[Intro]
[Engine rev into speeding heartbeat]
Yeah… velocity… can’t stop now…
[Hook]
Heart racin’ in the fast lane, velocity takin’ hold (takin’ hold)
Chasin’ dreams that feel empty, turnin’ my heart cold (heart cold)
Memories crash like car wrecks, stories left untold (left untold)
Speedin’ past the pain, but it won’t let me go (let me go)
Accelerate the hustle, decelerate the love (the love)
Lost too many to the game, now I’m pushin’ from above (from above)
I’m a ghost behind the wheel, spittin’ fire from the mud (from the mud)
Heart attack on the mic, but they still want the blood (want the blood)
[Verse 1]
Woke up chasin’ another check, same stress, different flex
Momma worried ’bout my health while I’m dodgin’ all the wrecks
Of the fake love in my circle, they just want what they can get
Turned my back on the real ones, now I’m drownin’ in regret
Brother caught a bullet young, chasin’ paper like I do
Now I’m at his grave askin’ “God, why him not me too?”
Keep the engine revvin’, can’t afford to hit the brakes
Anxiety attack but I perform for the stakes
Crowds yellin’ my name but inside I’m feelin’ fake
Mask on tight, hit the booth, turn the trauma to a take
Nights I cried in the studio, beats drownin’ out the sobs
Success lookin’ good but it came with heavy costs
Friends turned to foes when the money started talkin’
Now I’m isolated at the top with the demons stalkin’
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
She said I move too fast, couldn’t keep up with the pace
Tried to be my peace but I was married to the chase
Now I’m scrollin’ old messages, heart beatin’ out the case
What we had is in the past, left without a trace
Family say they proud but they don’t see the toll it take
Pressure buildin’ like a bomb ’bout to make my spirit break
But I keep acceleratin’, pedal down, no debate
Even if it kills me slow, this the path that I create
Flashbacks hit in 4K, every mistake on replay
Turn the volume up louder just to keep the thoughts at bay
I’m a product of the hustle, but the hustle took my joy
Now I’m spittin’ from the void, hopin’ someone hears the boy
Who just wanted to make it, now he’s losin’ all his grip
On the things that really matter while he’s slippin’ on the script
[Bridge] [half-time, vulnerable]
Sometimes I just wanna stop… take a breath and feel alive
But the world’s on fast forward and I’m scared to fall behind
If I hit the brakes now, will the dream just fade away?
Or will the pain finally catch me at the end of the day?
[Heartbeat slows… then slams back to full speed]
[Final Hook] [with ad-libs]
Heart racin’ in the fast lane… (yeah)
Velocity takin’ hold… (can’t let go)
Chasin’ dreams that feel empty… (empty)
Turnin’ my heart cold… (cold)
[Outro]
[Heartbeat slowing, engine fading]
Still speedin’… still speedin’…
