[Introduction] Fear is nothing more than a feeling You feel hot You feel hungry You feel angry You feel afraid Fear can never kill you
[Verse 1: Tonedeff] Now who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? That's if you can admit it if you get that shook Cause everyone's been in a bit of a pinch that looked A bit bad, couldn't predict that you would live past where you stood I'm scared of God comin' back askin' if I read his big black book ... I'm afraid but I act natural ... Since I nearly lost my life and my wife in a taxi The echoes of the impact retroactively attack me I'm afraid of having a baby that lacks feet Afraid of rugged terrain ... Afraid of any school aged child that packs heat ... wake up from a bad dream I'm afraid of wasting years of my life on this rap scene ... So many tragedies happening now from the flat screen But they're never as real as hearing your family's last screams Cause God didn't make us to die So fear is an ... instinct given to keep us alive So when you feel the chills reel up your spine And the adrenaline fills you Don't stress, cause fear can still kill you

[Verse 2: Mecca] I'm known as a brave guy But to say I'm fearless is to say lies Some I might have until my days die My fears are few, but powerful When the days done and your demons come to devour you and kill if you allow them to Feelings I'm familiar with known as a grown man Heart pounding will make your spine shudder like a cold hand Nothing logical about it, wild, irrational, makin' your mind clouded Can you explain yours? I doubt it Why do thoughts of failure make me uptight I don't swim Cause the fear drown and wakes me up nights I don't win Stare a nightmare in the eye when I stood at my pop's grave Was not afraid of death, but with his I was not brave He was proud but didn't live to see me a make hot stage I cry to see his pride when I rock and got praised That's why I spot days, it's more than a clock's hours Refusal let the fear block power

[Verse 3: Session] Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo I'm 23 started writing in my late-teens ... when I was 18 Thinkin' I'm the nicest My first song ... Naive, thinkin' I'm one step away from this great dream Had plans for the top even had ... Listenin' to my old shit, I know why my manager stopped callin' Gotta take advantages, not often niggas want to put you on I need a hand just to stop fallin' Fall away from my dreams And I didn't go to college cause your boy was supposed to go all the way to the green All the way to the scene of Biggie's performance on the show Imagine I saw my screen of the face, damn I try to tell myself "I won't fail" But if I do ain't no "Oh well" What the fuck do I do if I don't sell? I'm scared that I'm wasting my life being Joe Schmoe with no dough ... and I'm wasting my life, fuck that
[Hook]
[Verse 4: PackFM] You may think I'm frontin', but let me tell you I ain't scared of nothin' And nowadays you always gotta be prepared for somethin' Cause life is a game that we play The chips ... but most times you don't land where you want to There were days when I would have said I was afraid of heights When I was younger I couldn't go to sleep without the lights But when I got over it I really started noticin' We only fear a situation when we ain't controllin' it I would have seen more scary movies if somebody woulda told a kid That when you turn the TV off the monsters go away You know they say there's nothing to fear, but being afraid And I'm afraid I never seen the difference being scared ... Except for opportunities to advance going to waste I never ran so you
