Lyrics
“First one didn’t record, stupid, stupid, stupid”
Expressing frustration about a failed recording attempt.
(Chorus)
Encouraging to slow down and enjoy the present moment, as time is passing.
Slow it down
-Nothing matters now all that matters if
-If you can come around
-Doesn’t matter how cause the clock it ticks
-So slow it down
-Tomorrow sucks but I’m here today
Despite the challenges of the future, being present and hoping for someone's presence.
You can come around
-You’re on my mind while I’m on my way
-(Verse 1, Emcee KB)
Emcee KB begins his verse.
Heaven knows where I might be
Describing a journey, expressing a lack of optimism, and emphasizing memorable moments.
Hitch hiking through the gold coast
-Soon all I am is my writing and the photos
-Optimism I’m bad at that
-But while we’re here in our habitat
-You know we’re going back to back to back to back for real
-We’ll make it a night to remember
Creating a memorable night despite external conditions and engaging in risky behavior.
It’s storming outside and its cold as December
-I fill the bathtub and I got the rose pedals
-We’re doing bad things and I’m doing it better
-Better than ever before
Feeling physically worn but still desiring more from the experience.
Not in the studio but I’ll record
-Clock hits four
-We want more but we feel sore so we’ll
-(Chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of slowing down and being in the moment.
Slow it down
-Nothing matters now all that matters if
-If you can come around
-Doesn’t matter how cause the clock it ticks
-So slow it down
-Tomorrow sucks but I’m here today
-You can come around
-You’re on my mind while I’m on my way
-(Verse 2, Pop Shuv’)
Pop Shuv' begins his verse.
I like the way you think
Expressing admiration for someone's thinking and drinking habits.
I like the way you drink
-Cheeks be rosy, I be nosy all up in yo shit
-Today stays the same
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of days and the need to live in the present.
Tomorrow masks my pain
-Tonight we live while we’re young
-So slow it down
-Bpm around 35 but inside we feel alive
Describing a moment of feeling alive and referencing cosmic themes and judgments.
We feel alive
-Can we quander
-A wonder speck of dust that plunders
-Galaxies kiss and tell
-Watch us over as they judge and bless
-She walks in with no dress
Expressing desire for intimacy but adding a condition.
I want you in my bed but first
-(Chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus, reinforcing the theme of cherishing the current moment.
Slow it down
-Nothing matters now all that matters if
-If you can come around
-Doesn’t matter how cause the clock it ticks
-So slow it down
-Tomorrow sucks but I’m here today
-You can come around
-You’re on my mind while I’m on my way
-“Yo some of ya’ll mighta’ noticed I only spit 12 bars
Humorous and exaggerated boasting about material possessions and preferences.
Here’s the last four bars
-I pull up in a sports car
-I don’t eat at 4 stars
-I pull up in four cars
-I pull up in five cars
-I stay at five stars
-I don’t eat at Five Guys, I eat at Burger Baron’s”
-“What the fuck get the fuck out of the studio”
Recording studio banter and laughter.
(laughter)
-Emcee
