[Intro: TEC]: See to it, that no one takes you captive By philosophy and by empty deceit According to human tradition, according To the elemental spirits of the world and Not according to Christ (I'm fading away, I'm fading away) [Verse 1: R.E.F.]: To be hated ain't a thing to me it's a fact of life I tend to think That if he was hated before me I would be hated and lonely I don't smoke weed still wanna stone me (Still wanna stone me) I done lost friends that called me homie (They called me homie) But they lied through they teeth, wanna see me six beneath People fickle I'm still sick though, Spit these rhymes up in my sleep Ain't got no time to hear you speak, When d**h be flowing from your tongue But the breathren bread be leaven they ain't know where they belong So our voice be weak not strong, Our presence is ignored In a country where abortion is now part of the norm Sin is now the way, now the truth, now the life A godless people we've become, Man the church just isn't right A spineless society of religious mindless sheep We slowly fade to black we a giant lulled to Sleep
Play a new roll like mimes we will not speak And time ain't on our side but we hide as Jesus weeps [Hook: TEC]: I'm fading away I'm fading away I'm fading away I'm fading away [Verse 2: TEC]: So much noise, that my ears start ringing They standing for they rights, and the world starts singing Man, I don't even know what's gonna be the d**h of me But I know I'll speak up until that sniper snipes me Whether, they call me names and even if they stone me I'll carry on this mission, so they don't even know me But, they know Him, and follow these commands Go out and be the light and not belong to this land It's a critical time, and the church still quiet Scared that if we rise, these people won't buy it But we not for sale, I stand with the King And all you other Christian rappers just be careful what you sing And I know that this is not what y'all wanted to face But I cannot go blind while they degrade by faith Throw me in the furnace, heat it up times ten And watch me walk back out, saved by Him [Hook: TEC]: I'm fading away I'm fading away I'm fading away I'm fading away
