Fadin by TJ Stafford Lyrics
Take a look around
You think
It's life you've found
Don't know
That you're alone
You've finally found
The dream
That girls and money bring
But you're livin' all alone
Getting cash
And another high
Living fast
For a name in lights
But life
Keeps fadin away
Lookin' good
For the camera lights
Fake smiles
And the hazy nights
And life
Keeps fading away
Playin' the game again
Where pretty people win
Livin' high
And dyin' slow
You can make it rain for days
And you can buy yourself some praise
Gain the world
But lose your soul
Getting cash
And another high
Living fast
For a name in lights
But life
Keeps fadin away
Lookin' good
For the camera lights
Fake smiles
And the hazy nights
And life
Keeps fading away
This is dedicated
T T To all the frustrated
Underpaid makin' minimum wage
Suck between angry
And afraid
Yeah maybe it's a phase
But what will happen
When that maybe
Turns into a maze
With no way out
Feelin' crazy and deranged
Because all the sunshine's
Buried underneath the rain
I've been through a few storms
Every new fad to the new norm
Live and I learn
Like a school dorm
But I'm writin'
Til I find the quotes
And write words
That can try to show you
How to try to cope
And stay afloat
Until you find your boat
Please don't exchange hope
For a line of coke
I'm being vocal
When approaching you
What am I supposed to do
Life is a game
But the player isn't coachable
So I made a choice
Not to do it
For the social group
And give my all
International or local show
Getting cash
And another high
Living fast
For a name in lights
But life
Keeps fadin' away
Lookin' good
For the camera lights
Fake smiles
And the hazy nights
And life
Keeps fading away
I'm tryin' to talk
But you're tellin' me
To back off
Please dog
Not today
You have a problem
But you wanna run away
Like a model
On a catwalk
So here's what I gotta say
That it helps
To build character
When you goin' through it
Like a hallway
Feelin' like a big fish
In a small place
No room to grow
Feelin' insignificant
And out of tune
Like a bad instrument
This is when you implement
Faith through discipline
And never be homeless
Where God is where
You're livin' in
I know dealin'
With everyday stress
Gets crazy
When life is
A female dog
Through Christ
She's a lady
Here I can prove it
No need to convince
Everything makes sense
When you listen
To the music
I don't do it
For the thank yous
Or the you're welcomes
When the end
Of my health come
I wanna hear
Servant well done
Getting cash
And another high
Living fast
For a name in lights
But life
Keeps fadin' away
Lookin' good
For the camera lights
Fake smiles
And the hazy nights
And life
Keeps fading away
You think
It's life you've found
Don't know
That you're alone
You've finally found
The dream
That girls and money bring
But you're livin' all alone
Getting cash
And another high
Living fast
For a name in lights
But life
Keeps fadin away
Lookin' good
For the camera lights
Fake smiles
And the hazy nights
And life
Keeps fading away
Playin' the game again
Where pretty people win
Livin' high
And dyin' slow
You can make it rain for days
And you can buy yourself some praise
