Fade Out

Yuh, yuh

I'ma tell her how it is
Dreaming about doing this
Never fit into the mix
Knew that I gotta move quick
Never be sitting down 'caues I be missing out everything I gotta get, yeah
Had to sell 25 tickets to get on stage and I'll never forget
They don't believe in me
They want the money they steal from me
I kept my confidence 'cause I know what it is
I put in time and now nobody steering me
Whole time I was in school
Writing rhymes in my dorm room
Took six years of long days, I'm 23 like MJ
I'm here, up and away
Used to be broke but I knew it would change
Gave up my happiness, it was a shame
Caught up in numbers and getting the plays
I let it go, then I begun
Now that I'm back up and ready to run
Know it's a journey but I'm always learning
I feel like the man that I knew I'd become, yuh

5 in the morning, I'm feeling wide away
They said I couldn't do it, had to find a way
Know what's gonna happen any day now
It's too late, I could never fade out

Yuh, I got a long way to go
I'm in a league of my own
I don't got time to compare
People be thinking I care
Nah, focus on me
I got a family to feed
I gotta goal to achieve
I got a lot of my plate and none of it going to waste
Thinking bout me, I'm doing fine
Mama be calling, I don't got the time
What does that mean, maybe I'm lost
Maybe the journey must come with a cost
Nothing is free, that's what I'm told
All of this missing out, been getting old
Hope it's all worth it
Nothing for certain
Hope that I'll see but right now but I'll know
Yeah the money good but my life tough
I been happy and been rough
I sacrificed all the better times just hoping it all pays off
I know now but I'll speak enough
It's been hard just keeping up
Well the good days need better ones
Don't stress out, I'ma let it come, I know

5 in the morning, I'm feeling wide away
They said I couldn't do it, had to find a way
Know what's gonna happen any day now
It's too late, I could never fade out
