Take It Slow Lyrics

 

I’d like to protect mine
You like empty threats and coalitions
Demon time, rum and lime and this little spritzer
Keep in my mind, I was fine but this little hiccup’s
Got me lying in my bed, meeting 4 A.M. again
More lines of “Speak to me’s,” “Let me in”
I’m good, I’m fine, think I’ve got this, friend
Yeah stress makes for better tales
But sex makes for better sales, a slave to this very world

From little girls to grown women
From they won’t let us inside, now we own the buildings
This isn’t a manifestation of my imagination
This was written long before my parents got acquainted
So I’m stating what God has put in plan
Let no man take that vision
And take your cans and make them cannots
I’ve got the gems right in my hands, I’m feeling just like Thanos
I’ll put dent up on your van if you try cross my lane
A little splash up in a puddle, you can’t ride this wave
We’re trying to break a fucking system and effect some change
And you want spend change
I’ma switch that pain ’cause I can’t feel that pain

So take it slow for me
And I’ll be there for you
Hold you down, I can
Take it slow, take it slow
Just take it slow for me
And I’ll be there for you
Hold you down, I can take it slow
Just take it slow, I’ll take it slow

Hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food
Yeah, hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food

Hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food
Yeah, hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food

Alright, reputation, reputation, reputation
Yo, I lost my reputation
And at the same time found my inspiration
In the silence of the basement
Patient because I’m good enough

I see these people on the bus
Heads down instead of looking up
Swiping for the love
Views and likes, comments like a drug
Yo, I had to turn around and pull that plug

How can I fucking win comparing others to my kin?
Comments on the colour of my skin got me flicking through
A couple say that I’m the king
A couple say that I got this double chin, it’s fucking grim

I spend the next hour looking in the mirror
Wonder if I’m really getting bigger, my hair thinner
Heart breaking as I grow a little bitter
Getting jealous to the glamor and the glitter but it’s not real life

Close my eyes, had to take my time
Realise that the life I find is not the life online
Locked my phone off and walked outside
And looked up to the sun that shines

So take it slow for me
And I’ll be there for you
Hold you down, I can
Take it slow, take it slow
Just take it slow for me
And I’ll be there for you
Hold you down, I can take it slow
Just take it slow, I’ll take it slow

Hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food
Yeah, hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food

Hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food
Yeah, hands up bless man, mek I come through
You’re a badman calm down, thought become food
