Slow
18 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stickering in the scene
My city showing love
Why leave
Hide and seek
Hard to deserve a thing
Low control greed
Living with a curvy queen
Lean on the weak
Nah my folks pillars
All we do is burn and bleed
You heard the wrong history
Who they call king no surprise no mystery
That the song he sing couldn't mean shit to me
Fall for the scheme gotta crawl when you leave
Hedgehog steez getting all of the rings
And funny looking babes all day
Missouri to Mozambique
Skeet skeet tongue in cheek
18, save your thumb no spacebar
You looking at the stack and I'm dropping all face cards
You know it's bad but you can't stop
Knock knock Swisher Sweets in your trick-or-treat bag
Certain things ain't a problem if you getting paid
Made time for it before and now you can't wait
Pray, hope, wish, work…no dice
Whole life go numb like slow ice
Paper tower of all aces
Face fell stiff with the hail and rain
Celly pics when the spaceship came
7 billion stayed basic
The villain made the A-list
A karmamatic toxic reaction
Multiplied high speed Nikes with no traction
Video was sonically shitty with bad acting
Remain entertained we flipping shit all backwards
But certain things ain't a problem if you getting paid
Made time for it before and now you can't wait
Pray, hope, wish, work…no dice
Whole life go numb like slow ice
And it's a dark place
When you can see the lightning
But not the brightness
The lyrics to 18's song "Slow" describe a sense of ambivalence towards success and materialism. The singer acknowledges the perks of financial gain, such as being able to afford luxury items and having people show them love, but also recognizes the potential pitfalls of it all, including a lack of control over one's greed and the development of dirty dreams. Additionally, the singer questions the validity of societal constructs such as titles and wealth, suggesting that they hold no true value or meaning.
The mention of "hide and seek" and "lean on the weak" suggests a feeling of insecurity and reliance on others, possibly due to the uncertainty and chaos that comes with fame and wealth. The singer also notes the importance of those around them, referring to their "folks pillars" and "curvy queen," but also acknowledges the pain and suffering that sometimes accompanies relationships, such as burning and bleeding.
The lines "whole life go numb like slow ice" and "dark place when you can see the lightning but not the brightness" emphasize the paradoxical nature of success and how it can cause people to feel both numb and overwhelmed at the same time. In this way, "Slow" depicts an internal struggle and the mixed emotions that come with achieving success and wealth.

Been flickering the high-beams
I have been shining my light to show my presence
Stickering in the scene
I am putting stickers everywhere to make myself known
My city showing love
My hometown appreciates me
Why leave
Why should I go anywhere else when I have support here?
Hide and seek
I can't hide from my problems forever
Hard to deserve a thing
It's difficult to earn what I have
Low control greed
I struggle to control my own greed
Living with a curvy queen
I am in a relationship with a woman I find attractive
Still having dirty dreams
I still have impure thoughts
Lean on the weak
I take advantage of those who are vulnerable
Nah my folks pillars
My family and friends are my support system
All we do is burn and bleed
We endure hardships together
You heard the wrong history
You got the facts wrong
Who they call king no surprise no mystery
The person they claim is king is not impressive
That the song he sing couldn't mean shit to me
I don't care about the music he puts out
Fall for the scheme gotta crawl when you leave
If you fall for a scam, you will suffer when it falls apart
Hedgehog steez getting all of the rings
I am becoming more successful
And funny looking babes all day
I spend my time around unattractive women
Missouri to Mozambique
I have been around the world
Skeet skeet tongue in cheek
I am being playful but also crude
18, save your thumb no spacebar
I am typing with shortcuts because I am skilled
You looking at the stack and I'm dropping all face cards
I am better than you at what I do, and it's obvious
You know it's bad but you can't stop
You know something is wrong, but you can't change your ways
Knock knock Swisher Sweets in your trick-or-treat bag
You got something you didn't expect in a bad way
Certain things ain't a problem if you getting paid
Money can solve some problems
Made time for it before and now you can't wait
I did something earlier and now I'm excited to do it again
Pray, hope, wish, work…no dice
I have tried everything and nothing has worked
Whole life go numb like slow ice
My entire existence is becoming dull and uninteresting
And it's a dark place
My situation is depressing
When you can see the lightning
I can see the danger ahead
But not the brightness
I can't see how to avoid the danger

lyrics 18-one D
I got a heart, and I got a soul
Believe me, I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh-oh
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
We took a chance
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
So pour me a drink, oh love
And let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything we can
Living love in slow motion, motion, motion
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh-oh-oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
When we were 18
Oh, Lord, when we were 18
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
