lyrics

What are you afraid of/ most are scared of change/ or scared to be themselves so they're all the same/ I'm scared too when you're near me/ I'm scared you'll be here but you won't hear me

They ask why I never sleep/ cause I'm afraid too/ f I close my eyes I may not get up and save you

It's not enough to keep hope alive/ if what they say is true/ the meek will survive/ each day we try/ to not cry as much/ someone still dies/ and eyes erupt/ in tears for fears/ like 80's pop/ is life just crazy/ maybe not/ I've seen otherwise/ guys with out pride/ that terrorize/ gays that have it/ in ways its tragic/ like graves and caskets/ you saw buried/ that we carry/ long as we breathe/ my heart on my sleeve/ pen in my fist/ watch on my wrist/ that broke last year/ I stand here/ try to stand clear/ of the drama/ the blocks a sauna/ unless your momma/ is Sarah Conner/ its gonna be hard work/ like construction/ or fire fighting/ dope production/ or lyric writing/ my spirits fighting/ with its dukes up/ without a doubt/ yours slugs it out/ like mike tyson/ and king hippo/ slit the jab/ keep it simple/ don't get hit/ that's essential/ to reach your potential/ you gotta be Kimbo/ slice of the good life/ all I ask for/ just a few bucks/ and a chance to rap more/ my health and my feet/ on solid ground/ along with my peeps that got babies now

Everday I pray/ before sleeping/ that's weird to say/ I got my reasons/ my faith keeps beating/ in my chest/ don't think its leaving/ place your bets/ on your own/ like runaways/ I'm one that may/ sucumb to ways/ of the heart/ thats due in part/ to me being me/ hopeless romantic/ and dope emcee/ wrote this organic/ like green tea/ trimming the fat/ like rap should be/ this has to be/ hardest thing I've done/ like making ladies cum/ am I the crazy one/ the lately dumb/ cant see the forest/ for the oaks/ just like chuck norris/ they're a joke/ living in the past/ Given all I have/ to be myself/ don't think that's bad/ though someone else/ wont see it important/ like recycling/ I pay the price when/ dues are taken/ the more men know me/ the less they hating/ I guess be patient/ foes grow cold/ like frost giants/ some flip rhymes/ I toss science/ and fight the power/ like the rebel alliance
