Romain Grosjean

I been livin' fast, I'm about to stall
I'm about to crash, I'm about to fall
Tried to switch gears, but I hit a wall
Tried to run long before I learned to crawl

I been livin' fast, need to slow down
I'm about to crash, I'ma go down
Tried to switch gears, don't know how
Tried to outrun my peers; it just goes south

I feel like my worth's been eviscerated
Put real life in my work unappreciated
Tryna search for commiseration
Seeking liberation... Everything I did, I hate it
I don't wanna be that guy that no more
I been really trying to find my sword
'Cause there were times I swore
I ain't wanna be alive no more
But I overcame that adversity
You're only hurtin' you, It ain't hurtin' me
The only thing I hate is uncertainty
The only thing I crave is a purpose, please
Tell me why I was put on this earth
Every time I try to drive I get put in reverse
It's good that I've learned to never say it couldn't be worse
Got one foot on the gas and one foot in the hearse

I been livin' fast, I'm about to stall
I'm about to crash, I'm about to fall
Tried to switch gears, but I hit a wall
Tried to run long before I learned to crawl

I been livin' fast, need to slow down
I'm about to crash, I'ma go down
Tried to switch gears, don't know how
Tried to outrun my peers; it just goes south

I'm 'bout to drive away, watch the tires turning
Baptized in flames, watch the fire burning
I'm tryin' to get paid my entire thirties
So like Romain Grosjean, I'll retire early

Let the engine rev, 'bout to cross the line
Every time I get ahead, I just fall behind
I wasn't gifted with pole position
Had to fight from the back for the total distance
It feels like I won't finish this race
Watchin' life pass me by while I'm sittin' in place
Askin' why it feels like God spit in my face
Passersby flashin' lights while I'm hittin' the breaks
But I'm veerin' off course fast
I don't remember all this rain in the forecast
We got it out the mud, check the floor mats
I see the light from the sun through the door cracks
One more lap, tryin' to get a podium
They been hatin', thinkin' I ain't notice 'em
They spectatin', waitin' as the motor runs
But when it's over, who knows who will hold the cup

I been livin' fast, I'm about to stall
I'm about to crash, I'm about to fall
Tried to switch gears, but I hit a wall
Tried to run long before I learned to crawl

I been livin' fast, need to slow down
I'm about to crash, I'ma go down
Tried to switch gears, don't know how
Tried to outrun my peers; it just goes south

I'm 'bout to drive away, watch the tires turning
Baptized in flames, watch the fire burning
I'm tryin' to get paid my entire thirties
So like Romain Grosjean, I'll retire early
