[Intro: Shad]

Slow

We’re gonna slow this one right down

Yeah


[Hook: Shad]

Slow

Take it slow, slow

Take it slow (slow)

Take it slow, slow

Take it slow

Take it slow


[Verse 1: Shad]

Life so stressful, feeling downcast

Tears behind the clown mask

Many wrestle with the brown bag

Need something retro for the soundtrack

On a vacay, chose to go to Montenegro 'cause it sound black

Where the lounge at? Can't a man find peace?

Miss childhood, life was like in Stand By Me

Now I’m sitting with some damp eyes listening to Landslide

Thinking 'bout, time and other things money can’t buy

Free

Deleted damn IG

Everyone fronting like bosses, franchisees

With some fine wines and a plate of pan-fried meats

And fries, man that’s always been the anti-me

I’m not anti-screen but what seems a sight for sore eyes is just a eye-sore

I’m sorry, we cyborgs

One-eyed, short-sighted

Borderline blind, bored

Overtime minds warped

Uh, kids like "He nice but he sound like a old person

All this soul-searching, and no twerking"

Now see me getting low working the pole 'til my bones hurting

Magic City, the nursing home version


[Hook: Shad]

Slow

Take it slow, (slow)

Take it slow

Take it slow (slow)


[Verse 2: Shad]

Slow

But watch that horsepower go man

I could watch a four hour show, flow’s pure flour

No Wonder Bread, he making more sourdough than those poor cowards

Bow your heads and pour a little Coors out for the many that's gone due to copying trends

I’m on the Baltic Sea rocking with some Latvian friends

That call me Kobe 'cause I ball and I’m awfully intense

(Kinda racist)

Not being sensitive about it

It’s cool, gotta think of things in context

I been a idol back before the singing contest show

I win at freestyles and the king of concepts—both

Own so many boats I might begin a conquest—nope

Never cared about material wealth

It’s like wool, I only care if my material’s felt

And my spiritual health

All my people saying "Ahhh, there he go with his lyrical self"

Slow
