I’m trying to live up to my liberty
And I know the blessing when I feel the spirit in’a me
I learned a lesson, when my mothers done’a filling me
But always wanting and never having it was killing me
So nowa im in this villainy
And day and now this badness
When I was young I used to wonder where my dad is
And now im grown and in this world that full of maddness
And my old man is on my mind
I’ve got to stab this, and hes first in line
And I’m fading
(Hook)
Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
(Verse 2)
Sometimes my life is full of vanity and lust
No love and no trust
No faith and no hope
Theres games but no jokes
I’m down to bring the pain and rob folks
Cause I’m scared of dying broke
And im fading
Im out there in the world and im blazing
And I recognize my blessing but I neglect to praise them
Fuck it im raising
It could be that im blessed indeed
But this shot at life is feeding my seeds
Rude boy living on a fun thing
We do things, we’ve done things, we run tings
We prefer to lead, then follow
Prefer to steal then to borrow
And know we ain’t promised tomorrow
And im fading
(Hook)
Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
(Verse 3)
Since I was little with my rasta blade I’ve been paid
Ain’t afriad of getting blood on my clothes
And my crews brave
And my momma say I’ll send her to an early grave
But my momma been broke all the years she braved
As I lay me down to sleep
Thinking that they say we can inherit the earth that keep you weak
Im going to be the most ghetto fabulous on the street
I got an appetite that ravenous I’m dying to eat
And im fading
I’m out there in world and im blazing
And them boy dere think that there ready
But them boy dere are gazing, and yo
More time, I’m come and test there spine
I’ll get mine and on the road I’ll shine
And im fading
(Hook)
Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
