Dear Fear

[00:06.18] Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
[00:12.92] Ah, ah-ah, ah
[00:19.35] Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
[00:24.66] Yeah
[00:27.01] Toxic papi, turned profit, probably
[00:29.25] Couldn't find me, I've been with my sheikha out in Abu Dhabi
[00:32.46] Heard you saw my ex-girl chillin' in the Oscars lobby
[00:35.63] Holdin' five trophies, cryin' and lookin' hella sloppy
[00:38.78] I've been givin' all of my energy to my real ones
[00:41.94] If you gon' flip the script on your homie, it's fuck a day one
[00:45.39] Resmaa told me, "Why is you wallowing? Pick your face up!"
[00:48.62] It's life reps, all preparation for when your day come
[00:51.74] When people see you growing, surpassing what they imagined
[00:54.68] They quick to call you a fraud, attempting to steal your magic
[00:57.85] I told her I'm moving on, arguing every day
[01:01.03] You don't trust me and you ain't wrong, but baby, the love is gone
[01:04.53] Like, we should start this book club
[01:06.28] Reading really been helping me
[01:07.95] I'm learning to communicate healthily, this is wealth for me
[01:11.15] But you ain't tryna hear it, you're hurtin' and yeah, I get it
[01:14.07] But it's time for me to get up and get to where I am headed, I got
[01:18.42] Free time
[01:19.81] I got so much free time
[01:23.01] I'm never gon' rewind
[01:26.34] I left your ass behind
[01:29.26] I catch my cab, I'm gone
[01:32.62] I let my seat recline
[01:35.52] I'm on my way back home
[01:39.03] I'm throwing up peace signs
[01:44.31] I really gotta thank you for protecting me
[01:46.57] For all these years, but I had to grow up and tell you, "Let me be"
[01:50.02] Let me feel, let me know love, my nigga, let me heal
[01:53.13] 'Cause you've been keeping from my best days, I know that you mean well
[01:57.33] But this isn't back then
[01:58.98] These demons are imaginary, bro, that was back then
[02:02.15] It's time to move on, it's time to start a new song
[02:05.09] You're always putting out some fire, but your water too strong
[02:08.24] Used to be a firefighter, now I water my lawn and keep the grass cut
[02:12.79] Tossing every snake to the birds, fuck what you heard
[02:15.77] Every pothole I swerve, actions follow my words
[02:19.18] All my people loyal, so loyal what they deserve
[02:22.38] And I know that you here to make sure that I'm never hurt
[02:25.50] But pain is unavoidable, that's just something I learned
[02:28.73] If you never let in the pain, you never learn how to love, you don't experience joy
[02:34.27] It's like, "How long can I run?"
[02:35.87] It's like, "How long can I live?"
[02:37.46] It sucks to hold on to my love when I got so much to give
[02:40.61] I always gave you the wheel, but now it's, "Get out the whip"
[02:43.84] "And get yo' ass in the back!"
[02:45.72] I'm lettin' love run the ship, so you can sit and relax
[02:48.87] And if I need you, I'll call: at least I know where you at
[02:52.11] You got me all the way here, I'm hella grateful for that
[02:55.55] We made it farther than most, got me through all of my lows
[02:58.68] But fear, it's time that you rest: just know I love you to death
[03:03.13]
