letra de triage - jon protege

won’t things slow down just a little
they say i overthink things and all that’s ever done is weigh me down

i’ve been a go-getter, yeah
hating on my old stuff now but back then i could do no better
i just wanted a sp-ceship to flaunt from my own cheddar
with a dime and a view so stellar
and troubles out of sight out of mind
light so bright let those around me shine
i told ‘em i’m at my best when i take my time
i know the world won’t wait and i
won’t live too afraid to die
but that’s part of the story they can’t plagiarize
and she understands my truth like that
always knew my path was the right one and she’s proof of that
but they didn’t come around when we weren’t paid, yeah
and i still remember getting fired from work on my birthday
needed that in the worst way
that second wind like a hurricane
for the reason i’m here in the first place
and i’ve been high and low like music notes
not sure where i was when she met me
but that’s what makes it all beautiful
said i’ll make her mine next week
order and chaos, i might lose control to let my truth be told
no more pain from the memories
now she’s living in my mind rent free
knowing this world can break my heart but won’t consume my soul, but
won’t things slow down just a little
they say i overthink things and all that’s ever done is weigh me down
won’t things slow down just a little
they say i overthink things and all that’s ever done is weigh me down

i write these words hoping they reach far
is it so wrong if i only pray when i need god?
pain in these thoughts and i know there’s inequality in these parts
and i wonder if heaven got triage
and i know some have blessings they don’t see at all
i know people like to talk wins but gotta see the value in each loss
gotta fail as many times as it takes to get it right
just ask the greats, falling flat on your face with those ambitions
chose that walk of life and ran with it
but it always feels like you’re in last place
and everybody wants to show me their highlight reel
but i know in between those moments their life is how my life feels
it ain’t picture perfect, i’ve been wanting to sell you a vision
they said i’d be in the dark with the negative ‘till i develop my image
watch what i think about and not be a slouch
gotta leave your comfort zone to shake them demons out
won’t be easy this life can beat you down
and this world keeps testing me
but i swear those same ones won’t be able to reach me now
i’ve been low-key, had to keep my distance from some homies
awaken my inner child but i’m too wise for the old
qualified for this and whatever my soul seeks
is like walking on hot coals ‘cause i won’t get cold feet
but i still remember when i couldn’t afford rent
bills piling up by my door again
sleeping on the floor on that pursuit of happiness
like just a bit more and money will come pouring in
like rain from that leak in the ceiling when it was storming
reality i can’t ignore, my fall from grace was coming back to earth
and i don’t lose faith anymore
and things happen for reasons we don’t see at all
not on your schedule that’s between me and god
and no matter how fast you run, the past always catches up
sometimes for something good to happen you’ve got to want it bad enough, but
won’t things slow down just a little
they say i overthink things and all that’s ever done is weigh me down
won’t things slow down just a little
they say i overthink things and all that’s ever done is weigh me down
