Jacob Banks - Slow Up Lyrics

What I've learned from a mirror look too hard and you'll find you a stranger😭

Sublime very deep

Daaamn. Needed that.

i wish i could go back..my middle daughter wont even talk to me now as i dislike her boyfriend and the road she is going down..im heartbroken..this song brings me to tears

This hit hard.

This song is a true masterpiece. I've just turned 25, but I haven't even lived. I wish I could grasp life like the young people from the video. I basically just spend all my life at my apartment. I suffer from deep depression and apathy for the most part of my life, and I live in a place where the lack of medical treatment is better than getting it. Honestly I have the opposite problem from what it shown here and I don't really know what to do. I think only another person could help me by sharing their lifefullness with me, but everybody keeps saying "you can only help yourself". I woud like to travel to beautiful places, try this and that, party, enjoy life in all ways, but I ain't got no money and people willing to join me in that, even if I had the money. Thanks for reading and sorry for venting here.

Your words in this song hit home. I'm still crying. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with the world!

POWERFUL!!!!!! CRY; CRY; CRY; AWESOME!


What I've learnt from the ocean
Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion
Let the sun have its moment
The moon will come
What I've learnt from a soldier
Every man is a son to a daughter
And we only remember
When we see the blood
Don't grow up on me
Keep that backstroke in your Afro
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Show off on me
What I've learnt from a traveler
There's no road that can lead to nirvana
There's a world to discover
But home is love
Mhm
What I've learnt from a mirror
Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger
Love is just a decision
The choice is yours
Don't grow up on me
Keep that backstroke in your Afro
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Don't grow up on me
Wear your Afro like your backbone
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Wear that Afro like your backbone
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Slow up homie

This songs goes straight to heart and evokes emotions I haven’t felt for ages. Just here finally can cried all tears out

Lubię.

His voice is telling a story in every song that he touched. He is so deep and so meaningful, and he means every word that he sings. I just love him

When I first heard this I thought it was a song from way back because they don’t make them like this no more 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I feel bad for the people who haven't been blessed with hearing your voice.

2020???

I have seen Jacob Banks in Nijmegen (Holland) a man with a golden voice.

Mais qui est le Maitre du Salement Nwaaar ?

Not once did true fans of music or hip of ever say that hip hop was dead for just that fact that rap has been lost. True fans understand the meaning behind "hip hop is dead". For me it was all black cultured music, soul, gospel, rap, RnB, etc...

It is music like this and songs like this that brings back hope. Music isn't lost it just hasn't met the right people and GOD DAMNIT if this guy didn't make it worth it to my head phones in.

This a song to show my kids when they are at age to understand this... man I'm not gonna lie I almost teared up.

oh Lord how I love this man

Escuchar esto me da una tranquilidad inmensa

Every parents song to theirs. OMG 😱💜

Flesh and Blood did not reveal the lyrics of this song to you Jacob, I know that for a FACT!!!

it makes me cry

"What I've learned from a traveler...there's no road that can lead to nirvana.
There's a world to discover, but home is love. Mhmm..what I've learned from a mirror...look too hard and you'll find you a stranger.
Love is just a decision. The choice is yours."




Profound.

When a song touches your mind, body and soul......❤

My gf asked me to listen to this.. 🤔 it’s a great song though

Verry nice

Beautiful

Daaaaaaaamn!

Wow. Well done.

'Every man is a son to a daughter '
👍

Superb! Has me crying my eyes out!

Damn, this is some good shit right here.

"What I've learned from the ocean
How to dance and rejoice in the motion
Let the sun have its moment
The moon will come"

This song keep getting better with each listen

Wear your Afro like your Backbone!!! Enough said... B1

Song was playing in the background.. needed to see what these words meant he was singing... tears, just tears.

THIS. IS. IT.

The most beautiful voice I’ve heard in a long time....I lost my son 7 years ago and this was so much too my heart tonight.

There is nothing like the bond between parents and children, especially to us Muslims.

This shit hits so hard because it just makes me so sad my mom is going to die soon and my baby boy is getting old so fast and soon my time will come

Omg crying rn for realzzz this is beautiful. My son is about to be 15 and the last 2 years he's been with his father and I've missed so much. I can't see him as much as I want to and he's at the age of not needing mom around... I wish I could just go back 2 years and do things differently 😖💔

How can 875 people dislike this?!

Yup definitely brought out some pent up emotions. Parenting is hard and sometimes I just wish my kids were older but this song taught me to love these moments because I’m going to be begging them to slow up on me

It's been a year! ☹

On my block sent me here... R.i.p Olivia!

Did you sing "Big Rich Town" at the end of episode 10 season 6 of Power?

I really miss my mom and dad☹️

Really, really miss my mom too. Sending love.
