    [bad word]  Everlast]

    Glory fades and glory days ain't always what they seem
    Give all I got and make my salaat and dream my broken dreams
    I crawl inside, ball up and hide, tuck my pain away
    And hope to God I fall into a sleep where I can stay

    We all got bills to settle, we all got a price to pay
    And if I make it through the night I can fight another day
    They say it's better to burn out than it is to fade away
    I 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 [bad word] numb
    No one could understand where all my words [bad word] from
    Having visions of a nine-to-five, a wife, a blunt, a son
    Of a life of hustle getting by with some of [bad word] gun
    Is it best to be a [bad word]  My ex says he's a bum
    Lashing out in violence whenever my destiny it hung
    In the [bad word]  I'm drinking gallons, some think that my flows
    Are more poetic than the poems of Edgar Allen Poe
    But I know that I'm at a challenge though
    I can hold an old Calico to my dome and let my talents go
    [bad word]  I spent my whole life around the violence so
    I planted seeds of hate oh I let my habits grow
    I slept with the homeless, I copped with the fiends
    Lost the love inside my heart, I even forgot what it means
    Seen the ripest nights turn into the rottenest schemes
    But through it all I have never forgotten my dreams

    [bad word] 

    When the gutters fill with blood that's spilled from friends that pass away
    And memories of eulogies while standing by their graves
    Just trying to survive we wind up living lives like slaves
    I hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay

    We all got beef to settle, we all got demons to slay
    And if I pray all through the night I can fight another day
    They say it's better to burn out than it is to fade away
    I just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay

    [Verse 2: Ill Bill]

    Rest in peace to my homie Sob
    I stand before an altar of open sepultures and coffins
    I heard Javier got killed, it didn't seem real
    With an army of goons drinking straight vodka to deal
    We live and die by the gun, wear our hearts on our sleeves
    Even though [bad word] s destined to die on the streets
    What's left over a cold hollow murder machine
    With an appetite for malevolence, perversion, and greed
    When one of us dies we don't really learn anything
    Outside the funeral doing bumps, burning trees
    Plotting revenge, crying over fallen angels
    Sometimes your friends die the most awkward strangers
    I can't lie, sometimes this life makes me a stranger to myself
    But I'm pulling myself together, it's bigger than just me
    As I spit this bear witness to [bad word]     My unborn seed listens while I spit in the booth

    [bad word] 

    Glory fades and glory days ain't always what they seem
    Give all I got and make my salaat and dream my broken dream
    I crawl inside, ball up and hide, tuck my pain away
    And hope to God I fall into a sleep where I can stay

    We all got bills to settle, we all got a price to pay
    And if I make it through the night I can fight another day
    They say it's better to burn out than it is to fade away
    I just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay
