Yeah.
What's up?
My life is a vapor, man.
I'm a fade away, you know what I'm talking about? Huh, huh
So why would I chase things when I could chase King?
What's up, yeah.
A lot of people get caught up in this industry, man, this man
But the way I see it, I'm already on. Huh, huh.
Yeah. Let's go!
My life is a vapor I'm a fade out,
A couple years-I'm a fade out, man!
They won't even remember who Young Noah is about ten years from now. Huh, huh
They be like, "You remember that dude?"
They be like, "Who?" "You know, that dude?"
"No, don't know who you're talking about, man." Huh, huh. Yeah.
Yeah, only a few thing in this earth that I care about-
Sister punched me in the face and left me bleeding at the mouth.
Obituary statements send all amazements,
And everything you do, lands in the hands of fools.
Ecclesiastical unescapable average troop,
It's unimaginable I would ever chase after you.
World, kick a rock.
Not a swimmer? I'll push you off the dock.
Nobody wants to face the fact
That any day our hearts will stop.
And at that moment you will lose a lot.
Is your life invested in your land,
Or placed in his hands?
Be afraid; be very afraid.
If you gotta go and sleep in the bed that was made.
Wade-
In the water kids,
God's gonna trouble it.
We'll get out hillin' and be chillin' in the shade.
Selfish ambition and gain.
Direct contrast to the lamb that was slain.
Chasing in the street prophets of fame
Is only a cover up for your emptiness-pain.
I refuse to be chained
To seeking after, seeking after,
Flexing like it's done in his name.
Man, huh, I'm so content, eh
Y'all hungry for more? And that's all nonsense, eh
The return on that investment is vomit, eh
I don't want to eat throw-up, to blow up.
My life is a vapor; I'm a fade out.
A couple years later, I be played out.
Ain't nobody gon' remember me.
I couldn't care less about the industry, ay.
You gotta be kidding me,
I'd rather waste my life doing ministry, ay.
My life is a vapor I'm a fade out. (I'm a fade, man)
A couple years later I be played out.
I grew up; I screwed up.
Every opportunity I had to be anything blew up.
Sipped up the time, but Pop stepped out.
But there's a celebration in my home
When he left us alone.
I never knew the love of a father,
But love from big brother helped the kid recover.
I remember when I was venturin'
Down the wrong path.
But there you go again,
Reading scriptures then,
In the living room, sitting in the same chair
Looking up at me like, "Hey, you need me? I'm right here."
Yeah, He can smell that liquor on me,
He can smell that loud bet,
But He ain't turn his back upon me.
I wasn't saved in a church,
But when my brother prayed in the kitchen,
I was team switching.
And from that night I was never the same.
Blindness fell from my eye sockets-I called on His name.
I'm praying for my family:
Ma, Pa, Deedee, Joe, Alisha, and James,
Lincoln and Edwin, keep pressin' in, we're all checkin'
To His kingdom may we come in a couple of days.
I pray we get an encore from my Lord.
A standing ovation before takin'
The last bow ever, with all nations.
Our Father's in Heaven; He'll be waitin'.
My life is a vapor; I'm a fade out.
A couple years later, I be played out.
Ain't nobody gon' remember me.
I couldn't care less about the industry, ay.
You gotta be kidding me,
I'd rather waste my life doing ministry, ay.
My life is a vapor I'm a fade out.
A couple years later I be played out.
My life is a vapor, man.
I'm a fade away, you know what I'm talking about?
So why would I chase things when I could chase King?
