[Bilal] Hey, living in the fast lane Driving fast 'broads' With them fast 'chains' When you pimping 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 coming Yet he heard the bullet humming And he never though of running It's too late for him now laying out on the ground so cold, so cold Nothing much to live up to, damn It's so far gone, so gone Living in the fast lane Driving fast broads With you fast chains When you pimping 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 sinning 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 [Jadakiss] It started when they birthed me Running 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 telling 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 matching the car All white, slinging all night So we rapidly spar That's what they want to 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 [Bilal] Living in the fast lane Driving fast broads With you fast chains When you pimping through life Got caught up And some charges brought up From some people you shoot up
