Fade Away
Skiii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Friends into enemies, I turn that page
I used to rage when shit didn't go my way
Now I laugh and look at it like we all fade away
Hey, lemme play
A full game of life, roll the dice
Pass go never afraid of the heights
I had to fight, for all that I believe
The money
I start laughing they askin′ me what is funny
Was a druggy but I quit
Clarity in this bitch
Hello
Life is hard, this shit ain't a free throw
This a half court shot but I practised it a lot
I'm solid as a rock, boy we all part of the planet
Rest in Gods hammock, get charged up
This is my business, man I got a start up
Slow my speed but still got over the large bump and we keep going
No one believe what I′m sowing
I reap the benefits they see me I′m showing out, I learn
This in my nature like a muthafuckin' fern
The old me dead up in a urn
I sit it on the fireplace and watch that shit burn
Fuck a comfort zone
I′m not waiting for my turn imma go now
Got no reason to slow down
I hit the gas like I smoke pounds

I don't whether it makes me feel better or worse to see such a talented artist be so unrecognized for their skill. Makes me feel better about where I'm at, but worse about what the future brings. Keep doing you, Man! This shit is awesome and you ain't getting enough respect for it.
