Slow It Down
Zaia Lyrics

I told you to slow it down
I advised you to take it easy and not rush through things.

I can take you 'round the town
I can show you around the city and we can explore together.

We can live a little
We can take risks and have new experiences.

Yeah
An expression of excitement and enthusiasm.

And you never tryna slow down
You always seem to be rushing and not taking a break.

Hold up, whoa now
A phrase used to ask someone to wait or slow down.

Stay up on the phone 'til the morning now
You stay on the phone late into the night until the morning.

Calm down
A phrase used to ask someone to relax.

Take it as a sign, should I roll now?
Consider this circumstance as an indication that I should take action.

Faster than a bullet to the sun, I'll be burnt down
I'll end up being destroyed if I continue to move too quickly.

Ah, take me to you leader
A request to be introduced to someone in charge or with power.

Sit and watch me heat up
Observe me become more passionate or excited.

Cause, lately you're the only thing I think of
You've been occupying my thoughts recently.

Keep me in the loop, post up take a kilo
Include me in your plans and provide information. A kilo is a drug reference, but in this context, it might mean getting an exciting experience.

Cause lately I've been blind, and I'm really tryna see love
I haven't been paying attention and looking for love.

Tell me tell me when you wake up
Update me on your status when you get up.

Why you put on make up?
What is the reason you're applying makeup?

Tell me, why you wanna go out?
Why is it necessary to go out?

Why can't we just chill and lay up?
Can't we relax and stay indoors?

I tell you, tell you that you glowed up
I acknowledge that you've improved.

But you never tryna hold up (never tryna hold up)
You never try to slow down or take a break.

All you do is speed up
You always seem to be in a rush.

We can live a forever
We can have a fulfilling and never-ending experience.

Nah nah nah nah nah nah ooooohh
A vocalization expressing emotion and excitement.

Nah nah nah nah nah nah oooooooohhh
A different vocalization expressing the same emotion.

NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH YEAAHHHH
A variation of the previous vocalization indicating joy and fun.

I'll take you 'round the town
I'll show you the city.

We can go down
We can experience new things.

Live forever
Have a fulfilling experience that seems never-ending.

Slow it down
Take it easy and slow down.

We can live a little
Be adventurous and take some risks.

Yeah yeah
An expression of agreement and enthusiasm.
