About This Track

Released on 5th November 2015 as the third single from 'The Incredible True Story', 'Fade Away' finds Logic writing and producing alone. The track sits within the conceptual framework of his second studio album, released through Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings.

The song confronts mortality head-on, built around the refrain 'They gon' know my name until it fade away'. Logic has described the piece as an acceptance of death, anchored by the belief that every name, no matter how prominent, will eventually be forgotten. The first verse touches on systemic failures and the precariousness of daily life, whilst the second pushes towards reinvention and a perspective beyond immediate circumstances. The production is sparse, letting the lyrical preoccupation with legacy and impermanence hold the centre.

"Fade Away" is a track by Logic, from the album The Incredible True Story, released 5th November 2015. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Fade Away

[Produced by Logic]

[Ad-Libs]

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

Uh a-ah, yeah, uh, uh, yeah yeah

[Intro]

All day (All day), everyday (Everyday)

We was on that block until we made a way (We made a way)

Day to day, man that's the only way (Only way)

They gon' know my name until it fade away

[Chorus]

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade—

(Way, way, way), uh, fade away

Uh, they gon' know my name until it fade away

(Okay, okay)

[Verse 1]

I been there, I done that, done that, this rap shit I run that

Motherfucker this far from a comeback, if one of us fall then we run back

Can't let that social worker just snatch up my kin, gotta get my son back

'Cause when they coming through that system don't give a fuck about you (You, you, you)

Everybody gonna die, gonna go one day, maybe it'll happen on a Monday

Driving to work and get hit by a Hyundai, fuck it, let it all go one day

I know, I'ma get it like this, living that life while they all reminisce

Never regretted, the second I said it I feel like I'm smarter, I read it on Reddit

You're fucking pathetic, my etiquette murder ya predicate, bitch I'm ahead of it, yeah

Yes I'ma die but I don’t wonder why in the hell I'ma ride in the dead of it, yeah

I know, know, life on Earth is so unpredictable

Okay-kay, hold up let me say yes I fade away

[Chorus]

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade a— uh

(Way, way, way), fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade away

(Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]

Tell me what I wouldn't wanna give for a life like this, arm and a leg quite like this

Fuck around wanna fight like this, take a hike like this

I might just, might just, I don't know

Reinvention, that's my intention

Want so much more than this third-dimension

That's not to mention my true ascension is a bigger picture

No metaphor, I’m being real with ya

But it will hit ya like, "goddamn!"

Going HAM, full of all of them

In a spaceship, I’m in another system

So futuristic, on another mission

But back on Earth everybody bitchin', I been in the kitchen

Livin' my life—no inhibition, life to death with no intermission

Now the good book said we all the same, and we kill each other but it's all in vain

And we all to blame, can't see the picture when it's out the frame

Real talk, I wanna grip the grain and just ride with ya, build a family then die richer

When ya get to heaven I'ma come and get ya

Sit back and really get the picture

This life, yeah, it done ate away, hard times never stayed away

But one thing I know day to day, I'ma do somethin' 'fore I fade away

[Chorus (Extended)]

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade—

(Way, way, way), fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade away

Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade—

(Way, way, way), fade away

They gon' know my name until it fade away

[Skit: QUENTIN THOMAS (Steven Blum), WILLIAM KAI (Kevin Randolph) & THALIA (Anna Elyse Palchikoff)]

THOMAS: Get the upgrade?

KAI: Nah, man. It’s the same shit with a different title!

THALIA: That’s not true, Kai

KAI: What the fuck?!

THOMAS: Yeah, man. They didn’t just upgrade features, they enhanced her A.I

KAI: So she can actually hold a conversation?

THOMAS: Yeah. Ask her yourself

KAI: Uh, what am I thinking, Thalia?

THALIA: Kai, I’m a program in the ship’s interface, not a psychic

KAI: Damn, girl!

THOMAS: Yeah, that’s another thing now. She’s unisex

KAI: What?!

THOMAS: Thalia, integrate Y chromosome feature

THALIA: Sure thing, Thomas. Would you like a standard accent or something a little more exotic?

KAI: Holy shit!

THOMAS: Told you, man. The upgrade’s crazy. Thalia, revert last command and run simulation

THALIA: Running simulation

KAI: Man, what the hell is that?

THOMAS: Well, you can pick anyone in history, and based off a collection of data, it allows you to personally speak with them

KAI: Anybody?

THOMAS: Anybody

KAI: Thalia, do Big Sean

THOMAS: All right, let me get this straight. You can speak with anyone in recorded history, like Jesus, Steve Jobs, Einstein, and you pick Big Sean?

KAI: Man, fuck yeah! That’s my dog!

THOMAS: *Laughs* Okay. Thalia, simulate Big Sean

THALIA: What up Kai, you lil' bitch?

KAI: Yeah, I'ma have to upgrade my shit
