Fear Over Love

[Intro]
(Great John on the beat, by the way)
Been up, yeah, yes
Holdin' my head up, me dead or in jail
But that's what they want
But that's what they need
Look

[Chorus]
You know it get worse before it get better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Expectin' the worst, still pray for the better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Me dead or in jail, but that's what they want (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
Just to lie and throw labels on me, nigga

[Verse]
What do you see when you look at me? Huh
I'd rather fear over love, loyalty come before royalty, huh
I know that they sick of me now
Glock movin' like medicine, look
I know that they missin' me now
But never tried look for me then
I know that these niggas pretend, so I gotta
Stay with the Smith like Wesson, huh
Mama, I'm sorry, still movin' around
I'm still movin' with weapons, huh
Been through the shelter, we been through the struggle
We been through it all, huh
Don't want your problems, just tell me your problems
I'm solvin' 'em all, I'm solvin' 'em all

[Chorus]
You know it get worse before it get better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Expectin' the worst, still pray for the better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Me dead or in jail, but that's what they want (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
Just to lie and throw labels on me
You know it get worse before it get better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Expectin' the worst, still pray for the better (Yeah, yeah)
Still holdin' my head up
Me dead or in jail, but that's what they want (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
But that's what they need (Yeah)
Just to lie and throw labels on me, nigga

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
But that's what they want, yeah
But that's what they need, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
