Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G]
[Am][B][Am][B]

[Verse 1]
[C]Where are we
going? Why are we slowing [G]down?
[C]Where are you going? We should be
growing [G]now[B][G][Am]
(Smoke to it, nigga, [G]smoke to it,
[Am]nigg[B]a)
[C]Where are we going? We should
be slowing [G]down
[C]Where are you going? We should
be growing now
That's [B]what she said to [G]me

[Verse 2]
[Am]
That place I used to call
home is just a bed to me
And we don't even sleep,
neigh[B]bors can hear her weep
[Am]Meanwhile,
I'm in these streets with everybody
I'm tryna get it and she know they got me
[B]I watch her feelings watch me[C]
As they staring with the saddest
eyes of loneliness
Look each other in the face and [G]barely blink
I [C]tried to make it right,
but the pen ran out of ink
So if my letters don't reach you, I
hope [G]these lyrics in sync

[Verse 3]
[Am]Where are we going? Why are
we slowing [B]down?[G]
[Am]Where are you going? We

[Verse 4]
should be growing now
[Am]That's what [B]it said to [C]me
But the place I call ambition
now dead to me
Gone and forgotten,
I'm [Am]off [B]track like D[C]ale Earnhardt, my liver rotten
Alco[B]holic trip[C]ping,
fucking bad bitches and [G]they got [B]bad inten[G]tion[Am]s
Club night, guys and dolls
Balling out,
but I'm 'bout to drop [B]the ball
I'm calling [Am]out for help,
my engineer called
Told me "Come to the studio",
I wanna tell [B]him "Nah"

[Verse 5]
[C]Where are we going? Why are
we slowing [G]down?
[C]Where are you going? We should
be growing [Am]now

[Verse 6]
That's what [G]he said to [Am]me
But that place we call Heaven unfair to me
Only [B]144 can go
[Am]Seven billion people on planet Earth today
Is there something [B]that I don't know?
[C]I know to follow Him rather
following people
Or follow vanity 'cause that
means [G]I'm follow[B]ing [G]evil
[C]Guess, I'm following evil,
I should follow cathedral
Blessings I need [G]but live [B]like
[G]I don't need you

[Verse 7]
Where [Am]are we going? Why
are we slowing [B]down?
[G]Where are[Am] you going? We

[Verse 8]
should be growing now
[Am]So in co[B]nclusion, we a[C]ll seem to stumble,
planning our own demise
Forgetting the big picture and
making it wal[G]let [B]size
[G]So to [C]what's important in my life,
I apolo[Em]gize
[C]I promise to stay faithful,
[G]focused and sancti[B]fied
We [Am]all get distracted,
the question is would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Would you [G]not [B]know [G]how to [Am]act or
take action? It's just a part of life
And if your vision's [B]im paired,
you probably lose it all tonight

[Verse 9]
I'm [G]trying to visualize how to get it right,
but my vision's so blurry
Trying to [C]slow it [G]down, stay close to the ground,
but we're always in a hurry, now
And if I [Am]could make this world spin a little [B]slower,
[G]then [Am]I would
Then we could grow a little closer,
I think we're [G]getting [C]closer
I think we're getting closer
