Higher VelocityAmp It Up

[Intro] "If you have ever worked in or with government, you have seen extreme examples of this." [Verse 1] You see the cycle time is lethargic, they treat the work like a carcass, another day in the office, just swimming around with the starfish. I told my people the process ain't somethin' that we can just stomach, we gotta become the comet that shatters their placid summit. The urgency is a concept they view with a deep suspicion, a different vision, they movin' slow with a poised position. I said, 'The point you're missin'/ is the joint that you're dissin'/ is the future,' now listen. This ain't a minor infraction, this a system condition. This is not 'bout being frantic, this about a different mechanic, a mindset so panoramic you never panic when pressure's applied. You just find a way inside, break it open, then let it ride. [Pre-Chorus] They start to do things differently, they feel a brand new way, they stop thinkin' 'bout a week from now and only see today. This ain't just doin' things faster, man, this ain't a simple trick... This is that get-it-done culture where the mindset finally clicks. [Chorus] Hiiiigher Velo-city! Got the grace of God on a killin' spree! [Yeah! Let's go!] Hiiiigher Velo-city! Oh, you thought we was sleepin', now you finally see! [Verse 2] The tempo dictates the tactic, the cadence becomes prolific, they move like a single current, the energy's so specific. We gotta indoctrinate the rookies when they walk in the buildin', we give 'em the shock they needin', a sermon for all the children who grew up inside a system that rewarded being patient, I tell 'em that patience is just another word for complacent. From "how 'bout next week?" to "what about tomorrow mornin'?" The standard is a different planet that they just got born in. And now they get it, now they with it, the culture sorts 'em out, the ones who couldn't handle the intensity will start to pout. And that's a good thing, a pure thing, a necessary pain, to separate the passengers from pilots in the rain. [Bridge] The pace has to be profound. Breathtaking. Order-of-magnitude. You want to go twenty percent faster? That's barely a new latitude. I need a change that alters everything they thought they knew... 'Cause you don't really know what's possible until you finally break through. [Chorus] Hiiiigher Velo-city! Got the grace of God on a killin' spree! [Yes Lord! See me now!] Hiiiigher Velo-city! Oh, you thought we was sleepin', now you finally see!
