Hey livin in the fast lane Drivin fast 'broads' With them fast 'chains' When you pimpin through life See some people get caught up And some charges brought up With some people they shoot up Hey there it goes again Different face to the same old tragic end Who's to blame if he never saw it commin Yet he heard the bullet hummin And he never though of runnin It's too late for him now layin out on the ground so cold so cold Nothin much to live up to damn It's so far gone so gone Livin in the fast lane Drivin fast broads With you fast chains When you pimpin through life See some people got caught up With some charges brought up From some people they shoot up Hey tell me when will it end When the baby pays for its mothers sinnin Trapped inside the four walls of a 'penty' Way too strong way too strong Now she's out in the cold, dying slow and the spoon still warm It started when they birthed me Runnin round stuck in the project now he can't wait to the first come Little older now and can't wait till the dope come Sleep all these years and nobody awoke him Getting it so he can cover the whole border Question is how many of us can hold water It seemed like tellin is in Signed states get an order of protection and tell him again I'm a left lane My life is much faster than yours I'm with a chick and its attached to a brawl Got the air ones matchin the car All white slingin all night So we rapidly spar That's what they wanna clap at me for Understand that the flow is like the coke that he naturally grows So I'ma get my cash on, and my mash on And get my ass up out of the fast lane Livin in the fast lane Drivin fast broads With you fast chains When you pimpin through life Got caught up And some charges brought up From some people you shoot up
