“Slow Motion” is an unreleased track from collaborators Usher and Drake from late 2014.
On the track, the two artists sing and rap about their past relationships and problems that can appear within these relationships.
The track was a supposed feature on Usher’s eighth studio album entitled Hard I...
[Intro: Usher]
What you doin'? What you doin' to me?
You know that you got me
You got me where you want me
You know what you doin'
Nah-nah, I don't want you to stop
Come here
Go!
[Verse 1: Drake]
Never been a people person, always been a people's person
Know how to get a person, don't know how to keep a person, yeah
But you know everybody need somebody
And everybody ain't gon' be somebody
I mean, it's been like twenty years since my mother has seen somebody
I'm convinced that she thinks that's it's too late or somethin'
I should try and set her up on a date or somethin'
You deserve love, how long are you gon' wait for somethin'?
Nah, we gon find you someone doin' some
Someone rich and single, is Lionel Richie single?
Haha, okay, I'm jokin', I'm kiddin', I'm playin'
At least tell me that you hear all this shit that I'm sayin'
I don't wanna be the only man you laugh with
Life is quick, you should start it happy and end it happy
She ask me "Are you and... happy?"
I never told you what ended up happenin'
[Refrain: Usher]
As I pretend you haven't made a mess
Of this young man, it's crazy how I degress
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me (No)
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me
[Chorus: Usher]
Oh, the world is far from perfect
'Cause I only think of you
But I feel like it is worth it
Everything's movin' in slow motion
Movin' in slow motion
[Refrain: Usher]
You smile at me, I act like I'm not impressed
You ain't too please, in a place that I can't protest
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me (No)
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me (Oh)
Inside is bliss, but outside my world's a wreck
'Cause every time that you pass me
I can't help but turn my neck
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me (Oh)
And now you got the best of me (Oh)
Don't worry 'bout the rest of me (Oh)
[Chorus: Usher]
Oh, the world is far from perfect
'Cause I only think of you (Yeah)
But I feel like it is worth it
Everything's movin' in slow motion
It's movin' in slow motion (Oh)
[Bridge: Usher & Drake]
I feel so undeservin' (Oh) of the mere presence of you (Oh)
And my vision, it gets blurry (Oh)
Everything's movin' in slow motion (Yeah)
Movin' in slow motion (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Drake]
I started believin' that crazy shit she told me
Not sure if that makes me crazy or just lonely
Then I got bored, because fightin' is boring
And she was gone soon as I started stallin'
I don't want it except for when I want it
And even then I beat myself up for it
That's when you hear me say I'm movin' on from it
But it's obviously something else that I want from it
And then that's how she goes about it
It's hard to act like you want it when you know you got it
I'm textin' and callin' like that's my true callin'
And the only time that she's really talking
Is when you she tells me about myself like that's what's important
Startin' things over nothin', that shit is overwhelmin'
Her main problem is she always think I'm up to somethin'
And, shit, talking 'bout it make me wanna fuckin' call her
Reverse psychology, whatever you call it
But to answer the question, yeah, I think we're happy
We're always reunited, that's a good thing, I guess
We're always startin' over, that shit always seems excitin'
I don't know, I guess it's yet to be seen
She's busy doin' her and I'm out here chasin' the dream
Honestly, we say a lot of things that we don't mean
Start happy, end happy, with the summer in between, slow motion
[Chorus: Usher]
Oh, the world is far from perfect
'Cause I only think of you (Yeah)
But I feel like it is worth it
Everything movin' in slow motion
It's movin' in slow motion (Oh)
Slow Motion was written by Drake & USHER & Pop Wansel & OAK & John Bettis & Steve Porcaro.
Slow Motion was produced by Pop & Oak.
In a XXL interview in 2014, Usher talked briefly about his collaborations with Drake, as well as the track “Slow Motion”:
I had [Drake] listen to some of the songs that I thought were definite. I let him listen to three songs and he identified—well, actually he asked me to send him all the records....
