Speed |
| This life have a nigga hustling man |
| Niggas need to slow it down yo |
| Sit back just chill just relax |
| Speeding down the roads of life |
| Yo check it |
| Another day to face, I’m share cropping in the paper chase |
| Take a deep breath and clear my database |
| It’s afternoon I’m talking shit to my alarm clock |
| Cause I gotta face this world of capitalistic onslaught |
| Don’t stop when I jump in the whip, trying to get it off |
| Beltline got me rushing like Baryshnikov |
| Pushing 80 miles per hour to this, call center |
| Trying to pick up a check I only see 20 percent of |
| Until the weekend, it sound crazy when I’m saying it |
| But sleepless nights got me forgetting what day it is |
| Until my son two days with out speaking, looking for |
| Reasons to keep my head from going off the deep end |
| I take this shit personally, I’m making moves |
| But this treadmill lifestyle ain’t working for me |
| It’s from your crib to the lab to your job to make a profit |
| And at the days end you still got nothing accomplished |
| And it’s just the way it’s going down, but on the real, yo |
| I think I need to slow it down, and slow it down |
| This joint is going too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| This really moving too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me and you |
| I try to slow it down like Brand Nubian |
| But hypnotic tunes like this always do me in |
| Got a nigga about to go and burn the road again |
| From first gear to fifth gear out of control again |
| And that’s the way we rolling in, needed to chill |
| And take a rest stop cause my job got me slaving like I’m Dred Scott |
| Take a break nah nigga you betta not, cause that’s when the respect stops |
| Energy drain, I need a blast like Hi-Tek got |
| So I can grab the mic and make your heads bop |
| With the microphone check, one two it don’t stop |
| Out of town on a quick escape |
| Hoping to have a chance to slow it up and hit the brakes |
| And slow it down |
| This joint is going too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| This really moving too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me and you |
| I let my life shine in between these papers lines |
| I write rhymes to incite minds |
| Spending time on this pipeline, eighty-five |
| North it’s like mine, going eighty five to light minds |
| Going ninety five to take time |
| Spending days in the rays of the sunshine |
| Many days those same rays went undefined |
| Now forty east is where I go to have my best times |
| Three lanes going sixty to perfect rhymes |
| Tre dose and master craft catch punch lines |
| We turning into early morning late night times |
| Amtrak Monday morning to come back rides |
| Catch a couch on the weekend, a place I rarely did sleep in |
| Te car speaker knobs is tweaking |
| Cause the way we be rocking it when joints is finished |
| At the speed we be moving we could never be diminished |
| With my energy replenished write a rhyme with puns and |
| All my similes intended speed out until I finish |
| Keep it on now |
| We keep it, and keep it, and keep it on now |
| And keep it, and keep it, we keep it on now |
| We run it, we do it, we keep it on now |
| We do it, we did it, we keep it on now |
| We don’t stop |
| This joint is going too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| This really moving too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me and you |
| This joint is going too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me |
| This really moving too fast for me |
| Just too fast for me and you |
