Some people say I'm living off my reputation
Maybe their right but I was given nay-thin
From not playing my songs to dj's who praised him
It went to his head so how can u blame him
Like the girl who loved him and he cheated she forgave him
Its hard to see the stars when you're living in the basement
This games like an old bitch I'm givin her a facelift
Marley said a ghetto education is basic
But everything they taught me I learnt I was patient
So. I was in the kitchen cooking with an apron
While they were out every night pissed raving
I was learning how to use the tools to build my spaceship
Proud of who I am so I'ma rep it like I'm Asian
But judge me on my music not my colour fuckin racists
I was so close to the top that I could taste it
Only got myself to blame I became complacent
Fell from grace don't think anyone can save him
Even the devil was an angel before he was Satan
Its blatant...
I'm fading (fading fading fading away)
Slowly fading (fading fading away)
It was beautiful music that embraced him
Together with his parents and his family they raised him
Smart for my age so I felt kinda caged in
So I been chillin now everybody is overtaking
Need to get a grip into gear and start chasing
Everybody else got a blueprint their tracing
I'm sitting in amazement Feeling kinda ashamed
Cos I shoulda never strayed and delayed what I made
Now its aged and I'm fading
But let me say that I was aiming
At reaching a stage
Where the music I gave
To the world was embraced
But its changed
Now the aim of the game aint the same its
Not about the talent its about being famous
The picture I painted rotted now its tainted
And I don't wanna frame it so leave me I'm fading
I'm fading (fading fading fading away)
Slowly fading (fading fading away)
