I'm fading i'm fading away
Formulating my life
I don't recognize myself i'm new
I'm fading i'm fading away

(Verse 1)
I've been going back and forth in this thought of late reminiscing reflecting what got me here in this spot
Crazy to think it all dropped sitting here i got
Goose bumps while i'm cooking stirring this rice in my pot
Listen telling my self i don't want to show out fake
People been through worse i don't want to show me in their place and even if that's false i don't want to test out fate
I din't go through what you did but just know that i can relate
See my father is one of the best i would never ever trade but in 2012 he was a workoholic out late
He was lucky to always have his right hand man beside him and this man could throw a football basically became my idol
I learned so much from him deposited knowledge like a check it made it more difficult for me to fathom that he left
The absence at the time seemed like it was making life harder so even though i got a daddy i felt like i lost a father

(chorus)
I'm fading i'm fading away they tell me i should love but its hard for me to give out my trust cuz they go come and go like the days come and go like different days
I'm drifting i'm drifting away trying to do what is right formulating my life i don't recognize myself i'm new i don' t want to lose me and i pray that i won't lose you

(Verse 2)
I snap when i hear people don't be meaning what they say
I don't listen to it no more it takes a toll on my brain
Even thinking about it getting me hot making me feaverish can't deal with it cuz i know for me i take my word serious
So to my wife in the future who ever you might be i swear to god i promise you i ain't never gonna leave
And to my daughter or son keep your head in the trees walk proud baby you ain't gotta worry about me
Ya i know i be sounding like every other guy on the planet and people looking at me like they don't think i can manage
The commitment i made that came deep out of my anguish and people acting confused cuz they don't understand it
But i know it for myself man they ain't gotta believe me that's why when they tell me what they think i just ask them to leave me
Im not perfect imma make mistakes and you will too i just hope to God you won't lose me and i won't lose you

(Chorus)
I'm fading i'm fading away they tell me i should love but its hard for me to give out my trust cuz they go come and go like the days come and go like different days
I'm drifting i'm drifting away trying to do what is right formulating my life i don't recognize myself i'm new i don' t want to lose me and i pray that i won't lose you
