While A$AP Rocky remains incarcerated in Sweden (and just plead not guilty in court), his new collaboration with Alan Walker just dropped not too long ago. Entitled “Live Fast,” the song comes as the official anthem for PUBG Mobile, a battle royale game on Android and iOS modeled after the massively popular game for PC.
This is Walker’s first time teaming up with a rapper of Rocky’s magnitude, and the new track exposes a side of his production we haven’t really heard as of yet. Rocky even references his 2013 Skrillex collaboration, “Wild For The Night”:
2013 I went wild for night
In 2019 I’m getting out ’fore I die
The lyrics were written before his incarceration, but the meaning behind the words rings truer now than ever.
Walker will perform the song live in Berlin, July 26, as part of the PUBG Mobile Club Open Spring Split Global Finals. See the video below!
Alan Walker x A$AP Rocky – Live Fast
[Chorus: Kameron Alexander]
Live fast for the moment
Keep burning on both ends
I gotta get out ‘fore I die, out ’fore I die‚ get out ‘fore I die
Blacked out in the morning
Too high never cave in
I gotta get out ‘fore I die‚ out ’fore I die‚ get out ‘fore I die
[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky]
Burning like a candle both ends dripping spills loose
Ends burn heads burning end bridges
Better use the stairs till your legs hurting
Running for the hills I’m on their heels keep their heads turning
Consider it a fair warning
My partners steady moving like it’s feds on us, uh uh
Probably cause you assuming that its meds on us, uh uh
Kick big shit I need leg warmers chug water all love
Blood is thicker than the dreads on us (wooh)
Now I remember that when I’m in my bag
It ain’t where you from it’s where you’re at
Where them niggas at
Time to toe tag‚ yeah, body bag, yeah
Karate chop the shit in half ’till they find my match (fight)
’Till they find me laying dead on my back
This could be my last year
Putting up a fight until I collapse
2013 I went wild for night
In 2019 I’m getting out ’fore I die
[Chorus: Kameron Alexander]
Live fast for the moment
Keep burning on both ends
I gotta get out ‘fore I die‚ out ‘fore I die, get out ‘fore I die
Blacked out in the morning
Too high never cave in
I gotta get out ’fore I die, out ‘fore I die, get out ‘fore I die
[Refrain: Kameron Alexander]
Oh, I gotta get out ‘fore I die
Oh, I gotta get out ‘fore I die
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
When you started from the bottom go top forward, yeah
Name like saliva whole mouth full of it, yeah
Chasing for the clout go all out for it
‘Till they pull up with the toasters like a house warming, yeah
I just need my piece please like a Reese’s butter cup
Is you a punk or a power puff, huh, toughen up
Bunk my species time to feces
Then repeat rock my CC Chanel
Just popped a CC now I’m up
When it’s time for me
Show me empathy
When it ends for me
Would you fend for me
When it’s time for me
Show me empathy
When it ends for me
Would you fend for me
[Chorus: Kameron Alexander]
Live fast for the moment
Keep burning on both ends
I gotta get out ‘fore I die, out ‘fore I die, get out ‘fore I die
Blacked out in the morning
Too high never cave in
I gotta get out ‘fore I die, out ‘fore I die, get out ‘fore I die
[Outro: Kameron Alexander]
It ain’t where you from, it’s where you at
Oh, I gotta get out ‘fore I die
