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' 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, ayyy

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
