Fast Life

Someone's always caught up in the Someone's always caught up in the fast life Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life Far too delicate, it's hard when a father is yelling and Takes it out on her or the dog for the hell of it Only thirteen when she started developing By fifteen, attractin' the older gentlemen She let them in, mom wasn't looking, she might have been Turned a blind eye found it better than fighting with Her little girl caught in a sinister world No sibling or a sister that could show her the pearls So she turns to the night sky Drinking to get by, pills above the sink that be helping her get high All the while she's forgetting to ask why Feeling like the only way of living is let die Why goodbye is the hardest of speech Go along for the ride at a startling speed Through the rise and the fall and the valleys and peaks While the heart tries to find what it needs Don't get caught up in the Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life Ain't it hard, to get up out of your momma's basement If I could buy my way to Heaven or a diamond bracelet Can't help, but wonder if my time is wasted If I'm waiting on a train instead of trying to race it Too fast, my lady told me "Slow down baby By the way I work for seven", she said she know I'm crazy, ay How you gotta walk before you run Gotta look before you leap but lose faith before you preach And just think before you reaching for the handle of your gun And you running from what you done to become what you never wanted to Hunted you want to run, running from the sound of the sirens Chicago no violence, nobody could tell me Come find me, I need an island, to hold my family Take up ten rows of the Grammy seats Granted we've known each other for some time It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine Look around Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life --- Fast Life - Asher Roth and Vic Mensa
