Slow It Down - Little Brother

This some grown man shit right here

Listen

I’m trying to man up see whats really good with you

Gentleman’s approach, not bring it hood to you

Same things that you hear everyday like

«Hey ma, hey boo, baby whats your name»

Please pull up a seat, I’m so glad you came

My mother call me Thomas you can do the same

Damn its so refreshing when you calling out my name

Been Pooh for so long it doesn’t sound the same

My occupation rap and I make a little change

I see you not impressed with what this life brings

Finished school, got a job, girl do your thing

It’s a lot of independent women wanna be claimed

Marry into money or marry into fame, or at least give birth to a check

WIth all due respect lets two-step in the name of like

Who says we gotta do the waltz all day and all night, it’s like

If love is not enough

We don’t have to rush

Come around, I’ll slow it down just for you

Lady you should be

Right here next to me

Come around, I’ll slow it down just for you

We can go to the movies

I’ll take you to the park and promise to have you home before the lights go out

Steady asking you questions what your life about

Oh and me, mine’s everything I scribe about

No doubt this my life and

Dedicated to this witting sacrificing everything for it

Wasted time I can’t afford

So if it ain’t you/then you know I’m cooped up to record

I’ll scoop you up in me Porsche, sike

You know I got a Nissan

That I’m still paying for, still got a lease on

But it don’t matter cause that ain’t my aim to get you

I got fame, but you know that just ain’t the issue

Because you’re looking like a woman of virtue

So well-rounded, no wonder your’re in my circle

And normally you probably wouldn’t give me the time of day

Cause Tay got rhymes, but no he ain’t got time to waste

Sometimes I think I’m from another world

When I’m trynna tell a woman just exactly where I stand that

I want a girl, when I want a girl

And when I don’t want a girl

I want a girl who understands that

And that’s some hard shit to explain

To a woman that’s in love with you

It’s a pitiful thing

Until I had to figure

That I don’t wanna play around

But I don’t wanna settle down

And that’s a man’s dilemma

Cause every man remembers

How his Daddy and his Uncles did it

Cause more than likely that’s the way they’re gonna do it

I know it sound fucked up and most won’t admit it

But yo, I gotta face it cause I know I’m living through it

Cause when the party stops and niggas get old

And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold

And that

Other side of the bed gets cold

You don’t wanna be alone

So girl I’m trynna hold you

Ohhh baby

Take it slow

Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)

What you need to do is

Take it slow with me

Slow it down a little bit

Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow

We don’t have to rush into anything serious

Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow

No we don’t, take it from me

Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow

My name is Percy

And I make miracles if you take it slow with me baby

Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow, take it slow
