that stay fly in some name brand tights
this gold digga don't love me, she wouldn't there when I was broke
if I fell shed disappear like smoke
I always ask why I even play myself messin round with these jokes
I gotta throwed lil mamma at home, I'm such a fool
and if you seen my gal playa you would know that I'm blessed
with a pretty face and beautiful breasts,
flat stomach, big bootie, bow legged thighs, runnin track legs,
and stay fly from her toes to her hair
plus I know that she loves me, been with me through thick and thin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Slow Down" by O.C. Brothers are about the realization of one's love and desire to slow down from being a playboy and dedicate himself to a woman who has been there through thick and thin for him. The lyrics begin with Lil' O, the singer, spending time with a woman who is physically attractive but, in his opinion, a gold digger who doesn't genuinely love him. He then contrasts this with the woman he has waiting for him at home - a pretty and intelligent woman who has stuck with him through everything. He sees her as a gift from God and realizes that he has been taking her for granted every time he cheats on her. He feels that it is time he committed to her and showed her the love and appreciation that she deserves. The chorus is sung by Big Moe and Lil' O, with the latter reflecting on how his previous ways of being a player and a baller are getting tiring, and he wants to settle down with one bad b*tch to spoil.


The theme of the song is a common one in the hip-hop genre, where the love and appreciation of a loyal partner is celebrated. Lil' O's realization of the importance of his relationship with his woman and his desire to treat her right is a reflection of the maturation process that one goes through when in a relationship. It showcases the importance of being faithful and committed to one's significant other.
