Glory fades and glory days ain’t always what they seemGive all I got and make my salaat and dream my broken dreamsI crawl inside, ball up and hide, tuck my pain awayAnd hope to God I fall into a sleep where I can stayWe all got bills to settle, we all got a price to payAnd if I make it through the night I can fight another dayThey say it’s better to burn out than it is to fade awayI just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay[Verse 1: Slaine]It was a couple of years ago that I started becoming numbNo one could understand where all my words were coming fromHaving visions of a nine-to-five, a wife, a blunt, a sonOf a life of hustle getting by with some of the running gunIs it best to be a crumb? My ex says he’s a bumLashing out in violence whenever my destiny it hungIn the balance, rum, I’m drinking gallons, some think that my flowsAre more poetic than the poems of Edgar Allen PoeBut I know that I’m at a challenge thoughI can hold an old Calico to my dome and let my talents goS**t, I spent my whole life around the violence soI planted seeds of hate oh I let my habits growI slept with the homeless, I copped with the fiendsLost the love inside my heart, I even forgot what it meansSeen the ripest nights turn into the rottenest schemesBut through it all I have never forgotten my dreams[Hook]When the gutters fill with blood that’s spilled from friends that pass awayAnd memories of eulogies while standing by their gravesJust trying to survive we wind up living lives like slavesI hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stayWe all got beef to settle, we all got demons to slayAnd if I pray all through the night I can fight another dayThey say it’s better to burn out than it is to fade awayI just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay[Verse 2: Ill Bill]Rest in peace to my homie SobI stand before an altar of open sepultures and coffinsI heard Javier got killed, it didn’t seem realWith an army of goons drinking straight vodka to dealWe live and die by the gun, wear our hearts on our sleevesEven though our compassion’s destined to die on the streetsWhat’s left over a cold hollow murder machineWith an appetite for malevolence, perversion, and greedWhen one of us dies we don’t really learn anythingOutside the funeral doing bumps, burning treesPlotting revenge, crying over fallen angelsSometimes your friends die the most awkward strangersI can’t lie, sometimes this life makes me a stranger to myselfBut I’m pulling myself together, it’s bigger than just meAs I spit this bear witness to truthMy unborn seed listens while I spit in the booth[Hook]Glory fades and glory days ain’t always what they seemGive all I got and make my salaat and dream my broken dreamI crawl inside, ball up and hide, tuck my pain awayAnd hope to God I fall into a sleep where I can stayWe all got bills to settle, we all got a price to payAnd if I make it through the night I can fight another dayThey say it’s better to burn out than it is to fade awayI just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay
