"Speedin'" is a song co-written and recorded by American rapper Rick Ross. It was released in October 2007 as the lead single from his second album Trilla. The song features R&B singer R. Kelly. The song is produced by production team, The Runners.
- Also, Rick Ross's second verse is replaced with R. Kelly's verse.
The music video features cameo appearances by DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Gunplay, Trina and Diddy. DJ Khaled and Rick Ross are stopped by the police on a Miami bridge for speeding and are asked for license and registration, but instead, Rick Ross gets out of the car and jumps off the bridge. Rick Ross races Diddy and Fat Joe on the water on speed boats and R. Kelly on the road. At the end of the song, the officer is given a watch and tells Rick Ross and DJ Khaled to have a nice day and they drive off.
William Leonard Roberts II (born January 28, 1976), better known by his stage name Rick Ross, is an American rapper and entrepreneur.
In 2009, Ross founded the record label Maybach Music Group, on which he released his studio albums Deeper Than Rap (2009), Teflon Don (2010), God Forgives, I Don't (2012), Mastermind, Hood Billionaire (2014) and Black Market (2015). Ross was also the first artist signed to Diddy's management company Ciroc Entertainment. In early 2012, MTV named Ross as the Hottest MC in the Game.
William Leonard Roberts II was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and raised in Carol City, Florida. After graduating from Miami Carol City Senior High School, he attended the historically black college Albany State University on a football scholarship. Roberts worked as a correctional officer for 18 months from December 1995, until his resignation in June 1997.
In his early years at Suave House Records, Roberts initially made his debut under the pseudonym Teflon Da Don. He made his recording debut on the song "Ain't Shhh to Discuss" on Erick Sermon's lone album for DreamWorks, Def Squad Presents Erick Onasis. In the mid-2000s, he changed his name to Rick Ross. He derived his stage name from the former drug kingpin "Freeway" Rick Ross, to whom he has no connection.
Legendary, Runners, you know me, o ooooh, o ooooh

Every dollar that I count can't grow in my account
My account can't count up all my money in an hour
Cause it's comin too fast and I'm scared it won't last
Look that white girl in her face told her this was her last dance
GOD DAMN speed got my heart racin
See I don't have the nominations you can blame it on my occupation
Ceasar salad, Caesars Palace
You not a boss little nigga cause your cheese is average
In the Benz ak ridin shotgun
It's a Benz cause your broke 'til you got one
It ain't nothing do 100 in the maybach
Throwin money out the roof motherfuckin brake pads
Fast life, I live, big cars, big cribs, speedin
I'm speedin, I can't stop it's all I know

See people came lookin for me I got ghosts see the west coast

Big money boss major

Get hit between the eyes he died they can't save him

Staring at the skyline I got a million on my mind I'm the best
and these pussy niggas running out of time Ricky Ross
I'm the chill quarter mill for the time piece
Ya I a bought a wheels like deals for the dime piece
Sittin in the living room watching the Grammys
Wishing that was me that was on the Grammys
All I needed was someone to get behind me money rain on me

Homey help me out cause this boy is a drug dealer
Nap time cause my gift grew wings
And now I'm flying down like the cool crew winds

Overseas boss (I'm speedin I'm speedin)

And I came up so fast movies, endorsements, films...
