Now What?

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat] Now what? I'm done, I've done all I need With this music biz, so I can finally sleep Or rather let these beats sleep, they've suffered enough Since I started this back up again in 2001 Plus 10 years, I've probably shed ten tears Crystalized to the point they'd shear through your fears It's clear that you're trying to queer My triumphant return to the gen pop of this year- Obsessed society, I'm probably part of this Considering I said on S4 I'd quit by 27 And since I'm 27, I guess that means a reverend Is gonna send SOTB to heaven and return my real name? Yeah, that's right, the same old Mister Speed on the Beat... That killed all of these beats is the guy on your street In flip-flops and hoodies, since I don't give a damn About appeasing to anyone, whether woman or man Now what, I guess they wanna know Where do the journeys of speed continue after the beat slows? To raising the future, remember those songs about seeds? I've got two and they need a dad, not a rap fiend Music has helped me get where I'm at But where I want to be? Surpasses all of that And my mom, she didn't raise me to just drop the beats Regardless my skill with the boards, I think it's gotta cease So with that, I bid you all adieu Speed's finally finishing up that journey from school From Treeka Baylor-laced tunes to Juke Joints going boo To producing tracks for True, to blowing up the moon To bipolar episodes and hospital rooms To losing my dad, my cuz, grand, and my mama too To doing things with people more established than the dude I'm finally free, I'm finally done all I can do Or rather all I've wanted to, I got my buzz I got my bucks, and I got my point across That anyone can do whatever they want to do As long as they work at it and never leave the room Of hope, to tumble down despair's alley And the payoff? Great, but more goals surround me... And by the way, "queer" isn't just some type of word Used to describe a non-binary boy or girl So, before you get GLAAD on me, read a dictionary I'm finally getting more use out of that English degree I love all people, and apologies If you got offended by my unhinging, but sometimes it's need -ed to blow off a bit of steam So goodbye, maybe forever, we'll see... But just remember, please be a KING Keep Integrity Never Guises in this thing And remember just take life slow Though your number may get called 'fore the show goes on But please just take it slow Savor the thing, because it's over before you know it... Boom... [Outro: Speed on the Beat] Now what? Honestly, man? I don't know. We'll see... Speed
