Don't Let Me Fade

They say action speaks louder than words (Huh)
So here's a catch-22 for all the nerds (Oh)
You either stab or get stabbed
End up in a hearse
Or you scream for your life
And make the saying absurd
Now would you want to try to combat an attack
That I laid on a track with a come back rap (Nope)
But you know that you can't beat me at jack (At jack)
So you come back at me with a semi-auto strap
Cause I'm not about that I'm just about raps
Not just about racks but I'm getting all that (Oh yeah)
I'm fully independent no deal no fall back (Nope)
Really a nice guy but not the one to call back
They tryna close the door before my foot is through it
Like Trac making it hard to release my music (Fuck You)
A simple principle to get so why's it hard to do it (Why)
Put out my damn music and quit making me lose it
(Bitch)

I have a thought (Thought)
And a rhyme (Rhyme)
That I really have to say (I have to say)
I'm here to climb (Climb)
And remind (Remind)
That I'm really here to stay (I'm here to stay)
Over time (Time)
Others shine (Shine)
But eventually decay (Always decay)
So I pray (Pray)
Good lord (Lord)
Please don't let me fade (Don't let me fade)

My grind is harder than a middle aged man
With two girls shakin' their booty all over his pants (Uh uh uh)
And he came his pants like Dave's dad
Thinkin' 'bout Doja Cat in tan khaki slacks (Ooh)
But when it comes to slack I'm lacking that (Yep)
Spendin' twelve hour days just writing raps
That make you bash your head when I'm fighting back
Like how come no ones coming back at me with any raps (Why)
I'll make your show all about me (Huh)
Like when Cardi B announced her pregnancy (Look)
Up on B.E.T. Look at me baby (Woah)
And the crowd goes nuts for me crazy (Crazy)
If you step to me you'll end up like Kanye (Huh)
Either in the friend zone with no shake in broad day (Get it)
Or shot up in the ass you're Ward Bond I'm John Wayne
Either way you're toast buttered up and gourmet

I have a thought (Thought)
And a rhyme (Rhyme)
That I really have to say (I have to say)
I'm here to climb (Climb)
And remind (Remind)
That I'm really here to stay (I'm here to stay)
Over time (Time)
Others shine (Shine)
But eventually decay (Always decay)
So I pray (Pray)
Good lord (Lord)
Please don't let me fade (Don't let me fade)

Take my words with a grain of salt
Or get assaulted in the face
And lay in a vault
I'm salt to the wounds
Feel the grains dissolve
I didn't get the message
What you called (Huh)
If you scream Bloody Mary (Ahhh)
Then I'll make it more severe
My Doberman Pincher's really good at smellin' fear
Say my name three times in a mirror I appear (Boo)
Beat you till you have no feelings
Then take out your veneers
I won't feel a thing cause I got the crown
But you might feel a pain cause I ripped it out (Haha)
Let it be a lesson learned if you have a doubt (What)
Better keep it to yourself or you won't be found (Damn)
I'm laughing at the double XL freestyle (Haha)
Coi Leray shook her ass cause she couldn't rap wow
Are y'all motherfuckers really just finding that out (Really)
Listen to the fucking words and you'll hear without a doubt
(Dumbass)
