Go Faster
Richie Kotzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It ain't nobody ever catch me
Yeah, I was hustling and taking that money
We made it look so damn easy!
You can't slow me down, slow me down
I only got one speed
I'm gonna ride until I can't see the ground
I just wanna keep goin' faster
I'm gonna fly and I ain't coming down
I just wanna keep goin' faster
Baby, let's go FASTER!
Yeah yeah yeah
Here's what I gotta do.
I was so many times and never been busted
I don't remember how to lose
You're always saying I can't escape justice
How many times I got to tell you?
You can't slow me down, slow me down
I only got one speed
I'm gonna ride until I can't see the ground
I just wanna keep goin' faster
I'm gonna fly and I ain't coming down
I just wanna keep goin' faster
Baby, let's go FASTER!
