Fade Away

Fade away

I tell my therapist
Issa struggle fi mi hold on tight
Tru mi see too mucha good ones die
Mi find it hard fi open up
And show mih soul, heart, mind
Mi never get fi tell mama goodbye
Di thought of really loving somebody
And never knowing when dem could up and leave
Got me feeling so uneasy
Nuff time mi prefer to keep to myself
No late night phone call wid no bad news
'cause God know mi cyah tek it
God know mi cyah tek it
Di amount ah heartbreak mi done face
Mi cyah tek it
(Oh) how much time we love
And then we lost?
(No) gimme a chance please
An ease up nuh, boss?
I'm not ungrateful for anything mi have
But it's hard fi hold on
When you really know that

Everything I have could fade away
Nothing in life is sure to stay
People come and people go
Jehovah alone remains the same
Everything I have could fade away
Nothing in life is sure to stay
People come and people go
Only Jah alone will never change

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah

Please miss me wid di fake hail out
When yuh see mi jus' ah breeze stage side
'cause life too short to be pretending
If yuh know seh yuh nuh like mi
Keep it cordial, no need fi patronize
Lord mi see di jealousy, di badmind
And di envy in dem eyes
Like we ah race and dem competing for a prize
When every man will answer
Fi di way dem live dem life
Mi pray dem find dem purpose
And stop watch what is mine
(a'ight then)
Me stay inna mih owna lane
Forget bout di fame and forget accolades
'cause none of dem ting dey
Mi can tek to mih grave
Only wah we do fi God shall remain
(sing it again)

Everything I have could fade away
Nothing in life is sure to stay
People come and people go
Jehovah alone remains the same
Everything I have could fade away
Nothing in life is short to stay
People come and people go
Only Jah alone will never change

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
