Fade Away Lyrics by Crypt

Graveyard Shift (CD Version)

2022

[Intro]
I've been grindin' all night
But I will not fade away

[Chorus]
Yeah, I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been running towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight every day that I awake
But I will not fade away, I (I) can't (Can't) fade (Fade) away (No)

[Verse 1]
Rent is high, bills are due and they're just piling higher
This ride of life is spiraling, I might just light a fire
And dive inside of it 'cause I'm tired of tryin' to fight it
Quick as I try it, life grips its teeth and its bite gets tighter
Sometimes I wonder, am I here for reasons I don't know?
Why do I work this hard, yet progress seems to be so slow?
'Til I remеmber where I was just a fеw years ago
And would've killed to know what I know

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been running towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight every day that I awake
But I will not fade away (I can't fade away)
You can go ahead and try but I'll never take the bait
I'm the one that will survive, I'ma set the world ablaze
Say you work a nine-to-five, I've been working all day
'Cause I will not fade away (I can't fade away, no)

[Verse 2]
For the longest time, I'm the only one
That believed in me, but that was enough
The drive that I had could take me farther
Than any car, plane, or bus
'Cause I gave no fucks and I never gave up
On something I couldn't go a day without thinkin' about
Wanna tell me to stop rappin'
Well, rap saved my life more times than I can count
So I'ma keep doin' this shit, better grit your teeth
If you wanna keep them between your lips
I'm a beast when I spit, leavin' every single motherfuckin'
Beat deceased when I release and rip
I ain't ever come close to reaching my peak
So I catch my Z's while I let them speak
I ain't dead, but still I'ma rest in peace
Knowin' that I could do this shit in my sleep, yeah
I know right now things may not
Seem like they're the best, that's true
You've tried to make it work, but nothing does
You don't know what to do
I promise, I've been there
Life just seems like it's unfair
All your enemies succeeding
While you're pleadin' for some air
'Cause life is suffocating you
The struggle bus is taking you
Through ruts, it sucks, but just stay true
And toughen up 'cause days of new
Are on the rise, these trying times
Are blessings in disguise
And one day, you'll look back
And know that I'm right

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been grindin' all night, I've been grindin' all day
I've been running towards the light, I don't wanna fade away
I know that I'll have to fight every day that I awake
But I will not fade away (I can't fade away)
You can go ahead and try but I'll never take the bait
I'm the one that will survive, I'ma set the world ablaze
Say you work a nine-to-five, I've been working all day
'Cause I will not fade away (I can't fade away, no)

[Outro]
'Cause I've been grindin' all night
But I will not fade away
