Fade Away
Take a look around. You think it’s life you’ve found

Don’t know that you’re alone

You’ve finally found the dream that girls and money bring

But you’re livin’ all alone



Getting cash and another high

Living fast for a name in lights

But life keeps fading away

Lookin’ good for the camera lights

Fake smiles and the hazy nights

& life keeps fading away



Playin’ the game again where pretty people win

Livin’ high & dyin’ slow

You can make it rain for days & you can buy yourself some praise

Gain the world but lose your soul



Getting cash and another high

Living fast for a name in lights

But life keeps fading away

Lookin’ good for the camera lights
Fake smiles and the hazy nights

& life keeps fading away



This is dedicated to all the frustrated underpaid makin’ minimum wage

Stuck between angry and afraid, yeah maybe it’s a phase

But what will happen when that maybe changes to amaze

With no way out feelin’ crazy and deranged because all the

Sunshine’s buried underneath the rain

I’ve been through a few storms, every new fad to the new norm, live and I learn like a school dorm

But I’m writin’ til I find the quotes & write words that can try to show you how to try to cope & stay afloat until you find your boat

Don’t exchange hope for a line of coke

I’m bein vocal when approaching you, what am I supposed to do?

Life is a game but the player isn’t coachable
So I made a choice to not do it for the social group & give my all international or local show



I’m tryin’ to talk but you’re tellin’ me to back off. Please dog not today you have problem but you wanna run away like a model on a cat-walk

So here’s what I gotta say, that it helps build character. When you goin’ through it like a hallway, feelin’ like a big fish in a small place, no room to grow, feelin’ insignificant and out of tune like a bad instrument. This is when you’re into it, faith through discipline, and never be homeless when God is where you’re livin in. I know that in the everyday stress gets crazy. When life is a female dog, through Christ she’s a lady. Here I can prove, no need to convince, everything makes sense when you listen to the music. I don’t do it for the thank you or you’re welcomes. When in the end of my hope comes I wanna hear ‘Servant well done
