Smoking on this gas shawty calling me a lighter
I don't want you now cause you'll always be a liar
I don't want you now cause I'm playing with some fire
Slow it down
I'm drinking too much I need to slow it down
Yeah, you say that you love me now you not around
Shawty want my heart but I'm still out of bounce
Pop one pop two pop three more
Yeah she on my brain and I cant ignore
I know what you doing baby close that door
I know what you doing baby give me more
I don't know what to say
See this shit change ways in my brain
I saw my bitch change every other day
And now my real friends acting like they fake
Yeah, we get poppin all night on the mattress
Yeah, I think that girl should become and actress
Yeah, She faked so much I don't know what happened
Yeah, she like me now cause she like when I get higher
Smoking on this gas shawty calling me a lighter
I don't want you now cause you'll always be a liar
I don't want you now cause I'm playing with some fire
Slow it down
I'm drinking too much I need to slow it down
Yeah, you say that you love me now you not around
Shawty want my heart but I'm still out of bounce
Yeah, I think I'm gonna fly her out of town
The lyrics of enxy's song "Slow It Down" explore the consequences of indulging in hedonistic pleasures. The singer of the song is well-versed in party culture and drug use, and has become desensitized to the consequences of his actions. He is smoking "gas" (a slang term for a strong strain of weed) and popping pills without any consideration for his well-being. Despite being aware of the negative effects of his behavior, he continues to engage in it because he enjoys the feeling of being high. However, he recognizes that he needs to slow down his lifestyle, as his excessive drinking and drug use are catching up to him.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of fleeting relationships. The singer is no longer interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with someone who has a history of lying to him. He is equally uninterested in settling down with someone who wants his heart, preferring to remain emotionally detached from others. The only person he is willing to invest in is someone he is flying out of town with, likely for a temporary tryst.
Overall, "Slow It Down" is a poignant commentary on the pitfalls of hedonism and the transience of modern relationships. It urges listeners to be mindful of their actions and to consider the long-term effects of their decisions.

Bajale el volumen al tiempo que abrumen solo los recuerdos muertos
En ensueño cuando estoy despierto
Busco mil maneras en las que te manifiesto y confieso pienso en ti hasta si enfiesto, encuestó cada célula de mi y es unanime que si
sigues aquí después de despedir nuestras miradas y su forma de mentir, discutir si formular palabras
dañarnos sin contar con armas com un par de tragos diras que me amas
Pero bebe soy un hombre con escamas
Que no da frutos por que quemo sus ramas
Encadenada al drama esta nuestra trama
Carezco de alma hoy dedico la otra nada
