Lyrics

Afraid of the struggle, afraid of the failure
Afraid of the zeros in the bank, no Azalea
Afraid of the people that I never met online
That wanna take the time to read your mind, Xavier
Afraid of the beast, 'cause I'm in the belly
This ain't really what they're showing people on the telly
Felt success and I ain't even famous by a stretch
And I can see 'em turning on me now already
Afraid of the dark, the soul goes deep
Afraid I'm awake and I can't feel sleep
Afraid of the day that my heart don't beat
And my mum's at the wake with a front row seat
Afraid I'm stubborn, I'll let things slip
And try pull back, but I can't get grip
Then I get my shot, but I can't let rip
So I shed this blood 'til I'm blue, no Crip
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
Afraid of the loss, afraid of the gain
Afraid of the close ones to me don't change
Afraid of the deals that exempt my pain
Make a slave in the end for a new gold chain
Afraid of the tweets, afraid of the judgement
Afraid that I'm used and abused and redundant
Afraid that the pop hits make me lose substance
And I'm too invested to use my reluctance
Afraid of my past, afraid of collision
Afraid of the wrong move, choice or decision
Afraid that I'm Superman to my kids now
But the next few years might make me a villain
Afraid of the lies, afraid of the stress
Afraid of the ones that'll go to the press
Yes, I'm afraid, but I'm sure that I've been here before
And I swore that I'd never take less
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
Afraid that I'm weak, afraid that I'm strong
And by the time you figure out both, man, I'm gone
Afraid to commit, afraid of a hundred percent
And afraid that I'll take too long
Afraid of attention, even though it drives me
Afraid of acceptance, do they really like me?
Afraid of the yes-men, even if I let them
Deep down I can tell they really wanna spite me
Afraid of the leap, the jump I can handle
Afraid of the tools they can use to dismantle
Afraid of the fact that I'm on right now
But somewhere higher up they can always press cancel
Afraid of a lot, I bare all thoughts
And take these knocks like it's contact sports
Dropped out of college, passed on uni
Number one songs now I change my course
What are you afraid of?
