Afraid of Us (Explicit)

Afraid of Us - Jonwayne

I was sitting in Japan when my nephew was born

Broke my damn heart when I wasn't there for him

It made me think about my life

And my order of operations

I was drunk at a show and f**ked my boy's set up

It was a blessing when he checked me at the check in

I ain't never been the same and I'll never forget it

I've been the burden of my people

And alienating fans

Just thinking they would never understand

Really it's wavelength bringing us together in a way

So really I should be more open to two way

And if I ever did you something dirty I do pray

I get another chance but this karma catching up in a true way

I've been so caught up in the lack of acceptance

I never focused on the man to accept

And if it's too late for a formal apology I accept it

And if it's too late for a formal apology I accept it

You think of me less than I am but maybe that's a blessing

I just hope that I can spread my message

A to z

All I want to say is put it down

Your position been compromised

Everything has a beginning and an end

I know glory'll take you dead or alive

In ruts f**ked up off such and such

Is thus just because

You're afraid of us

Ya

So put it down

Put it down

Your position been compromised

Everything has a beginning and an end

I know glory'll take you dead or alive

In ruts f**ked up off such and such

Is thus just because

You're afraid of us

All my life I was looking for love

Found it in Florida under the too hot sun

Took it for granted

Started to run

Became the man or a gun

But now I'm looking down the barrel of one

On my knees when we said she could see my skin was empty

Please wake me when the self hatred is done

And I try but she reminds me of what I've become

I thought I knew myself but that knowing is done

I just hope that she still sees my love

And for that I just hope these old songs take off

I need a house

And a rack

For every leaf of grass on my big a** lawn

And as I see my family progress all I want is a daughter or son

Been around the world playing rapper is dumb

Fulfilling fantasies of a teenage me

And in the end it's my people bringing joy to the room

Some advice don't lose sight about where you're from

A to z

All I want to say is put it down

Your position been compromised

Everything has a beginning and an end

I know glory'll take you dead or alive

In ruts f**ked up off such and such

Is thus just because

You're afraid of us

Ya

So put it down

Your position been compromised

Everything has a beginning and an end

I know glory'll take you dead or alive

In ruts f**ked up off such and such

Is thus just because

You're afraid of us

Ya

Look at these people

Counting on me when I can't even count on myself

Look at these homies

So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself

I need help

But I'm too damn proud to stop the progress now

I need to slow down

But I need a good friend to come and tell me how

Yo

Look at these people

Counting on me when I can't even count on myself

Look at these homies

So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself

I need help

But I'm too damn proud to stop the progress now

I need to slow down

But I need a good friend to come and tell me how

Yo

Look at these people

Counting on me when I can't even count on myself

Look at these homies

So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself

I need help

But I'm too damn proud to stop the progress now

I need to slow down

But I need a good friend to come and tell me how

Yo

Look at these people

Counting on me when I can't even count on myself

Look at these homies

So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself
