Fade Away (feat. Tuker Lucy, Caius Hubris & Axus)

I could fade away in stereo, that prospect feels very close
My career's now an algorithm, times are real scary so
I'm tryna find a job that pays above my rent and bills
But apparently my degree just doesn't translate into real life skills
It's temporary? So's my life, give and get this bare minimum wage
Life is like a tug of war, the rope's tied real tight
'Round four different limbs, this could be my last night
I'm overdrawn and quartered
I've been stayin' poor and income reportin'
Student loans default, like Sims 4 without DLC
I stare at my screen, my power fantasy's not goin' broke from my heat
When it's December, I just wanna see my friends and my family,
But I can't, that's when I remember
That my power bill's more than half of my income
Somehow my fault, not the system's
Y'all can't wait to show me the door
See me slip through the crack like late mayor Rob Ford

I don't wanna fade away
And I don't wanna leave without a trace
I just wanna find a way to stay
To make you proud of what I made

T Luce, jumping out the bando, unload a clip with no ammo
I write these rhymes by candle, create a world with no scandals
No memory of who I wanna be, wanted the same thing for eternity
These struggles aren't new to me, I'll finish this off beautifully
Can't take this shit for granted, Brandon, can't wait to live life lavish, standards
Too high, I can't even stand it, hip hop, naw, man he expanding
What do you want from the kid? Man, after all that he did
Told you he made it to King from a squid, with Psiren again it's a hit
Who gonna stop me? Who gonna stop me?
Look down on a view of a providence, I want too many options
Consumed with making you proud it's, too many doubting
Take a look from these mountains, a moment of silence

I don't wanna fade away
And I don't wanna leave without a trace
I just wanna find a way to stay
To make you proud of what I made

Lost between transmission shops and sparkling granite countertops
I stopped atop the lawn where the halogens popped and walked
I walked inside a driving rain a slippery sticky hydroplane
Driven to sustain the pace of pain just to remain plain
We tried to meet in a place with no darkness
But shadows came just the same, heartless
Companions converging where merit shines
Where the greyscale walls hold something divine
Taught two plus two equals nine to five
One job plus one job means barely alive
You hear two conflicting things and must accept both
That's double plus good on the hourly poll
Trending awesome on the outcome of the war of the bold
Maybe a bit hazy on which enemy, though
Trending awesome on the outcome of the war of the bold
Maybe a bit hazy on which enemy, though
