Faded

Purpose

[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
