Slow Down
A.J. Steel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tip top, chip-chop
Take her to the chop shop
She like love and hip-hop
I be wearing flip flops
I just flip the beat up
Text her tryna meet up
We could hit the beach up
You could kick your feet
We don't have to do shit
Look just let me prove it
Got me going crazy can't believe that I do this
All I know is that you real
And I don't wanna lose this, I don't wanna lose this
Waste your time no
I don't wanna waste yo time, slow down
Baby wanna make you mine oh
But you play you play you playing these games with me
She got the long hair with the really cool eyes
And all I know is I don't wanna your time
But I also know I really wanna make you mine
You bring Corona and I bring the lime
Remember that time we was chillin' on the beach
Took the train downtown got lost in the streets
Don't know what to say like I can't even
Thinking you should stay been gone long a week
She so damn sweet she feel amazing
Sign the sheet go through the phases
When she leaves I'm feeling jaded
All I do is contemplate it
Waste your time no
I don't wanna waste yo time, slow down
Baby wanna make you mine oh
But you play you play you playing these games with me
Queen but ya
Never want a ting would ya
Shoot for the starts and I reach for ya
All day
Arms stretched out I fiend for passion
Why you so cold like the winter time close
My heart breaks I see ya bent over
They all walk over you ya dont see
That I sent for ya shoot me right down I'm ya soldier
Time tick broken clock dope my composure the valley
Take you some time
See if I fade
Memory lane be the place I reside
Heart slow down I'm seeing your face
Waste your time no
I don't wanna waste yo time, slow down
Baby wanna make you mine oh
But you play you play you playing these games with me
Waste your time no
I don't wanna waste yo time, slow down




Baby wanna make you mine oh
But you play you play you playing these games with me
