Grow Up Slow Lyrics by Rabbi Darkside

Prospect Avenue

2013

Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
[Grace Galu Kalambay]
Blue skies ahead is all the forecast
A wintry riverbed vast sparkling glass
Wind gusts pass
We spin Sleigh bed Hold fast
Knowing it in grey
Memories wouldn’t outlast
In all this weakness
I’m reminded of warm sunlit beaches
Resounding through my mind
Songs you teach plus
Stories of old
Not knowing how they’d reached us
Hardly notice time pass
Sand slipping through our toes
Slipping through an hour glass
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
Grow up slow
We’ve got a long way to go
[Rabbi Darkside]
This is for my single mothers
And my distant brothers
And my second cousins
And my kitchen cupboards
When it was filled with nothing
For the father figures and the wad of rigors
And the lots of liquor and the blocked up arteries
The Poppa jitters
Dusty army fatigues
The forgotten dinners
Bailing him out in winter
Reeking more than a hint of
For my young widows and souls that’s unsettled
And tongues that feel brittle and bones that feel rattled
For my first offenders and their family members
For the bedtime stories that always have happy endings
For those who’ve known no choice
Known work their whole life
No perks slow nights still find their soul’s light
Dream acts enacting and police not being savage
And pristine urban planning and complete satisfaction
Peace merchant macking
A piece of mind for everybody on the Planet Earth for whom that’s lacking
A t-shirt ain’t action but words mean the world
So we shift a bit of consciousness when letters form pearls
For my veteran teachers who keep the lessons fresh
Dedicated to Kibibi your presence is heaven sent
Well the streets aren’t paved with gold
So we better make our own road
We’ve got a long way to go
So you might as well grow up slow
Grow up slow
Slow your roll
Don’t you know
You got a long way to go
