I don’t wanna make profits out of my songs, man, this shit is from the heart
I know all of my mixtapes should be put in them shelves, in them stores
But, I don’t wanna sell my soul to anyone, I don’t wanna sell my life
Because that’s the only message behind all of my songs
Man, I’m doing this shit for me and my homies, I’m doing this shit for Zastron
Man, I’m doing this shit for Hip-Hop, mixtape rapper but I am still strong
Because I can go face to face with all these platinum rappers
I’m talking ‘bout these rappers filling domes and all them niggas
I see some niggas look at me like “I don’t know this nigga”
You’ll never know me when you lock yourself up in the dark,
Better come out in the light cause I’m Black Speeder
I don’t wanna introduce myself each and every time
If you wanna know me better,
Go back and listen to “Forever Speeder, the Volume 1”
When you’re going through my whole catalogue,
You’ll understand I’m soul-searching just before I spit the rhymes
“Forever Speeder Volume 2”, the best reference
So, you better make sure that get that tape
That shit is very strong, I’ve put my heart up in the plate
So that you’ll see the ache running through all of my veins
In addition to the blood, my arteries, they carry pain
This is Hip-Hop, so whenever I do this Art,
I make sure that everything that I write is from the heart
If I tell you that I love you, I mean it from the heart
So, it’s up to you whether you close your heart or open up
If I ever diss you, that shit is really from the heart
So, you better take out your script and start acting up
If I tell you that we’re best friends, man, that’s from the heart
So, it’s up to you whether you real or you fuck it up
If you see me going to the school, I don’t do it just to pass the time
I do it ‘cause I need a better life
Yeah. Okay, let me just explain this,
Writing lyrics to these beats, my brain and my heart be collaborating,
Wondering “Am I gon ever perform live again?
Hit the stage and demonstrate, like when I paint pics?”
And I be using my mind, that’s where that’s coming from
Tryna think of everything unique when I’m writing songs
Don’t be surprised, I’ve been listening to real ones,
People who’ve been through the struggle,
Those who really picked the shovel
In order to make a living, walking bare feet on gravel
Tryna overcome the struggles, life be throwing up the troubles
Life’s gonna be testing you in many ways
Giving you people who don’t care, with your heart, they play
With experience, I know I’ve got the best teacher
But I won’t allow any of it to repeat some of the lessons,
Cause I respect teachers so much to not be listening
I feel like some of these people don’t need to be with me!
Why did I give you a chance to break my heart into pieces?!
How could you not tell me that I was walking into faeces?
Man, I guess I understand the highway
Cause I’ve hit the road, now I know things don’t go my way at all times,
Sometimes you win and then sometimes you lose
That’s why I feel like every place and every stage I’m going to is school
Don’t ever judge me ‘til you fit these shoes
Until then, let me honour what I’m going through
‘Cause everything I say is from the heart
Some of you who’re listening know that it hits home,
Man, it’s more than bars, it’s real life, not music for charts
Been giving you something that got you thinking from the start
Yeah, ‘cause everything you hear is from the heart
I pour my soul, I think before I talk, I speak my mind
So, if I tell you that I love you, that’s from the heart
Like it’s made of glass, please be careful when around my heart
