Afraid of Us

[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
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 ook 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
