Slow Down BB

(album: Pariah - 2020)

Slow down, baby (Slow down, slow)
Slow down, baby (Slow down, slow)
We gotta slow down, baby (Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow)
Slow down, baby
I told her (Slow, slow), "Slow down, baby" (Slow down, slow)
Gotta slow down, baby (Slow down, slow)
We gotta slow down, baby (Slow down, slow)
I told her, "Slow down, baby" (Slow down)

Speeding off to the races, where you going to?
You hiding, ducking these feelings, hope they notice you
I hope you get caught up pretending
I hope that you hear this and get offended
Matter of fact, I hope you seek help, I recommend it, truly
You been moody, narcissistic, and a fucking bitch
I ain't gon' call you out your name, ma
Shit, I mean, what's it really helping?
When you called me a liar and told me I was no good
I mean, did that really help us?
Yeah, I felt it, it cut deep at my ego
For so long, I felt I did no wrong, I was considered your hero
See, yo, thoughts on me keep flip-flopping
It was once so pure, now it's so toxic
All that bad energy, I wish that I can stop it
But it seems that we're haunted
Them stares look demonic when you look through me
I often wonder what you see
Someone out to hurt you or a king?
Love is a virtue, I convert you to my queen
Man, the optimism that I bring
It warrants caution when lost and love is dream
Woody Allen couldn't script this type of shit I've seen
The highs, the lows, the lies been told
I thought I'd seen the future, but my eyes was closed
The bags are packed, the clothes been fold
A lot of pressure on me, just let me unload this load, so
Slow down, baby
I don't want you to leave yet, I might go down crazy (Go down crazy)

Without you here next to me
You're my life, you're my world, you're my destiny
When you're close, I feel nothing but ecstasy (Ecstasy)
It's a high like I'm riding promethazines (Promethazines)
Can't kick this habit, baby, I'm your dope fiend (I'm your dope fiend, I'm your dope fiend)
Can't kick this habit, baby, I'm your dope fiend (I'm your dope fiend, so, yeah)

Slow down, baby (Slow down, slow, slow)
We gotta slow down, baby (We gotta slow down, slow)
Slow down, baby (Slow down, slow, slow)
I told her, "Slow down, baby" (We gotta slow, slow, we gotta slow)
Slow down, baby (Slow down)
We gotta slow down, baby (Slow down)
Slow down, baby (Slow down)
We gotta slow down, baby (Slow down)
I told her, ah, "Slow down, baby" (Slow down, slow)
You and I gotta slow down, baby (Slow down, slow)
Slow down, baby (Slow, slow, slow, slow down, baby)

Slow down, baby
