Speed Racer Lyrics

We haven't kicked it in a while, I been so low-key
We ain't got lifted in a while, chasing after the paper
Things got different after while, tryna match your speed
We playing catch-up, I'm tryna catch up
We haven't kicked it in a while, I been so low-key
We ain't got lifted in a while, chasing after the paper
Things got different after while, tryna match your speed
We playing catch-up, I'm tryna catch up

I'm tryna takeoff, me and my migos
La familia, my flows they on Danny Trejo, better get familiar
My mind state on kill these niggas, tryna kill these niggas
Know the grind, paper feel me, nigga
You don't feel me, nigga
I need stages and megaphones
I need money no advance, fuck a mega loan
I'm skipping rocks that I swear used to be my stepping stones
I'm stepping light like I'm on ice so none of my lessons clone
Please do not hate me 'cause you less informed
Thought it was one of those no weapons formed situations
Caught implications of other that's why I'm on your line
It's not as simple as you make time for what you make time
You know me well if we FaceTime

We haven't kicked it in a while, I been so low-key
We ain't got lifted in a while, chasing after the paper
Things got different after while, tryna match your speed
We playing catch-up, I'm tryna catch up
We haven't kicked it in a while, I been so low-key
We ain't got lifted in a while, chasing after the paper
Things got different after while, tryna match your speed
We playing catch-up, I'm tryna catch up
