"Speed Kills" lyrics - GIL SCOTT-HERON
GIL SCOTT-HERON
"Speed Kills"
[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson]
Speed on by
Don't seem to have the time
What about this life?
What about this life
Can I call mine?
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson]
Issues in the paper
Somehow, I'm not concerned
Seems that I've been here before
Here before, but I never learn
[Bridge 1: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson]
Children
Slowly turn
[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson]
Time stay gone
We never saw it go
Now what do we have?
Now what do we have
That we may show?
[Verse 4: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson]
Friends you swore you'd never lose
Melted from your style
Down the tunnels of your youth
Of your youth. Now you never smile
Children
Learn to smile
