Take It Slow Lyrics by Devontée

2022

[Intro: Devontee & John Legend]
(Slow, slow) Uh
(This time, we'll take it slow)
(Take it slow, slow) Woah
(This time, we'll take it slow)
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(This time, we'll take it slow) Sometimes you gotta take it slow, you know?
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh) Uh, yeah
(This time, we'll take it slow)

[Verse 1: Devontee]
Head in the clouds, feet in the sand
Sometimes it's intentional, I gotta spend time apart from the fam
'Cause it's part of the plan (Yeah)
Let me know who I am
Where the jealousy come from, what I do In life and post on the 'Gram (Yeah)
Damn, gotta take it slow
'Cause I'm too emotional
'Cause my heart real big and I love them hard but it's not gon' change 'em though
Shouldn't take it personal
But I still take it personal
'Cause I share my truth with you but honestly, it still hurts to know
I do everything I can to make you understand
And I overstand I could overstep with these words I'm sayin'
Truth hurts, I know I'm just tryna lend a helping hand
I could give a arm and a leg but it still seem like they just want my head
Damn, how we back here again?
I thought we was fam and friends?
But I guess that's what jealousy does, uh
Well hate yourself, but you take it on the ones you love
We all fightin' demons for a reason but don't turn around and start fightin' us

[Chorus: Devontee & John Legend]
(Slow, slow)
(This time, we'll take it slow) I guess I gotta take it slow
(Take it slow, slow)
(This time, we'll take it slow) And it hurts the most that you gettin' hate from the ones that's close

[Interlude: Devontee & John Legend]
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh) You wanna live fast or you wanna die slow?
(This time, we'll take it slow) Or you wanna live slow and die fast?
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh) Huh, pick one
(This time, we'll take it slow) Yeah, woah

[Verse 2: Devontee]
They callin' out, all these cries for help
They make they issues with you somethin' like you did
But really, I know what it is
They just projectin'
They say how they feel neglected
Too much pride to be corrected
And forget quick how I protect them
I pray that I could accept them
Without change expected
How can I not be affected when we closely connected
We all feel disrespected
But still, unconditional love is what we givin' you and you reject it, damn

[Chorus: Devontee & John Legend]
(Slow, slow)
(This time, we'll take it slow) I guess I gotta take it slow
(Take it slow, slow)
(This time, we'll take it slow) And it hurts the most that you gettin' hate from the ones that's close

[Interlude: Devontee & John Legend]
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh) You wanna live fast or you wanna die slow?
(This time, we'll take it slow) Or you wanna live slow and die fast?
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh) Huh, pick one
(This time, we'll take it slow) Yeah

[Outro: Devontee & John Legend]
(Take it slow, slow)
(This time, we'll take it slow)
(Take it slow, slow) Anything for that family dynamic
(This time, we'll take it slow)
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(This time, we'll take it slow)
(Take it slow-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(This time, we'll take it slow)
