Fast Car Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
That sound
Good
Like that

I'll take the bill when you ready

No I don't have any change right now
I was just gonna use my card if that was ok with you

Ok

[Verse 1]
It was plain as day
I'm thinking all i need is a change of pace
I'm thinking should I leave to the east coast
The west side, Africa, stay state-side?
Pack it up or stack my chips at the crib
Everybody on standby
Just waiting for me to figure it out for myself
Why my expectations so damn high
I can't leave unless it's official though
Got some folks that would miss me though
And my nigga just hit me saying he about to have a shorty, 'Twan please pray for me
I don't know what I did but this rain pouring on me
So I told him be strong and don't doubt yourself
You got your health
And being afraid is really not going to help
You're not yourself
Tighten your belt, when the lights get bright some types might melt
But we get past it, 3D glasses can't see into another man's spirit
These girls ain't got no clothes on
Smile for the camera and get your pose on
If we both bone, we should go home
Both supposed to have been working late
But we lurking late
Nah, not time for the percolator, but them legs shaking
Sometimes I just want to get away and escape
[Hook]
Yeah, and I bet you I'll be Audi like a fast car
And you better watch out for them girls
That's trying to drink for free up at the cash bar
And we keep a lot of dough up in our clothes
And just in case you ever wonder
We do it like this every summer
Hold your own don't let em take it from you, no

[Verse 2]
Just got off the phone with Los and he told me that the world was mine
Man you got it, these niggas is not it little brother and you got that grind
You clocking time young, and they all saying that they poppin 9s and coppin shine
Oppenheimer blowing up just like a bomb
Enjoy it all while you got it, and do the max while you still can
Get it in while you still young man what the fuck was the plan damn
I forgot it somewhere in between a nice looking pair of legs
And we spend more just to earn more just to burn more
To get money by the day, they just gon get it back tomorrow
And all my homies always got that fitted cap to borrow
As long as I'm in business Eric Parish making dollars
And I'm making witnesses, I did a U so come and follow, yo
Man it's obvious I'm probably just another dice
Rolling tumbling on the streets in the game of life
I hit my point and roll again, I'm trying to hit it twice
I throw them bones and let em roll until I get it right
[Hook]
Yeah, and I bet you I'll be out here like a fast car
And you better watch out for them girls
They's trying to drink for free up at the cash bar
And we keep a lot of dough up in our clothes
And just in case you ever wonder
We do it like this every summer
Hold your own don't let em take it from you, no
