Roth, Asher - Fast Life Lyrics






[Intro:]
Someone's always caught up in the...
Someone's always caught up in the fast life
Someone's always caught up in the fast life

[Hook - Asher Roth:]
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life
Fast life, someone's always caught up in the fast life

[Verse 1 - Asher Roth:]
Far too delicate, it's hard when a father is yelling and
Takes it out on her or the dog for the hell of it
Only thirteen when she started developing
By fifteen, attractin' older gentlemen
She let them in, mom wasn't looking, she might have been
Turned a blind eye found it better than fighting with
Her little girl caught in a sinister world
No sibling or a sister that could show her the pearls
So she turns to the night sky
Drinking to get by, pills above the sink that be helping her get high
All the while she's forgetting to ask why
Feeling like the only way of living is let die
Why goodbye is the hardest of speech
Go along for the ride at a startling speed
Through the rise and the fall and the balance in peaks
While the heart tries to find what it needs
Don't get caught up in the

[Hook - Asher Roth]

[Verse 2 - Vic Mensa:]
Ain't it hard, to get up out of your momma's basement
If I could buy my way to Heaven or a diamond bracelet
Can't help, but wonder if my time is wasted
If I'm waiting on a train instead of trying to race it
Too fast, my lady told me "Slow down baby
By the way I work for seven", she said she know I'm crazy, ayyy
How you gotta walk before you run
Gotta look before you leap but lose faith before you preach
And just think before you reaching for the handle of your gun
And you running from what you done to become what you never wanted to
Hunted you want to run, running from the sound of the sirens
Chicago no violence, Nobody could tell me
Come find me, I need an island, to hold my family
Take up ten rows of the Grammy seats
Granted we've known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
Look around

[Hook - Asher Roth (x2)]

    You're all a bunch of stoners.

  10. F.... ....

    this was awesome

  11. K.... L....

    I always watch this video and always wanted to do what Asher did. It's so refreshing to see a simple message with so much meaning to a person. Thanks for being positive and thanks for making the world a better place.

  12. L.... S....

    I always keep coming back to this song, just perfect

  13. S.... ....

  20. C.... ....

    This is pretty deep

  21. A.... G....

    I always come back to this song whenever I get really restless and feel like I havent really done something grand throughout the day/week. And getting older I realized how much people just keep to themselves, don't really express any form of emotion or expression unless they really know someone. Our lives go by day to day, and just, time flies man. Its always nice to catch a breath of air.

  22. S.... E....

    We are very lucky. Thanks Asher❤

  23. D.... R....

    Every now and then I like to watch this video to make myself smile

  24. J.... S....

    This was such a waste of my time, this was fucking trash. He just said fast life over and over and walked around sayin something that tried to be deep but just made him look like a dip shit hobo looking for a dollar for his next hit of pcp.

  25. S.... ....

    It a shame Asher didn't get enough attention. Millenials love beats they don't listen to lyrics. Goodluck asher

    B.... M....

    people just like "sorry I don't have any change"

  78. A.... B....

    asher, lupe, mac miller, j cole, different messages from all of them but i love their rapping style. originality is key kids!

    A.... B....

    Allen Boguslavsky couldnt agree more

  79. C.... B....

    T.... R....

    @James7796ify

  88. J.... P....

    Awesome video. Definitely inspired me

  89. m.... ....

    Asher roth is really underrated...Seriously underrated

  90. N.... ....

    Does anyone knows what slip on shoes/loafers Ash is wearing in the video ? Thank you :)

    N.... ....

    @NujuBIONICLE DEEZ NUTS!!!!! Lol but on a serious note, no I do not. Have a good day my friend.

  91. R.... W....

    I'm obsessed with this man's voice

  92. D.... ....

    Seriously? People still fall for this saccharine faux feel good bullshit? Generic pretentious positivity bullshit paired to an equally generic repetitive throwaway track. Real inspiring. No wonder this dude fell the fuck off. With any luck, Yelawolf will try to pull the same bullshit and be next.

    D.... ....

    @OtherM112594 You're just a negative person, and Asher still pulls in more money then you ever will haha

    D.... ....

    @TheOfficialPuSh Yes Roth is better than me because he makes more money than  me. Vapid shitheads like you are the type to fall for this pretentious feel good bullshit hook line and sinker. If it weren't for the idiots of the world, "artists" like Roth would be shooting heroin in an abandoned basement whispering to himself "I am very lucky" over and over again until the high wears off and he gets the shits. 

  93. J.... S....

    Not sure why this don't have over a million views
    we are very lucky
    @Asher Roth I named my son Asher

    J.... S....

    +Hajime Noippo please elaborate haha.

    J.... S....

    +Lawrence “Juice” Pearman its garbage

    J.... S....

    +Adam Paquin its garbage plain and simple

    J.... S....

    why you fools come here just to diss him FOH

    J.... S....

    +Angel Perez haha you are still on this video, and it's garbage? hmmmmm

  94. s.... ....

    Yeah, so most of us are very lucky.... but that homeless guy at 1:35 prolly wasn't feeling too lucky...
