fading
It's the end of daze, dazing in the sky
Scared it all might fall, tryna ease my mind
Mama said be days that'll come like this
Never knew so soon the Lord would take what's his
I been up so high, ain't been down this long
Please help me God, need you to write this song
Was my work in vain? was it the mark i missed?
Didn't know such pain, came from worlds like this
I just figured it be better if i put something together
Every letter, every scrap,
My melodies, & boom bap raps
Even a few poems 'cause it don't get realer than that
Me & hip-hop's matrimony
Or somethin' like that
Cause i got too wrapped up with this idea in my mind
The first album i dropped, had to be one of a kind
I had to shake up the game, and send it through the grapevine
So i hid every rhyme i wrote and put it off to the side
Just don't get it twisted,
The vision God gave me is very vivid
I'm very gifted, executed well it'll cause a shiftin'
And that's my mission, but something's missin'
Why my passions & ambitions sitting locked up in my cognitive prison?
And nothing new's being written based off allusive conditions
Don't let the system convince you to live your life in contention
Being stingy with your dreams would be a foolish decision
As well as operating life as if the clock won't stop ticking
2020 is the year that it came claritin clear
Now everybody's calling out the man in the mirror
Because the world will still revolve even when we're not here
We can't keep sacrificing time so we can live in our fear
What if we die before we do?
One of one, one of a kind, no one can replace you
I ain't gon die with everything i thought still stuck inside
All of the gems, all of the visions that God put in my mind will live while i'm alive
Feels just like i'm fading (Fading)
Fading within
My spirit's heavy-weighted (Fading)
Weighted within
But
I'ma be alright, right
Right, right
Right, right
Closed in my right mind, mind
Mind, mind
Mind, mind
Sun is in the sky
Sky sky...
I'ma be alright, right
Right, right
Right, right
It's the end of daze, dazing in the sky
Scared it all might fall, tryna ease my mind
Mama said be days that'll come like this
Never knew so soon the Lord would take what's his
I been up so high, ain't been down this long
Please help me God, need you to write this song
Was my work in vain? was it the mark i missed?
Didn't know such pain, came from worlds like this
Excerpts from 'present' by juice:
You'll learn much more about life
By just living in it & reading
It doesn't take a genius to work an iPhone
But it takes quite the individual to live in the present
I struggle with that
I have always looked to the past in admiration
Or in need due to the absence of it
I don't think much of the future because
I loathe change & have never wanted to move forward
But maybe that's just the luxury of living
