about
This is a rappy song about where the name "Fast Heart Mart" comes from. Originally this was a hidden track off the Fats Heart Mart album "Cheap and Sunny". Now it is being released without all the pesky silence before and all the weird noises that came with the hidden track.
lyrics
Fast Heart Mart is my moniker
I gave it to myself like a stupid jerk
Couldn’t await around for the fortune and fame
This is how I got my silly nick name
One morning at the age of twelve
My parents were gone house to myself
Eating cereal and watching cartoons
Got up from the couch to use the bathroom
My vision faded from my eyes
As I fell to floor like a fly from the sky
I remember fading to black
And coming to I was scared to come back
To this world of people and rules
Math classes intermediate schools
Parents came home it happened again
It happened again
They got scared called an ambulance
Doctor of neurology
Electrodes on my head and found nothing
Doctor of psychology dismissed it as
Anxiety
For 5 years I was feeling fine
Passing out spells were far behind
I was in high school a senior
Walking down the hall class pictures
Rows of lockers were my final sight
As my world became the darkest of nights
Principal was calling my name
File folder was facing my face
As I returned to the living world
I noticed my mouth was feeling horrible
My front teeth were a gapping hole
I was rushed off to the hospital
Numerous tests and EKG’s
The doctor finally found the source of my disease
The problem is electricity
That goes to my heart and makes it beat
Pumping so fast it just quivers
Blood just stops undelivered
To my brain and vital organs
Oxygen deprivation
Doctor gave me a safety net
Defibrillator in my chest
It’s like those paddles that people fear
Flat lined patient everybody yells “Clear!!!”
It turns out that I’m lucky
A lot of sudden death in my family
30 year old aunt sleepin’ in her bed
Late for work and now she is dead
12 year old cousin on his paper route
Just dropped dead when he passed out
I gave it to myself like a stupid jerk
Couldn’t await around for the fortune and fame
This is how I got my silly nick name
One morning at the age of twelve
My parents were gone house to myself
Eating cereal and watching cartoons
Got up from the couch to use the bathroom
My vision faded from my eyes
As I fell to floor like a fly from the sky
I remember fading to black
And coming to I was scared to come back
To this world of people and rules
Math classes intermediate schools
Parents came home it happened again
It happened again
They got scared called an ambulance
Doctor of neurology
Electrodes on my head and found nothing
Doctor of psychology dismissed it as
