Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ee (da da da da)
Baby (da da da da)
You go chop banana
From Ghana
O na na na na na na na na na
Sexy lady
See that sexy girl from Ghana
She too fine
One of a kind
I call her sexy Nana
Yeeehhh! Ah
She killing inside
I can't deny her (ya ya ya)
Q-Beats dropping instrumentals straight from Ghana (ya ya)
See I've been killing every show
I've been rocking every party
Where the sexy ladies pull up and do the dutty whine for me
See I've been killing every show
Everyday I'm getting money
And I wanna spend it all on the girl of my dreams
And that's you my queen

Slow down
Let me talk to you
My baby let me talk to you
Let me talk to you baby
Oh naa
Oh yeah

Slow down

The way she walk and tin
Make the bad man wan sing
What you feel long aint no short hand fling
You deserve a diamond ring
Black woman skin smooth
When she no bleach she no burn up
Make we take it back to the root
Gyal me and you wanna roll up
I wanna make you my number one
See reality I say I no dey talk and walk
Woman if you give me your mind
Na me na your heart I go lie (eh)

Slow down

Love all night till you pass out
And I pass out
And we wake up
In the morning

Overall Meaning

The song "Slow Down" by R2bees is a love song that speaks about a man who is smitten by a lady from Ghana. The lyrics start by acknowledging the lady's beauty and calling her "sexy Nana." The chorus urges the lady to slow down and listen to the man talk to her. The verses speak about the man's desire to make the lady his number one and his willingness to spend all his money on her.


The bridge highlights the lady's African features, her smooth black skin, and her figure-eight shape. The love between the couple is evident in the way they spend their time together, kissing for breakfast, and going out for dinner. The song ends with the man asking the lady not to be boring and asking her to show him something bad.


The song is a testament to the beauty and allure of African women, and the lyrics are filled with cultural references, such as the mention of Ghanaian bananas and the use of African languages like "Bheda mekasa" and "O bhekasa." The song also highlights the importance of taking things slow in a relationship and getting to know someone on a deeper level.
