"Keep Up" is an unused song for the Sonic the Hedgehog film, performed by the late Juice WRLD. It was originally going to be the main theme for the film, but was replaced with "Speed Me Up".[1]
Lyrics[]
- Gotta go fast
- Gotta go faster, faster
- Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
- Can you keep up? I don't think it's enough
- Yeah, I'm calling your bluff, too quick for you
- Knuckles, Money Mayweather, raise a fist at us
- Emeralds dancin' on my body and they're all chaos (Oh)
- Can you keep up? I don't think it's enough
- Yeah, I'm calling your bluff, too quick for you
- Knuckles, Money Mayweather, raise a fist at us
- Emeralds dancin' on my body and they're all chaos (Oh)
- I don't need a car, to run really fast, really quick, really far
- If I run through the past, see the cuts and the scars
- That's why I keep runnin', it keep me from fallin' apart
- From fallin' apart
- In order to get really far
- Gotta acknowledge where you are
- Take off like a comet through the stars
- In these red Balenciagas, feel like Sonic Hedgehog
- Oh-oh (Let's go, let's go, let's go)
- Ain't no debate and they know I'm the greatest
- [?] ridin' the radio waves
- Disregard the people that's givin' you hate
- Let your success slap them in the face
- What they gon' do to you now? You great
- Woke up today feelin' great
- So I called Sonic on the phone
- And said we should have a race
- From the start to the finish, I'll be in the lead
- And I'll never slow down, ain't no pumpin' no breaks
- Remember what I said about radio-waves
- When the haters come 'round, just wash 'em away
- I'm just winnin' and stuntin' and runnin'
- I got 'em like "Homina-homina-homina-homina"
- Once I start runnin', can't do nothin' but give in
- Welcome to my world, fast life livin'
- Gotta go fast, ain't no way I'll be in last place
- Get your running shoes out the stash, ayy
- The ones you was usin' in gym class, ayy
- Don't look at me like that
- I didn't know I was that fast, ayy
- Three steps, I'm honest, like two-hundred on the dash, ayy
- Can you keep up? I don't think it's enough
- Yeah, I'm calling your bluff, too quick for you
- Knuckles, Money Mayweather, raise a fist at us
- Emeralds dancin' on my body and they're all chaos (Oh)
- Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
Connection to film[]
- Can you keep up? I don't think it's enough/Yeah, I'm calling your bluff, too quick for you - A direct reference to Sonic's speed and how Robotnik tried to keep up with him in the film in his Eggpod.
- If I run through the past, see the cuts and the scars/That's why I keep runnin', it keep me from fallin' apart - Sonic has a theme of running or running from his troubles in the film as a way to vent.
- In these red Balenciagas, feel like Sonic Hedgehog - This is in reference to Sonic receiving his trademark red and white sneakers from Jojo.
