[Intro] Yeah City lights on, smoke in the glass We don't fall, we fade slow This one's for the broken, the blessed, the blazed Let's go [Chorus] I'm too faded, darling, can't feel my pain Smoke in my lungs and love in my veins Streets keep talking, I just drift away Light my peace, let my spirit stay I'm too faded, darling, lost in sound Quiet and alone, I can't come down Shadows fall, but I still rise Fade through fire, I sanctify [Verse 1] Midnight in the borough, snow on the curb Dreams get sold for a chain and a word Mama lit candles, prayed for my soul But I chase smoke rings I can't control Old friends ghosted, the block got colder Life in a bottle, chip on my shoulder Whispers in alleys, angels in pain You can see my scars in the window pane Lock up with the vinyls, drums knock to find Break loops burn like incense and wine Shorty said, "Mijo, you too far gone" But I hear the choir when I'm holding on Now I'm floating, lost in the night City don't sleep, it just dims the light One eye open, hand on my heart I'm faded, darling, that's my art [Chorus] I'm too faded, darling, can't feel my pain Smoke in my lungs and love in my veins Streets keep talking, I just drift away Light my peace, let my spirit stay I'm too faded, darling, lost in sound Quiet and alone, I can't come down Shadows fall, but I still rise Fade through fire, I sanctify [Verse 2] Cold world, warm breath, cloud on my tongue Every line I write weighs a ton Latin blood, New York heart Boom bap gospel, that's my art Mix that Spanish soul with the corner pain Turn that hustle to a holy refrain Got a halo crooked, a cross made of chrome Every verse I spit is a prayer for home Cherry wood smoke, cigar in my teeth Beat thump heavy like the Bronx concrete If the choir call, I answer in rhyme I'm too faded, darling, but I'm still on time [Chorus] I'm too faded, darling, can't feel my pain Smoke in my lungs and love in my veins Streets keep talking, I just drift away Light my peace, let my spirit stay I'm too faded, darling, lost in sound Quiet and alone, I can't come down Shadows fall, but I still rise Fade through fire, I sanctify [Outro] Yeah Some of us ain't broken We just slow and slow Fade don't mean falling It's just learning how to let go
