[SPEED「Street Life」歌詞]

物憂げな Days
なりゆきの Pain
帰るアテなく
街の風に吹かれてる

本当のアタシなんて
まだ
自分にさえ
見せたことない

あんなに抱き合ってた
恋も友達も移りゆく

いつもひとりには絶対
きっとずっと
なりたくなかっただけ

My Street Life
大事な夢
いつしか人混みに
まぎれてく

あぁ今こそ誇れる
自分になっていきたい

わかりかけてきた
ため息のわけと
この街のフェイク

生き急いでいた
知らぬまに
流され続けてた

心わけ合えられずに
まじわるだけの人もいた

手遅れになる前に
自分の人生
始める時がきたみたいね

Do you wanna
Getta Real Life
I'll getta Real Love
動き出した鼓動

Do you wanna
Getta Real Dream
I'll get Real Friends
あふれだす欲望

I'm gonna
Getta Real Life
I'll getta Real Love
自分らしく生きていこう

I'm gonna
Getta Real Dream
I'll get Real Friends
今こそやる時だね

Good Times, Bad Times
こんな時代でも
必ず終わりはくるから

自分の力で
歩き出さなくちゃ
何かを学んで…

Maybe いつか
リトルワールドの
殻を破って

果てしない明日へ
旅立っていこう
覚悟はできたよ

Do you wanna
Getta Real Life
I'll getta Real Love
高まっていく鼓動

Do you wanna
Getta Real Dream
I'll get Real Friends
あふれだす情熱

I'm gonna
Getta Real Lifе
I'll getta Real Love
自分らしく生きていこう

I'm gonna
Gеtta Real Dream
I'll get Real Friends
今こそやる時だね

I'm gonna Own My Way
I'll Own My Life
ずっとこの街で生きてく

I'm gonna Own My Way
I'll Own My Life
強くなっていくよ

I'm gonna
Getta Real Life
I'll getta Real Love
力がみなぎってきた

I'm gonna
Getta Real Dream
I'll get Real Friends
今こそ変わる時だね

Here comes The Sun
Here comes a Chance

Here comes My Dreams
Here comes The Truth

Here comes Real Love
Here comes Your Smile

Here comes
Real Friends
Here comes Real Life

Here comes
The Morning
Here comes The Start

Here comes a Change
Here comes The Force

Here comes The Peace
Here comes
The Fortune

Here comes Your Love
Here comes New Life

My Street Life

SPEED is a four piece Japanese girl group consisting of Hiroko Shimabukuro (島袋寛子), Eriko Imai (今井絵理子), Takako Uehara (上原多香子), and Hitoe Arakaki (新垣仁絵) with the single “Body & Soul” in 1996 with the main vocalists being Hiroko and Eriko; the youngest members at the time were only 13 years of age.

The group would go on to win the Japan Gold Disc Awards such as New Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. However, by 2000, the group decided to disband, much to the dismay of loyal fans, but did get together numerous times – twice to release music, and many other times for charity. During their disbandment, the members embarked on solo careers, most notably Hiroko.

On August 20, 2008, the group announced that they would be reuniting permanently, and made their major comeback on November 12, 2008, with the single “あしたの空”, which translates roughly as “Tomorrow’s Sky”.
