We Ain't Really Living

Too much strain from all this pain, I wanna go but don't nobody know my name Sick of living in this material world, Times done changed the grind is getting critical Everybody wanna ball, (they want it all) Be the boss with nice cars & floss just like stars Just give me everything you claim to be, You wanna relieve in this pain you should hang with me These blues I bet you wouldn't want to sing with me I'm in the fast lane switching living dangerously Anxiously, trying to flipin' get a grip on my mind, No more strippin' no more slippin' my God No matter what I try to fight for my life & even if I die I, I got by at least I made it in this cold cold world I'd rather be a corpse than be warped in your world Everybody wanna cruise(?) in the fast lane Diamonds and their dreams and their champagne They gonna sell them out their soul just to have fame 'Cause in the end it ain't gonna mean a damn thing ('Cause this ain't really living no we ain't really living) x4 2 (keef G) Peeping out my window on my soul I feel People taking it far for this money to kill Scrambling for position watch us turn to shade We was better to each other when they had us in chains See we done got a couple dollars and done lost our minds All these crabs in the barrel, everybody wanna shine Outdoing each other claiming keeping it real, Why you so fresh to death with your big ass wheels Hustle for the paper is what we showing the kids At the crib watching cribs got you hating where you live Life in the fast lane you're popping your champagne, A fool & his money now that's a terrible sight man When will we learn to get back to how it was Look at us niggas standing around with a phantom at the club Hoping they see us so the ladies could show you love She ain't tripping of your car you can't bring it in the club nigga Everybody wanna cruise(?) in the fast lane Diamonds and their dreams and their champagne They gonna sell them out their soul just to have fame 'Cause in the end it ain't gonna mean a damn thing ('Cause this ain't really living no we ain't really living) x4 (Talking) Rich man, there will be a time when your money won't spend There will be a time when your flashy clothes and cars come to an end So I varely say unto you, what shall a profitable man if a man Is to gain the entire world and lose his own soul Everybody wanna cruise(?) in the fast lane Diamonds and their dreams and their champagne They gonna sell them out their soul just to have fame 'Cause in the end it ain't gonna mean a damn thing ('Cause this ain't really living no we ain't really living) x4
