[Intro - Acoustic guitar and 808 bass] (Yeah... uh-huh... dejalo) Moving slow... (Let it flow) [Verse 1 - Country twang over hip-hop beat] Well I'm up in Alaska, eagles circling overhead Midnight sun at 2 AM, bears fishing down the riverbed Some venture capitalist texts me "bro, you optimizing time?" I'm like nah man, I'm just breathing, got the mountains on my mind Down in Buenos Aires, therapy at 3 Then a four-hour dinner, nobody's in a hurry Silicon Valley's calling: "Don't you want to scale your life?" I'm like hermano, I'm just dancing, with my analyst's advice [Chorus - Full production, layered vocals] We're moving slow (and nothing breaks) (moving slow, moving slow) Taking time (for mate and steaks) (taking time, yeah) No disruption (just the sunrise) Real connection (not the franchise) We got seasons, we got rhythm, we got tiempo that we take While you're moving fast and breaking things We're moving slow and nothing breaks (nothing breaks, nothing breaks) [Verse 2 - More hip-hop energy, tight flow] Yo, they say "crush it" - I'm like fam, I'm crushing garlic They want "10x growth" - I'm growing tomatoes in my garden "What's your exit strategy?" - brother, leaving through the front door "Quarterly projections?" - nah, just hoping that it don't pour In Reykjavik they're hot-tubbing, talking 'bout their feelings Silicon's got a keynote on "authentic human dealings" "We're so mindful, we got gurus, meditation apps galore" Meanwhile we been doing that since like 1974 [Bridge - Call and response breakdown] They got Ring Lights (we got moonlight) Screen time (we got real time) Hustlers (we got fishers) Pitch decks (we got pictures) Zoom calls (we got phone calls) Growth hacks (we got long naps) Unicorns (we got real horses) Of course they want our... [Chorus - Full power, multiple vocal layers] We're moving slow (and nothing breaks) (slow down, slow down) Making space (for small mistakes) (making space, yeah) No disruption (just the rainstorm) Real connection (that's the platform) We got rhythm, we got neighbors, we got bread that's meant to bake While you're moving fast and breaking things We're moving slow and nothing breaks (nothing breaks, nah nah) [Outro - Stripped back to acoustic, contemplative] So come on down to anywhere that ain't the valley, friend Where dinners last 'til midnight and the workday has an end Where your therapist is human and your mate is not an app Where we still believe in Sundays... and the value of a nap (spoken, with echo) Yeah, we're moving slow And nothing breaks We're moving slow Dejalo, dejalo... (whispered, layered) let it cook [End]
