[Verse 1]
I′d like to protect mine
You like empty threats and coalitions
Demon time
Rum and lime and this little spritzer
Keep in my mind
I was fine but this little hiccup's
Got me lying in my bed
Meeting 4am again
More lines of speak to me
Let me in
I′m good I'm fine
Think I've got this friend
Yeah stress makes for better tales
But sex makes for better sales
A slave to this very world

From little girls to grown women
From they won′t let us inside
Now we own the buildings
This isn′t a manifestation of my imagination
This was written long before my parents got acquainted
So I'm stating
What God has put in plan
Let no man
Take that vision
And
Take your cans
And make them cannots
I′ve got the gems right in my hands
I'm feeling just like Thanos
I′ll put dent up on your van
If you try cross my lane
A little splash up in a puddle
You can't ride this wave
We′re trying to break a fucking system
And effect some change
And you want spend change
Imma switch that pain
Cause I can't feel that pain
[Chorus]
So take it slow
For me
And I'll be there
For you
Hold you down
I can
Take it slow
Take it slow
Just take it slow
For me
And I′ll be there
For you
Hold you down
I can
Take it slow
Just take it slow
I′ll take it slow

[Post-Chorus]
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You're a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You′re a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You're a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You′re a badman calm down
Thought become food
[Verse 2: Loyle Carner]
Alright
Reputation
Reputation
Reputation
Yo I lost my reputation
And at the same time
Found my inspiration
In the silence of the basement
Patient

Because I'm good enough
I see these people on the bus
Heads down
Instead of looking up
Swiping for the love
Views and likes
Comments like a drug
I had to turn around
And pull that plug

How can I fucking win
Comparing others to my kin
Comments on the colour of my skin
Got me flicking through
A couple say that I′m the king
A couple say that I got this double chin
It's fucking grim
I spend the next hour
Looking in the mirror
Wonder if I'm really getting bigger
My hair thinner
Heart breaking as I grow a little bitter
Getting jealous to the glamor and the glitter
But it′s not real life

Close my eyes
Had to take my time
Realise that the life I find
Is not the life online
Locked my phone off
And walked outside
And looked up to the sun that shines

[Chorus]
So take it slow
For me
And I′ll be there
For you
Hold you down
I can
Take it slow
Take it slow
Just take it slow
For me
And I'll be there
For you
Hold you down
I can
Take it slow
Just take it slow
I′ll take it slow

[Post-Chorus]
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You're a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You′re a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You're a badman calm down
Thought become food
Hands up bless man
Mek I come through
You′re a badman calm down
Thought become food
