Little Brother - Speed lyrics

This life have a n***a hustling man n***as 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 sh** 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 sh** 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 n***a 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 n***a 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
