SCARED OF THE DARK

[INTRO: Essie Kamau]
White hates me, black hates me too
Who's gonna love me, who's gonna love me now
Man eat man, is the life in the gun for you
Who's gonna love me, who's gonna love me now

[VERSE: Viking]
Momma and Pop went their separate ways
The ink on them papers not even dry yet
Sister having my niece on the way
A nigga in class flunking all the fucking tests
Lights dimming, had to find another way
Pockets full of caterpillars morphing into butterflies
Adidas with four white lines more cracked than slay queens' phone screens
Damned dimes, saved mine for studio time
Knee caps broke up with the alter
Alters coursing my interior, my motives ulterior
Police on my neck and the streets want me dead
In a land where I feel like prey, inferior
Fuck love in here
Only with extensions when she'll put your gun in her mouth and blow away
I just wanna load the above in a gun, put it in my mouth and blow away

[HOOK: Viking & Essie Kamau]
I'm scared of the dark (Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark)
I'm scared of the dark (Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark)
I've been looking for a way out (Looking for a way out, looking for the light)
I'm scared of the dark (Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark)
Been scared

Devil's in the dark (Devil's in the dark)
Trouble's in the dark (Trouble's in the dark)
Survival's in the dark (Survival's in the dark)
Where is God? Where is God in the dark
Light skins in the dark
Dark ones want the light
Dreams die in the dark
Everybody wanna feel alive

[POST-HOOK: Essie Kamau]
Who's gonna, who's gonna
Who's gonna love me now
Man eat man, is the life in the gun for you
Who's gonna, who's gonna
Who's gonna love me now

[BRIDGE: Viking]
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it
I did not choose to be black, the Lord made me
I did not choose to be born of this tribe
I did not chose to be living this life
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it
That in this gun is where I was created
I never filled no fucking application
My ancestors shoulda gone with the slave ship

[OUTRO: Viking]
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared of the dark
