“Speed” was a super fun song for me to make. I talk about the idea of never having enough time and speeding through the day to try to get everything done. I feel like I’m always going as fast as I can everyday because I always give myself so much to do, I love being busy.
This song is also kind of...
[Verse 1]
Never ever sleep cause I'm going for the home plate
I cannot fade with a 2nd place medal
Pushing for this dream, even if it means to fail first
Burns in me like a flame but still gotta wait my turn
Yea it kills me (yea it kills me!)
I’m not doing nobody any favors only person that I'm doing this for is the one in the mirror (in the mirror!)
Pick myself up off the ground, shake the dust up off my feet
2020 got the vision I'm looking straight and nowhere else ah!
Looking towards the future I put that up on a pedestal
The present feeling plentiful, but I gotta stay directional
This waiting feels unbearable, but the results will be incredible
I know it cause I feel it ain’t nobody need to see it
Get that doubt up out of my face, either way I'm staying in this race
Fear can go ahead and test me, I'm not backing catch him lacking packing stacking all my dough so I can't ever slip up
Through all the pain falling down ima keep my fists up yea!
[Chorus]
Pedal to the floor, cause I ain't got no time to waste
Yea this industry is crowded, but ima go and make my own space
Going at my own pace
Can't fade with playing safe
I gotta make it last I stay working on the craft
Pedal to the floor cause I ain't got no time to waste
Yea this industry is crowded, but ima go and make my own space
[Verse 2]
Speeding my way through, not a second left to spare
Working tirelessly yea I'm up from sunrise to the dawn
Since 15 I was drawn to this music I belong
Dedication lifelong, never short cause I prolong
I don’t fight yea I tackle my battles, leave my enemies baffled like how got up from shambles? Now he on his way breaking his shackles now I move through life like its ammo, yea I travel I take the tabernacle with me yea I’m gone
Cause no I'm not ashamed, you can shame I take the blame
I don’t claim to be the best, but no lying that's the outcome
I'm working on the album, I cannot even fathom
Life without a goal, one day Ima make it platinum
I speak it into existence, don't ask for no assistance
To win I gotta stay consistent been up in my bag I’m losing chances by the minute, gotta run up all the digits
I don't spend on my appearance, I reinvest don't need no witness
[Chorus]
Pedal to the floor, cause I ain't got no time to waste
Yea this industry is crowded, but ima go and make my own space
Going at my own pace
Can't fade with playing safe
I gotta make it last I stay working on the craft
Pedal to the floor cause I ain't got no time to waste
Yea this industry is crowded, but ima go and make my own space
