Fade Away

Yeah it’s true I’m optimistic
Growing up no pot to piss in
A foolish kid made bad decisions
Now I’m balling harder than Scottie Pippen
When mama talked I never listened
I crossed the line like in detention
Had no friends couldn’t keep a job
Just a notepad and a composition
Came a long way from my homie’s basement
Hard work and dedication
Its paying off, I’m feeling blessed
I keep it real no observation
Took a while but I found my lane
Writing helps to cope with pain
If not for music I’d go insane
Like Techa Nina I’m feeling strange
These walls are talking man I can hear em'
I’ma skitzo like Jarren Benton
Fuck a label I’m independent
Will not quit I’m too relentless
I murder beats like a terrorist
I should go see a therapist
I doubt I’m ever gon' trust no bitch
I’m on the rise that come up quick
Stay underground realest sound
Success is what you make it now
Forever ill I’ll hold my ground
Watch my haters all come around
Trying to steal my light wont take my shine
Too inspired from those dreadful times
Clock is ticking gotta get that cake
Can kick me down but wont fade away
Depressed as fuck but motivated
Dropped out of school self educated
I’m making moves and paying dues
Ain’t slowing down til I’m finally famous
One’s who doubted can kiss my ass
Friendship’s now not meant to last
I’m passionate and smashing it
Too far ahead I can’t go back
Been on the mountains for a while keep on climbing up
It seems no matter what you do it is not enough
They wanna knock me off my game but I pay no mind
I was a diamond in the rough now I’m about to shine
I’ll probably never get the recognition I deserve
These people talk behind my back well I’m not concerned
I want you to know
That I’m never gonna fade away
I contemplate lay wide awake
I’m so alone but need my space
My mental problems have taken over
Like literally I’ve lost my ways
Who am I? What’s my purpose
Am I happy I’m not certain
Karma hits and now I’m hurting
Maybe I should close the curtains
Pull the plug and call it quits
If I do that won’t stand for shit
These people love me for making hits
Like Bruce Jenner your life’s a bitch
Writing rhymes and improvise
Celebrate you’re still alive
Life’s a prize in your possession
I care for culture not for attention
I promise you ma gonna get that house
Chasing my dreams til the money pours out
Stuck by my side through thick and thin
I can’t forget but will amend
I found my passion deep in music
Change the world with what I’m doing
Built a movement still improving
Still you hate but not pursuing
Won’t take for granted ya’ll helped me get
To the point I’m at there’s no regrets
I’m living life so limitless
Stay razor sharp like a Gillette
Money’s power our world’s corrupted
Mankind is sabotaged
The government will hide the truth
The end is near best pray to God
Rockafella you won’t be missed
Rot in hell you fucking saint
Poverty is through the roof
The good die young just can’t explain
Critics lie but numbers don’t
Fake fans leave me alone
Appreciate the mad support
Look how far my name has grown
Been on the mountains for a while keep on climbing up
It seems no matter what you do it is not enough
They wanna knock me off my game but I pay no mind
I was a diamond in the rough now I’m about to shine
I’ll probably never get the recognition I deserve
These people talk behind my back well I’m not concerned
I want you to know
That I’m never gonna fade away
