Yeah, this is me Speeder Razor
Yeah, this one is a dedication, man
A dedication to Hip-Hop
I almost quit rapping, man
This track, I wrote when I thought about quitting rapping, man
Hear me out
Man, the only MC you need is me,
Not these other rappers who just wanna kill you
(You don’t need them)
They just gonna kill you (They will bury you)
But then I’m still thinking of leaving you, I really do
Man, I will visit your resting place, I won’t forget you
I know it hurts, cause I never thought of this day
I never thought of saying goodbye to you in this way
After I released the “Volume 2, Forever Speeder the Mixtape”
Maybe I’ve said what I had to say
Maybe that’s not enough cause I’ve lost two mixtapes
More than 35 tracks, maybe that’s how it was supposed be
Those tracks, they weren’t even released
I’m really thinking maybe it’s my cue to leave
I’m not making music for anyone’s approval, I do this shit for me
I’ve been patient with you for too long
But I’ve never lost it, that’s why I’ve made this song
And I’m tryna leave my legacy living in Hip-Hop
I’ve put this shit in simple terms hoping you can understand it
Hoping you can take off the ring I’ve put on your finger, I can’t stand it
They’re turning up and dancing now
I can’t be keeping up with somebody who’s changing now
Well, I can, but I don’t want to, I will leave you alone
But if you wanna talk to me and make sense, you gon find me at home
Cause for now, you don’t make sense
I wonder if you still gon be relevant in the following years
Because they changed you from being “Hip-Hop” to “big-flop”
Where’s the motivation that the kids get from those songs?
But I don’t care cause I’ve got mine
I’m talking songs with messages, girl, I’m talking life
Many people can relate to what I’m saying
I’m doing rap cause I’m inspired by so many
And I’m tryna inspire somebody else with what I’m saying
I hear them begging, they be like “Speeder consider staying, bro!”
Ayo, I’ll have to think about it
Maybe drop another tape and show them that I still run this shit
Show them hip-hop is mine too, I married it too
I’ve been the best even way before dropping “Volume 2”
“Forever Speeder Volume 3”, it is coming soon
But this is “BARZ”, you gon have to hear my first two tapes
And “Dream Chaser”, maybe listen through to “Volume 2”
You will understand why they’re not supposed to be called “Mixtapes”
I’ve put my heart in a plate of reality, for real
Not even flesh-eaters can make the truth disappear
But nowadays commercial rap is trash,
Total opposite of what I rep
It’s funny what they do for cash
And that’s the only thing they use you for
But if you ask me why I made this song?
(“Why did you make this song?”)
I’m gonna tell you that
“You don’t need nobody else,
(You don’t need ‘em, you don’t need ‘em)
All that you need is me (I’m all you need)”
I think you’re the only person married to many people
Even your own gender,
But I understand all you want is for us to be equal
What a lovely girl
You’re giving residence to everybody, unlike where I study at
I really gotta treat you with respect
I chose you but don’t cry when you realise that I have left
Already did many songs in less than two years
Although, on me, some people really slept
It took me a diss track to make them wake up
But they don’t wanna listen, this ain’t your everyday bars
This ain’t some turn-up shit, I spit that real life
Bars that got you resurrected;
I gave you life when they thought you’re dead,
So you’ve gotta show respect to me
The Razor cutting legs, nobody can step to me!
Between me and hip-hop, I feel that chemistry
If I leave now, you gon be dead; All you need is me!
(I’m all you need)
Razor, yeah
I hope you see that, yeah
It would've been a tragedy, man, if I quit rapping, man
Actually, it would be a tragedy, man, a big tragedy
(For real) I'm here to save this shit
(I ain't going nowhere)
Yeah
