Before You Take That Leap

Fast Living

Views (301) Lyric Created on 6-22-07 Flag
  • Working 3rd shift
  • Rak’n in that minimum wage
  •  
  • Such redundance in abundance
  • Fast asleep through the days
  •  
  • Can’t afford a television
  • Missing out on my life
  •  
  • Didn’t know ‘bout 9-11
  • ‘Til the next morning’s light
  •  
  • Had to get up
  • Find a way to make a little more
  •  
  • With a set of keys
  • I could bring a pizza to your door
  •  
  • So I did
  • And I fell into a whole new crowd
  •  
  • Trash talk’n, fist fight’n
  • Gett’n real damn loud
  •  
  • Only 19
  • Spending every night at the bar
  •  
  • Pop an un-prescribed pill
  • Before I hop in my car
  •  
  • Fishtail, sparks fly
  • Dipp’n down Washington
  •  
  • Digi-dash burned out
  • About eleventyone
  •  
  • Hav’n a lil’ too much fun
  • But I’ve got an opportunity
  •  
  • There’s a dude that does tattoos and cocaine
  • That wants to tutor me
  •  
  • We started hanging out
  • He put a tatt on my wrist
  •  
  • Peer pressure so convincing
  • And I had my 1st hit
  •  
  • Of the white
  • It was like finding a whole new life
  •  
  • Heightened imagination
  • No need for sleep every night
  •  
  • You’d be amazed at how the world of coc
  • Will open your eyes
  •  
  • Not just the feeling
  • But the people, you’d be pretty surprised
  •  
  • Drug dealers, car thieves
  • The folks you figured would do it
  •  
  • Co-workers, close friends man
  • Who would a knew it
  •  
  • 8-ball, cut it up
  • Roll me up a bill
  •  
  • Feel’n pretty zooted
  • But they must have cut it with some fill
  •  
  • Need a steady supply
  • Want to stay higher than a rocket
  •  
  • So I start to buy in bulk
  • And sell small portions out for profit
  •  
  • Man I hate to say it
  • But this life is pretty pimp
  •  
  • This shy crushed rebel
  • Is here getting confident
  •  
  • Busta owes me, break his nose
  • Right in front of his girl
  •  
  • Stick the stash up my ass
  • Incase those bad lights twirl
  •  
  • Started to experiment
  • I even snorted heroin
  •  
  • Synthetic acid, medications
  • Passed out on Kalonopin
  •  
  • Lack of sleep I’m losing weight
  • My eyes begin to sink
  •  
  • A couple people made some comments
  • And it’s making me think
  •  
  • Fast liv’n, good times
  • Money left for you to spend it
  •  
  • Even with all of my pleasantries
  • I wouldn’t recommend it
  •  
  • Saw a lot of people
  • Killing themselves out on the block
  •  
  • In search of any high
  • They would give anything they got
  •  
  • Yeah I’ve had a lot of fun
  • Felt good and made a friend or two
  •  
  • But like I said before
  • It’s not a life I’d recommend to you
