I Am Speed

Intro

Yuh, ayy, skrrt, ah

(ha) Fast lane, fast brain, fast flame

(uh) Watch me talk, watch me spray, watch me rain, ayy

Verse

Tap-tap on the timeline, tongue-tied tornado, tornado

Mic-magnet in my mouth, magnets make the motto, motto

Flip verbs, flip verbs, flip verbs till the grammar rattles

Syllables split like glass, glass, I shatter battle castles

Rapid-run river, rivet rivet, rivet rivet, rivet rivet

Tongue gymnastics, gym-class, flip-flip, do a pivot

Quick stitch, quick glitch, quick switch, quick stitch, quick stitch

Words whip whip, whip-wind, whip the wick and then I hitch

Breath control, breath cold, breath hold, hold the metronome

Metaphor machinery, machine-made, make it microphone

Clock blink, clock broke, clock can't catch the cadence

Verbal roller coaster, coast, coast, coast, no patient

Meter manic, manic, mariner mapping my margins

Lips lace lace, lace the letters like bargains

Arcane architecture, articulate artillery

Shoot syllables like flint, sparks, sparks, spark the vicinity

Chunk-chunk, check the checklist, chest check, chest chest

Bulletproof barbed bazooka bars, I'm blessed, blessed, blessed

Orbit orate, I operate at overdrive, optimum

Zip-zip zippers on the zipper of my lexicon, I'm on 'em

Flash phrase, flash flood, flood the forum, form the format

Rapid-fire rhymes, rake the rafters, rack the soundtrack

Tongue tornado, tempo torque, torque the tempo

Hit a hundred verbs, hundred verbs, hundred verbs, let's go (ayy)

Chorus

I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed)

I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed), I am speed (I am speed)

Verse

Snap-back, snap-track, snap the syntax, snap the script

Verbivore, verb vandal, vintage venom with the vips

Syllable sniper, quiet riot, riot, riot on the line

Clip the consonant, consonant click-clack, design divine

Spin spit, spin split, spindrift, spindrift, spindrift, spin

Rhyme-architect, I blueprint bridges with a grin

Knuckle-knock knockout, knuckles knock, I knot the knot

Tongue ties tie the tempo to the track, I take the spot

Hyperdrive, hyperspeed, hyperbole the highway

Lyrical locksmith, lock lips, lock locks, lock the gateway

Morse code in my mouth, dot-dash, dash, dash, I dash

Rapid-run ribbons ribbon round the ribs, I stash the stash

Metronome menace, menace mettle, metal mettle, metal mettle

Quick quibble, quick quiver, quick quip, quick kettle

Mouth muscle, mouth hustle, muscle memory makes motion

Syllable surgeon, stitch the stitch, stitch the ocean

Skrrt—ad-libs like bullets, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh

Ayy—accent, attack, act, actualize, I'm up

Uh—air breaks, air grace, articulate the outrun

Ha—hammer down on the hampered, hammer hands, I'm done

Fast talk, fast walk, fast chalk on the scoreboard

Language lightning, lightning-laced, light the lore

Do the dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy del
