I saw you walking
Down on Melrose
You looked like an angel
Straight out of heaven, girl
I was blown away by
All I have to do is catch up to you
Hook:
Slow down I just wanna get to know you
But don't turn around
Cuz that pretty round thing looks good to me
Slow down never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie
A butterfly tattoo
Right above your naval
Your belly button's pierced too just like I like it girl
Come take a walk with me
You'll be impressed by
The game that I kick to you
It's over-rollin' with you yeah
Bridge:
Like a flower fully bloomed in the summertime, you're ready
To be watered by this conversation, you're ready
And we all can use shine like the sun
Let me be the one to enjoy you
Let's kick it girl
(Hook x2)
Oh baby you know by now that I want you bad
I'm floating on open air I can't come down
Cupid hit me already damn
Now I can't leave till seven digits are in my hand, my hand
(Bridge)
(Hook x2)
Slow down never seen anything so lovely
Cutie
(Hook)
The song "Slow Down" by Bobby Valentino featuring Memphis Bleek and Nas is a captivating love song that talks about a guy who spots a beautiful girl walking down Melrose street looking like an "angel straight out of heaven." At first sight, he is blown away by her sexiness, and all he wants is to catch up with her and get to know her better. However, he urges her not to turn around because her pretty round thing looks good to him. The lyrics in this song express the desire to get to know someone better and appreciate their beauty and what they bring into your life. The song is filled with metaphors, such as the butterfly tattoo and pierced naval, signifying that the girl is beautiful and sexy, just as the guy likes it.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the man's desire to get to know the girl better, and he asks her to slow down as he accompanies her down the street. The bridge then compares the girl's beauty to a flower fully bloomed in the summertime, ready to be watered by his conversation. He also emphasizes that everybody needs someone to enjoy in life, and he wants to be that person for her. In the end, the guy cannot contain the feelings that the girl has awakened in him, and he wants to leave with her seven digits in his hand.

Ō K A M I shieeet Social media would have been alright too better to keep in touch with family and friends but.....sadly it turned into negativity. We don’t use social media for what it was made for. They turned it all around and made it what it is today. 😢😒
