Don't Be Afraid

[Big Oak] Now set it off, like... Yo yo, yo Nick, where you at, my man? [Nick Fury] I'm right here. Right here. Cheapshot, where you at? [scratched] Say what? [Big Oak] See it took movin' with a fleet foot So the key should be to move limbs It's all sink or swim And I never even [unintelligible] and just slippin' to the bottom Just locked on to my targets When they close enough I shot 'em That's just how I do, already showed you But when you fall too many times that gets old too So now I promise that you'll never hear me complain again Cause when it comes to paying dues you're forced to stay in debt People came and went, my savings spent But I'm just happy I can pay my rent Although it takes me for my very last cent I never break down, prefer instead to break ground You can't hang the shake down and run through the night I'm to busy makin' moves to get caught up in your fight You try to raise it up but couldn't find the wind for your kite I simply worked harder, and now I'm set for the clock [chorus, woman's voice & Big Oak simultaneously] [woman] [Big Oak] Don't be afraid Whatcha doin with yourself? (that you'll lose?) And where ya going with yourself? And whatcha showin' of yourself? And are you happy with yourself? [repeat chorus 3 more times] [Nick Fury] As a kid they said to follow your heart Put your right foot forward and your left at the start You gotta be straight and narrow, slicked back with a part Follow the light or get stuck in the dark Man, ain't shit changed, gotta switch lanes Break down the wall if you don't flip frames I'm new to you but I got practice at this Every day it's an impression of Atlas And the fact is, I never gave up, gave in, or tapped out Got too much pride for that And it's an uphill climb, I get so tired that I pass out But I ain't slidin' back, I've Lost hope, watched it come out of nothing Heard a lot of talk, seen a lot of bluffing and I learned somthin' man, every day I stay breathin' That's what separates tryin' from believin' [chorus x 4]
