Quotable Lyrics

I've been trapped in my mind, I've been tryin' to escape
Fame and loneliness, the recipe for disaster
I can't handle this sh*t, I'll make it pastor
I just wanna go fast, I'm a bastard
I won't stop 'till I'm where I wanna be in life
And there's so many things to do in in-between time
That's not to say I don't be lost up in my f*ckin' mind
