[Intro]
Pressure heavy every time I wake
Tomorrow already on its way
I light up to help me lift this weight
'Til it fade away, 'til it fade
I got memories and ties to make
Potential I can't let go to waste
Tryna find peace every night and day
'Til I fade away, 'til I fade

[Verse 1]
Shooting for the top, but all them ceilings high
Difficult to translate ideas in my mind
It's so many words I couldn't fit between the lines
So much left unsaid cause it ain't fit in rhyme
But still, I'm finna rip the mic
Hit the booth, like maybe this one's rеally it this time
Left hook, uppercut, lеft cross, hit em twice
Punching in take after take until I get it right
Been in school like all my life, 'member when I'd get in line
For Friday pizza, earthquake drills, things that I'll forget in time
Racing through the hallways, finally at the finish line
Once I graduate and grab a plate, then I'll be getting mine
Used to dream of rocking coliseums, getting signed
Autographing album merch for all my fans who been in line
Now I'm like, if I never make it, well, shit it's fine
I can make a living off of Photoshop or inDesign
[Hook]
Pressure heavy every time I wake
Tomorrow already on its way
I light up to help me lift this weight
'Til it fade away, 'til it fade
I got memories and ties to make
Potential I can't let go to waste
Tryna find peace every night and day
'Til I fade away, 'til I fade

[Verse 2]
But shit, I ain't gon' put down the pen
I write rhymes to ease anxiety that I hold within
Took a trip on shrooms and saw that I was truly alive
But somewhere along the way, took a swerve in the drive
Nearly scared myself to death the things I saw in my mind
Living in a nightmare of thoughts that I realized
Couldn't tell apart reality, from truth and the lies
Things that shook me most, no I can't even describe
Seen my life played out, all the ups and the lows
Flash forward to my end, thinking I could've been more
Felt sick to my soul, knees weak on the floor
Almost went and called my ex, almost called my bro
Paranoia, fear set in now when I hit smoke
Learned some lessons bout self-betterment and my sorrows
I should prolly take a t-break at least, I know
But, these times have been hard and this is how I cope
[Hook]
Pressure heavy every time I wake
Tomorrow already on its way
I light up to help me lift this weight
'Til it fade away, 'til it fade
I got memories and ties to make
Potential I can't let go to waste
Tryna find peace every night and day
'Til I fade away, 'til I fade

[Verse 3]
This beat been on repeat for me from morning to the evening
Fell in love with music and my feelings keep on deepening
Hi-hats on the kicks and snares, help me explain my reasoning
Sprinkle in my lyrics like a dash of spice and seasoning
Cooking for the soul, yeah the bass line is my therapy
When I don’t have strength, it's the rhythm that help carry me
When I'm all alone, it's the melodies that care for me
So when I craft my verses, I treat 'em real carefully
Perfectionist, do my best to do no wrong
I pack all woes up in the bowl and inhale through the bong
You remind of the sun glow when the morning dawn
But I'm still stuck in bed, even when the morning gone
When it’s all said and done
At my weakest moments, was when I kept going strong
Take my fading memories, immortalize them in song
Hoping somebody will feel em when I'm dead and gone
