Fade Away

Rappers talkin' money pushing packs all day But you ain't movin' weight like the CIA They got years to give crooks in a new private prison You could hit the books maybe try and find religion Comin' out like Malcolm start preaching to the people But when you get killed it probably be your own people Feeling like Martin smoking on the balcony If that sniper wasn't there then I wonder what the world would be Kids puffin kill minds in the galaxies Oxie molly xan's might as well be crack to me My heroes turned addicts in the hyphy era I was there bruh poppin' that blue nike era The peacoat days black beanies with the fold Friends holding heat when the fog get cold Not a new story not the the first time told But each time different mysteries unfold The fame gon' Fade away fade away fade away The money gon' Fade away fade away fade away The high gon' Fade away fade away fade away But the love never Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Rappers talkin' choppers how they busting off the heat But they ain't busting back at the damn police They got bullets for our brothas shoot us down wit no pity though You could be the next one filmed on video A leader like Sandra talkin' power to the people But you a get killed for talkin' power to the people Feeling like Oscar waiting on the bart train No matter what you say that ain't deserve to be his last day We shuffle through the systems group homes and the shelters Foster care and juvie hall stuck writin' letters Come home and the block bought off by investors Keep hoods yours before a new one get developed Condos on streets where people camping out in tents Intense how it gets when you late behind your rent Not a new cycle happens all across the globe But each time different mysteries unfold The fame gon' Fade away fade away fade away The money gon' Fade away fade away fade away The high gon' Fade away fade away fade away But the love never Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away Fade away fade away fade away
