Was it ever understandable that I could never do / anything in this world that I put my mind to / well my answer to that is not true / cuz I got a new drug that’s storming in my brain like a monsoon / do it up, now I’m headed out the galaxy / beyond the infinite to feel a rush defying gravity / forget normality cuz it’s about a different kind of sanity within a metamorphosed form of our anatomy / don’t get it twisted though, this brings about a change that makes you feel mystical / and I want the rest to know there’s nothing to be scared of at all, this quality shit’s invincible / and um / I’m feeling it now and I can hardly sit down / adrenaline rush, I’m taken over in a second flat / and negativity will never pollute the energy cuz it’ll take us to where Heaven’s at / where is that / it ain’t weed, it ain’t meth, it ain’t coke / matter fact if I could label it, it ain’t dope / but it brings about the same euphoria you may know / and I got some but do you gotta pay—no / it’s available to anyone in need / and I’m here to tell you ‘bout it cuz I wanna plant seeds / the perfect combination that’ll make your eyes bleed / and you’ll be capable of anything when tripping on the Godspeed /
GODSPEED / whenever you want it you know you’ll get it with intrepid alphabetics that’ll keep you energetic / GODSPEED / aesthetic, prophetic, poetic, let it take control with it’s theoretical anesthetic / GODSPEED / frenetically it gives us true identities and intensity with an energy to keep us keeping on kinetically (GODSPEED) as entities engulfed within serenity, synthetically composed in perfect chemistry phonetically /
Go get stoned and go get spun then go get amped and go get drunk / go get bent off anything at random but you’ll never feel a feeling quite like this one / I ain’t kidding you / everyone I went and convinced has never had a reason to bring arguments against / this magnificence coming in abundance / cuz it’s beautiful and there ain’t never been another one since / or never will be, not reputably / although what could be Hell to you could be Heaven to me / and inevitably find your own mental telepathy to catch a view of the future cuz it’ll only take a second to see / the century unfold before your very vision in beautiful colors animated with precision / in a way that only can exist inside of the mind / taste of the faith, give sight to the blind / cuz the high’ll be forever if you want it to / live it, love it, feel it in your molecules / but if you’re full of drama then it’s not for you / thus I found a common ground so baby I ain’t through with it yet / it’s serious as a death threat / coming through the speakers or the wires on your headset / and it’s the best yet, truly better than the rest get / but if you beg to differ then I tell you place your best bet / and we’ll see if you can feel me / cuz I’m guilty slanging the realer than real be / and still free because the product ain’t filthy / and I could never get enough of it / so fill me full of it / and find that feeling I been dealing whenever my minds in need / to fill the empty minutes when I wanna get a bit of creativity, I need to get a little Godspeed /
Chorus
Now every time I need a fix like ahh / it be giving me an arsenal, a full repertoire / so never could I be afflicted by lockjaw / cuz I’m full of pure adrenaline to keep me steady buzzing like a chainsaw / raw from here to Wichita to Arkansas / up to Ottawa then down to Panama to Nassau / feel it sticking in me like the claws in a cat’s paw / now I’m hella speeding like a fast ball / not an 8 ball / I tell you this though / it’s simple to replenish every time your stash gets low / but you gotta look into your mind and find a window / and break up out it like you was the Count of Monte Cristo / but miss no chance to grab / anything at the moment that you just have to have / the gusto, the passion, the action, the whole 9 adding for you like a game a baccarat / and as a matter of fact, this ain’t no gamble with your life / that can terrorize yourself away from finding paradise / so if you feel you’re paralyzed then call upon me, the smack man, I’m here to make sure that your vivid dream never dies / otherwise creativity’ll deplete to be weak / and stuck in a rut feeling the heat / which is a normal side effect if you’re full of conceit / but that’s a terminal disease I ain’t willing to keep—naw / thus I’m already over that and repping true skill plus everything that matters coming from a bleeding heart / the intimacy of artistry and camaraderie has always been a part of me and leaving it’s mark / so when do we start / well anytime you’re feeling the need / for a touch of the adrenaline rushing the new breed / then believe you me that we’ll all be able to comprehend of what is truly beneficial when we’re drunken on the Godspeed /
In contrast to Matt Embree's previous projects (which were more guitar-focused or lyrical), his collaboration with French songwriter Lisa Papineau is laid-back and groovy--a Sunday afternoon that constrasts the frenetic hustle and bustle of the last Rx Bandits record. Eric Davies
