Yella Fellaz - Slowed Down City Lyrics

I swear to God that you better than that
But I see a lot of pain in your present and past
I know you sacrificed a lot to be impressing your man
By doing so you lose yourself through impressions and masks
I know the world can give you pressure and that
Could lead you to regretting, second guessing your plans
And that phrase "I'm okay" you always said it and laughed
Thats why I write you with a pen and a pad
And she don't wanna fall in love love love
Cos she afraid to say good bye bye bye

I don't even really know how I'm feeling
In a slowed down city
We done took a leap of faith
Blasting music speakers break
In a ghost town village
So we about to ride out, ride out
Somewhere that the skies are brighter
With nothing to lose no more, no more

Just a couple of lost souls at a cross road
And we are so bad at letting petty stuff go
When it comes to- dealing with the pain we run from
Swear that shit could get theatrical I'm sitting front row
And when the curtains done closed
Shit, imma give a round of applause
Give a standing ovation to hide the sound of my thoughts
Shouting 'encore' and other shit to drown it out more
Girl I'd do anything to stop us walking out of that door
Because I fear for the day we be leaving this place
Just to get onto better things at remedial pace
Cos I'm expectant of bitterness to get into the way
Willing to change, but hesitation give me reason to stay
Really complacent, and ain't nobody left
Everybody picked up all they stuff and headed west
We the only ones that stuck around up in this mess
But there's calm in the chaos and there's peace in distress

I don't even really know how I'm feeling
In a slowed down city
We done took a leap of faith
Blasting music speakers break
In a ghost town village
So we about to ride out ride out
Somewhere that the skies are brighter
With nothing to lose no more, no more

I might have come close of knowing you
But knowing time is ticking I ain't close to you
Show me how to pay less and borrow more
And tell me what's my expiry date at yours
Ain't we all on borrowed time, envy real love too sublime
If love is a gift then fear's the wrapping
And you know all the fears been keeping me at night
So how can I deny the thoughts I had about you

I don't even really know how I'm feeling
In a slowed down city
We done took a leap of faith
Blasting music speakers break
In a ghost town village
So we about to ride out ride out
Somewhere that the skies are brighter
With nothing to lose no more, no more
