[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
And I had to let go of my ego
I can't stand my reflection no more
And I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow

[Verse 1: Struggle Jennings]
Sometimes it feels too good to be true
I don't know what else to do but to get up and move
Build an enterprise, change my children's lives
The way I feel inside, my time is minimized
I got a plan devised, problems I'ma improvise
I can't lose my temper got too much to jeopardize
You can't trust no one of these days they gon' testify
I battle with myself daily, I'm a Gemini
Two sides to every story so I empathize
I done come a long way since I went inside
Stand at the finish line, can I really finish mine
I don't hear 'em when the criticize or they tell them lies
Give 'em time, ha ha
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
And I had to let go of my ego
I can't stand my reflection no more
And I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow

[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
From the roads I've been travelin' to the demons I'm battlein'
Tell the truth, sometimes I feel like I'm unravelin'
I've been havin' my head down and facin' these challenges
I don't know, I feel like I've been wastin' my talent
I've been movin' in hate, I ain't been movin' in love
You gotta be the first to admit it when you fuckin' up
I've been tryin' to get away, I've been focused on the life
And I learned that real change doesn't happen over night
Tell my girl to blow 'em twice, before I roll the dice
This is our last chance, it's the bottom of the ninth
I can feel the wind comin', put the bottles on the ice
It's about fuckin' time, we've been losin' all our life
Cheers to change
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I woke up this mornin' feelin' low
And I had to let go of my ego
I can't stand my reflection no more
And I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Slo-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't know why I can't take it slow
