Faded Too Long (feat. Steel Da God)

I been getting faded too long So I’m home alone, I’m playing this song Life been feeling jaded too long And I’m wondering why i waited so long Fuck! They killed my nigga Nip tho I used to bump Ocean Views on every single trip tho Grew up in Southside, my cousin was a Crip tho The Marathon Continues, your spirit will forever live bro I’m on the phone, Robinhood, selling off my crypto Instead fake money, I rather bet on myself I got 5 options to gather my wealth And when this mixtape drop, its just another notch on my belt! Nah, you don’t know my pressure My moms feeling sick again, she’s under the weather Im 2 thousand milles away, just hoping that she feels better The only black man at my job and they label me the aggressor My manager ain’t my ally, that motherfucker is my oppressor Now I’m smoking weed, taking the edge off the pressure I’m working out, trying to get my headspace (Health Is Wealth!) Big chip on my shoulder starting to feel like it’s dead weight Man, I just get rich and praying everyday (G.R.A.P.E.) But I gotta be mindful Of what I say everyday And how I look and how I’m dressed Because the wrong cop could take my blackness as a threat And kill my ass with no regret Being black in America is a constant state of distress We curate the culture and everybody thinks that we’re blessed But we’re fighting a system thats designed to keep us oppressed And trying to climb this corporate ladder has me fucking depressed (Fuck this job!) Yo, I been getting faded too long Thats why I’m home alone, I’m playing this song Ay yo, life been feeling jaded too long But I cant give up, I got to stay strong They calling me the man, I’m just doing my best Im Handsome, I take compliments close to the vest I rather play in playroom, then Play day rooms On a stretch Gotta maneuver to these bands These hoes is getting checked From that corner to this corner office This 3-piece and these Cole Haan feet’s is only meant for bosses I’m up now but took a lot of losses See we was wildin’ on that block like Rasheed In our air forces More to lose, But I’m built for it I’m from a town, That done lost hope Killed kids, now they starve for it 10 years in but he 30 now Consequences Sat him down Police shot him down For trying to change the town See we was given back! We was really hood! Black King’s spreading wings Like I know we should In a time where police play the role of Suge And death row be yo block in ya neighborhood I been getting faded too long Wondering where a nigga belong I been feeling jaded too long I bossed up now they respect my arm I been getting faded too long Thats why I’m home alone, I’m playing this song Ay yo, life been feeling jaded too long Im trying to get high… The fuck am I on? Im rolling another loud pack Shortly looking at me like she bout that She chopping up lines up on the counter, acting like she’s not smacked Another hood rat that fell in this mouse trap
