to answer the question . . .
so a few people have come to me about the song ‘Slow Down’ asking specifically about the line where I say something that’s seemingly against the wearing of Mac eyeshadow and fake eyelashes. To be clear, I don’t have a problem with Mac eyeshadow (nor do I have a problem with the I-phone [another thing that’s mentioned in the song]). What I’m speaking against in the song is that having to always buy something new– that “Mac got a new color, I gotta go get it!” mentality … that thinking that we NEED these THINGS (or things in general) to be good enough . . . to feel worthy of life when LIFE is a gift that all of us are here to enjoy and thrive in regardless of what material possessions we have or how [out]dated they may be. So that’s what the song is speaking on.
I hope that clears up any confusion. If not, that’s cool too. I tried. Peace always.
