Rabbi Darkside - Grow Up Slow lyrics

Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go [Grace Galu Kalambay] Blue skies ahead is all the forecast A wintry riverbed vast sparkling gla** Wind gusts pa** We spin Sleigh bed Hold fast Knowing it in grey Memories wouldn't outlast In all this weakness I'm reminded of warm sunlit beaches Resounding through my mind Songs you teach plus Stories of old Not knowing how they'd reached us Hardly notice time pa** Sand slipping through our toes Slipping through an hour gla** Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go Grow up slow We've got a long way to go [Rabbi Darkside] This is for my single mothers And my distant brothers And my second cousins And my kitchen cupboards When it was filled with nothing For the father figures and the wad of rigors And the lots of liquor and the blocked up arteries The Poppa jitters Dusty army fatigues The forgotten dinners Bailing him out in winter Reeking more than a hint of For my young widows and souls that's unsettled And tongues that feel brittle and bones that feel rattled For my first offenders and their family members For the bedtime stories that always have happy endings For those who've known no choice Known work their whole life No perks slow nights still find their soul's light Dream acts enacting and police not being savage And pristine urban planning and complete satisfaction Peace merchant macking A piece of mind for everybody on the Planet Earth for whom that's lacking A t-shirt ain't action but words mean the world So we shift a bit of consciousness when letters form pearls For my veteran teachers who keep the lessons fresh Dedicated to Kibibi your presence is heaven sent Well the streets aren't paved with gold So we better make our own road We've got a long way to go So you might as well grow up slow Grow up slow Slow your roll Don't you know You got a long way to go
