[Chorus]
C G Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
G C
Praying we'll find out just who we are
G Am
We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
G C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
G Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
G C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
G Am
The demons in my head all dance around
G
I'm facing this bottle, and praying they drown
[Verse 1]
C
Bitch I've been the king of this castle
I've built it from the gravel
G
Been slaving every day with no shackles
Am
I'd figure that I'd tackle the working on the battles
G
Associated with this life, I'm everything but fragile
C
I heard they wanna come for me
G
Well, that's company, homie that's luxury
People wanna fuck with me,
Am G
Luckily I got me a foundation and a location
C
Good for when it gets ugly, yeah, don't tell me to slow my role
G
Homie give that shit a rest and put that shit on parole
Am
I'd give my heart and my soul until I'm reaching the goal
G
Of having everything I wanted, so I'm building 'em all
C
I'm isolated alone, I'm working up till it's late
G
See I've been battling with destiny and wrestling fate
Am
They always try to get the best of me, they're testing my pace
G
But I can run how much I want, but I'ma never escape
C
And so I learned to embrace, all of the pain to be great
G
And then you learn to erase all of the things in the way
Am
And then you learn to replace all of the things in the gape
G
That left you empty wanting more and then it’s finally straight
C
And now I’m finding the strength, to try and shepherd the cattle
G Am
Who's stuck in a capsule living life in their shackles, tryna get through the day
G
They tryna get through these battles and never let them into their castles, so
[Chorus]
C G Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
G C
Praying we'll find out just who we are
G Am
We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
G C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
G Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
G C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
G Am
The demons in my head all dance around
G
I'm facing this bottle, and praying they drown
[Verse 2]
C
I need everyone wake up, ya'll building your own funeral
G
Sitting inside a cubicle wishing your life is beautiful
Am
It's inexcusable, if your happiness isn’t mutual
G
With everything you're doing, your living is so unsuitable
C
And all of its removable, people think they’re trapped
G
And that history repeats itself cycle of the past
Am
Yeah simplicity is sweet and safe right until you smash it
G
And then the mysteries that could’ve been and everything will crash
C
And then everything will burn, and the only thing that's left¨
G
Is the person in the mirror tryna swallow their regret
Am
Overthinking every night and realizing they’re depressed
G
Tryna get through every day 'cause they’re a motherfucking wreck
C
And I don’t mean no disrespect, but this shit is your life
G
You wanna waste it in an office knowing you don’t get it twice
Am
And you won’t second guess it from a second till it bites
G
You in the ass upon your deathbed when you wish you did it right
C
Normal can’t suffice, everybody's got a destiny
G
They settle in for less than they deserve it's in the recipe
Am
Passion equals profit perseverance is your weaponry
G
To build you up a motherfucking legacy
C
Everyone pretend to be happy through out all of these battles
G
They're stuck in they capsules and they're bound to their shackles
Am
See I’m here to tackle, flip the world the world on its axles
G
And show 'em how to give up these castles, Oakes
[Chorus]
C G Am
Life in the fast lane, we play our cards
G C
Praying we'll find out just who we are
G Am
We've built us a mansion from broken hearts
G C
And filled all the emptiness with broken parts
G Am
King of this castle, I'll wear the crown
G C
Hoping it lives on when I reach the ground
G Am
The demons in my head all dance around
G C
I'm facing this bottle, and praying they drown
