Afraid Of Us Lyrics - Jonwayne

[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 never 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 wavelength bringing us together in a way 

So really 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 (x2) 

You think of me less than I am but maybe that's a blessing 

I just hope that I can spread my message 

A to Z (passing off to zeroh) 

[Chorus: Zeroh] 

Shit, all I want to 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 

Ya 

So put it down 

Put it down 

(x2) 

[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 

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 in the end it's my people bringing joy to the room 

Some advice: don't lose sight about where you're from 

A to Z 

[Chorus] 

[Outro: Jonwayne] 

Yo, look at these 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 

(x6) 

[Chorus]
