Afraid of Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1: 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 fucked my boy's set up It was a blessing when he checked me at the check in I ain't been the same and I'll never forget it (Thank you D) I've been the burden of my people and alienating fans Just thinking they would never understand Really it's the wavelength bringing us together in a way So 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 (Yeah) 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 me less of what I am but maybe that's a blessing I just hope that I can spread my message A to Z [Chorus: Zeroh] Shit, all I could 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, fucked up off such and such Is thus just because you're afraid of us? Yea, so put it down Put it down Now your position been compromised Everything has a beginning and an end I know glory'll take you dead or alive In ruts, fucked up off such and such Is thus just because you're afraid of us? [Verse 2: Jonwayne] 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 I heard 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-ass 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 at the end it's my people bringing joy to the one Some advice: don't you ever lose sight about where you're from A to Z [Chorus: Zeroh] Shit, all I could 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, fucked up off such and such Is thus just because you're afraid of us? Yea, so put it down Put it down Now, your position been compromised, ah Everything has a beginning and an end I know glory'll take you dead or alive In ruts, fucked up off such and such Is thus just because you're afraid of us? [Outro: Jonwayne & Zeroh] Yo, look at these people (Look at these people) Counting on me when I can't even count on myself Look at these homies (Look at these homies) So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself I need help (I need help) But I'm too damn proud to stop the progress now I need to slow down (I need to slow down) But I need a good friend to come and tell me how Yeah, look at these people (Look at these people) Counting on me when I can't even count on myself Look at these homies (Yeah, look at these homies) So sure of me when I'm not so sure of myself I need help (Man, I need help) But I'm too damn proud to stop the progress now I need to slow down (I need to slow down) But I need a good friend to come and tell me how Lthese 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
