Lyrics
Said I don't wanna slow down
Never know where to go
And I don't wanna know now
What I'm gonna know
They tell me to chase the blind
Got no time for safety
Said I'm just gonna take the time
Before the time takes me
Oh what a breath of fresh air, flesh of a legend that feared
Being mortal but now I'm living forever in ears
Same passion but intentions shifted from begging for cheers
To wanting to be felt and having a connection to peers
Pressure lifted 'cause I know where I'm headed
Drive is potent and my soul is invested
In the present moment where I'm sculpting a message
Adding value instead of adding to the flame
'Cause that's exactly what Pac did to my adolescent brain
They want me to slow it down and conform for their own comfort
Go figure, that ego blocking their growth so no wonder
They don't like the messenger so they gonna give you the cold shoulder
But know the chase for aesthetics' in control of their whole structure
No longer letting a mass number fill the voids at any cost
From money to group a of friends that blind what matters at large
To many nights I felt I was going against my fate and I wasn't enough
But I wasn't a lost cause it was just 'cause I was lost
Said I don't wanna slow down
Never know where to go
And I don't wanna know now
What I'm gonna know
They tell me to chase the blind
Got no time for safety
Said I'm just gonna take the time
Before the time takes me
Yeah, uh, no slowing it down, got somewhere to be, they never looked at it like I do
I'm holding it down, while stuck in the sea, they'd never present it like I do
I'm molding it now, my whole legacy, they'll never go get it like I do
I hope to corral, the ones who could see, the vision presented when I move
The vision inside of my mind, the mission I'm given's to not let it die
I'm wishing for wisdom embracing the lives, of those who before me had carried divine
Ideas that had generational change, the way that it was and now who I became
Is starting to look more like what I had aimed, for when first I started this journey of fame
Connection, what does that word mean to you hearing it?
To some it's just taking two things and putting them together
To me it's taking different wave lengths and steering it
To find each other serendipitous, made better
It takes time turning things from thoughts into fruition
It saves lives giving hope to anyone who's gifted
The fake lies you've had sold to you 'cause you're too different
Can't break minds with a purpose time for us to win it
Said I don't wanna slow down
Never know where to go
And I don't wanna know now
What I'm gonna know
They tell me to chase the blind
Got no time for safety
Said I'm just gonna take the time
Before the time takes me
