruits and seeds become roots and again it repeats
to see the moon attract the sea and babies breathe in the womb
you and me miracles too what we need to do is slow down
We got to slow down
don’t stop just pause
take a look around and slow down We got to slow down
