about

There's a lot of newer music that is being categorized as "Hip-Hop" just because the "artist" is rapping. But that shit really needs its own genre because we have standards over here.

lyrics

I Ain't Afraid

Verse 1:
Everybody wanna write just to get in the light
They think million dollar medallions is living the life
They talk about murder and claim that they spitting they're life
But only spitting on the music, sabotage and abuse it
Hope you don't expect me to just smile and embrace it
I put my heart in my music while others kicking fake shit
When I rock the mic I make the crowd go ape-shit
I eat rappers but now-a-days niggas is tasteless
It's a shame how many caught up in the game
They forgetting the lessons of the struggle from which they came
And if you listen to what I'm saying
You would know that this verse is intended to reverse the corporate curse
I use my brain cuz more than often it works
I'm spitting pain cuz reality hurt
And I'm deeper than a cavity search
I love music and money but at the end of the day imma always put my family first

Hook:
I Ain't Afraid to be the first Latin president
I Ain't Afraid to be hood and intelligent
I Ain't Afraid to speak on something relevant
The Hip-Hop game is sick and my lyrics is medicine
I Ain't Afraid to be a God fearing gentleman
I Ain't Afraid to admit who I'm better than
I Ain't Afraid to ride or die like a veteran
The Hip-Hop game is sick and my lyrics is medicine

Verse 2:
This bubblegum music is similar to a cold
So allow me to distribute this antibiotic flow
I'm like a doctor up in the booth
And my first recommendation is ya'll should start spitting the truth
See, Hip-Hop's my home and I don't mind all the tourist
But that snappin' of the fingers is really starting to bore us
I'm taking it back home to the streets of the 'X
Where niggas battled in the park just to see who's the best
And you talk about Techs while doing your 2-step
And said a whole bunch of nothing, irrelevant context
Come up with a concept and put your brain to the test
Bet half of you Motherfuckers couldn't spell "success"
You can get mad, im just saying what's on my chest
Got the music videos dictating how niggas dress
I'm married to the game, I don't care what you think
This built to last relation-ship cannot sink

-Hook-

Bridge:
I am not afraid, to be who I wanna be
You can try to hide, can't escape reality
I won't sell my soul, just to be on MTV
You can try, try, try, but won't get the best of me
(Repeat)

-Hook-
