Lyric

I don’t match that pace

I don’t chase that race

They moving fast, out of place

I keep time at my own rate

I don’t match that pace

I don’t need that space

If it costs my peace

I let it drift away

They call speed ambition

Call rest a delay

Every pause look like weakness

In the light they display

They stacking moves for attention

I been trimming my days

I don’t win by reaction

I don’t move when they say

Everybody in a hurry

Like time’s about to break

I slowed down just to notice

What I kept missing at pace

I don’t flex how I’m living

I don’t measure my place

If I’m late to the noise

I’m exactly on time

I don’t match that pace

I don’t chase that race

They moving fast, out of place

I keep time at my own rate

I don’t match that pace

I don’t need that space

If it costs my peace

I let it drift away

They say “keep up or fall”

Like there’s only one lane

But I seen people running

Still ending the same

I don’t move from the fear

Of being left in the dust

If I’m choosing my steps

I’m already ahead enough

They trade calm for momentum

Trade depth for a glance

I protect what I’m building

By not joining the dance

I don’t rush into moments

Just to say I was there

If it don’t feel aligned

I don’t force myself in

Maybe pace ain’t progress

Maybe slow is a skill

Maybe staying in rhythm

Is stronger than will

I don’t need to arrive

At the same time as them

If I move when it’s right

That’s a win in itself

I don’t match that pace

I don’t chase that race

They moving fast, out of place

I keep time at my own rate

I don’t match that pace

I don’t need that space

If it costs my peace

I let it drift away

I don’t envy their speed

I don’t borrow their stress

I been learning my limits

Learning what I protect

If I pause, it’s intention

If I move, it’s precise

I don’t live in a hurry

I live once, that’s enough

I don’t match that pace

I match myself
