Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm in the back (take it slow)

Mamma's driving 'round (take it slow)

I've been learning my raps (take it slow)

Doing it for all these different reasons (take it slow)

I love the way it feels (take it slow)

And now I'm inside (take it slow)

I'm listening to Nas (take it slow)

Illmatic, it's somatic (take it slow)

I'm not a fanatic (take it slow)

But I'll listen out of love (take it slow)

Lately, I'm breathing (take it slow)

Free your mind and treat it kindly (take it slow)

Ten years old, I was unbothered (take it slow)

Spent my hours in the garden (take it slow)

I was alright (take it slow)

Black Album, I've been listening to the Jay-Z (take it slow)

Every day, pushin' in my CD player (take it slow)

Listen like I'm insane (yeah, take it slow)

It's the same each time I do, ooh (take it slow)

Ain't no skipping through (skipping through, take it slow)

True, I was in a new phase (take it slow)

T.I. just came with Paper Trail (take it slow)

And we got Tha Carter III from Wayne (take it slow, slow)

808's from Yе (take it slow)

This was a simpler time (take it slow)

Simple days, 2008 (take it slow)

Now my lifе's moving too fast-paced, yeah (take it slow, slow)

So I'm taking it slow (take it slow)

I've been moving much too fast (take it slow)

(Take it slow)

(Take it slow)

I'ma free my mind and treat it kindly (take it slow)

Ten years old, I was unbothered (take it slow)

Spent my hours in the garden (take it slow)

I was alright (take it slow, ah, ay)

But I never gave up my love (take it slow)

I studied it all day long (take it slow)

Could've been into sports, but (take it slow)

That's not where I belong (take it slow)

It wasn't until right now (take it slow)

Looking back over nuance (take it slow)

I was gonna be here somehow (take it slow)

Do not wanna say "I knew it," but (take it slow)

I did my young self proud

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I'm taking it slow (ah)

(Take it slow)

(Take it slow)

(Take it slow)

(Take it slow)
