Liphe - Fast Life
(from the album The Eternal Passion)

Hook:
Whoa now, running with no where to go down/
Life moving too fast I wish it would slow down/
Whoa now it’s either up or go down/
Life moving too fast I wish it would slow down

Verse 1:
Travel through my dreams like I sleepwalk awake/
I’m on a bake hustle on the grind and make that cake/
Show love to every chick that experienced rape/
To every man that held tears in jail ready to break/
We’ve been forced to hold something we ain’t ready to take/
Saw a better life but that frame was ready to break/
Move with stakes to gain, try to replace the pain/
It’s the same problems even when the days ain’t change/
Niggas run train, girls try to make change/
Instead we use shame and place hate to blame/
Drug dealers push clips and move with a top down/
Pour liquor for brothers that’s not around/
Said peace to our fam that’s held and locked down/
These brothers fighting waking up another night/
I’m up with cold sweats this can’t be right/
I’m asking Jesus Christ like this can’t be life.

Hook:

Verse 2:
Another single mother she be putting in work/
But her baby daddy’s a jerk that loves to flirt/
He’s out smoking and drinking, he be doing his dirt/
Times get hard, yeah she begins to kerk/
‘Cause deep down her heart is broke man, she so hurt/
Your man’s slipping and dipping and he’s cheating for sex/
While your heart’s racing and dying and screaming eject/
You’re a victim of life crying and dreaming for death/
Once thought life was good now the meaning is less/
One word to describe this is defeated at best/
I try to forget and sleep, I’m only sleeping in stress/
Life is moving too fast, it’s never seem to move slow/
Never seen the chance and time for a flower to grow/
Seen many tears blow kids with nowhere to go/
Brother’s locked up awaiting death row/
The church family lost God in a spirit of gold.
