Little Brother - Speed lyrics

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
