Fade Away

(album: The Incredible True Story - 2015)

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah
Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

All day (All day), every day (Every day)
We was on that block until we made a way (We made a way)
Day to day, man that's the only way (Only way)
They gon' know my name until it fade away

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade—
(Way, way, way), uh, fade away
Uh, they gon' know my name until it fade away
(Okay, okay)

I been there, I done that, done that, this rap shit I run that
Motherfucker this far from a comeback, if one of us fall then we run back
Can't let that social worker just snatch up my kin, gotta get my son back
'Cause when they coming through that system don't give a fuck about you (You, you, you)
Everybody gonna die, gonna go one day, maybe it'll happen on a Monday
Driving to work and get hit by a Hyundai, fuck it, let it all go one day
I know, I'ma get it like this, living that life while they all reminisce
Never regretted, the second I said it I feel like I'm smarter, I read it on Reddit
You're fucking pathetic, my etiquette murder ya predicate, bitch I'm ahead of it, yeah
Yes I'ma die but I don't wonder why in the hell I'ma ride in the dead of it, yeah
I know, know, life on Earth is so unpredictable
Okay-kay, hold up let me say yes I fade away

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade a— uh
(Way, way, way), fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade away
(Yeah, yeah)

Tell me what I wouldn't wanna give for a life like this, arm and a leg quite like this
Fuck around wanna fight like this, take a hike like this
I might just, might just, I don't know
Reinvention, that's my intention
Want so much more than this third-dimension
That's not to mention my true ascension is a bigger picture
No metaphor, I'm being real with ya
But it will hit ya like, "goddamn!"
Going HAM, full of all of them
In a spaceship, I'm in another system
So futuristic, on another mission
But back on Earth everybody bitching, I been in the kitchen
Living my life—no inhibition, life to death with no intermission
Now the good book said we all the same, and we kill each other but it's all in vain
And we all to blame, can't see the picture when it's out the frame
Real talk, I wanna grip the grain and just ride with ya, build a family then die richer
When ya get to heaven I'mma come and get ya
Sit back and really get the picture
This life, yeah, it done ate away, hard times never stayed away
But one thing I know day to day, I'mma do something 'fore I fade away

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade—
(Way, way, way), fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade—
(Way, way, way), fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade away

[Thomas:] Get the upgrade?
[Kai:] Nah, man. It's the same shit with a different title!
[Thalia:] That's not true, Kai
[Kai:] What the fuck?!
[Thomas:] Yeah, man. They didn't just upgrade features, they enhanced her AI
[Kai:] So she can actually hold a conversation?
[Thomas:] Yeah. Ask her yourself
[Kai:] Uh, what am I thinking, Thalia?
[Thalia:] Kai, I'm a program in the ship's interface, not a psychic
[Kai:] Damn, girl!
[Thomas:] Yeah, that's another thing now. She's unisex
[Kai:] What?!
[Thomas:] Thalia, integrate Y chromosome feature
[Thalia:] Sure thing, Thomas. Would you like a standard accent or something a little more exotic?
[Kai:] Holy shit!
[Thomas:] Told you, man. The upgrade's crazy. Thalia, revert last command and run simulation
[Thalia:] Running simulation
[Kai:] Man, what the hell is that?
[Thomas:] Well, you can pick anyone in history, and based off a collection of data, it allows you to personally speak with them
[Kai:] Anybody?
[Thomas:] Anybody
[Kai:] Thalia, do Big Sean
[Thomas:] Alright, let me get this straight. You can speak with anyone in recorded history, like Jesus, Steve Jobs, Einstein, and you pick Big Sean?
[Kai:] Man, fuck yeah! That's my dog!
[Thomas:] Okay. Thalia, simulate Big Sean
[Thalia:] What up Kai, You lil' bitch?
[Kai:] Yeah, I'mma have to upgrade my shit
