Faded Too Long ft. Steel Da God Lyrics

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
