Fast Life

[Intro: Cody Manson]
Yeah! So you want to be famous huh?
Haha

[Chorus: Cody Manson]
You want to live that fast life of fortune and fame?
You want to rock the shows, you want the hoes to know your name
You want the cars and the clothes and never worry about a thing
But you ain't got what it takes to step a foot in this game
So that fast life will one day end
You won't know who to trust cuz you ain't got no real friends
And you ain't got no respect cuz all you did was pretend
So now you find yourself right back where you began

[Verse 1: Cody Manson]
Nowadays everybody may be starving to make it
They want to reach the top spot on the radio playlist
And be famous and maybe one day even labeled the greatest
But that ain't ever gonna happen cuz they all spitting the same shit
Just listen they be faking spitting, fictitious
It's a dog eat dog world so you gotta be vicious
It's every man for himself, survival of the fittest
Survival of the realest, I be riding with gorillas
But it's all about perception so they hide behind their gimmick
It's all about the image, gotta do it for the bitches
Gotta do it for the gram, keep up on the latest fashion
But you don't understand, you sold your soul on a napkin
Spent so much time trying to be somebody else
But then you wonder why you don't really know yourself
I think it's time that you looked in the mirror
Face your inner fears and get more familiar

[Chorus: Cody Manson]
You want to live that fast life of fortune and fame?
You want to rock the shows, you want the hoes to know your name
You want the cars and the clothes and never worry about a thing
But you ain't got what it takes to step a foot in this game
So that fast life will one day end
You won't know who to trust cuz you ain't got no real friends
And you ain't got no respect cuz all you did was pretend
So now you find yourself right back where you began

[Verse 2: Cody Manson]
Why'd you even start rapping? What you trying to make a name for?
Twenty thousand followers but most of 'em was paid for
A snake or a leech, don't know which one I hate more
You fucking posers wearing Vans and you can't even skateboard
The game's so watered down you could take a bath in it
So you can take that contract and wipe yo ass with it
Spit it from the heart because I'm passionate
Pissing on the game like a catheter, underground like where a casket is
But the fact of the matter is this: you're worshipping a principle that don't even exist
You fucking puppies don't know who the master is
But now I'm back from the dead like I'm Lazarus
So tell me the truth, who the fuck you think you really are?
You think them tattoos on your face really make you hard?
So you want to be a rap superstar?
Well get ready to burn when that gas hits the fire

[Chorus: Cody Manson]
You want to live that fast life of fortune and fame?
You want to rock the shows, you want the hoes to know your name
You want the cars and the clothes and never worry about a thing
But you ain't got what it takes to step a foot in this game
So that fast life will one day end
You won't know who to trust cuz you ain't got no real friends
And you ain't got no respect cuz all you did was pretend
So now you find yourself right back where you began

[Verse 3: Cody Manson]
It seems like they'll do anything for those fifteen minutes
Anything for some attention and a couple bitches
You cannot make 'em drink the water and you cannot rape the willing
You cannot sell your soul, but then ask for forgiveness
Cuz when the smoke clears and it's all said and done
You signed your name in blood but it says redrum
Then you go to bed, that's when the dread comes
It's time to face those inner demons that you fled from
Try to meditate, elevate up to outer space
Try to find some peace of mind when you feeling out of place
You're running out of time and you ain't got no time to waste
Judgment Day, dancing with the devil at the Heaven's Gates
You're at a crossroads, it's time to make a choice
You fighting with your conscience, it's time to pick a voice
It's different when you've seen both sides of the curtain
So when it closes you can ask yourself if it was worth it

[Chorus: Cody Manson]
You want to live that fast life of fortune and fame?
You want to rock the shows, you want the hoes to know your name
You want the cars and the clothes and never worry about a thing
But you ain't got what it takes to step a foot in this game
So that fast life will one day end
You won't know who to trust cuz you ain't got no real friends
And you ain't got no respect cuz all you did was pretend
So now you find yourself right back where you began
