Fear Us

[Chorus: Awich]

Feels like the world's watching you

Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?

What are you scared of?

What are you scared of?

The future's in front of you

I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No

Truth is they fear us

Truth is they fear us

[Verse 1: Awich]

They aim the red dot on the heart of a lion

Been through the fire and back check my bio

God used to test me “define the defiance”

“Black, brown, yellow earth, how you see the science?”

You can come to butcher shop

We can really chop it up

I'm just trying to make it out

They keep us on a chopping block

Grandpa told me war stories

How they gave up on Oki

Now them GIs my homies

And trust me, I seen them cry like

How we gonna fight a war for a country that brings us hell?

How we gonna change the world when we can't even change ourselves?

What do we fear the most?

To be blinded and lost, so we hurt each other

Freedom is at our cost

Who the fuck think you are? I had to ask my heart, so much weight on my shoulder

I can never sleep, no, no

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]

Feels like the world's watching you

Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?

What are you scared of?

What are you scared of?

The future's in front of you

I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No

Truth is they fear us

Truth is they fear us

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]

Got me on my fight the power shit

What are we supposed to fight the power with?

I ain't equipped to go to war with politics

And I really can't afford a scholarship

Mama thought I'd never see colleges

Now I'm giving lectures for all the kids

Use my mind like a weapon, it's all it is

Just trying to spread the message, it's all legit

Tell me how we gon to change the world when we can't even change ourselves?

And how are we going to fight a war for a country that bring us hell?

I think we need some help

Pray to God I won't fail

Might as well feel my brothers in the jail

Living in the cell

Only time will tell

[Chorus: Awich & Joey Bada$$ & RZA]

Feels like the world's watching you

Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?

What are you scared of?

What are you scared of?

The future's in front of you

I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No

Truth is they fear us

Truth is they fear us

(What’s the science, GOD?)

[Verse 3: RZA]

Let your light shine through the trials of time

Until you illuminate the darkest space inside your mind

Without a dimmer

We shimmer so the world can see the splendor

And the glimmer of our glory from the outer to the inner being

Seeing is believing

Giving and receiving

The life that guides the human beings

Does free yourself-bondage from carnal carnage

Let your light shine, give God the homage

A circle in a circle, a wheel within a wheel

Always shining, always spinning, enlightening all that's real

Draw it up to a fine mist and let it distill

I see the future from a lighthouse over the hill

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me how we gon to change the world

When we can't even change ourselves?

And how are we going to fight a war for a country that bring us hell?

Think we need some help

Pray to God I won't fail

Might as well feel my brothers in the jail

Living in the cell

Only time will tell

[Chorus]

Feels like the world's watching you

Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?

What are you scared of?

What are you scared of?

The future's in front of you

I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No

Truth is they fear us

Truth is they fear us
