Original
Where are we going?
Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going?
We should be growing now
Smoke tour nigga
Smoke tour nigga
Where are we going? We should be slowing down
Where are you going? We should be growing now
That's what she said to me That place I used to call home is just a bed to me And we don't even sleep Neighbors can hear her weep Meanwhile I'm in these streets with everybody I'm trying to get it and she know they got me I watch her feelings watch me As they staring with the saddest eyes of loneliness Look each other in the face and barely blink I tried to make it right but the pen ran out of ink So if my letters don't reach you I hope these lyrics in sync
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going?
-We should be growing now -That's what it said to me But that place I call ambition now dead to me Gone and forgotten I'm off track like Dale
Earnhardt My liver rotten Alcoholic tripping Fucking bad bitches And they got bad intentions Club night guys and dolls
Balling out but I'm about to drop the ball I'm calling out for help My engineer called Told me come to the studio I want to tell him nah
Where are we going?
Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going?
-We should be growing now -That's what he said to me But that place we call heaven unfair to me Only a hundred and forty-four can go
Seven billion people on planet earth today
Is it something that I don't know?
I know to follow him Rather following people Or follow vanity cause that means I'm following evil Guess I'm following evil I should follow cathedral Blessings I need But live like I don't need you
Where are we going?
Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going?
-We should be growing now -So in conclusion We all seem to stumble
Planning our own demise Forgetting the big picture And making it wallet size So to what's important in my life I apologize I promise to stay faithful Focused and sanctified We all get distracted The question is Would you bounce back or bounce backwards? Would you not know how to act or take action?
It's just a part of life And if your vision's impaired You'll probably lose it all tonight
I'm trying to visualize How to get it right But my vision's so blurry
Trying to slow it down Stay close to the ground But we're always in a hurry now And if I could Make this world spin a little slower
Then I would Think we could grow a little closer
I think we're getting closer
I think we're getting closer
