Baby girl, I’m begging you
Slowdown and take a deep breath
Life is not a race
The first place won’t get an award
You’re going at your own rhythm
On your own condition
Cause you’re not competing with anyone
Make sure you’re moving, that’s all
Limp, climb, crawl, walk, or run if that’s what you want

Baby girl, calm down
yes, your acquaintance from school
will seems doing good
and will apparently accomplish more things than you did
That’s fine
Be truly happy for them
Cause you’re not competing with anyone
Make sure you’re moving, that’s all
Limp, climb, crawl, walk, or run if that’s what you want

Baby girl, relax
Just because you didn’t get there yet by
Whatever deadline you fixed or the society pressure on you
Doesn’t mean you failed
I know you’ve been craving for a win
To show them that you can too
But you’re not competing with anyone, baby girl
Make sure you’re moving, that’s all
Limp, climb, crawl, walk, or run if that’s what you want

Baby girl, slowdown
You want everything, now
You want the glory
Slowdown and smell the failures
they have something to teach you as well
Like the weeds
They can teach you about persistence
Baby girl, enjoy the thorns as you would the flowers
