Don’t be Afraid

[Produced by 9th Wonder]

[Intro: Rapsody]

These gangs, these tats, these red and blue chucks

We some chill ass niggas, all you gots to show is love

I used to be afraid of fallin’ deep for a man

Cause my homies always said these fuckers just fans

My nigga, I told ‘em I ain’t scared of no obstacles

You live to die and die to live, that shit is all optional

Listen, you either with it or you isn’t

Here to fuck with my family? I ain’t scared to go to prison

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

(Don’t be afraid)

All my niggas live above the law

You scared of something nigga? Whatchu duckin’ under covers for?

I’m a problem to this game so they want me out

This a warning boy, you entering a haunted house (Don’t be afraid)

Nigga don’t fear it just respect it, adhere to the lesson nigga

(Don’t be afraid) Y’all niggas scared of a gun

My aunt told me fear stand for fuck everything and run

[Verse 1: Problem]

747 on the wakeup, lil mama got makeup all over my spreads

Kick her out then she hop in her Benz

Feeling satisfied, usually she put up a fuss, but I didn’t analyze

Funny, phone ring, it’s probly the money though

Lacing up the all white 1’s with the gummy sole

Check the mirror ‘fore I enter the earth

One thought when I’m hitting the turf

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

(Don’t be afraid)

All my niggas live above the law

You scared of something nigga? Whatchu duckin’ under covers for?

I’m a problem to this game so they want me out

This a warning boy, you entering a haunted house (Don’t be afraid)

Nigga don’t fear it just respect it, adhere to the lesson nigga

(Don’t be afraid) Y’all niggas scared of a gun

My aunt told me fear stand for fuck everything and run

[Verse 2: Bad Lucc]

Nike sweats, Jordan 2’s, don’t mind me I’m just setting the scene

I’m Bad Lucc by the way

I’ve done my share of interesting things, this life I was dealt

Some of the illest verses in these streets of LA was felt

Never turn from my position, my mission was clear

To stand down like a man when whatever sever my fear

Watch me, king of my castle, call your dogs

I’m black Superman above the law

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

(Don’t be afraid)

[Verse 3: Problem]

Huh, you see your enemy riding by and you realise

You ain’t got nine lives pussy

Old school player, I am beyond rookie

Schoolin’ everyday, no hookie

50k up under the black hoodie, no floss

Sucker shit I ain’t buying at no cost

Got five kids, I’mma put ‘em all in matching drop [?]

Talib drop this

[Verse 4: Rapsody]

I used to be fearful of Chucky and Freddie

I’m the doll they fall for like white chicks

Rick James on the couch shit, I sleep with machetes

Always ready

Mama said “fear no man” like Eddie

From [?] to run like Kunta your fearful eyes tearful, shed one

Cry me a river then drown you, I fear none

Boogie man tap dance on my tongue, boo, nigga

I fear for your career, if you niggas ain’t cool with us holla

[Verse 5: Bad Lucc]

Back to back wine toasts

Yesterday I went to sleep and fucked a fine ghost

In and out my mind Mos

Lee got me in the middle of rhyming my business

Rap gods please forgive us, all of us sinners

Still get a verse full of venom off

[?] Diamond Lane, Indie 500, men at war

I have a harder time with taxes

Knocking the earth off its axis
