High Speed

(album: Still I Rise - 1999)

[E.D.I. Amin:]
High speed
For all my niggas living in the rush
Slow it down just a notch baby
It's going be alright, it's going be alright

[2Pac (E.D.I. Amin):]
Life at high speed, life at high speed
Fuck the punishment, Thai weed
(Buy me a gun), liquor and puffing Thai weed

[2Pac:]
I live life High Speed
Slightly disillusioned by weed
I breed thug muthafuckas even worse than me
When I bleed, my enemies best to flee quickly
Harm me, my army
Niggas decease swiftly
Look at you now, why you wanna act out?
I pull the hammer back
Strike wit' a cannon that'll blow yo muthafucking back out
They blast but I'm still standing
Slightly scarred
Deep questions for the lord "Why he don't like me, god?"
So, though my life was hard with no remorse
I absorb all lessons, provide protection for the boss
Rolling in my double R, rugged and ruthless
Keep a vest through these hard times, knowing it's useless
And my crew, we crooked, be mistaken for Jewels
We all about our cash, blast if you break the rules
Fools turned snitch for the D.A., be heaven-sent
Switched like a stone-bitch, turned state's evidence, why?
Then they wonder why niggas die
Put your family in danger, just to get high
Now, what the hell can we get from jail?
More tricks for the crime trade, this is hell
Bail out, a thug nigga fresh out the jailhouse
Open your safe count and take all the mail out
Whatever happens happens
Whoever falls dies
We fresh out of time, living blind, so we all ride
In times like these, chronic or Thai weed
Puffing through this high speed
And people say...

[2Pac:]
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?
I'm gonna buy me a gun
Then what's next?
Food and sex, house parties in the projects
We going all night
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?
I'm gonna buy me a gun
Then what's next?
Food and sex, house parties in the projects
We going all night

[Yaki Kadafi:]
Verbal assassin, I hit the corner fast, blasting
Hot plastic stretch your chest plate back like elastic
No need to push me to split ya
I love beef, like pussy and pistols
For all you pussies that's softer than tissue
I ride by like the fall guy out the roof
Busting at you wise guy, getting high, sipping hundred proof (yeah)
Give me the joints low to verdict wit' mine
Get that ass attacked, murdered, and robbed, blind from behind
Rapid shots pouring
Catching niggas while they snoring
Kicking his door in
I'll leave your whole fucking family in mourning
Bust me, you itchy-bitchy types can't touch me
Fronting like you're hard
I'll play your fucking yard like a trussel

[2Pac:]
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?
I'm gonna buy me a gun
Then what's next?
Food and sex, house parties in the projects
We going all night
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?
I'm gonna buy me a gun
Then what's next?
Food and sex, house parties in the projects
We going all night

[E.D.I. Amin:]
At times, I look through times wit' so much anger
Wondering why it keeps on passing, pushing me into danger
No stranger to hard times or the good ones
At times I'm amazed
At what the motherfucking hoods done
What we do to get paid
All day, for the almighty, dollar
Don't even bother to holla
We all destined to be swallowed
By the same thing we lust for
Threw away our morals and values and dust more
Niggas is dying tomorrow
We, bailing on borrowed times
Nigga the clocks ticking
Approaching is the day you gonna need money or Glocks spitting
Cops sitting, politicians passing laws you ain't know what
Soon that money gon' be illegal when you die to
Keep your dough up
But I ain't going tell you "what?" to stop chasing paper
Man, I'm just like y'all, I worry 'bout that shit later
Put the metal to the pedal, slash up nigga, blaze
Let's get blowed out high speed 'til the end of my days
Now my people say

[2Pac:]
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?

Then what's next?
Food and sex, house parties in the projects
We going all night

We going all night
Whatcha gonna do when you get outta jail?
