Fade to Black

I said we all know sleep is the cousin of death For most all that's left is a life full of struggle and stress Hear the Devil mumbling under his breath And God forbid if I ever listen Halo round my head is gon forever glisten Reminiscing of a time my thoughts were way purer Days when we would fly to Europe just to hoop And dreaming of a day that they would queue up Just to hear me spit the truth, ain't no excuses Ask a nigga how I feel ima tell you that you're being too obtrusive Way too reclusive to let you in Heating up the remedy to pierce it right through his skin Fighting all those battles but his heroes are deep within They tryna break free, I know my actions make me And my words they don't really mean shit I know a nigga alive why do I not feel it Anything that's in my grasp is way less appealing I need mental healing There's certain things from the past that a mask can't conceal I'll keep it way more than real I'm not tryna paint a picture I'm just telling you how I feel When I think about the time that's left, and the time that we lost Realised every minute wasted that comes at a high cost This a one-way road it only leads to one place Will you leave in disgrace, or will you break down all the walls So you don't fit in the same space that you're claustrophobic in You too weak you hold it in so you just soldier on Ain't got no heat you drawing blanks on dreams they sold you on You got the key you see Unlocking potential is what they hold you from Give you the gun but I can't pull the trigger for ya What you aiming at You swear to make a change but the fear consumes you You assume that you must take it back Even in the darkest corner you can make it back Glimmer of hope still shines if all else fades to black Yo, when it all fades to black Glimmer of hope still shines if all else fades to black Even in the darkest corner you can make it back Glimmer of hope still shines if it all fades to uh Yo, when it all fades to black Glimmer of hope still shines when all else fades to black Even in the darkest corner you can make it back You can make it back, what's up Don't give a fuck bout how I should live I live my own way I dismiss advice they give proceed to give my own take You of all people in the world know what it takes to win Kinda like how money make it spin but we don't see it rotate You see I'm prone to hold a grudge if niggas don't wait with me In my zone when I'm alone like I'm balling out of Salt Lake City Self-destructive, it says way less about me Than it does her if a hoe stay with me, yo Pray the dough stay with me as I rise Living on the edge is cool till you realise you can't fly look Rock and a hard place we living in between Type of shit that keeps you going when you young and got a dream Drown out all the noise hear my voice is not the same But it's useless as a politician lobbying for change My brothers is my campaign donors We far from the herd but these suckers wanna stampede on us I can't breathe, I feel the pressure caving in If he swallowed by the masses boy there ain't no saving him Check, I feel the pressure caving in If he swallowed by the masses boy there ain't no saving him If I'm a fraud I ain't worth saving Conflict ripping at my core nigga I ain't really sure All I know is that the shit I'm wading through is deep One thing I ain't certain will he save me if I sleep, aye If I'm gon fall from my grace Atleast let me say my peace If in the palms of my hands rest my fate Can they tell me if I'll wake when I sleep If I'm gon fall from my grace then Atleast let me say my peace (let me say it) If In the palms of my hands rest my fate Can they tell me if I'll wake when I sleep When it all fades to black Glimmer of hope still shines if all else fades to black Even in the darkest corner you can make it back Yo, when it all fades to black Glimmer of hope still shines when all else fades to black Even in the darkest corner you can make it back Yo, yo, yo, check
