Fear

[Intro] Fear is nothing more than a feeling You feel hot You feel hungry You feel angry You feel afraid Fear can never kill you [Verse 1: Tonedeff] Now who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? That’s if you can admit it if you get that shook Cause everyone’s been in a bit of a pinch that looked a bit bad Couldn’t predict that you would live past where you stood I’m scared of God coming back, asking if I’ve read his big black book While I’m mid-splash up in a bitch’ ass in a bath room Nothing gets stashed if you live crass under a glass roof I’m afraid, but I act natural. On tours I can’t sleep Hoping there’s nothing we crash through, while on board in the back seat Since I nearly lost my life and my wife in a taxi The echos of the impact retroactively attack me I’m afraid of having a baby that lacks feet Afraid of rugged terrain and plunging a plane head first in a vast sea I’m afraid of any school-aged child that packs heat Or the feeling of not being able to wake up from a bad dream I’m afraid of wasting years of my life on this rap scene Or Seeing my mother pass without grasping the brass ring So many tragedies happen in mass on the flat screen But it’s never as real as hearin’ your family’s last screams Cause god didn’t make us to die! (so what?) So fear is an interim instinct given to keep us alive So when you feel the chills reel up your spine And the adrenaline fills you, don’t stress Cause fear can still kill you [Hook] [Verse 2: Mecca] I’m known as a brave guy But to say I’m fearless is to say lies Some I might have until my days die My fears are few, but powerful When the days done and your demons come to devour you and kill if you allow them to Feelings I’m familiar with known as a grown man Heart pounding will make your spine shudder like a cold hand Nothing logical about it, wild, irrational, makin' your mind clouded Can you explain yours? I doubt it Why do thoughts of failure make me uptight I don’t swim Cause the fear drowning wakes me up nights I don’t win Stare the nightmare in the eye when I stood at my pop’s grave Was not afraid of death, but with his I was not brave He was proud but didn’t live to see me a make hot stage I cry to see his pride when I rock and got praised That’s why I spot days, it’s more than a clock’s hours Refusal let the fear block power [Verse 3: Session] Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo I’m 23 started writing in my late-teens Got with PMD’s Hitsquad when I was 18 Thinkin' I’m the nicest My first song of great means Naive, thinkin' I’m one step away from this great dream Had plans for the top even had fans on my jock Listenin' to my old shit, I know why my manager stopped callin' Gotta take advantages, not often niggas want to put you on I need a hand just to stop fallin' Fall away from my dreams And I didn’t go to college cause your boy was supposed to go all the way to the green All the way to the scene of Biggie’s performance on ‘The Show' Imagine I saw my face on the screen, damn I try to tell myself “I won’t fail" But if I do ain’t no "Oh well" What the fuck do I do if I don’t sell? I’m scared that I’m wasting my life being Joe Schmoe with no dough I'mma take a .44 and I’m wasting my life, fuck that [Hook] [Verse 4: PackFM] You may think I’m frontin', but let me tell you I ain’t scared of nothin' And nowadays you always gotta be prepared for somethin' Cause life is a game that we play The chips fall where they may but most times you don’t land where you want to There were days when I would have said I was afraid of heights When I was younger I couldn’t go to sleep without the lights But when I got over it I really started noticin' We only fear a situation when we ain’t controllin' it I would have seen more scary movies if somebody woulda told a kid That when you turn the TV off the monsters go away You know they say there’s nothing to fear, but being afraid And I’m afraid I never seen the difference being scared made Except for opportunities to advance going to waste I never ran so you ain’t got to worry about me giving a chase I don’t give a fuck If I’m cornered with a barrel to my face And niggas claiming that they really ain’t afraid to catch a case That’s bullshit Cause a nigga that was ‘bout it would’ve pulled it And the fear in his eyes say he ain’t go not bullets Then, once I realize that he ain’t gonna do shit Be afraid, I got one too dog, and I ain’t afraid to use it
