Speed
Eightball & M.J.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me brag for a sec about my G.O.D.
Ain't nobody got me like He got me
And He'll never fail me
That's a guarantee
How He loves me so good remains a mystery
Had to say goodbye to pain & misery
That sinful lifestyle wasn't doing it for me
I was walking dead
But now I'm walking free & redeemed
What the world had to offer
Just wasn't my speed
Lost soul
No hope
I was so broke
God came
And reclaimed
What the devil stole
It's easier to trip up
When you're always on the go
I had to learn how to be still
Cause running empty ain't no joke
When I lose my way along the road
He always seems to come
To get me right back on
And I'm glad He does
Cause I can't do this on my own
Everything I have
Is directly from His resolve
Shout out to my boys
Derrick, Grant, and Dro
Y'all keep it real and
hold me accountable
God what more can I ask for
If there's need you supply
So reliable,
That's why I...
Had to say goodbye to pain & misery
That sinful lifestyle wasn't doing it for me
I was walking dead
But now I'm walking free & redeemed
What the world had to offer
Just wasn't my speed
I swear it's like I'm living in a dream
But everything is exactly what it seems
I can't lie and say
I don't go through things
But I've got a God who's walking beside me
Had to say goodbye to pain & misery
That sinful lifestyle wasn't doing it for me
I was walking dead
But now I'm walking free & redeemed
What the world had to offer
Just wasn't my speed
It wasn't my speed
Wasn't my speed




Wasn't my speed (It wasn't my)
Wasn't my speed
