Speak Love

Slow Down

Slow down lil mama.

The streets are no place

For you.

You've been craving attention

Since you were two.

Started having sex

When you were ten.

Your brother never told you

That what he was doing to you

Was a sin.

No love

No respect

No gentleness in sight

He only forced harder

When he found out it was

Too tight.

No cause to think

You would ever

Tell -

Now you have to live an eternity

Trapped in the prison of his memory

Without bail.

Lil shorty,

You're still too young

To give up hope.

You spend 80% of your day

All

Doped

Up.

Don't give up

On life when all you see

Is pain.

Don't wake up every morning

Thinking that every day

Will always be

The same.

Slow down, lil mama

And give yourself one more try.

See if you can trust in

The fact

That not everyone is telling you

A lie.

Mama didn't believe you

And daddy decided to try you

For himself.

But you broke away from them

And still you keep yourself

Locked up in your own

Personal hell.

Break free from the chains

You were given.

You no longer have to keep them

On.

Why do you spend every night

Running

Until you see the first cracks

Of early dawn?

Slow down lil mama.

Get yourself some rest.

Every man doesn't need

To put his hands

Inside your dress.

You're too young
