Curtis Mayfield
Two Miles an Hour
[Intro]
Yeah
We gon' send this one out
To everybody that put more into they cars than they do they relationship
Let's ride

[Chorus]
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll

[Verse 1]
Yes, seven cars, eight cribs and ain't a damn thing changed
I'm still pumpin' ten kickers, still grippin' the grain
Still candy in the paint, still ridin' them things
And most my folks would say I'm happy, but I still feel pain
Until I jump in my ride, that's my only escape
Me and my automobiles got these neighbors screaming, "Give me a break"
It's a pity how we turn our city into obstacle courses
Don't be mad 'cause I can't hold my five hundred horses
Lamborghinis and Porsches, Ferraris and Vipers
I'ma wipe the seats with your drool, then rub the hood with a diaper
Television on the gas tank, the fuel make the ass stink
I mean to be rude, my bass tubes are in a glass tank
Go strap your seatbelts on, go put your money up
Go put your life on the line, go put your honey up
Go spread the word, run and tell all the boys
It's time to play, or better yet, it's time to bring out them toys
We going
[Chorus]
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll

[Refrain]
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)

[Verse 2]
Yo, one of my ways of releasin' tension while I'm releasin' some steam
Even if I just put a fresh coat of wax on, I'm makin' sure the slippers is clean
The twenty-sixes is mean, shut down the block, you could picture the fiends
My system supreme, you could feel the knock, just picture the scene
The chickens just scream, whole crew ballin', they sick of my team
We gettin' the cream, I'm through hollerin', I'm livin' my dream
I'm Black with a scheme, won't stop until that fat lady sings
And, yeah, it's actual and factual what my faculty brings
A car show for wherever we slide and wherever we glide
You can keep your rules and regulations, man, 'cause we don't abide
And we lookin alive, Mercedes Benz, six or the five
In a Beamer, Lexus, or Ac', we don't know how to act when we drive
And I fiend for the ride, I lay back and lean to the side
Onlookers and turnin' heads is all that's seen through his eyes
I'm breezin' on by, and no doubt, it's easy to fly
But it's even better when you slow down or ease to the side
And go
[Chorus]
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll

[Verse 3]
I'm ridin' up in GTOs and 442s
Grand Prixs, SS's 'cause we so, so cool
Ridin' Regals or the 'Lacs, we in Chevelles and Verts
Skylarks, motorcycles, ATVs with the works
Malibus and Camaros, T-Birds and Novas
Escalades, Navigators, Expeditions and Rovers
H2s and Denalis, pickup trucks with the beams
Crown Vics, Monte Carlos, even Cutlass Supremes
Are going

[Chorus]
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
It's get out, put my pedal to the floor, and let's roll
[Refrain]
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
Assign your name in the street (Sign your name in the street)
