Fading - Crucifix

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

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

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

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

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!

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
