Live Fast Die Young
Kanye West Lyrics

And I wanna show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight
I want to highlight your beauty and make you feel like shining stars tonight

You've got the feeling
You possess the energy and enthusiasm

Oh you sounding good
You are sounding great

I've got the sign
I have the indication or assurance

They say we can't be livin' like this for the rest of our lives
Society believes we cannot continue living this way indefinitely

What, we gon' be livin' like this for the rest of tonight
But tonight, we will continue living this way

And you know they gon' be bangin' this shit for rest of our lives
And you know they will continue playing this song for the remainder of our lives

So live fast and die young, (live fast)
Therefore, let's live a fast-paced, intense life and die young

Live fast and die young, (die young)
Let's embrace a lifestyle of living fast and dying young

Live fast and die young (live fast)
We should continue living fast without fear of the consequences

(die young)
Even if it means our lives are cut short

Livin' fast now it's all linen rags (Uh)
Living recklessly without concern, now reduced to mere fabric rags

Hard headed but my top peelin' back
Being stubborn, but willing to expose my vulnerabilities

Tinted glass on my '57, nigga wit' a attitude (Me)
Driving a '57 car with tinted windows, displaying a rebellious attitude

Young and radical, methods are mathematical (Ha)
Youthful and unconventional, employing logical methods to achieve goals

Let my convertible marinade on the avenue
Allowing my convertible to soak in the atmosphere of the street

Mommy that's half a million, I'm livin' la vida happy though
Baby, that costs half a million dollars, but I'm happily living the high life

Die young but fuck it, we flew first class
We may not live long, but we enjoy the luxuries of flying first class

Turned you to a rich bitch buy you first class
I upgraded your lifestyle, transforming you into an affluent woman who can afford first-class flights

Up in this bitch and we lit up like a screen
We are here, partying and shining like a lit-up movie screen

Every time we hit the charts niggas shoot up like a 'feign (Unn)
Whenever our songs reach the top of the charts, people react with excitement and addiction-like behavior

Stuntin' like we printin' money wit' machines
Showing off our extravagant lifestyle as if we have a machine that prints money

Which you see me wavin' Visorone Constantine (Uh)
You can witness me flaunting expensive and luxurious jewelry, such as Visorone Constantine watches

Like Mike my spikes they all white
Similar to Michael Jordan's shoes, my shoes have white spikes

Twenty fo' carat gold, baby carats worth of ice
I possess 24-carat gold and an abundance of expensive diamonds

Ice insured, fuck life insurance
I have insurance for my expensive jewelry but disregard the need for life insurance

I live for the moment and put a bullet on it (Boss)
I embrace living in the present and make the most out of each moment

Got the club rockin' like a fuckin' boat
We have the nightclub lively and energetic, resembling a rocking boat

I'm the pirate on this ship, all you mates got to go
I am the dominant figure on this ship, and everyone else must leave

The party over here, everybody over here
The party is happening at this location, and everyone should gather here

You know the word travel fast, everybody know we here (Yeah)
The news spreads quickly, and everyone is aware of our presence

Bottles over here, even spread it over there
There are bottles of drinks here, and we are distributing them to various places

All the models over here but they swallow everywhere (Yeah)
All the attractive women are gathered here, but they are willing to engage in intimate activities anywhere

She came to party like it's 19-99
She arrived at the party with a vibrant and energetic mindset, as if it were 1999

If she died on my dick
Even if she were to die while engaging in sexual activities with me

She would live through my rhymes
Her memory would live on through the songs I create

For all my young ladies that's drivin' Miss Daisy
This is for all the young women who are confident and in control

Drivin' me crazy, rock the beat baby!
You are driving me crazy, but in a good way. Keep rocking the beat!

Hop up out the 'eer, she beat up the payment
As she exits the vehicle, she steps energetically and confidently

I don't give a 'eer, baby he crazy
I don't care about anyone else's opinion, baby, he is crazy

I'm back by unpopular demand
I have returned, despite not being highly sought after or popularly requested

Least he still poppin' in Japan
At least I am still popular and relevant in Japan

Shoppin' in Milan, hoppin' out the van
Engaging in shopping sprees in Milan and confidently exiting the van

Screams from the fans
Receiving enthusiastic screams and cheers from the fans

"Yeezy, always knew you'd be on top again"
"Yeezy, we always anticipated that you would regain your position at the top"

And we 'bout to hit Jacob the jeweler
We are about to visit Jacob the jeweler for some high-end jewelry

So I could be like Slick Rick and rule ya
I desire to emulate Slick Rick's style and dominate

Dr. Martin Louis the King Jr.
Referring to himself as a combination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and fashion designer Louis Vuitton

And I'm a never let the dream turn to Kruegers
I will never allow my dream to turn into nightmares, like Freddy Krueger

My outfit's so disrespectful
My attire is so extravagant and audacious

You could gon' ahead and sneeze 'cause my presence blessed you
You can sneeze in awe because my presence has bestowed blessings upon you

I mean, we walked in this bitch so stylish
We entered this place with confident and fashionable style

Niggas done mistook me for my stylist
People have mistakenly assumed that I am my own fashion stylist

And I know it's superficial and ya say it's just clothes
I acknowledge that it may seem superficial and that you may consider it merely about clothing

But we shoppin' in that motherfucker and they just closed
But we are shopping in that establishment, even after it has closed for the day

So go ahead and just pose
Therefore, go ahead and strike a pose

When she walked up out the dressin' room
As she emerged from the dressing room

The store just froze
The entire store came to a standstill

And I know, they trying to get their cool back
I am aware that they are attempting to regain their composure

And them ghetto bitches hollin' "How you do that?"
And those girls from the ghetto exclaiming, "How did you achieve that?"

So they could never say we never lived it
So they can never claim that we never experienced this lifestyle

And if I see Biggie tonight I loved every minute
If I were to encounter Biggie Smalls tonight, I would cherish every moment

Peter piper pickin' peppers, Rick pitched poems
Making a reference to the nursery rhyme "Peter Piper" but replacing it with Rick Ross, who delivers poetic lyrics

My leather long enough to keep a thick bitch warm
My leather clothing is so extensive that it could keep a voluptuous woman warm

When her ass is enormous
Especially if she has a large buttocks

Abs abnormal and tans in the morning on sands in California
Possessing extraordinary abdominal muscles and sunbathing on the sandy beaches of California in the morning

Seems like we gettin' money for the wrong things
It appears that we are accumulating wealth for the wrong reasons

Look around Maserati's for the whole team
We have Maserati cars for the entire team to enjoy

Look at Haiti, children dyin' 'round the clock nigga
Consider the plight of Haiti, where children are dying continuously

I sent a hundred grand but that's a decent watch nigga
I donated $100,000, but that amount is equivalent to an average-quality watch

I'm gettin' better 'cause it would've leased the drop nigga
I am improving because owning a luxury car, such as a Maserati, is better than merely leasing it

I'm a get my money right just watch nigga
I will improve my financial situation, just wait and see

She had a miscarriage I couldn't cry though
She experienced a miscarriage, but I was unable to express sadness

'Cause you and I know she was only my side hoe
Because both of us know that she was merely my extramarital affair

(Un) I got 'em catchin' amnesia
I have them experiencing temporary memory loss

Time to pull my fuckin' minks out the freezer
It is time to retrieve my expensive mink fur coats from the freezer

See the links and you just think Jesus
When you see my diamond chains, you are in awe, as if you are witnessing a religious figure

I'm hot till a day a day freezes
I am immensely successful until the day the world stops turning

Young and radical, methods are mathematical
I am young and rebellious, employing calculated methods to achieve success

I multiplied my money through different avenues
I increased my wealth by exploring diverse and lucrative opportunities

Took many to awards
I accompanied many individuals to award shows

Shook never before and for my mother I applaud
I remained composed and confident, and I praise my mother for her support

Ms. Afeni Shakur
A tribute to Afeni Shakur, the mother of late rapper Tupac Shakur

Ice insured, fuck life insurance
My jewelry is insured, but I disregard the need for life insurance

Three bad bitches, dope come concurrent
I have three attractive women, and we engage in drug use simultaneously

Still, you know the dope won't stop
Nevertheless, you are aware that drug use will not come to an end

If I die today bury me in a dope ass watch
If I were to die, please bury me with an exquisite and luxurious watch

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Repeating the word "hey" as an expression of excitement or enthusiasm
