**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

Yeah, Poo Bear, Lupe, Eva

Happy birthday, you know

Ha, F.N.F.U.P

Ya know what I'm sayin', slow down

[Verse 2: Eva]

Gotta be careful 'cause nobody's gonna care for you

Like you do (Like you)

And nobody's gonna have your back

Like you do (You do)

Just be sure before you go and make (And make)

A move (A move)

You've got the world to lose

[Pre-Chorus: Eva]

You need to stop and listen

'Cause every word I say is true

Try to pay attention

'Cause I'm just tryna watch out for you

I know you're on a mission

I see how you're livin

But you don't wanna end up missin'

I think you wanna listen to me

[Chorus: Eva]

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

Before you hurt yourself

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

It's just not worth it

Save your tears (Save your tears)

For a rainy day (For a rainy day)

Just slow down (Just slow it all the way down)

I'd slow down (Just slow it all the way down)

[Verse 2: Eva]

You're so innocent

They're gonna try to run a game (A game) on you (On you)

Just be aware of all the lies that they use (They use)

I can help it 'cause I've been in your shoes (Your shoes)

I'm givin you the rules (The rules)

[Pre-Chorus: Eva]

You need to stop and listen

'Cause every word I say is true

Try to pay attention

'Cause I'm just tryna watch out for you

I know you're on a mission

I see how you're livin

But you don't wanna end up missin'

I think you wanna listen to me

[Chorus: Eva]

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

Before you hurt yourself

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

It's just not worth it

Save your tears (Save your tears)

For a rainy day (For a rainy day)

Just slow down (Just slow it all the way down)

I'd slow down (Just slow it all the way down)

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

You movin' too fast, you movin' too quick

You heavy on the gas, you movin' too swift

Can't keep up the pace, might not finish the race

But do it now 'fore it's too late to switch

Like how you make an Impala lift

But this ain't a car, this your heart and it's hard to be fixed

You gon' break it if you don't downshift

And I know you get a rush when you hang around risk

But you gon' get enough when you breakin' down sick

All ill, can't move your wheels and feelin' like shit

Just a mile back you was feelin' quite brisk

Now you sittin' on bricks, wit ya car on strict

Radio gone, insurance won't cover

Paint job wreck and you draggin your muffler

Wouldn't listen then, but I bet you hear now

'Cause you got a speed ticket

'Cause you wouldn't slow down, yeeeah

[Chorus: Eva]

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

Before you hurt yourself

I'd slow down (All the way down, down, down)

It's just not worth it

Save your tears (Save your tears)

For a rainy day (For a rainy day)

Just slow down (Just slow it all the way down)

I'd slow down (Just slow it all the way down)
