Fade Away

'Cause I've been grindin' all night
But, I will not fade away

Yeah, I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been runnin' towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight everyday that I awake
But I will not fade away
I! (I!)
Can't! (can't!)
Fade! (fade!)
Away! (no!)

Rent is high, bills are due, and they're just pilin' higher
This ride of life is spiraling, I might just light a fire
And dive inside of it, 'cause I'm tired of tryin' to fight it quick
As I try it, life grips it's teeth, and it's bite gets tighter
Sometimes I wonder, am here for reason I don't know?
Why do I work this hard, yet progress seems to be so slow?
'Til I remember where I was just a few years ago
And would've killed to know what I know

'Cause I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been runnin' towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight everyday that I awake
But I will not fade away
I! (I!)
Can't! (can't!)
Fade! (fade!)
Away! (no!)

You can go ahead and try, but I'll never take the bait
I'm the one that will survive, I'ma set the world ablaze
Say you work a 9 to 5, I've been workin' all day
'Cause I will not fade away
I! (I!)
Can't! (can't!)
Fade! (fade!)
Away! (no!)

For the longest time, was the only one that believed in me
But that was enough
The drive that I had could take it farther than any car, plane or bus
'Cause I gave no fucks, and I never gave up
On something I couldn't go a day without thinking about
When they tell me to stop rappin', but
Rap saved my life more times than I can count

So I'ma keep doing this shit, better grit your teeth
If you wanna keep them between your lips
I'm a beast when I spit
Leavin' every single motherfuckin' beat deceased
When I release and rip
I ain't even come close to reachin' my peak
So I catch my Z's while I let them speak
I ain't dead, but still, I'ma rest in peace
Knowin' that I could do this shit in my sleep, yeah

I know, right now
Things may not seem like they're the best (that's true)
You've tried to make it work, but nothin' does
You don't know what to do
I promise, I've been there, life just seems like it's unfair
All your enemies succeeding, while you're pleadin' for some air
'Cause life is suffocating you, the struggle bus is takin' you
Through ruts, it sucks, but just stay true, and toughen up
'Cause days of new are on the rise
These trying times are blessings in disguise
And one day you'll look back, and know that I'm right

'Cause I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been runnin' towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight everyday that I awake
But I will not fade away
I! (I!)
Can't! (can't!)
Fade! (fade!)
Away! (no!)

You can go ahead and try, but I'll never take the bait
I'm the one that will survive, I'ma set the world ablaze
Say you work a 9 to 5, I've been workin' all day
'Cause I will not fade away
I! (I!)
Can't! (can't!)
Fade! (fade!)
Away! (no!)

'Cause I been grindin' all night
But, I will not fade away
