Speed on the Beat Late Night Movie Show (Independent)

Tekst piosenki

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat]
Hey night owls, how you’re doing?
You probably feel foul, and sour from the movements
Not going your way, well, here’s a respite
Some realness, wrapped up with some tutelage
We skip the infomercials those other cats show…
Since we know, that you are, more receptacle
To stories that you can relate to
And on the real? No one can relate to karaoke pop soul!
Our first story? About a kid
Who wanted to show love to his upbringing
When he’d stay up late at night, watch Fox 45
When he should’ve been dreaming about the next fight…
The Power Rangers would have against Rita and ish
I was out doing things that I regret in this
But, sometimes you’ve gotta get out on your own
Be independent, for your life, you need to do so on this show

[Chorus: Speed on the Beat]
Late night…movie show…
You know, this ain’t for kids…
Things are kind of tight, but my mind’s hella right
Sit back, lemme blow up this beat
Indie…pendent
Never signing my life away
And until…my dying day?
Independent is how I’ll stay

[Verse Two: Speed on the Beat]
Our latest creature feature contains some graphic scenes
So if you’re squeamish, this ain’t your ish
So relinquish the remote control
Or turn to the Night Flicks on WJZ
For those that remain, here’s the basis of this thing
We have a young black guy, shooting for his dreams
But behind the scenes, things aren’t so pretty
But, I’ll get into THAT on the next LP
„Help me,” the man says, as he plays with the train
Lays in his brain, and contemplates a way
To get known without sacrificing his soul
Keeping integrity all day, until he grows old
Until his soul goes away, here’s how he stays
On his own, self-made, that’s the DAR way!
He signed to some labels back in the day
„But, never again,” SOTB!!! says on this…show

[Chorus: Speed on the Beat]
Late night…movie show…
You know, this ain’t for kids…
Things’re tight, but my mind’s so right
Sit back, lemme blow up this beat
Indie…pendent
Never signing my life away
And until…my dying day?
Independent is how I’ll stay

[Verse Three: Speed on the Beat]
This beat was originally a throwaway
So, that tells you the ish I’m on these next couple months
I’ve got another kid on the way go that-a-way…
If you wanna act tough or you’ll get snuffed
I’ve said that before, but sometimes I feel like
I’m in an infinite loop and I can’t get right
I’m stuck on „autopilot,”
That’s the BD talking. But when I get up out of this funk, man?
I start stalking the game for the lames
Who want to go and try to besmirch my name
Rebirth the flames, that I seemed to forsake yesterday
No mas Nice Speed, I’m killing everything
That gets in the way, annihilating all of these fakes
That’s why I had to go on commercial break
To keep from being Bill O’Reilly on an Inside Edition
But, now SOTB’s back
To reclaim my position, and complete my mission on this…
