Fading away Lyrics by Ionika

the afterlife

2018

[Verse 1: MATCHA]
Aye, okay uh

Limitless, put 66% of my intellect into winning the internet
Psychedelic music’s different when you’re dealing it
Other side of the cigarette
Shit has got me reeling it’s like uh

"Mr. Krabs are you feeling it now?"
Shawty wanna celebrate like Cinco de Mayo
Making cross cultural love with Kalbi tacos and Pico de Gallo
I’m so different from all the other others and I kick 'em all out (aye)

Psycho, in Japan they call me Saikou
Cut all the extra rappers away, I’m like lipo
You'd put a whole crowd to sleep, you’re like NyQuil
Lit? More like 'lite' yo, that's a mothefuckin' typo

No need to eat when I am so full of ambition
I murder all these beats never run out of ammunition
Don’t call me Ethan Hunt cause impossible ain’t my mission
Fuse the old with the new, like I'm the remix to 'Ignition'

And if they sleeping on me, I'll make their dreams wet
The old counterculture: Count your days, I’m an extreme threat
You think you’re so dope with a vape, lean, and Supreme hat?
But aren’t y’all sick of taggin' each other in memes yet?

Cause I bring that new shit, clean like a Q-Tip
Don’t need a degree in Mech-E to prove it
If talent was easy, I’d happily lose it
For just 30 minutes of ad-free music

You're just the "Where’s My Hug” guy
If I made a film about you, it’d be called “A Bug’s Life”
Been in this for a minute and I love it already
Entertain while I tear my enemies up like confetti


[Break: J-Dilla]
When I make my music, you know what I'm sayin', like I want people to feel what I feel, I want them to feel that energy that I- whatever it was, yeah that's all it is! Cause I make it a type of art so it's like-

[Verse 2: MATCHA]
It’s true I always gotta check myself
Reflect in my rhythm, my disposition, but also my inner wealth
Had a habit of coming on too strong for too long
Now my cup of tea’s not giving a fuck or Oolong

I pull like a tractor and I push all the actors away
Like a trash compactor, it ain’t even a factor
In my calculations that I’m Asian, I just got a knack for it
Can’t get taxed for it, it ain’t work cause I asked for it

My spirit ain’t bread cause y’all ain’t breaking it up
David 저럼, I see the crown and I’m taking it, what?
Fuck up giants, my psalms sweeter than 백설기 떡
I’ll be up next before you can say "Wait 저기요!"

My writtens so meaty, got vegetarians convertin'
Blow their mind like I’m Tim Burton, when I’m pulling back the curtains
Behind every line there’s a punch, so I got 'em all hurtin'
More business in my rhymes than in the halls of Wharton

Concentration so good they want to send me to camp for it
I'm in it for the long haul, but you just ran Forrest
You’re just a memory I hold in hand, Yorick
Drivin' hard for us 'til I die, I can’t stop but I can floor it

There’s no rest 'til I establish my dynasty
No breaks 'til I’m the one the VIPs are all dying to see
I promise to myself there’s no one else that I’m tryna be
Already know I’ll never be fine until I’m fine with me

But Imma take this just beyond, don’t need no Bed Bath
You can try to talk some shit but you’ll just get smacked
Verbally, hyperboles 'til you’re speechless and you head back
Home where you’ll be pacin' and thinkin', "I should’ve said that!"

Killin' idol rappers, Imma be their last thought
Even if your squad was poppin' off, you’d only be the mascot
Rockin' the tight pants, a fedora, and an ascot
Mask off, one dimensional you’re just a snapshot

Released all this rage, mood change, and now a passport
And an empty cup to fill with skill is all I ask for
Shoutout Ionika for giving me this platform
For people who believe in me, for you I’m gonna transform

And y'all can all hate, but you're just like my hype men
Y’all power me up, like you a motherfuckin' Kaio-Ken
And soon all the labels, my phone they gon' be dialin'
So put another quarter in the game and try again
