Speed Lyrics - Singles - Little Brother

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, tryin to get it off 

Beltline got me rushin like Barichnakof 

Pushin 80 miles per hour to this, call center 

Tryin to pick up a check I only see twenty percent a 

Until the weekend, it sound crazy when I'm sayin it 

But sleep is nice, got me forgettin what day it is 

Until my son two days with out speakin, looking for 

Reasons to keep my heir from goin off the deep end 

I take this shit personally, I'm makin moves 

But this treadmill lifestyle ain't workin for me 

It's from ya crib to ya lab to ya job to make a profit 

And at the days end you still got nothing accomplished 

And it's just the way it's goin down, but on the real 

I think I need to slow it down and slow it down

This joint is goin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me 

This really movin 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 you're 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 breaks 

And slow it down

This joint is goin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me 

This really movin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me and you 

I let me 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 early morning late night times 

Amtrack Monday morning to come back rides 

Catch a couch on the weekend, a place I rarely did sleep in 

Tay (Phonte) car speaker knobs is tweakin 

Cause the way we be rockin 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 goin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me 

This really movin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me and you 

This joint is goin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me 

This really movin too fast for me 

Just too fast for me and you
