Beyond Scared

 

I am afraid of simple things

Because I'm only 16
And afraid what life has to bring
See
I am afraid of heaven yet afraid of hell
Afraid to do better.
Afraid of jail
Afraid Ima fail at every attempt to prevail
Afraid I have the potential to kill
I am afraid that my reality ended up to be fake
I'm afraid I'm going to repeat all of my mistakes
I'm afraid that the people who say there by my side
All looked me in the eyes and lied
I am afraid...
Afraid of weakness
Afraid of power
I'm afraid time moves too fast and I waste my hours
I'm afraid to lose by lifeline my mama
Even though I'm tired of our drama
I'm afraid to lose my father 
Even though he barely bothered
I'm afraid to remain broke, I'm afraid to get rich
I'm afraid of people changing, all types of shit
I'm afraid my girl gone get up and go
Man I'm truly afraid to be alone
I'm afraid of being afraid for the rest of my days
I'm afraid he don't listen when I take my time to pray....
