Slow It Down
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that shorties in my bedroom saying "what should we do?" I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Now that shorties up in my place saying do it her way
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Slow it dooooown. [x4]
Uh, gotta find her.
Thought to my mind, don't wanna be lonely tonight
[VERSE 1]
Stepped out, threw my diamond s sweater
On to the grocery, quarter eleven
The aisles with the beverages, 347
Seen two college chicks, why you gigglin?
I asked, they said "you be on television"
"Wait, your Tyga, my friend wants a picture"
So you live close by? Next thing I'm looking in her eyes
[CHORUS]
Now that shorties in my bedroom saying "what should we do?"
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Now that shorties up in my place saying do it her way
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Slow it dooooown. [x4]
Uh, gotta find her.
Thought to my mind, don't wanna be lonely tonight
Whatever
[VERSE 2]
Later on, hit the club. I'm chillen
Funny how time flies when you in it
Valet Bentley, gently tinted
Seen misses, she use to stay in my building
Ten fifty
God, never seen you in a dress before
So you moved? Where to?
"To the hills of Hollywood, you should come.. visit.. soon"
[CHORUS]
Now that shorties in my bedroom saying "what should we do?"
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Now that shorties up in my place saying do it her way
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Slow it dooooown. [x4]
[BREAK-DOWN]
Hoooou, ooooooh (no need to rush it, ya know)
So take your time
As the one for me
So ease your mind
As the one for me
[VERSE 3]
Uhh, I'm feeling better already
We've been steady
Put a diamond lump on your damn pinkie
I do miss you, just been busy
Do you miss me?
How bout I come get you?
[CHORUS]
Now that shorties in my bedroom saying "what should we do?" I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Now that shorties up in my place saying do it her way
I said "hey, don't slow it down"
Slow it dooooown. [x4]
The song "Slow it Down" by Tyga starts with a chorus that tells the listener that he doesn't want things to slow down or come to a halt when he has a girl over. He doesn't want her to lose momentum and essentially wants to keep things moving. He talks about finding the girl he desires and how he met her at a grocery store. She apparently recognized him from being on TV and asked for a picture. When he noticed the amusement on two college girls' faces, he approached them, and they confirmed that he is the guy from TV. After a brief interaction, he moves to the club and sees the girl he wanted to see before. He tells her that it's been an extended period since he's seen her in a dress and wants to know where she has moved. She suggests that Tyga visit her shortly.
The chorus reminds the listener of how Tyga doesn't want things slowing down with the girl. He wants her to take her time, but not to slow it down. The breakdown in the middle of the song is a calming moment, telling a girl that there's no need to rush things, trying to ease her worries. Tyga in the last verse talks about his appreciations for the girl and how he misses her. He wants to put a diamond on her finger and suggests picking her up. The chorus follows with a continuation of Tyga not wanting anything to slow down when it comes to physical intimacy.
