[Intro - female] The sun went down, but I did not I got a new pair of shoes and a reason to dance [Verse 1 - female] All week long I was carrying a list Bills, calls, bad news, things I almost missed Then my sister said, “Put that bag away” “You can solve it tomorrow, tonight you can sway” So I put on colour, I put on gold Let the bassline tell me I am not old I do not need a table with a velvet rope I need a good beat, my girls and a little hope The air feels sweet, the streetlights glow I came too far just to move too slow [Pre-Chorus - female] If the week took plenty, I am taking back my time I will not let the worry steal the rhythm from my mind [Chorus - both] Can’t slow down, not tonight Got the whole wide sky in the city light Can’t slow down, feel that sound Let the good energy move through the ground Can’t slow down, let it roll I got joy in my feet and a fire in my soul [Verse 2 - male, Pat King] I came from a place where the sun stay bright Where the drum tell stories through the night I know pressure, I know days go wrong That is why I bring a smile in every song No need to prove you are better than the next Let the waistline move, let the heart decompress I got family calling from across the sea They say, “Keep your head high, keep your energy” I do not chase trouble, I chase a clear mind A good little moment can reset your time [Chorus - both] Can’t slow down, not tonight Got the whole wide sky in the city light Can’t slow down, feel that sound Let the good energy move through the ground Can’t slow down, let it roll I got joy in my feet and a fire in my soul [Verse 3 - female] Tomorrow I will answer every message on my phone Take care of what is mine, make a plan of my own But I refuse to wear my stress like it is who I am I was made for more than getting through a jam So when the chorus comes, I raise both hands For the woman I am and the life I have planned No perfect night, no perfect face Just a little freedom in a real good place [Final Chorus - both] Can’t slow down, not tonight Got the whole wide sky in the city light Can’t slow down, feel that sound Let the good energy move through the ground Can’t slow down, let it roll I got joy in my feet and a fire in my soul [Outro - both] Let it roll
