Fading Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just sittin' in my window, throwin' down pennies to the hell below
Puffin' Afgoo with my kinfolk, wishin' for one day more
But once my senses burn... this one thing comes to light

[Chorus]
Life is fading, with each new day. Slippin' through my fingertips
And I keep waiting to wake up one day, and life not be like this...
Stuck in the gutter

[Verse 2]
What's pain? What's hurt?
What's life, if it's defined by dirt?
What's rich, if I still die a slave?
I came naked from the womb, I'll go naked to the grave
Until I make it to the grave, I'm fasho I'll...
Be feelin' empty like a junkie on a coke high
But how are you really supposed to feel once your folk die?
My only answer... get blowed 'til you're so high!
I can't believe we can't see that
The whole world's losin' it's mind tonight
And sooner or later you gotta be that
Or homie lose your mind tonight
But once our senses turn, this one thing comes to light [Chorus]
Life is fading, with each new day. Slippin' through my fingertips
And I keep waiting to wake up one day, and life not be like this...
Stuck in the gutter

[Verse 3]
I'll burn until my time is gone
Thinkin' about the times I've known
Everything that I've seen
Is enough to keep a madman feeling at home
I ain't never let go of the Bible...
But I ain't never let it's words try and change my life
When living day to day is about survival
Ain't a lot of thought put about living right
If we're living for nothing... we might as well die forever
With bullets flyin', and homeboys dyin'
How can I not think about the afterlife?
We fade like leaves, while all the sin that we seek
Is the wind, just blowin' us away!

[Chorus]
Life is fading, with each new day. Slippin' through my fingertips
And I keep waiting to wake up one day, and life not be like this...
Stuck in the gutter
