Fast Lane

Don't mean it's easy True, I make it look easy I'm in the fast lane (skrr) Living like a car chase Hope it ain't my last race If it is, then boy, they're coming last place (nah) Still got some people I'm watching over So really it's never over Just needed the reminder (that right) Looking for the money, still I'm never satisfied when I find her (no) Weed in the grinder, light the thirteenth spliff And the thirteen-year-old me knew it would be like this For real Parents are immigrants so England don't want shit from me They just party all the time but that's not lit to me A icy chain, ring, and watch ain't even lit to me I'm old school like Iceberg History See, when my dad left school, he couldn't read or write He can't believe he had a son that can read and write They all rate my pen game but I don't even write I told 8, "Punch me in" but I don't even fight I got this knife even though I don't believe it's right The paramedics turning up tryna retrieve his life I brandish my 9 live if I don't feel a vibe But I'm on guard 'cause I can tell that you're the sneaky type Mi mudda always tell me, "Son, you affi watch your friends" We got the snakes out the grass, the last are here to the end I was sixteen the first time, I copped a Benz That's benzocaine for the 'caine that I shot on the ends I'm a loner but I've always had some popular friends The scope on the fifteen's like a binocular lens Brodie with the Star-9, he looking out for me Darg, is that a snap or a telescope?
