Fear

All of us have dealt with fear
But being scared ain't the shit that got me here
If you never take your shot,
Don't say shit about what you ain't got
You either learn or you gon get taught
You gon get taught

How many of us have seen the light of hope thinning
Engulfed by the shadow of fear our own mind spinning
Webs of lies entrapping dreams we wishing to be living
But life is not a Milton Bradley game made to win in
It's a decision
Schooling only makes it less convincing
And you can be successful if you follow their conditions
Chasing down the dreams, is deemed as unrealistic
But what's encrypted is the senseless grip of inconsistency
Judging everyone they see by standards that they've not achieved
Never made it happen, so what's that got to do with me
What
You never made it happen what's that got to do with me

All of us have dealt with fear
But being scared ain't the shit that got me here
If you never take your shot
Don't say shit 'bout what you ain't got
You either learn or you gon get taught
You gon get taught

I've made it through the school of hard knocks, no truancies
I can give two shits about what's in your college degree
I know I'm no prodigy
I just found the God in me
I realized I had to find the dark to shine but not fall too deep
Imma new tree born from an old seed
Leaves of good weed, watered with O.E.
No square root mentality
I only multiply my apathy from those who wanna subtract from me
Selling me dreams as a child to mildly take it back from me
These inactive thieves are actually acting Sadducees
Judgmental instructors who never make the stand to teach

All of us have dealt with fear
But being scared ain't the shit that got me here
If you never take your shot
Don't say shit 'bout what you ain't got
You either learn or
You gon get taught
You gon get taught
