Jay Uf Fade Or Stop
This my chance where I, can stand a chance in life
And now I'm standing on the edge and I'm prepared to fly
I will not dare deny, that I was dead inside
But with the music I could choose to then repair the mind
And now I'm feeling like I'm flying right up to the top
You though I left but now I'm back to come and take the lot
I'll continue to just bring you every take I drop
No way will I change, I'm gonna make it, I won't fade or stop
Everyone want to know why; why try the rap shit?
I won't lie; I think at the time was '05
Drink at the park, would like to stay high
But I spit till a rhyme was ready; go time!
I'm work two jobs, so didn't know I was out with the boys on drugs most nights
With a pure voice, freestyle so I
But it's all good, what I went though
Who knew through tears would invent you
So when others got jobs, I would stay home a lot
Smoke pot with a book and a pen too
Ha ha, look where it got me
Better yet, have a listen to where it got me
ABK Records; who, what's that?
You just need to rap and then not be chat
Build a fan base up and we got your back
Have their back back when you rap your tracks
Too many people want a hand-out, with their hands out
Like they're gonna stand out in a damn crowd
For the ones putting work in their sound, can make a damn man change and a man proud
To the others, don't prove yourself, go practise your moves, you can lose as well
I'm a simple mind, but I tell the truth
Every letter I spell myself is true
Fans hear this, they know it's me
Every thought I record when I flow the beats
I won't stop or quit, nah
I got this shit, brah
I've made it too far to cave or lose, nah
I'm making moves fast, to pave my future
Will never let go, I'ma state my truth, brah, forever
This my chance where I, can stand a chance in life
And now I'm standing on the edge and I'm prepared to fly
I will not dare deny, that I was dead inside
But with the music I could choose to then repair the mind
And now I'm feeling like I'm flying right up to the top
You though I left but now I'm back to come and take the lot
I'll continue to just bring you every take I drop
No way will I change, I'm gonna make it, I won't fade or stop
Now I sit here thinking; how long till this ship be sinking?
When I think of this shit; I live this
Get it on a pad, quickly, as I think it
Not good, nah, not for the time being
Here's a little bit of life from what I've seen
Like I've got fly scene
I see clear, like in my dreams of the future where I'll be
And I might be wrong but I don't know
But you never will know if you don't show
I'ma give it all I got when I flow dope shit in the moment; capture my photos
And when we were kids, we were fiending, needing a reason to live
Then the sight got spoke; gave us a mic at precisely the right time, leaving a gift
So I wrote, then I wrote, then I wrote some more
Get better each day so I wrote some more
At the time never thought about what's in store
Now I got an album, I'll drop it in stores
And I can not change my past but the way that I put 'em in bars
Creating a path that will lead me to success, make a mark
But to get there I gotta play my part
And I'm hoping that I won't quit, don't think that I can, I'm addicted to it
The bar's set high, now I'm lifting it
I won't sit or just quit, shit, I live for this
You have to low down, you have to know now
My raps have no bounds, attracted both crowds
Passion grows out to rep my hometown
Never gave up and the fans are so proud now
This my chance where I, can stand a chance in life
And now I'm standing on the edge and I'm prepared to fly
I will not dare deny, that I was dead inside
But with the music I could choose to then repair the mind
And now I'm feeling like I'm flying right up to the top
You though I left but now I'm back to come and take the lot
I'll continue to just bring you every take I drop
No way will I change, I'm gonna make it, I won't fade or stop
