Khrys. - Slow Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
You know, sometimes we think too much and every now and then we have to remind ourselves...
You know what? I'mma let the hook do its job

[Hook]
(Whatcha gonna do?) Slow down, slow down, slow down (Aye, whatcha gonna do?)
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down (Aye, whatcha gonna do?)
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down (Whatcha gotta do?)
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down

[Verse 1]
Sitting in my mental TARDIS
Playing all scenarios thinkin’ ‘bout where my art is
Gonna go; I got a couple cards in my deck
All of ‘em capable of giving me a solid good check
I’m stoked for whatever brings me up from here
But it sucks ‘cuz all that I can do is play by ear
It is possible that I can blow up with all my cards
So simulating everything is hard
I’ve never wondered what the scene’ll be like when I die
There’s many outlets I could use to get me sky high
But if it’s rap, then I wonder what I’ll be remembered by
Nobody has a story that’ll paint me as a bad guy
I’m no gangsta who caught bodies
No elements against me, didn’t grow up in poverty
If I had the choice, the thing I’d be choosing
Is this: I just wanna be known for just the music
Stories take the dead and they define who they will always be
So I’m afraid my image will simply tarnish my artistry
No matter how hard we try, no entertainer is exempt
The only thing familiarity breeds is contempt
Meaning that if I blow up for whatever that I bring
I’d most likely fall victim to the same damn thing
Just the usual, nothing fancy
Unless the first name James and last name Yancey
Don’t get it twisted; I don’t mind you telling stories ‘bout me
Whatever tale that you might have, go and tell it proudly
Good, bad, I don’t mind – leaving a legacy ain’t vital
Just don’t let these stories mislead you about what I do
And if it’s jazz that I get noted for, all I can do sigh
Since there really is no difference, the same things apply
There’s a lot on my mind and it’s rough
Sorry, but I’m on that Ross and 3K – sixteen just ain’t enough

[Bridge]
That’s why I try to live a good life
And make smooth cuts like a good knife
I’m more than willing to take my chances
But I’m not too sure ‘bout my advances
I know that I’ll get over them somehow
Sometimes I wonder if I think too much now
The future has my thoughts in its possession
And that’s leavin’ me with unanswered questions; I gotta…

[Hook]
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down

[Verse 2]
I’m in a new space with a new crowd
All I gotta do is step in the ring and do it proud
But I don’t wanna take my first step as well as my bow
If I’ve never had any pressure, then there’s a lot of pressure now
I know that music is the path – no might be – it’s hot
But the question is – am I on that Spike Lee or not?
There will come a time when I’ll weigh factors and components
But that time is not this moment – I gotta slow down

[Outro]
Yeah, you know life moves too fast. Sometimes you just gotta take a second and slow down, you feel me?
And I'm out
