Can we take it slow
Can we take it slow
Tell me what's point of it all, the purpose
And who's deserving of the feelings beneath the surface consumers
Cursed with the definition of deep affection that's word with, love, person to person
Many of us start off young, from our peers at school who have us feeling sprung
The fear of being slower than the crew makes us all jump, and so many aren't ready to
Be openly available
For feelings that will later blow
Young and misguided, I don't like it, I can't fight it
Emotions undecided, just to try it, start struggling cant deny it
Society makes sobriety seem so uninvited
Children dazed and confused, doing things that they aren't ready to
Cuz the media shows it like it's overdue, the world is set up for us all to lose
Can we take it slow
Can we take it slow
Pace your steps, pace your strokes in this dirty water
Swim deep, swim deep, my darling
Don't creep, don't creep, for no reason
Be careful what you do this evening
So I look in the mirror and I see myself clearly, say I love myself dearly
But I'm triggered to act bigger than the n*gga staring at me, cause complacence is a lie
I'm castrated if I'm late to give sedateness a try
So I'm influenced to pull up to this party and go all out
From the dance floor to the couch
Start up a convo with this shorty cause my d*ck is in a drought
Low-key suspicious on her digits but her image is no doubt, well developed
See we leave it to lust and we believe and we trust
When we ask her bout her age and she replies old enough, and forwards it with a touch
What we don't know is she's the last virgin out of her group of friends
And they've been pressing her to get lose and give it up
So they pull up to a collage party, that don't check ID
Do the idea of them being 16 was never openly invited
Yet they lie about it so if isn't implied they deny it
That's how n*ggas catching cases, the big ones getting indicted
Or start losing scholarships, their image used and detriment
Due to an understanding that was truly only one sided
Cause she was just having fun, and would later go down as innocent
While the boy is opposite, retaining all repercussions
I'd blame the parents for this but in the end it was her friends
Drowned in society so their only goal was solving how to swim
Who can blame them, don't shame them
Im tryna change and make it clear that it's okay to take it
Slow
Take it slow, you aint got no where to go
Just take it slow, take it slow
