Fading - Rodney P

I’m trying to live up to my liberty

And I know the blessing when I feel the spirit in’a me

I learned a lesson, when my mothers done’a filling me

But always wanting and never having it was killing me

So nowa im in this villainy

And day and now this badness

When I was young I used to wonder where my dad is

And now im grown and in this world that full of maddness

And my old man is on my mind

I’ve got to stab this, and hes first in line

And I’m fading

(Hook)

Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity

Shall fade away, fade away

He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health

Shall fade away, fade away

Sometimes my life is full of vanity and lust

No love and no trust

No faith and no hope

Theres games but no jokes

I’m down to bring the pain and rob folks

Cause I’m scared of dying broke

And im fading

Im out there in the world and im blazing

And I recognize my blessing but I neglect to praise them

Fuck it im raising

It could be that im blessed indeed

But this shot at life is feeding my seeds

Rude boy living on a fun thing

We do things, we’ve done things, we run tings

We prefer to lead, then follow

Prefer to steal then to borrow

And know we ain’t promised tomorrow

And im fading

(Hook)

Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity

Shall fade away, fade away

He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health

Shall fade away, fade away

Since I was little with my rasta blade I’ve been paid

Ain’t afriad of getting blood on my clothes

And my crews brave

And my momma say I’ll send her to an early grave

But my momma been broke all the years she braved

As I lay me down to sleep

Thinking that they say we can inherit the earth that keep you weak

Im going to be the most ghetto fabulous on the street

I got an appetite that ravenous I’m dying to eat

And im fading

I’m out there in world and im blazing

And them boy dere think that there ready

But them boy dere are gazing, and yo

More time, I’m come and test there spine

I’ll get mine and on the road I’ll shine

And im fading

(Hook)

Those who seek vanity and no love for humanity

Shall fade away, fade away

He who checks for only wealth and not for his physical health

Shall fade away, fade away
