Il testo della Speed

(intro - phonte)
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

(verse 1 - phonte)
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

(chorus)
This joint is goin too fast for me
Just too fast for me
Just too fast for me
Just too fast for me
This really movin too fast for me
Just too fast for me and you

(verse 2 - big pooh & phonte)

(big pooh)
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

(phonte)
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

(chorus)
This joint is goin too fast for me
Just too fast for me
Just too fast for me
Just too fast for me
This really movin too fast for me
Just too fast for me and you

(verse 3 - big pooh & phonte)

(big pooh)
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

(phonte)
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

(chorus x2)
This joint is goin too fast for me
Just too fast for me
Just 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
Just too fast for me
Just too fast for me
This really movin too fast for me
Just too fast for me and you
