Hit Then Fade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was on the block, just mindin' my lane Cold on my face, then the air went strange Heard them shots pop, had to duck and lean Whole scene spun when it came for me I got clipped once, then my knees went light Eyes all blurred and I lost that sight My homie yelled, "Yo, stay low, stay down" I was trippin' hard, couldn't feel that ground [Pre-Chorus] Everything slowed when the panic hit Hands in the dirt, tryna make sense of it Heart too loud, I could taste that fear Then the whole world rang in my ear [Chorus] Hit then fade, hit then fade I was gone when the shots got made Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I stayed awake (stay awake) Hit then fade, hit then fade Only smoke where the night got played Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I made it back [Verse 2] Pale moonlight on the cracked-up curb My name in the dark was the only word Tried to stand up, but my legs said nah Saw my whole life in a jagged flash One wrong step and the crowd got thin Everybody ran when the fear stepped in I kept my head, even when it spun I ain't done yet, I still got one [Pre-Chorus] Everything slowed when the panic hit Hands in the dirt, tryna make sense of it Heart too loud, I could taste that fear Then the whole world rang in my ear [Chorus] Hit then fade, hit then fade I was gone when the shots got made Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I stayed awake (stay awake) Hit then fade, hit then fade Only smoke where the night got played Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I made it back [Bridge] From the ground, I learned that night Every second can split your life I seen the end, then I seen the dawn Now I'm here, still movin' on [Final Chorus] Hit then fade, hit then fade I was gone when the shots got made Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I stayed awake (stay awake) Hit then fade, hit then fade Only smoke where the night got played Hit then fade, hit then fade I was trippin' out, but I made it back
