Ricky Hil - If I Can't Slow Down lyrics

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 fucking slow me down

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 kill it Rick, you can hear
If you didn't know now I won't slow down

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

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 fucking ass homes
This is just my life
Fuck 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 fucker
I'll never slow down never

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

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

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
