"Fast Life" is the second single from American hip hop artist Kool G Rap's 1995 album ''4,5,6'', featuring Nas Escobar.

Distribution, New York, to Chicago, L.A. We gotta set our own market, and enforce it.") and Nas later references such mob figures as Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel and Frankie Yale. G Rap and Nas go line for line in the third and final verse of the song which ''Complex'' has described as "mind-blowing".〔(The 100 Best Nas Songs )〕〔(The 50 Best Nas Verses )〕 The song's chorus goes as follows: :Livin the fast life, in fast cars :Everywhere we go, people know who we are :A team from out of Queens with the American Dream :So we're plottin' up a scheme to get the seven figure C.R.E.A.M.
