Lyrics
Smooth
Describing a sleek or effortless quality
You don’t know the way that you are
Unaware of your own demeanor or behavior
You keep 2 steppin’
Continuously moving forward or progressing
Taking out the hesitation
Removing doubts or reluctance
The soles of your feet meet the grey
Walking on the pavement
On this cold London day
Referencing a specific location and weather
And if we get to tomorrow
Looking towards the future
What are you fit’na do with the time?
Plans or intentions for the available time
You keep 2 Steppin’
Continuing to progress forward
I see
Acknowledgment
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Expressing laughter
So I wanna just see if we can take our time
Desire to move at a relaxed pace
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time, take our time
Repetition of the desire for a leisurely pace
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time
Reiterating the wish for a relaxed approach
Take a little bit less and maybe you’ll feel right
Suggesting that reducing stress might improve the situation
You’ll feel right
Emphasizing feeling comfortable or satisfied
You’ll feel
Continuation of the emphasis on feeling content
Clip it
Adjusting or fixing something
Sip it down
Drinking slowly
Maybe the way that you dress
Possibly referring to personal style or manner
Or the fact you don’t stress the little things
Not stressing over minor details
You’re 2 steppin’
Continuing to move forward
2 steppin’
Repetition of the forward movement
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Another instance of laughter
So I wanna just see if we can take our time
Desire for a slower pace reiterated
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time, take our time
Repeated wish for a relaxed tempo
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time
Reiterating the desire for a leisurely pace
Take a little bit less and maybe you’ll feel right
Suggesting that reducing stress might improve the situation
You’ll feel right
Emphasizing feeling comfortable or satisfied
You’ll feel
Continuation of the emphasis on feeling content
Bridge
A transitional part of the song
Take it down
Lowering intensity or pace
Take it down, take it down now
Repetition of lowering the intensity or pace
I like the velvet of your shoes
Appreciation of a specific detail (velvet shoes)
Take it down
Repetition of lowering the intensity or pace
Take it down, take it down now
Reiteration of reducing speed or intensity
No time to play
Indication of seriousness or lack of time for games
So I wanna just see if we can take our time
Reiteration of the desire for a relaxed tempo
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time, take our time
Repeated wish for a relaxed tempo
Oh I wanna just see if we can take our time
Reiterating the desire for a leisurely pace
Take a little bit less and maybe you’ll feel right
Suggesting that reducing stress might improve the situation
You’ll feel right
Emphasizing feeling comfortable or satisfied
You’ll feel
Continuation of the emphasis on feeling content
