[Verse 1]: [JID]
Feelin’ the weight of the world, hands on my shoulders
I’m just a youngin’ tryna get older (old nigga)
Heart beat colder, city lights brighter (brighter)
People talk big, but they fuckin' stories gettin' lighter
I write lines like lifelines, paint ‘em in fuckin' gold
Been chasin' my dreams since I was, like, 10 years old (ten, nigga)
Mama said hustle, I ain’t get it right then (what?)
But I knew one day, I’d be playin’ for 10 out of 10 (ten, nigga)
Chorus]: [JID]
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Start to stop walkin' (walkin')
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)

[Verse 2]: [Kendrick Lamar]
Stop walkin', take a look where you are
Stop walkin', don’t let the fuckin' journey scar
You runnin' but you don’t even know where you been
Slow down, breathe out, let the healing begin
Feet been draggin’ through this mud, lost sight of where I’m goin’
Tryna keep the pace but all my damn pain been overflowin’
They tell me keep on marchin’, but my soul needs rest
‘Cause every step I take feels like I’m losin' what’s left
Chasin’ after dreams that barely keep me alive
But the truth been whisperin’, sayin’, "Stop, survive."
Every road ain’t meant to walk, some paths you gotta leave
Sometimes you niggas stand still just to finally breathe
Clock tickin’ fast, we been runnin’ from the past
But these burdens we carry got us movin’ too fast
Lost in the fuckin' hustle, tryna find what we lack
But every step forward is a fuckin' step backtrack
I been dancin’ with the devil in the depths of the night
Thinkin' speed gon' save me, but it don't feel right
Sometimes stoppin’ is the bravest thing we niggas could do
Turn around, see the battles we done fought through
Chorus]: [JID]
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Start to stop walkin' (walkin')
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)


[Verse 3]: [Kendrick Lamar]
They said keep climbin’, but the summit ain’t close
Tradin' peace for a hustle, feelin' like a damn ghost
Every mile I walked, I left pieces behind
Now I’m standin’ still, just tryin' to rewind
I see niggas in the shadows, all the moments I missed
Chasin' things that don’t last, the hoes I shoulda kissed
Thought I was makin' progress, only gettin' more lost
Now I’m learnin' to pause, knowin' every step got a cost
Voices echo in the quiet, things I tried to ignore
All the answers I was lookin' for were there in the floor
It’s a long road, and the damn pain been my guide, (guide)
But maybe restin’ my soul is how I find my pride
Every mountain I scaled, but I forgot the view
Now I’m sittin’ in fuckin' silence, just to feel what’s true
Life been callin' me to rush, but now I’m feelin' the cost
And sometimes stoppin' is the way I don’t get lost
Chorus]: [JID]
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Start to stop walkin' (walkin')
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
Understand you gotta stop walkin' (stop walkin)
