Slowly
Baby I think we should take it slowly
Lately I been working so much show me
If you really tryna be my only
My homie
Let me know if I’m not moving fast enough for you
I just can’t let it go like that
Baby, control your feelings

Keep them on the low
It's no one’s business what we do
Keep your interest to you
Don’t go off telling all of your friends
What we just did, in your new crib
Let me know if I’m not moving fast enough for you
I just can’t let it go like that
Slowly
Baby I think we should take it slowly
Lately I been working so much show me
If you really tryna be my only
My homie
Let me know if I’m not moving fast enough for you
I just can’t let it go like that
Baby, control your feelings
Keep them on the low

It's no one’s business what we do
Let it go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S.M.D Music's song "Overtime" explore the intricacies of a romantic relationship and the importance of taking things slow, even when both parties are interested in each other. The singer begins by stating that they think they should take things slowly, hinting that perhaps they have been moving too quickly before. They also ask their lover to show them if they really want to be with them, emphasizing the need for open and honest communication in relationships.

The singer then goes on to caution their lover to keep their feelings under control, urging them to keep their interest in the relationship to themselves, and not go sharing it with other people. This suggests that the singer may be worried that their relationship might not be popular with others, or that their lover might not be as invested in the relationship as they are. Overall, the lyrics seem to point to a sense of uncertainty and caution in the singer, perhaps due to past experiences with relationships or a desire to protect themselves from getting hurt.
