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
