[Intro]
[soft auto-tuned ad-libs over the loop]
Yeah… ayy…
Faded… crown heavy…
Uh-huh…
[Hook]
Pop a xan, take a sip of that purple rain
Got the money comin’ in but I still feel the pain
Faded in the whip, windows down in the rain
Crown on my head but it’s heavy with the fame
I been faded, yeah, faded all week
Chasin’ all these highs, tryna find some peace
She hit my line but I let it ring
Livin’ like a rockstar, but it don’t mean a thing
[Verse 1]
Came up from the bottom, now the views from the hills
Tats on my face, pockets full of bills
Used to dream ’bout this when I ain’t have a meal
Now the foreign in the driveway, matte black on the wheels
Ex hit my line say she miss the old me
But the old me was broke and the new me lonely
Bought the whole squad chains, now they all act funny
Said they had my back but the money make ’em switch up on me
Pour another four in the Sprite, watch it fizz
Tryna drown the thoughts of everything I miss
Diamonds on my neck but my heart still cold
Livin’ in the lights but I feel so alone
[Hook]
Pop a xan, take a sip of that purple rain
Got the money comin’ in but I still feel the pain
Faded in the whip, windows down in the rain
Crown on my head but it’s heavy with the fame
I been faded, yeah, faded all week
Chasin’ all these highs, tryna find some peace
She hit my line but I let it ring
Livin’ like a rockstar, but it don’t mean a thing
[Verse 2]
Studio lights on but my soul in the dark
Made a couple hits, now they call me a star
But the pressure buildin’, feel it in my heart
Pop another perc just to play my part
Friends turned to snakes when the check got long
Said they was real but they all gone
I been sippin’ heavy, tryna numb the stress
Hollywood dreams but it’s all a mess
Drive through the city with the windows tinted
Chasin’ all these highs but the high is finished
Got everything I wanted, still feel empty inside
Crown on my head but it’s heavy when I ride
[Bridge] [more melodic, almost sung]
I got everything I prayed for… but I lost what I need
Chasin’ all these lights… now I’m stuck in the scene
If I could go back… would I do it again?
Probably yeah… ’cause this money got me in the game
But sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the cost
All these nights alone… all these lines I crossed…
[Final Hook] [bigger — extra ad-libs & layers]
Pop a xan, take a sip of that purple rain (yeah)
Got the money comin’ in but I still feel the pain (ayy)
Faded in the whip, windows down in the rain
Crown on my head but it’s heavy with the fame
I been faded, yeah, faded all week
Chasin’ all these highs, tryna find some peace
She hit my line but I let it ring
Livin’ like a rockstar… but it don’t mean a thing
(Faded… crown heavy on me…)
Yeah… Posty…
[Outro]
[beat strips back to just the melodic loop + faint 808]
Faded crown…
Heavy on me…
Yeah… ayy
