Speed - Little Brother[00:00:00]
This life have a ni**a hustlin' man[00:00:04]
Niggas need to slow it down yo[00:00:07]
Sit back just chill just relax speedin' down the roads of life[00:00:09]
Yo check it[00:00:13]
Another day to face I'm share croppin' in the paper chase[00:00:14]
Take a deep breath and clear my database[00:00:18]
It's afternoon I'm talking sh*t to my alarm clock[00:00:20]
'Cause I gotta face this world of capitalistic onslaught[00:00:23]
Don't stop when I jump in the whip tryin' to get it off[00:00:25]
Belt line got me rushin' like Barichnakof[00:00:29]
Pushin' 80 miles an hour to this call center[00:00:31]
Tryin' to pick up a check I only see twenty percent a[00:00:33]
Until the weekend it sounds crazy when I'm sayin' it[00:00:36]
But sleep is nice got me forgettin' what day it is[00:00:39]
Until my son two days without speakin' looking for reasons[00:00:42]
To keep my heir from goin' off the deep end[00:00:44]
I take this sh*t personally I'm makin' moves[00:00:47]
But this treadmill lifestyle ain't workin' for me[00:00:49]
And from the crib to the lab to ya job to make a profit[00:00:52]
And at the days end still ain't got nothin' accomplished[00:00:55]
And it's just the way it's goin' down but on the real yo[00:00:57]
I think I need to slow it down and slow it down[00:01:00]
This joint is goin' too fast for me[00:01:03]
Just too fast for me just too fast for me[00:01:06]
Just too fast for me this really movin' too fast for me[00:01:09]
Just too fast for me and you[00:01:15]
I try to slow it down like Brand Nubian[00:01:18]
But hypnotic tunes like this always do me in[00:01:20]
Got a ni**a about to go and burn the road again[00:01:22]
From first gear to fifth gear out of control again[00:01:25]
And that's the way we rollin' in needed to chill and take a rest stop[00:01:28]
'Cause my job got me slavin' like I'm Dred Scott[00:01:31]
Take a break nah ni**a you bet not[00:01:33]
'Cause that's when the respect stops energy drain[00:01:36]
I need a blast like Hi-Tek got[00:01:38]
So I can grab the mic and make your heads bop[00:01:40]
With the microphone check one two it don't stop[00:01:42]
Out of town on a quick escape[00:01:44]
Hopin' to have a chance to slow it up and hit the breaks[00:01:46]
And slow it down[00:01:49]
This joint is goin' too fast for me[00:01:50]
Just too fast for me just too fast for me[00:01:52]
Just too fast for me well it movin' too fast for me[00:01:57]
Just too fast for me and you[00:02:02]
I let my life shine in between these papers lines[00:02:05]
I write rhymes to incite minds[00:02:07]
Spendin' time on this pipeline 85 North it's like mine[00:02:09]
Goin' eighty-five to light minds goin' ninety-five to take time[00:02:13]
Spendin' days in the rays of the sunshine[00:02:17]
Many days those same rays went undefined[00:02:20]
Now 40 East is where I go to have my best times[00:02:22]
Three lanes goin' sixty to perfect rhymes[00:02:25]
Tre dose master craft catch punch lines[00:02:28]
We turnin' in a early mornin' late night times[00:02:30]
Amtrack Monday mornin' to come back rides[00:02:33]
Catch a couch on the weekend a place I rarely did sleep in[00:02:35]
Tay car speaker knobs is tweakin'[00:02:39]
'Cause the way we be rockin' it when joints is finished[00:02:41]
At the speed we be movin' we could never be diminished[00:02:44]
With my energy replenished write a rhyme with puns[00:02:47]
And all my similes intended speed out until I finish[00:02:49]
Keep it on now we keep it and keep it[00:02:52]
And keep it on now and keep it and keep it[00:02:58]
We keep it on now we run it we do it[00:03:02]
We keep it on now we do it we did it[00:03:06]
We keep it on now we don't stop[00:03:13]
Well it movin' too fast for me just too fast for me[00:03:15]
Just too fast for me just too fast for me[00:03:18]
Well it movin' too fast for me[00:03:20]
Just too fast for me and you[00:03:22]
Well it movin' too fast for me just too fast for me[00:03:23]
Just too fast for me just too fast for me[00:03:28]
Just too fast for me well too fast for me[00:03:33]
Just too fast for me me and you me and you[00:03:38]
