Lyrics from “Speed Demon”
I don’t really need a reason to stall you, that’s all you
Don’t pretend I got a reason to call you, it’s not true
I only got a couple people to talk to and it’s not you (Yeah)
And I don’t even got the patience to argue
So are you out of your mind?
I got a lot of reasons to fight
I got a lot of reasons to drive over you
But I, I put my pride to the side
I put my, I put my
I said keep checking, keep checking these chickens, uh, yeah
And I go speed racing, speed racing for the record, uh, yeah
And I achieve greatness, getting better by the second, uh, yeah
And I go speed racing, we ain’t finished, we ain’t finished just yet
Don’t stress, don’t stress it, baby, uh
They try to say I’m out of my mind (Mh)
But now they singing every line (Out of my mind)
I got a lot of mountains to climb (Mh)
Had to leave some baggers behind (Yeah, mh)
And there’s something that’s stronger than me
That’s paving me a new lane and giving me an energy
And there’s something in the way she made me certain I’m enough
Every day she put the loving on me
And all the people, they be doubting on me
They gave me witness my redemption, now they up on my seat
