Ephemeral Pursuits: Navigating Life's Fast Lane with Roddy Ricch
Lyrics
My OG Pete told me
Advice from an experienced person (OG Pete) is being shared.
The goal in life was to have fast money, fast bitches, and fast cars
The suggested life goals are centered around speed: money, relationships, and cars.
But the consequences behind that life is glory
Acknowledgment of the allure of a fast life, but also recognition of its consequences (glory).
But all fast things must slow down at some point
Recognition that fast-paced lifestyles inevitably slow down.
Or life will force you to stop
Life may intervene and force a slowdown if not chosen voluntarily.
His result was twenty-six years in the federal penitentiary
OG Pete's life outcome: 26 years in federal penitentiary due to the fast life.
I've realized I've lived fast, I wanna take my time
Personal realization of living fast and a desire to slow down.
Time is the most expensive luxury in the world
Highlighting the value of time as the most expensive luxury.
It's something you spend and never get back
Time is spent but cannot be recovered.
But you never know how much you have left
A reminder of the uncertainty of how much time one has left.
They say we gon' be livin' like this for the rest of our life
Expectation that the fast lifestyle will continue throughout life.
They say we gon' be livin' like this for the rest of tonight
Expectation that the fast lifestyle will persist for the remainder of the night.
You know they gon' be bangin' this shit for the rest of our lives
Anticipation that the music will have a lasting impact on their lives.
Live fast and die young
An expression suggesting the philosophy of living quickly and dying young.
Live fast and die young
Repetition of the theme: live fast and die young.
Live fast and die young
Reiteration of the mantra: live fast and die young.
(Ooh, yeah, ooh)
Expressive interjection, possibly indicating emotions related to the preceding lines.
Live fast and die young, ohh, ohh
Repetition of the live fast and die young sentiment with emotional emphasis.
