Speed
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We trained hard
For a long, long time
Being who we're meant to be
Life saviors
Protecting the streets
Floor the pedal to the metal
Big block engine roars
Flip the red lights on
Siren wails it's warning song
Let's roll
Let’s roll
Full speed
911
Police, Fire, & EMS
Deputies, Rangers, & all the rest
Emergency races us in
Pull to your right
We are charging in
Floor the pedal to the metal
Big block engine roars
Flip the red lights on
Siren wails it's warning song
Let's roll
Let’s roll
Full speed
911
This ain't no game
It's danger for tactical gain
Push, push, push
Bravely face fear and pain
Locked in our DNA
To protect and save
Floor the pedal to the metal
Big block engine roars
Flip the red lights on
Siren wails it's warning song
Let's roll
Let’s roll
Full speed
911
Full Speed 911
Pull to your right
Your other right
911 coming through
Full Speed 911
