Lyrics

Yeah
Faded, faded so long, yeah
Yo, let it ride a little
It's been too long, you know
Listen,
I've been faded too long
Yeah, feels like I've waited so long
Like when's the money gon' come along?
I used to ask myself every night, why you drinking alone?
I mean a lot's on my shoulders and plus I never had a floater
So any dreams of the league have been over, but then I noticed
As I've gotten older, that I've gotten closure
Through the hope of living that life I'm supposed to
'Cus the game that I proposed to
I'm just hoping to make the most of this shit
So forgive me for being so distant
I've been flipping through pages and pages of old pictures
With the hopes of replicating those old feelings, yeah
It's like a piece of me is gone, but at least hope isn't
And everybody's got a different way of coping with it
But for me, I drink a bottle 'till I'm soaking in it
Then hit up hoes, just to fuck 'em 'till I'm over with it
'Cus best kind of sex is "dry your mess, then find your dress"
'Cus at least you'll never feel the need to hide a text
Now I never said that's something to be proud of
I'm just telling you the truth 'cus that's what I expect
"If you want success, what you willing to do for it?"'s
What they ask me, never knowing I would die for less
I know the time will test and we'll see who'll survive the rest
So I guess I'll see you if you make it to the end
It's been too long
Way too long
Yeah
Momma told me that she noticed that the same people ain't close to me
If only I told her the truth, they'd rather hold their breath than toast to me
Truthfully, at points, the table had no open seats
Until they showed their true colors, now it's just ghosts and me
Sometimes I wake up to the sounds of crowds cheering for me
God knows I got no more, he got the clouds tearing for me
So no wonder why it's raining while I'm writing this
Lies on your mother's life, you think she'd be alright with it?
Your casket gon' be full with all the lies you took with you
But the jokes on me, believed the eyes I looked into
And told some people that them stories 'bout you wasn't true
Even though I knew the truth and that they had me like --
Nah, for real though
I'll admit it though, I'll admit it
This is definitely going into-
The girls' group chat, huh?
Yeah, I'll admit it though, I admit it
You had me, you had me
Alright, you know?
