Faded

Lyrics

[Chorus] Uh, I'm just ridin' round my city faded Give a fuck if I make it home I'm usually with my boys and my girl But tonight I'm tryna ride all alone And if that ground opens, I'll get swallowed up Bottle top, fuck it, let's go I can feel it gettin' close Bottoms up, time to hit the road (Uh) [Verse 1] It's like my mind's got a cage around it Twistin' up, chasin' power, days dazed and clouded Barely go a day without it But if you got the tools to fix somethin' but don't, then don't complain about it Yeah, here I am, ridin' 'round the city hella high again Thought I told myself I was tired of this I'll admit, I'm a sucker, but at times like this Since we all here, ain't no point in fightin' it Sittin' in the dark drinkin', thinkin' this is hard livin' Starin' at a sky without any stars in it I was fallin', waitin' for someone to help me up It's no wonder it feels like I'm 'bout to self destruct It sounds selfish, but I don't wanna talk, 'less it's chill Let those words stay as thoughts, that way, they don't become real That way, they won't affect how you feel And we can all just do us 'Cause all I can do is write what I see around me Unfortunately for you, there ain't nothin' sweet about me I rap from everything as fast as I could, but it seems I found me Trouble's in town, and it seems that now he's rarely seen without me But it's just me here, the children don't dream here Barely ever pop up, I'm like a leap year Some days I had enough, I just wanna leave here Suffocated, no one could even hear me scream here [Chorus] Uh, I'm just ridin' round my city faded Give a fuck if I make it home I'm usually with my boys and my girl But tonight I'm tryna ride all alone And if that ground opens, I'll get swallowed up Bottle top, fuck it, let's go I can feel it gettin' close Bottoms up, time to hit the road (Uh, yeah) [Verse 2] Sittin' in the car, drunk, splittin' from the bar Devil rubbin' his hands together, like "Victory at last" But pourin' liquor on these scars ain't doin' me any favours, it's rippin' me apart Got a weight on my shoulders, I try to lift it, but I can't This world's got an air-tight grip around my heart Watchin' traffic, movin' lanes, like a military march I'ma get a good view and watch this city fall apart Let it burn, let it burn, burn it all to nothin' From the hills to the burbs, buddy, all or nothin' Let the ashes rot away, all the vermin Plus the dirt I've done in times, pass the world to Purpose Young man, if I could just get six months, maybe I could get some clarity But everything has a cost, I'd never ask no one to carry me Couldn't burden my boys with it, not my girl with it 'Cause they already gave me somethin' that the world didn't I never believed in hate in the first instance Now when Purpose leaves, he's takin' the world with him I've been out livin', put two and two together 'Cause life ain't right or wrong, only made the music better Made me a better man, balance step for that Everything I've got since day one put me where I am I work the grind and get it in where I can But I got bills to pay, not to mention friends and fam Need my head examined, stress ties my shoulders tight Heart as dark as night, eyes as cold as ice All the shit I used to write just to feel somethin' Has come to life, now it's like I can't feel nothin' [Chorus] Uh (And so I'm), I'm just ridin' round my city faded Give a fuck if I make it home I'm usually with my boys and my girl But tonight I'm tryna ride all alone And if that ground opens, I'll get swallowed up Bottle top, fuck it, let's go I can feel it gettin' close Bottoms up, time to hit the road
