MC Lars, Charlyne Yi , Watsky - Never Afraid lyrics

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid

LARS:

On a big blue couch in
The corner of the kitchen
We went on many missions
And amazing expeditions
Flying through the pages on
That Magic School Bus
Shel Silverstein rode shotgun
But it was up to us
To peel apart the layers and
Search for the dragons
The cats wearing hats
Curious George and Peter Rabbit
The newest freshest books? Mom
Always brought 'em home
Then in high school it was Steinbeck
Keats and Edgar Allan Poe wATSKY:
Don't let the memories fade
We've got to make 'em last
I was still a baby when Grandma Katy passed
And passed on her hardcover novels
With the Sutherland nameplates
Our family gospel
'Cause, I'm not sure if the lord is above
But, I know your mother is alive
In the stories you love
That you read to us when we were little
Until we were grown
And I'm gonna pass 'em on when I've
Got some kids of my own

(Kids of my own)

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (of the monsters in the closet, it would be alright)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (reading Goosebumps up in Tahoe on those summer nights)

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (of a moaning ghost, or of a pile of bones)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (even when the floorboards groaned)
LARS:

Did Stuart Little give up?
(No) He always persevered
You came on stage at Warped Tour
Remember how they cheered?
And unlike Jackie Paper I'll
Be back to Honalee to play you my new demos
Cause you're so honest with me
At home you won't put up
With that rapper ego crap
Cause to you I'm still Andrew
And I'll always treasure that
I'd choose my own adventure
It's taken me so far
Ghostriding giant peaches
Catching seagulls with these bars

WATSKY:

Keep all your nickels and dimes
Feed me your riddles and rhymes
Read me your Wrinkle in Time, build
Me a bridge out to Terabithia
Meet me at nine on the mysterious island
Right at the scene of the crime
Come with Captain Nemo, but I'm emo
Don't leave me behind
Starin' at the sun out on the
Quay 'till we're legally blind
Treasony, Mutiny on the Bounty
Just carry me there
Out by Where the Red Fern Grows
And then bury me there

(Bury me there)

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (of the Twit's or the Grinch or even Captain Hook)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (of Boggis, Bunce or Bean, no I was never shook)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (of the Grendel or of Ichabod Crane)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (even when the Tripods came)

CHARLYNE:

Now suddenly for the first time
I'm ready to be lost

LARS:

And If I ever have kids
I'll read them Strega Nona
Lyle Lyle Crocodile, Matilda, and Ramona

WATSKY:

I'll never give 'em the back of my hand
Give 'em the Giver, the River, Hatchet
And Raggedy Ann

LARS:

And even as a rap fiend, mama
You always kept my hats clean, mama

WATSKY:

Even though we have seen trauma
You always had the vaccine, mama

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (of gettin' lost in Narnia because we had a map)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
LARS: (in those Oakland Hills sitting on my mama's lap)

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (in Jumanji, or of Anansi)
CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
WATSKY: (there's no Orc or Morlock that haunts me)

CHARLYNE: I was never afraid
