[Intro] |
|
Someone's always caught up in the... |
|
Someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
Someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
[Hook: Asher Roth] |
|
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life |
|
[Verse 1: Asher Roth] |
|
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 |
|

[Verse 2: Vic Mensa] |
|
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 |
