Ricky Hil - If I Can't Slow Down lyrics

[Intro] The only thing they could ever ask me is why I feel like I'm worthy of making music period Why do I put out so many songs Why, why am I doing this period, I have no reason to do this But what I tell them back, if they understood a ounce of the pain that I've been through or the life that I've lived Then they would find some way to understand why I would never stop doing this They could never f**ing slow me down [Verse 1] They'll never know the way I feel Like we're living in the unreal You see my baby she is unreal The best is the only way I make her feel I wanna hold you Make you cry away the pain They don't know you Therefore they can never feel the same Like Glenville, every day it rains While I was raised right on Leonard Lane I swear my mama invented pain Left marks on the wall but my heart stain Went insane when Uncle Billy died I was only ten and I thought of suicide When I feel like that now I think of you and I "I'll always be there for you", you reply And now I look into the mirror And my brain gets darker but my mind gets clearer She said k** it Rick, you can hear If you didn't know now I won't slow down [Hook] Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Would you still be around If I couldn't slow down You're gonna have to shoot me down If I can't slow down [Verse 2] When my daddy got sick I got beat up That's the first time I thought I needed Jesus Said daddy, they don't need us In a alley right here if you need us But he was way too sick He couldn't see at school I was used like a beating stick Literally, they beat my f**ing a** homes This is just my life, f** it if you laugh homes If I saw them kids today I would make sure that they didn't wanna live another day Then I found music Cuz I didn't know another way And if you didn't know My pain is real deep So I wear black every other day Yeah, so let me get this straight f**er I'll never slow down Never [Hook] Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Would you still be around If I couldn't slow down You're gonna have to shoot me down If I can't slow down [Bridge] Understand me I hate being misunderstood Understand me I hate being misunderstood What I been through will never let me slow down What I been through will never let me slow down What I been through will never let me slow down What I been through will never let me slow down [Hook] Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Lately I been moving so fast that I can't slow down Would you still be around If I couldn't slow down You're gonna have to shoot me down If I can't slow down
