Talib Kweli, 9th Wonder, Bad Lucc, Problem, Rapsody - Don't be Afraid lyrics

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

(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

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

(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

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

(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

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

(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

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

(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

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 it's axis

(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
