Take Your Time
S.L.A.M. Feat. Joanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zone out now, one two, yo
This goes out to all coasts
East coast, West coast
And all across the nation, worldwide
Know what I mean? Relax, kick your feet up
Spark one, let me show you how it`s done
Blow lady
[Jane Eugene]
Sunrise, starts the day
Lay back, ease your pain
Don`t sweat, simple things
Take your time, do your thing
[Pete Rock]
As grains of sand pass from hand to hand
I watch time stand still I`m just one man
That`s out for all so all should be for one
Grew up on the drum with the J.B. "Unh!"
The son, who spun the record that his pop`s collected
Went on to create and perfect the unexpected
Funky beat sound watch the family "Get down!"
Slide with the right and give cousin a pound
Watch the young ones play and think back in the day
When fresh was the style, plus the word to say
It`s all love now, let me show you how
to take time out, and show you what life`s about
Chorus: Jane Eugene and Carl McIntosh
Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
Wo oh just a mattter of time
[Jane Eugene]
Feel the flow, and let it go
Unwind, relax your mind
Stay a while, take your time
Bet you`ll find, peace of mind
[Pete Rock]
With a, douse of soul, I`m back in control
My goal sees the world pass from young to old
Unfold a new tale, see yourself on scale
2000 the year my black people prevail
Yo straight up and down I got love for this son
Nine years in the mix and if time permits
I`ll continue to make my melody for the tapes
And walk the fine line between love and hate
Chorus 4X

Line by Line Meaning
Zone out now, one two, yo
Get ready to relax and listen up
This goes out to all coasts
This song is for everyone, everywhere
East coast, West coast
From the east coast to the west coast
And all across the nation, worldwide
And all over the world
Know what I mean? Relax, kick your feet up
Do you understand? Just relax and make yourself comfortable
Spark one, let me show you how it`s done
Light up a joint, and I'll teach you how to chill
Blow lady
Relax and let the music wash over you
Sunrise, starts the day
A new day has begun
Lay back, ease your pain
Take it easy and let go of your troubles
Don`t sweat, simple things
Don't worry about the little things
Take your time, do your thing
Take things at your own pace and do what makes you happy
As grains of sand pass from hand to hand
As time slips away
I watch time stand still I`m just one man
Time seems to slow down for me alone
That`s out for all so all should be for one
I'm here for everyone, so everyone should be there for each other
Grew up on the drum with the J.B. "Unh!"
I grew up with the drums and the James Brown sound
The son, who spun the record that his pop`s collected
I'm the son who played with my dad's record collection
Went on to create and perfect the unexpected
I created new sounds and perfected them
Funky beat sound watch the family "Get down!"
Listen to the funky beat and watch everyone dance
Slide with the right and give cousin a pound
Slide to the right and give your cousin a fist bump
Watch the young ones play and think back in the day
Watch the kids play and remember the good old days
When fresh was the style, plus the word to say
When being fresh and cool was popular, and had its own slang
It`s all love now, let me show you how
Now, it's all about love. Let me teach you how to love
to take time out, and show you what life`s about
Take some time to relax and I'll teach you what's really important in life
Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
Take your time and do things your own way; eventually everything will fall into place
Wo oh just a mattter of time
It's just a matter of time before everything works out
Feel the flow, and let it go
Let yourself get swept up in the music and relax
Unwind, relax your mind
Take it easy and clear your mind
Stay a while, take your time
Stay awhile and take your time
Bet you`ll find, peace of mind
You'll find tranquility and inner peace
With a, douse of soul, I`m back in control
With a touch of soul, I am confident and in control
My goal sees the world pass from young to old
My goal is to see the world change from youth to old age
Unfold a new tale, see yourself on scale
Tell a new story and see where you fit in
2000 the year my black people prevail
In the year 2000, black people finally succeeded
Yo straight up and down I got love for this son
Honestly, I have love for this music
Nine years in the mix and if time permits
After nine years of making music, if I have time...
I`ll continue to make my melody for the tapes
I'll keep making music for people to enjoy on cassette tapes
And walk the fine line between love and hate
I'll continue to find balance between love and hate in my music
