Faded

I think one of my greatest inspirations were

Or the things I would feed off of basically was just people

Not believing in the you know their cloud of doubt

That kind of I felt hung over my head and wanted

To just prove everybody wrong you know what I mean?

I wanted to make it you know I was gonna make it

Regardless of what anyone said

I’m not afraid

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em

But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em

'Cause ain't no way I'm a let you stop me from causin' mayhem

When I say I'm a do somethin' I do it

I don't give a damn what you think

I'm doin' this for me, so fuck the world, feed it beans

It's gassed up, if it thinks it's stoppin' me

I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly

And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony

No if, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he

From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shittin'

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly

Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him

Whichever comes first, for better or worse

He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas

His gift is a curse, forget the Earth

He's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt

And fuck the whole universe

You were the shadow to my light did you feel us?

Another star you fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us

Alight

Where are you now?

They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five

Cocked on these suckas, time to die

Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus

I was a fool all through high school, kickin' up dust

But now I'm labeled as a troublemaker, who can you blame?

Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain

So I'm hopeless, rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry

I'm 'bout to crash up on the curb ‘cause my vision's blurry

Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?

I had to feed my fuckin' family, what else could I do

But be a thug? Out slangin' with the homies

Fuck hangin' with them phonies in the clubs!

Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide

My city's full of gang-bangers and drive-by's

Why do we die at an early age?

He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge

My memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts

And I ain't goin' back to court, so fuck what you thought!

I'm drinkin' Hennessy, runnin' from my enemies

Will I live to be 23? There's so much pain

You were the shadow to my light did you feel us?

Another star you, fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us

Alight

Where are you now?

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me

Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally

For you, so I could come back a brand new me

You helped see me through

And don't realize what you did, believe me you

I been through the ringer, but they could do little to the middle finger

I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of

My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead

No more bee flingers, no more drama from now on

I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibilities as a father

So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof

Like my daughters and raise it

You couldn't lift a single shingle on it, 'cause the way I feel

I'm strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub

And lift the whole liquor counter up 'cause I'm raising the bar

I'd shoot for the Moon but I'm too busy gazin' at stars
