Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Million Stylez's song "Fade Away," featuring Jr Byles, revolve around the idea of vanity and material possessions leading to one's downfall. The song begins with the assertion that life is not about material things like money and bling, but rather about meaningful pursuits that benefit humanity. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that those who seek only vanity without any love for humanity will fade away. The first verse talks about the singer not having any luxuries but prioritizing the righteous path guided by the almighty. The bridge highlights the widening gap between the rich and poor, where the rich get richer, and the little possessions of the poor are taken away. In the second verse, the lyrics delve deeper into the obsession with material things and how it leads to madness and insanity. The singer urges the ghetto youth to be strong-minded and brave and not succumb to the allure of materialism.

The song conveys a powerful anti-materialistic message that is relevant to society's obsession with material possessions. The lyrics emphasize that pursuing things like money and bling can ultimately lead to a downfall, whereas prioritizing the righteous path and being mindful of one's actions can bring everlasting success. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this message and highlights the gravity of the situation.

He who seeks of only vanity and no love for humanity shall fade away fade away, (fade away do u hear what I say)he who seeks of only vanity and no love for humanity shall fade away fade away
A person who is only focused on personal gain and doesn't care for others will eventually disappear and be forgotten.

I may not have fancy cars, gold, or diamonds, but I follow the path of righteousness because I know God guides and protects me. Selling your soul to the devil will eventually lead to your downfall. I give thanks to God and realize that life is precious, so I use my music to spread positivity.

Di richer gettin richer everyday, hey yeay, and di likkle that di poor man got, it shall be taken away, hey yo yo, Same ting a gwan all di way from stocktown to J.A, u too vain then yu surely fade away jr weh ya say
The rich continue to accumulate wealth while the poor struggle to keep what little they have. This is a problem all over the world. If you're too focused on yourself and your possessions, you will eventually disappear, as Jr Byles warns.

Yo ey it go so, mi bun materialistic mind cause dem a victims of vanity, dem wan see more money come in than stars in di galaxy, what di media show today is not reality, it went from madness to straight insanity, babylon a bakkle mi but dem cyan nevah takkle mi, no matta wah dem a do ghetto youth yo yu got to be, strong minded keep a brave heart and follow mi, big man nah tell mi bout apology mek mi tell yu why
I reject materialism because those who indulge in it are consumed by their own vanity. Money and success are not as important as they are made out to be in the media. Society has become increasingly irrational and unreasonable. Even when faced with oppression, you must stay strong and brave. The big man can't make me apologize because I simply speak the truth.
