Slow The Flow

Uh huh, just relax
Yeah, feels good
Long Beach, uh huh
California, here we go

It's half past 8 and you're late for work
Stopped in gridlock and you're going berzerk
You put in overtime 5 days a week
Pulling out your hair for stress relief
But you gotta compete so you get no sleep
Wanna live the good life and it don't come cheap
Climbing to the top of the totem pole
You’ll fall and break your neck man, slow the flow
Now I’m from Southern California, home of the laid back
We don't go lookin for a needle in a haystack
And I say that in a subdued mood
Kick it on the beach, eat a little Mexican food
But you, I don't understand what's the rush
All flushed, mad like you missed the bus
Another one's coming in about 10 minutes
Man, you don't gotta push yourself to the limit

[Chorus]
Slow the flow
Relax your mind
Gain control
Take your time
Slow the flow
Relax your mind
Gain control
Take your time

Forget about the week days, ready for the weekend
Bring your swim trunks and jump into the deep end
Stop for a minute or two and take a look at the view
I guarantee you'll see something new
We only have two seasons summer and spring
So rock your flip flops and your cut off jeans
If you live in Long Beach then you know what I mean
California dreamin, where it's all routine
A situation comes, then so soon it's passed
And you’ll catch whiplash, moving so quick, fast (fast)
So fast you risk breaking a limb
You’re looking for satisfaction, mistaken again
King Solomon sang it's like chasing the wind
You need to slow down, start taking it in

You need to slow down, start takin it in
You gotta slow down, start takin it in
You better slow down, start takin it in
Start taking it in

[Chorus] x2

In London, slow the flow
New York, slow the flow
Shanghai, slow the flow
In Berlin, slow the flow
In Tokyo, slow the flow
Rio de Janeiro, slow the flow
In Sydney, slow the flow
Moscow, slow the flow
In Seoul, slow the flow
Long Beach, you know we keep it slow
Let’s get outta here
