[Verse One: The Cartier]
Hey, look at the life that we've made
Came for the water but stayed for the wave
Pray that my people get plenty of pennies
But me I just push to pop off on the stage
Hey, look at the life that we made
Pull up and then I get paid
I still remember the days of audacity
Talking about trapping but now I am actually moving the team
How many states, I would not be here without my mistakes
Without all the edits and hundreds of takes
Without all the people that keeping me straight
Hey hey look at the life that we made
Running it back again just for the fakes
Head down to Athens we tripping we trapping
We get that sh** smacking then back up to base
[Hook x2]
Don't fade, pray we dont fade
All we know is work
And I pray we don't fade (don't fade)
[Verse Two: King Cole]
It was last month and the winter cold
And I can't hide from the snow
I was burrowed into my common sense
And had lost all of my goals
I was crippled in and cached
With a whole a gang of these bag raiders
I looked up and I saw the sign
That I can't hide from what my craft made me
I crashed in and I came through
When I crossed over with the same crew
I crept when in, we was slept on
Kept the truth if they wanna claim who
Really picked culture up
Really turned on its head
Really kicked the coffin off
They wedlocked to the chopping block
But I refuse to fade to the ambience
[Hook x2]
Don't fade, pray we dont fade
All we know is work
And I pray we don't fade (don't fade)
Bridge:
Dont fade…
Dont fade…
