(Jeff Waters)
I'm on a mission, I'm gonna' break the speed of sound
my pulse is racing, I'm gonna have to hunt you down
acceleration gotta', gotta go faster
give me more speed
they say I'm crazy I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
give me more speed
No competition, left in my dust - they'll never learn
this is my rockt, my aviation fule is set to burn
acceleration gotta', gotta go faster
give me more speed
they say I'm crazy I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
give me more speed
You wonna rock and roll at a million miles an hour
jest put your foot to the floor, c'mon and feel the power
I know exactly what I'm after
I know exactly what I need
I need the speed
I'm on a mission, I'm gonna' break the speed of sound
my pulse is racing, I'm gonna have to trace you down
acceleration gotta', gotta go faster
give me more speed
they say I'm crazy I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
Speed, run the thoughts inside your brain
Try to catch them once
And you'll be alone
There's nowhere to go
Speed, all the memories will come
Try to make them live
And you'll get so lost
From the present to the past
With speed we go
But still don't know
What's hidden in there
Out time is over!
Speed, like a thunderbolt
The future will take its place
Then could you stop time
Perhaps when you die?
With speed we go
But still don't know
What's hidden in there
Out time is over!
Faster than light we will find
A way out of the conscience
And the more we know, more we'll mind
It's matter of patience,
Running from the nightmare
In the middle of the road
Hell's no place for sleeping
In a world beyond control
Caught up in the headlights
Coming after you
When I woke up this morning
I had to do what I gotta do
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
I've seen a train full of pain
On the edge of overload
We're in Heaven, baby
You are gonna implode
I've got these crazy feelings
That I can't explain
I've gotta save you baby
Or I'll die in vain
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven just for loving you
I said speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven for loving you
Now I'm rushing on the run, yeah
I wanna have me some fun
I'll speed
Give me what I need
Oh, set me free
Let's speed
On wheels, on wheels, on wheels
Said speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Com'on
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
What was that I was saying?
Seemed so important at the time.
Planted in that chair, crawling inside.
What ever time that was no time at all.
Up or down it磗 just as bad.
I'm tired of spinning my wheels
I need to find a place where my heart can go to heal
I need to get there pretty quick
Hey mister what you got out on that lot you can sell me in a pinch
Maybe one of them souped up muscle cars
The kind that makes you think you're stronger than you are
Color don't matter no I don't need leather seats
All that really concerns me is
Speed
How fast will it go
Can it get me
Over her quickly
Zero to sixty
Can it outrun her memory
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed
I'd like to trade in this old truck
Cause it makes me think of her and that just slows me up
See, it's the first place we made love where we used to sit and talk
On the tailgate all night long but now she's gone
And I need to move on
So give me
Speed
How fast will it go
Can it get me
Over her quickly
Zero to sixty
Can it outrun her memory
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed
Throw me them keys so I can put some miles between us
Tear off that rearview mirror there's nothing left to see here
Let me lean on that gas
Oh she catches up fast
So give me
Speed
How fast will it go
Can it get me
Over her quickly
Zero to sixty
Can it outrun her memory
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed
That's what I need
I'm tired of spinning my wheels
[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
I rough voco, for my locos.
My nigga Hi-C, 2nd II None, AMG
And the Q-U the new
You knew
I (?) to any particular groove
I came ok now
Check it if you want to but it's all in vein
Because me game is stil the same
Perfection!
Fill me as I fill you in
I never rode a pony but I'm genuine
So give me just a little bit of nicotine
And a sticky greeen
And I'm a hit it with the icky cream
Booyah I hit her on the neck with a whip
And made the hooker jump without a safety net
Hit the ground break her back
Get up and do it again because she can really take a shot on the chin
caffeine cappucino chase it with some no-doz
Up all night like the moon glows
Searching for new hoes
They really want to follow my lead
indeed and give a nigga just what I need
Chorus:
When I'm on speed
I'm faster then most
And I can rock a party from coast to coast
The Q-U-I-K is the name I spell
124 beats per minute I rock well
Because I'm tight to the second power
When I hit the liquor
And I don't serve emcees
I'm serve dickas
Bang bang boogie
When I hit a shot of loogie
And the Booger try to put it on me
But I get that moves to show her
I flaunt it like Noah
I strut backside like a Boa
Constrictor when I dicked her down
Game feel just like a circus clown when I work this
Jack of all trades
Master to few
Test these test these 1, 2
Gettin down with my nigga AM to the G in the PM
Hookers wanna see him
Big cat callin
Superfat ballin
Indeed
Give us what we need
When I'm on speed
Chorus 4x
Faster then the concord
On board
Call me the pilot
Baby better let me know shes excited
In the testerosa
Sipppin memosas
Girls want me to sign posters
International with the steelo
Got hookers from Cancoun to Reo
Fire (?ignite it?)
But we don't even try it
You can't but it
Got freaks have to hide it
Hit the weed up
Then turn the speed up
The booty from the backs the only way I eat up
Quicker than Jackie Chan
I search off the Goochi like a rubber band
You want to be more than the average man
But the hoe needs more a job in a man
And a retirement plan
So baby don't cry the blues
Cause I know a gang of hoes in your shoes
Chorus 4x
give me, give me the speed I need
i want more life, don't need this state to last
I want more to burn, I want more to break
so give me the speed I need
my own movements feel so strange
are we all insane, ir is it only me?
believing, believing in the free will
to last, to burn, to die
fail against my domination
learn the sweetness of my mercy
guide my reckless steel
let go, let go, unknown mind
motions, actions from a pure mind
a rare thing! a wise thing?
so begin, move, crush
so restless, dayless, always
fail against my domination
learn the sweetness of my mercy
guide my reckless steel
make me feel
News Drug abuse to the future and the hippocrytes cry: Who dies next?
And I tell you a story from the underground nothing funny about
Get down to get hyped!
Kill me and no one's gonna miss me...
Feel the heat of the highway! To the car to the key of reality!
More and more and more and there's no way back! Bored i am .. Yes I Can!
You may not count in the New World Order!
And now it's time to die cause I can see the sun the end is near I'm feeling high ...
How fast can I run?
Risin', risin' to the top the pills are ready to be dropped
1, 2, 3 and 4 - Got the joker shoot the score!
Speed! Speed! Speed! Speed! (x4)
Just wouldn't believe it! Just wouldn't believe it! (x3)
Tomorrow, tomorrow always tomorrow...
There is no future in the weastern dreamin'!
We feel it, we must beat'em ! It's top late to create a new world!
Alternative living it must be given a chance
Water the problem's solution! No solution if you can't use it!
And then I heard the siren of the police
My blood went up to 90 degrees
You can't see white cats in the snow
Couldn't catch us...
Oh human being, how low can you go?
Risin', risin' to the top....
1, 2, 3 and 4 - Got the joker shoot the score!
Speed! Speed! Speed! Speed! (x4)
Just would't believe it! Just would't believe it! (x3)
Take me with you
My soul is on
Get back with your heart attack
Can I ride your motorbike?
Karaoke nights by the sea
Bomber jacket hyperspace
Leather laced in 3D
Water's crashing
Road keeps turning on
So hold on, hold on
Take me with you
My soul is on
Can I stay with you?
Make it easy for me
You are the most selfish kind
Nevermind what I need
Water's crashing
Road keeps turning on and on and on
So hold on, hold on
Take me with you
My soul is on
Hold on, hold on
Sliup - Ummm - Crack
Goes the backscreen door
She wanted to go for coffee
But I sleep an hour more
See Mary dancing across the porch
She put her rolled up Ziggys in her rock and roll jersey
Jersey, she was born to run
She was the spirit of midnight
She was blinded by the light
She was holed up in jungleland
Straight up
The rock and roll big boss
Turnpike down by the river of desire
Just off Thunder Road
Where you catch her in the Tenth Avenue
Freeze out
She was lost in a flood
Mary, Queen of Arkansas
Dreaming of a Cadillac ranch with a hungry heart
But most of all she was born in the USA
Ashbury Park, New Jersey
Inner state babe
To be exact she was her own rock and roll video
Rolls Royce, low riding
Speed climbing, driving by the sea
Making mad love on other people's private property
While being on the run from the local law for unpaid parking tickets
Can I stay with you?
Make it easy for me
Are you a tramp like that?
Are you born to run?
If you's a tramp like that
C'mon, give me some
You like your guitars fat
You like your beach with bum
I never had no fun
C'mon, let me ride shotgun
'Cause I'm a tramp like that
Yeah, I'm a tramp like that
And I'm gonna give you so much
New Jersey girl
We gonna ride around
New Jersey girl
New Jersey girl, New Jersey sun
Bring it on
Hear me scream
How y'all feel out there?
You drive through NY by night in search of another race
Street are out of coppers, now let's get to leave the
trace
Cars are spitting fire and your hands shake on the
wheel
Put your Benny's down, guy and get in line to win
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Take your car and run all the night
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Speed of light, every race is a fight
Race is starting now, you fight to death, you can't
turn back
Let's lay down the cards and find out on the track
Racers wanna win get ready hold on to the last
It's no time to joke, it's time to run and drivin' fast
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Take your car and run all the night
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Speed of light, every race is a fight
I drive through NY these nights in search of you to run
I will never miss that turn and you'll as good as done
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Take your car and run all the night
Speed of light, Speed of light,
Speed of light, every race is a fight
Speed of light
I found my mind but not I'm lostI feel as though my
body's been tossed
I feel real good I feel real high
This drug I'm on is just a lie
There is a need a need for greed
What I'm living on is known as speed
Look out the window and what do you see
You stare and wonder what'll become of me
Why can't you all just stop and leave me be
One of these days I will break free
I do it too much but it's never above
I'm coming down now so I gotta get more
I need to leave I need to go
It's getting real late I feel real low
I want my house I want my bed
As soon I'm asleep I'll sure be dead
Look out the window and what do you see
You stare and wonder what'll become of me
Why can't you all just stop and leave me be
It's like an endless rolling wave Where does this sorrow come from? It wets the banks of my heart Those bright days
It seems as if the greenery is dying Even though I can see the future fading Surely there will be a day when a flower blooms Just from the number of my tears
Even if we're separated and I can't see tomorrow Please don't stop your love The ocean eventually meets the blue sky I'm not alone Love is alive in my heart
O wind, please blow to my heart Give me the strength not to lose to myself Even if the rain doesn't stop and the darkness is deep I pray the morning will come...
I'll entrust myself to the flow of time And into the unmapped ocean I'll launch my boat If we believe, someday We'll come to the promised land
If there's such a thing as a love that stays forever pure Please don't stop your love If we know The brightness of life being born in this world Let's start on an endless journey
Somewhere in this never ending voyage I'm sure we'll meet again
"Love is alive It is forever breathing in my heart...alive"
Even if we're separated and I can't see tomorrow Please don't stop your love The ocean eventually meets the blue sky I'm not alone Love is forever alive in my heart I will live Love is alive
I remember, I can't forget That summer love, hot and deep Remember, my whole body remembers That melody The last sunset that we saw Even now it lights a fire in my chest Over your shoulders, the summer disappears It seemed as if the two of us were burning up Baby, baby, I was so bold Baby, baby, there was nothing I didn't show him It was strange, I became meek I remember, I can't return His gentle arms, kiss, lies Remember, it played through my whole body That rhythm
Even now, I can hear it It sounds so bittersweet, the whisper of the ocean My tan is fading Will it just become a memory? Baby, baby, with sad courage Baby, baby, I must move on to tomorrow Until the dawn I remember since I met you I've changed My talk, my interests Remember, it soaked into my whole body That melody

The day I came to town
You could see the look in my eye
Some thought I was a demon
Some said it made them want to cry
The way I looked at you
A practiced smile against the grain
I blame all those crazy years
This kid has finally gone insane
[Chorus:]
Am I drowning cos' I can't breathe
Was I so blind, I couldn't see
Should I slow down can you taste the greed
Cos' I feel the need... the need for speed
The trust you put in me
Has all but gone fade to grey
The word amongst the righteous
"His souls no good" they all would say
I'm an angel for the devil
I'm the saint of all things fast
Try an follow me, your leader
I'll take you to a higher mast
[Chorus]
I'll live the way to choose
The curious ask question why
Flying high amongst the clouds
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
[Chorus]
The need, the need for speed
I feel the need
I feel the need
The need for speed
I won't say too much to you
The dream we've had is not coming true
Our luck is running out of time
And every word is a bullet now
Together you and i have nothing left to carry on
Give me something else than this
I'm locked in this uneasiness
I'm not the act you've made me play
Somehow your queen will fade away
Together you and i have nothing left to carry on
No drug, no dream to kill this mighty storm
I'll turn my head and wash away
The thing we've had, the world we've made
Time won't be our medicine
We've got to live with ourselves again
Together you and i have nothing left to carry on
No drug, no dream to kill this mighty storm
The harder you try, the more you lose,
Stop fooling yourself again
The harder you try, the more you lose,
Stop fooling yourself again
Together you and i have nothing left to carry on
No drug, no dream to kill this mighty storm
Together you and i have nothing left to carry on
