Not Afraid

[Chorus]
I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to leave my family
I’m not afraid to cry just play these cards they been handing me
I’m not afraid to fly over your head so tell me that you understanding me
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid

[Verse 1]
Left the house today a helicopter outside
Told my baby stay why I can’t let my spouse ride
A rainy day one man filled wit pain turn his aim and say bang
And momma can’t explain away or make that cloud hide
I’d rather take that risk by my lo lo lonely
Take my life yea that’s a gift let my folks go home please
Sons daughters bruddas sisters mom and pop
Gunshots is hitting victims won’t it stop
Bullets rain police strike em like lightning now they under
Mommas praying in silence that violence sounded like thunder
I’m just saying these cities burning it’s been a hot summer
Think we playing my people hurting how could you not wonder why

[Chorus]
I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to leave my family
I’m not afraid to cry just play these cards they been handing me
I’m not afraid to fly over your head so tell me that you understanding me
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid

[Verse 2]
To face my fears
Told my baby Im gon cry that day been saving tears
Spread my wings and fly away been fighting for some years
Tell the truth they might’ve stayed but I’m not like my peers
You can see it in my face my eyes say I’m right here
Even though I’m thinking bout death
Thank God everyday that I’m alive
Maybe that’s why everybody left
Thats before they found out I was right
When I go they gon say we lost a legend
Make sure they know to respect who I’m respecting
That’s on my soul I’m a leave my folks a blessing
Who said I won’t them the ones that I’m addressing

[Chorus]
I’m not afraid to die I’m afraid to leave my family
I’m not afraid to cry just play these cards they been handing me
I’m not afraid to fly over your head so tell me that you understanding me
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
