[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… Outro: 19 to the 07 (x6)
