Lyrics
- Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)
- Left my heart and my soul, you see that I ran
- Rings of gold and awards sit on my nightstand
- I've got something they want, but it's mine to give (Yeah)
- Free my struggles, detach me from this island (Free)
- Bleed my knuckles, attack me for my finance
- I'm dealing with this pain, I just can't let you come throw it away
- Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
- So I run (Yeah, yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
- Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
- So I run (Yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Yeah, huh)
- Speed me up (It's Boat, speed, speed, it's Boat, yeah, ayy)
- Takin' off quick, too fast, on my tippy toes
- Undefeated, bro, no L's, still (Go)
- Takin' off quick, too fast, on my tippy toes
- Undefeated, bro, no L's, still six and oh
- Run around town, profound mentality
- Bad young ting, six rings sittin' under me
- These dudes actin' like we ain't who they wanna be
- Got me tickled, tryna act so selfishly
- Pocket full of green stacked up like a pot of peas
- Big boy dawg, walkin' 'round with a lot of fleas
- Zoom quick, go too fast (Ayy)
- Every day, I gotta make it count
- Every second, gotta make it last
- Roll around, do the double dash
- Big glow on my skin, takin' off them tints (Hey)
- Lambo (Hey)
- Hold up, wait, got a date
- Ladies love my speed, quick to run up trees (Yeah)
- Who you seen like me? Nobody (It's Boat)
- Stayin' in my lane, best friend named Tails
- Balance runnin' on rails, I can never fail
- So I run (Yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
- Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
- So I run (Yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
- Speed me up (Speed, speed, yeah, ayy)
- Speed me up, ayy, speed me up
- Don't turn down the bass, someone tell the DJ leave me up
- They was sleepin' on me, now they see me up, beam me up
- Rings on me like LeBron, rings on me like 23
- New 911, it gon' speed fast
- He was talkin' down, I level up on his ***
- Tell lil' baby I might hit her up, 'cause she bad
- Money hit my phone and now I'm runnin' to the cash, yeah, yeah
- Marathon, just like Nipsey the great (Yeah)
- Spin and dash to the safe, do the dash like Tay K
- (I'm dealing with this pain, I just can't let you come throw it away
- Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
- Don't crash, really go fast
- Press on the gas, four hundred my dash
- Never come last
- Came a long way from the back of my dad's
- Since I got racks, I'ma never look back
- I'm goin' fast on my way to the bank
- Level up, I'm movin' up on my rank
- Pedal to metal, I'm winnin' the race, yeah
- So I run (Yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
- Speed me up (Speed, yeah)
- So I run (Yeah), keep me up
- Creep on me, they speak on me
- They slow down when they bring me up like (Huh)
