“Slow Down” by Fridayy, KITSCHKRIEG, and Mariah the Scientist reflects on the need to pause amidst excess.
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
K-K-K-K-KITSCHKRIEG
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
Oh
Can we just—?
So, can we just—?
One hundred racks just got blown on a baddie
One hundred snow bunnies made it snow in Skyami
Hop in my big one, drink lean out the Grammy
Top of the penthouse, she sing to me like Brandy
I fill the room up with vibes, it get sexy
Couple of mushrooms get mixed in with Ecstasy
I count hundreds up and let shorty caress me
Let her go full throttle off the bottle, oh yeah
Models french kissing models, oh yeah
They in my presence, I got ’em possessed
If you consider it, I’ma feel it in my flesh
On the road to riches and a jet, yeah
Flip the load and go crazy on baguettes, yeah
Chandelier VVS, pass the test, yeah
Off the Lear, I just ran through a check, yeah
Drop the top on her car, that was next league
Balanced everything, got with her steady
Free bands
To the dock, to the yacht, I get Becky
Free bands
Ain’t no tick on the clock, it’s a Richie
That’s a Richie
She brought her friends out, we load up in Benzes
Hold on, no photo, I go low low through the city
I’m at the top floor of the Gold Rush, can’t miss me
They spread their legs wide open, I got frisky
I got that bread by the Lord, I’m ambitious
I put finesse on them hoes on long distance
I’m getting head on FaceTime, this shit different
I’m getting in the mood, a few strippers come through instant
They can’t control me, I’m going out for a mission (Put up, put up)
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
Oh
Can we just—?
So, can we just—?
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
Oh
Can we just—?
So, can we just—?
Hold on, take a sec, let me just take a breath
Got me wiled up, got me takin’ chances
Gon’ let this be all advanced
As we wind up and we grind up
Slow down I can turn up, hold on
Only here for a weekend
Fell in love with a freak and
Now I need to slow down, baby, I know
Got me on a roll now, baby, I’m so
Before we really do something crazy
Before we make a baby
Before I make you my last
There’s something that I need to ask
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
Oh
Can we just—?
So, can we just—?
Can we just—?
Can we just—? (Slow)
Can we just slow down?
On the road every day, tryna stack it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it
Oh
Can we just—?
Theme and Concept
The refrain “Can we just slow down?” echoes a yearning for balance amidst a fast-paced, indulgent lifestyle. Lines like “We’ve been moving too fast, might just crash it” suggest the dangers of excess and unchecked ambition. Imagery of wealth (“One hundred snow bunnies made it snow in Skyami”) juxtaposes vulnerability in “Before we really do something crazy.” The track blends hedonism with introspection.
