Lyrics: Mawuena Dzotsi/Paul Grant/Tom Misch Music: Mawuena Dzotsi/Paul Grant/Tom Misch [Intro] No need to rush No need to rush
[Verse 1] Yo, yo, I was chilling Wasn't even thinking 'bout the women Then she came around and I was willing Had to put the bid in Rather than to focus on the wishing Showed my brothers and they said I made a killing Yo, you made a killing If what we're 'bout to do will be forbidden I'm just hoping that my sins will be forgiven What was your decision? We was sitting, watching Eurovision That was back when all the funds were insufficient What was your position? Hate to say the love was intermittent Never bothered 'bout them others with opinions Spoke about religion Wondered what's your deepest inhibitions I was hoping we would hone into the vision With focus and precision, I'm looking in your eyes Had to make decisions, so we read between the lines Need a piece of yours, I know you need a piece of mine Had to cross the river, see you at the other side
[Chorus] We don't speak enough We don't speak enough (No need to rush) No need to rush, rush, rush, rush, rush No need to rush (No need to rush, no, no)
[Verse 2] Times changed, now I'm calling her my lady Love the way she call me on the daily I wondered if you rate me Loving you 'cause nothing could delay me I was thinking I could pay a visit maybe Thinking you could save me, how could I deny? Greet me with some kisses just as soon I arrive Save me from the trouble, I just needed the advice The pressure's getting heavy, you was keeping me alive Although there was difference, I just figured we'd relate God'll be the witness, I don't even need debates Instead of acting rigid tryna think of what to say Express it with your physical with kisses on the face I'll take you to the village when we're visiting Accra Sitting with the missus, play the strings of the guitar Get to burning bridges, now you're lowering your guard My number-one believer always said I'll be a star I know just who you are
[Chorus] We don't speak enough (I mean, I know just who you are) We don't speak enough (No need to rush) No need to rush, rush, rush, rush, rush No need to rush (No need to rush, no, no)
[Outro] We don't need to rush We don't need to rush We don't need to rush We don't need to rush We don't need to rush Kofi, you need to forget about the girls, man You're, you're, you're just there allowing life to just pass you by, anyhow My friend, get with the program I mean, seriously, come on
