Yeah... Uhuh Uhuh [Verse] The things I couldnt I say, the things I couldnt write The knowledge I didnt have in life made it hard to fight The journeys endless is something that you must learn Things that you dont wanna do in life is how you earn, a living To survive for when the hard times arrive, listen The world we live in is a prison And to escape the realism is to free our minds Stand aside and shine, and let life preservation speed through time A choice, a thought, no love in this world, you know only business taught Remember where ever you go you cant be gone too long But then again most of your parents want you out the blue, gone Broken dreams in a broken home, thoughts of life after death You picked the stone, up and threw it at the man in the mirror The next thing you know he goes ahead and pulls the trigger hes gone [Hook] You better get up from here and leave this place What you might is peace and grace... Just fade away, fade away, just fade away Fade away, just fade away, fade away Just fade away, fade away, just fade away... [Verse] Unemployment rising, bills being missed Repossessor coming in taking over developments That black frame of mind aint so hesitant But were still in the ghetto paying that same old rent And its sad to say, sad to see, sad to feel the pain Black folk, white folk, pain its all the same The government is who truly decides our fate I just wish we all could leave reality and just escape Fear, depression, and troubled minds Trying to hide the pain thats inside from showing Your drowning in the puddle of blood thats growing Deeper and deeper almost getting caught by the reaper You try to swim upward to grab the hand of a preacher, you make it And wake up to a gun in your face, then your wasted You gotta remember that lifes a game man Humps in the road are like puddles in the sand [Hook] [Verse] You ever lie awake, thinking about tomorrow Hope that when you wake you wont drink to drown the sorrow Or look in the mirror and ask yourself why Life here on earth aint worth living youd rather die Your the man in the mirror staring at yourself for hours Thinking who you should be in this world besides a coward A rich man, poor man, real civilized man Or an angel above always watching over Gods land Constant death lurks around every corner A man seen two years ago dies as a soldier A kid named Trayvon was killed by a loner Corrupt cops on this earth should be the death doner I guess it is what it is, but is this who we are even like Is this even real, is this even life Thoughts so deep, in a mind a strong, from a man so bright Learning right from wrong I call these visions from the soul yall [Hook x2]
fade, away, man, uhuh, sad
