Driving a fast car

[Verse Three: Lupe Fiasco]
(Lupe!)
Soon as they wave they checkered
Begin to drive reckless
Hope you have a wreck, but walk away deafless
And when they rush the car with the extinguishers, you gesture to the crowd with your fingers up that you're ok
That you're so safe
That you're so brave
Cause you live your life with one foot in your own grave
When you're defying d**h, thats when you're on stage
With a million on the dash and the crowd hoping you crash
So what the devil did and you prepare for this to be your last
You ran outta gas
[Hook]

I see 2 kids in the alley, with ski masks and a shotty

We get the cash and we take off in the fast car
Yes, they got the dough thats when I heard the shots blast
They try to speed it up but the hearse don't move fast
[Hook]
You don't gotta be no billionaire

Pushing in the club looking fly and alright now
