Lyrics
It ain't happenen' fast
Words and Music by Steven (Sonney) Carter
Darlin' it's crazy or maybe I'm lazy, but if it ain't happen' fast,
it ain't happenen' at all....
Taking a long time and getting no where,
singing in the bar clubs with braids in my hair
smell of beer and lack of cheer as smoke fills the air
Darlin' it's crazy or maybe I'm lazy, but if it ain't happen' fast,
it ain't happenen' at all....
Steppin' from a stage in Southern LA...
Spot lights shining, my minds in a daze
people seem be shovin' me on my way...
Darlin' it's crazy or maybe I'm lazy, but if it ain't happen' fast,
it ain't happenen' at all....
(Instrumental)
Darlin' it's crazy and maybe I'm lazy
but if it ain't happenen' fast it ain't happenen at all..
Getting on a custom bus cushioned with air,
Tailored made three piece suits and waves in my hair..
sixty more show dates I have to be there...
Darlin' it's crazy and maybe I'm lazy
but if it ain't happenen' fast it ain't happenen at all..
(Repeat second verse)
Darlin' it's crazy and maybe I'm lazy
but if it ain't happenen' fast it ain't happenen at all..(2-3x and fade...or 'splash')
