[00:00.135]I was also gon' ask about your fear as an individual
[00:05.653]You know, it's plenty of people
[00:07.627]Feel a sense of security around you and kinda lean on you
[00:12.142]You ever feel like a certain amount of pressure from that?
[00:16.490]Do you ever get afraid?
[00:18.758]Of course I do, I mean everybody gets afraid sometimes
[00:22.248]What possibly could make you afraid?
[00:24.462]What are you afraid of? (afraid of, afraid of)
[00:27.814]I'm afraid, I'm afraid
[00:31.746]Sometimes I'm even afraid to admit
[00:33.850]I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the weight of my problems
[00:36.392]Haters workin' overtime, 8 or 9 jobs worth
[00:39.356]All these wanted ski masks bitches
[00:41.319]Old basketball shorts under jean ass bitches
[00:43.350]Need to know, I'm a product of a dead poet rhyming at his low
[00:47.037]Equals Mya Angelou, my emphatic flow can rise the status quo
[00:50.273]Lying on the padded floor, addict at it's best
[00:52.710]Eradicated from the fabricated
[00:54.300]Afraid of the thought of releasing music that's indicative
[00:57.023]Of where I'm at in life, will they like? Will they hate?
[00:59.629]The better question is if they hate it, is you down to pay the price?
[01:02.961]Outside (feat. Marsha Ambrosius & Robert Glasper) - Royce Da 5'9\", Robert Glasper, Marsha Ambrosius - Book of Ryan (Bonus Track Edition) - I'll look you right in your eyes and say, \"You ****in' right\
[01:05.670]Don't bother me with adversity
[01:07.124]I conquered more ground than King Kong could
[01:09.270]All I think about these days is mom good
[01:11.274]'Cause she diabetic, my daddy just had a cancer scare
[01:13.962]And do he still work at the post office? The answer's yeah
[01:16.679]I'm introverted, knowing that it's not about Oz
[01:19.030]Bigger problems outside
[01:20.117]There's a war going on outside
[01:23.600]That no man is safe from
[01:27.005]You see you can smile
[01:28.116]But that won't change the color of your skin
[01:31.924]But I'm the sinner (I'm the sinner)
[01:34.911]Yet you kick me, punch me, say don't trust me
[01:37.984]Shoot me down like I'm up to something
[01:40.682]Outside (feat. Marsha Ambrosius & Robert Glasper) - Royce Da 5'9\", Robert Glasper, Marsha Ambrosius - Book of Ryan (Bonus Track Edition) - **** with me and say I've deceived yo
[01:45.769]But how's that legal?
[01:48.171]Am I that evil? Why do you hate me?
[01:54.483]I'm afraid of you going to college and not acknowledgin'
[01:57.405]I'm your father 'cause you not proud enough
[02:00.247]But I fought hard to make sure you never see certain things that I'm a product of
[02:05.783]It's easy to confuse being a father
[02:07.912]With being a provider but all we got is us and I'm afraid to lose you
[02:12.916]You the coolest kid I ever saw, she did a good job with you
[02:15.875]Sometimes I hesitate to take credit for raisin' you too 'cause all I did was discipline
[02:20.539]I never taught you to ride a bike but we still a lot alike
[02:23.281]And you makin' music now? I wonder what made you wanna give this a spin
[02:27.079]You know what I'm about to say next, right? I'm afraid of you drinkin'
[02:31.123]Though I never taught you to swim, I'm afraid of you sinkin'
[02:33.659]I know I taught you to fight, you ain't in condition to win this
[02:36.576]You wired different
[02:37.773]Outside (feat. Marsha Ambrosius & Robert Glasper) - Royce Da 5'9\", Robert Glasper, Marsha Ambrosius - Book of Ryan (Bonus Track Edition) - You just ain't the bitch you friends is, it's scientifi
[02:40.214]Not my opinion so you know you genetically predisposed
[02:42.993]To more than just eating soul food, so I'm afraid of you to try to risk it
[02:47.808]You in a gene pool with a lot of sick fish
[02:51.157]And I'm the sickest of them all, alcoholics die when they stop from the symptoms of withdrawal
[02:56.336]Look out the window, tell me what you see
[02:58.809]Police shootin' brothers the color of you and me
[03:01.939]And they actin' like they hate us so you may just wanna love yourself enough to compensate it
[03:06.412]If I can say this, say this one thing, this one thing non-related
[03:10.509]You were never, ever, ever, better than me in basketball
[03:16.353]Pffft, hahaha! Yeah right, sure
