Calm Down
Tellaman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ok, I messed up
I shouldn't have taken her home
I was caught up in my zone
I was there, but I was gone
And I regret her
Shorty wasn't even my type
It was just one of those nights
I can't do nothing for ya
Why not do something for her?
When I wake up in the morning
She leaves and I don't call her
And think of you, then I frown
Beat myself up till I'm down
As you get word from somebody
Cause Durban is such a small town
Calm down, calm down
We don't have to fight yeah
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Arms down, arms down
You don't have to hurt me (no no)
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Calm down (calm down)
Baby, calm down
Arms down (arms down)
Baby, Arms down (babe...)
Baby, calm down
Girl, this shit ain't easy
I didn't mean to hurt you, girl believe me
Now you look away when you see me
Why you look away when you see me?
I remember how we did it back then
How you used to let the boy tap that
Now you got me feeling like I got you sidetracked
Anti-climax, where your mind at?
Girl we got this energy
Now you be acting like you ain't feeling me?
For you girl, I would commit a felony
You know I'm the one these freaks be tellin me
You know I'm improving
You don't have to do this, girl
I know what your view is
Finding out make you lose it
Calm down, calm down
We don't have to fight, yeah
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Arms down, arms down
You don't have to hurt me
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Calm down (girl)
Baby, calm down
Arms down (arms down)
Baby, Arms down (say, why you put your arms down,baby...)
Baby, calm down
We all know everything is fair in love and war
When it comes to fighting for your love I'm lovin war
Love is war celebrate that shit like busting corks
Up and down the streets into your arms, I'm running towards
You remember me, I still remember you too
Memory intact though we higher than youtube
Screws loose, lights are like confused blue
Opposite genders always confusing who's who (who he, who she)
Now I may lose my temper, I may say some shit (sorry)
But since it's April we should let all hurdles lap quick
Take it back to Botanic Gardens
Fucking in the restroom on some player's shit
Epic should have made a kid
Super daddy, don't need no one to babysit
When he chose to play a role that was a great assist
Now we say scoring, B.S. ignoring
Other women are stalling, they ain't important
Calm down, calm down
We don't have to fight, yeah
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Arms down, arms down
You don't have to hurt me
If we talk about it
We can figure it out
Calm down
Baby, calm down
Arms down
Baby, Arms down
Baby, calm down
The song "Calm Down" by Tellaman talks about a situation where the singer says he made a mistake by taking someone home who he was not interested in, but was blinded by the lights and caught up in his zone. He regrets his actions and feels guilty about them, which is why he beats himself up and frowns. However, he finds it hard to move on from the situation and forget about it because he sees the girl he should have been with and it reminds him of his mistake. The song is a plea for calmness in the midst of a misunderstanding or fight as the singer deems unnecessary, asking that they talk about it and figure things out.
In the song's chorus, the singer is trying to convince the girl to calm down and not hurt him since he did not intend to hurt her. He believes that talking about things in a calm manner can help sort out their differences without hurting each other. The song talks about the complications of love, the fear of losing someone, and the memories that keep haunting us. It also talks about being regretful of doing something you shouldn't have and not being able to forget about it.

Ok, I messed up
I made a mistake
I shouldn't have taken her home
I regret bringing her to my place
I was caught up in my zone
I was distracted
I was there, but I was gone
I was physically present, but mentally not there
And I regret her
I feel sorry for hurting her
Shorty wasn't even my type
She wasn't the kind of girl I usually go for
I was blinded by the lights
I was overwhelmed by the situation
It was just one of those nights
It was a random, spontaneous encounter
I can't do nothing for ya
I can't help you with anything
Why not do something for her?
Why don't I try to make it up to her?
When I wake up in the morning, She leaves and I don't call her
I don't reach out to her after she leaves
And think of you, then I frown
I feel sad when I think of you
Beat myself up till I'm down
I feel guilty and ashamed
As you get word from somebody, Cause Durban is such a small town
Word travels fast in our small town
Calm down, calm down
Let's relax and not argue
We don't have to fight yeah
We don't need to be hostile
If we talk about it, We can figure it out
We can resolve our issues by communicating
Arms down, arms down

You don't have to hurt me (no no)
You don't need to harm me physically or emotionally
Girl, this shit ain't easy
Our situation is difficult
I didn't mean to hurt you, girl believe me
I didn't intend to cause you harm
Now you look away when you see me
You avoid eye contact with me
Why you look away when you see me?
What's the reason behind your avoidance?
I remember how we did it back then
I recall our past experiences
How you used to let the boy tap that
How we used to be intimate
Now you got me feeling like I got you sidetracked
I feel like you're not as interested in me
Anti-climax, where your mind at?
Where are your thoughts?
Girl we got this energy
We have a connection
Now you be acting like you ain't feeling me?
Why are you behaving like you're not into me?
For you girl, I would commit a felony
I'm willing to do anything for you
You know I'm the one these freaks be tellin me
Other women try to get with me, but you know you're the one I want
You know I'm improving
I'm making progress
You don't have to do this, girl
You don't need to act this way
I know what your view is
I understand your perspective
Finding out make you lose it
Knowing the truth makes you upset
We all know everything is fair in love and war
Anything goes in relationships
When it comes to fighting for your love I'm lovin war
I'll fight for our relationship with everything I got
Love is war celebrate that shit like busting corks
We should enjoy making up after a fight
Up and down the streets into your arms, I'm running towards
I'll go anywhere to be with you
You remember me, I still remember you too
We both remember each other
Memory intact though we higher than youtube
We both have our memories despite being under the influence
Screws loose, lights are like confused blue
We're a little crazy and disoriented
Opposite genders always confusing who's who (who he, who she)
It's hard to tell who's who when it comes to opposite sexes
Now I may lose my temper, I may say some shit (sorry)
I sometimes get angry and don't mean the things I say
But since it's April we should let all hurdles lap quick
We should let go of our issues quickly
Take it back to Botanic Gardens
Let's revisit a place that holds meaning for us
Fucking in the restroom on some player's shit
We were being intimate in a public restroom
Epic should have made a kid
We should have started a family
Super daddy, don't need no one to babysit
I'll be a great father and don't need help
When he chose to play a role that was a great assist
I'll always support and assist my family
Now we say scoring, B.S. ignoring
We're focusing on our family and ignoring anything else
Other women are stalling, they ain't important
Other women are not priority
Calm down
Relax
Baby, calm down
Please don't be mad
Arms down
Don't get aggressive
Baby, Arms down
Don't be violent
Baby, calm down
Please don't be upset
