Your Pace, My Pace
“Your Pace, My Pace” is track 15 on Rob Matare's Afro-Pop & Amapiano album Small Small, released October 9, 2026. Southern African Afro-pop that takes its time: kitchen songs, brass rings, "Sala Kahle, Mama" and staying till the kettle sings.
“Your Pace, My Pace” lyrics
Your pace, my pace
Kancane
Sunday session, three o'clock
Everybody's shoes are off
You keep dancing like you're late
Like the DJ's got a train to catch
Put your hand here on my shoulder
Let the shaker do the talking
Feel it drop before you move
That's the whole thing, baby
Your pace, my pace
Leave a little room
Your pace, my pace
I'll come back to you
Kancane, kancane
(Slowly now)
Kancane, kancane
Wait for it
Kancane, kancane
(Slowly now)
Kancane, kancane
Wait for it
(Now)
Now you're waiting when I turn back
Now you catch the little pause
Now you're waiting when I turn back
Now you catch the little pause
Somebody's auntie's watching
Clapping on the two for us
I can tell you're really listening
By the way you let me stop
Wait for the log drum
Then you move
Your pace, my pace
Leave a little room
Your pace, my pace
I'll come back to you
Stay close
Give space
Kancane
Your pace, my pace
Your pace, my pace
Your pace, my pace
Leave a little room
Our pace, one pace
I came back to you
Kancane
We can take our time
